I Just Want to Be a Quiet Top Student

This semester is the fourth semester of Zhou Yu'an's Ph.D. He really wants to get a PhD in this semester.

Getting a PhD from Princeton means academic success, and then you can go out and pretend to be B.

However, Zhou Yu'an worked so hard to prepare his doctoral thesis for three semesters, which was rejected by his tutor Figali at the beginning of this semester.

Shen Qi asked: "Did you not consult Professor Figali when you started your doctoral dissertation?"

"Of course I asked him for instructions, and he agreed with my project design, but at the end, I wrote and wrote, and I went astray..." Zhou Yu'an was very annoyed.

"Then there is nothing you can do. This is your own problem, and you can't blame your supervisor." Shen Qi understood that Zhou Yu'an's doctoral dissertation had an amazing start, but the end of it was overwhelming.

"It's so annoying. My doctoral dissertation may have to be greatly revised. It will take me an extra year or two, or even longer." Zhou Yu'an beat his chest and stamped his feet. He started with a bad start, which is something no author of a thesis would want to encounter. tragedy.

"This kind of situation often happens to you. Cut it early and feel at ease, start a new project early and graduate early." Shen Qi put forward an objective and pertinent suggestion.

"Do you want to be so cruel?" Zhou Yu'an was speechless.

"It's not cruelty, it's reality." Shen Qi retorted.

"I came to talk to you, but you beat me mercilessly. Is this a brother?" Zhou Yu'an was hit hard.

Shen Qi said: "True brothers will advise you to cut off unfinished papers early, Zhou Yu'an, show me your papers, and I will help you diagnose and see how to cut them all or part of them."

Zhou Yu'an took out a USB flash drive and inserted it into Shen Qi's computer case. His doctoral thesis was in the USB flash drive.

"Bring the paper with you, you come prepared." Shen Qi manipulated the mouse to quickly review Zhou Yu'an's paper.

"Differential geometry + partial differential equations, the majestic opening, eye-catching and fascinating." Shen Qi highly praised the introduction of this paper.

"Mr. Qiu Chengtong won the Philippine Award for this skill, and Brende, who won the award with me last year, is also a master in this field. Your mentor Figali is very promising for the next Philippine Award." Shen Qi quickly scrolled down, one page Papers stay for a maximum of 1 minute.

"Be serious, please?" Zhou Yu'an knew Shen Qi's level, but it would take days or even months for me to complete a one-page dissertation, and you read it in a minute?

Shen Qi summarized Zhou Yu'an's doctoral thesis: "From the perspective of partial differential equations, this is a highly nonlinear hyperbolic equation. Up to page 37, your work is perfect, and I can't find any faults. However, after page 37, you collapsed inexplicably, and the n-dimensional compact manifold on page 63 is the biggest failure, I don’t want to read it after page 63, it doesn’t make any sense.”

"Hey..." Zhou Yu'an sighed, and Shen Qi hit his sore spot right away. He wrote 120 pages of this thesis, which took a year and a half. In Shen Qi's opinion, only the first third passed the mark, and the rest were all useless articles. .

"Cut off all the content after page 37, and I will tell you a method to draw the correct conclusion without changing the original setting of your paper." Shen Qi gave his diagnostic opinion.

"It's... cut so much, Professor Figali suggested that I keep the first 50 pages."

"Then you should change it according to Professor Figali's suggestion, after all, he is your mentor."

"Professor Shen Da, let me hear your detailed opinion."

"Your goal is to obtain the exact solution of the hyperbolic geometric flow. The first 37 pages actually obtained the first type of solution. Next, you don't need to prove the second type of solution, just give a special solution and you're done." Shen Qi deleted all pages 38-120 of Yu'an's paper last week on the computer.

Zhou Yuan was in a hurry: "Hey, make a copy first and then delete it!"

"Forget everything after page 37, Zhou Yu'an." Shen Qi crackled and typed on the new 38 pages, wrote half a page, saved it, pulled out the USB flash drive and returned it to Zhou Yu'an: "My suggestions are all in there, take them back Do your own research."

"It's only half a page, it's a sting." Zhou Yu'an put away the USB flash drive.

"You are content, Zhou Yu'an, I am a reviewer for a mathematics journal, and the review comments are at most three sentences or three formulas. I didn't give her a single word of opinion on Ouye's doctoral thesis."

Zhou Yu'an was surprised and asked: "Ouye is so strong that you can't find a single fault? Or is her doctoral dissertation so bad that you don't want to read it at all?"

Shen Qi: "I haven't read her doctoral dissertation. I only know that the general direction of the topic is related to the Jesmanovich conjecture."

"I'm both sleeping on the same bed and I still don't want to watch it, you two are so funny." Zhou Yu'an shook his head and left.

At the end of January, New Year's Eve.

Academician Pan, Lu Guozhen, and Director Wu all called Shen Qi to congratulate him on the new year.

Lu Guozhen reported good news. He was in charge of the Hodge Conjecture mathematical analysis section and made great progress. His team had a holiday on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month and went to work on the eighth day.

Director Wu reported worry. He said that the topology section he was in charge of encountered major obstacles and was difficult to overcome. His team was still working overtime on New Year's Eve and the fourth day of junior high school.

Academician Pan didn't report good news or bad news. He just complained that the gift Shen Qi gave him was too profound. After nearly two months of research, he and his team came to the preliminary conclusion: I don't understand it!

On the road of academic research, there will inevitably be difficulties, and if there are difficulties, solve them. Shen Qi settled everything in Princeton, and returned to Nangang City on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month in China. He had a Lantern Festival at home and went to capital.

First stop, Yanda University.

Shen Qi listened to the special report by Lu Guozhen's team on "Hodge's Conjecture Mathematical Analysis Method". This report lasted for three full days. The dean and four academicians of the School of Mathematics of Yanda University attended the report meeting.

The 973 project led by Shen Qi has been highly valued by the YSU campus, and anyone who engages in mathematics understands the importance of Hodge's conjecture.

Especially after physicists proposed the intimate cross-border relationship between Hodge's conjecture and quantum entanglement, the academic status of this mathematical millennium problem continued to rise.

Hodge conjectured that it was originally located on Mount Everest at 8848 meters.

Shen Qi recognized the preliminary research results of Lu Guozhen's team, and also put forward some suggestions and opinions. He hoped that the Yanda team will make persistent efforts to achieve the final results as soon as possible, and join forces with his Princeton team smoothly.

The second stop, Morningside Math Center.

Shen Qi listened to the special report of Director Wu's team on "Hodge's Conjecture Topology Method".

Shen Qi made a summary and gave instructions: "The results are gratifying, but there are still problems. Director Wu, I know it well. How about this? Our team has two days off, including four days off last weekend...Excuse me? Don't be like this guys, I know you've been working overtime on New Year's Eve to solve problems, and you really need to rest and let yourself go. Next Monday, I will work with you to solve the problem, and for the next four days, I ask you to completely relax."
