Third-Generation Mathematician
"404 pages, done!"
Shen Qi and Ou Ye jointly completed the electronic paper on the "Strong BSD Conjecture Proof".
Shen Qi thought for a moment and said, "The number 404 is unlucky, let's add another page."
Ou Ye nodded and said, "Okay, I'll add it. You can leave for a moment."
Shen Qi smiled and asked, "Avoidance? What, are you holding back some big move?"
"Why don't you step aside for a bit? Go and check on the other participants. I heard some of them are very emotionally unstable and have even attempted suicide."
"Is that so? I'll go find out what happened." Shen Qi frowned and left Ou Ye's hospital room.
Faced with this massive work of over 400 pages, Ou Ye was deeply moved. She typed on the keyboard and added an acknowledgment at the end of the paper:
"I would like to thank my former advisors, Gong Changwei Elon and Lyndon Strauss. Professor Gong Changwei proved that two-thirds of Elliptic Curve satisfy the BSD Conjecture, which greatly helped the argument in this paper. Professor Lyndon Strauss taught me the ingenious approach of using Elliptic Curve to solve number theory problems during my doctoral studies, laying the foundation for the completion of this paper."
"I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Academician Deng Ximing, Dean of the School of Mathematical Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Professor Zhou Yu'an of the Shen Qi Research Center at Yenching University, for their support in various aspects of this paper."
"Finally, I would like to thank my husband, Shen Qi."
The final draft of the paper is 405 pages.
After typing the last odd word, Ouye burst into tears.
Her journey was arduous, but fortunately, several benefactors appeared in her life.
Her mentors, Gong Changwei and Elon Lyndon Strauss, who are highly professional, Deng Ximing, the Dean of the School of Mathematics who has always been tolerant of her, Zhou Yu'an, who selflessly dedicates himself to his brother's wife, Shen Qi, who takes meticulous care of his wife.
These people are Ou Ye's benefactors.
Ou Ye's thank-you note to Shen Qi was the shortest.
According to the unwritten rules of the martial arts world, the fewer the words, the bigger the story, and the deeper the feelings.
The next step is to publish this important paper in an academic journal.
Shen Qi has already made arrangements for the publication of the "Strong BSD Conjecture Proof" in the Chinese Mathematical Journal, a Journal of Mathematics journal sponsored by the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
The Journal of Mathematics Sinica is the most authoritative mathematics journal in China. Journal A is the Chinese version, and Journal B is the English version.
Each issue of the * Journal of Mathematics * contains approximately 400-450 pages and typically publishes 10-12 articles.
The Strong BSD Conjecture Proof is 405 pages long and will be featured in a special issue of the Journal of Mathematics Sinica, published simultaneously in both Chinese and English editions.
The Strong BSD Conjecture Proof quickly arrived at the editorial office of the Journal of Mathematics, located inside the Chinese Academy of Sciences compound. It bypassed the formal submission process and was directly handed to the editor-in-chief Gu Weiye.
Editor-in-Chief Gu was extremely excited, as he fully understood the significance and importance of the paper "Strong BSD Conjecture Proof".
If the Strong BSD Conjecture Proof is published in the Journal of Mathematics Sinica, it will inevitably cause the subscription of the Journal of Mathematics Sinica to increase exponentially.
Subscription numbers are one aspect, but the most important thing is academic influence.
The * Journal of Mathematics * is an SCI journal with a latest impact factor of 0.726, the highest in China.
With the help of the Strong BSD Conjecture Proof, Editor-in-Chief Gu has an ambitious vision that perhaps by the next IF calculation, our Journal of Mathematics will have an IF of over 1.0, thus becoming the most influential mathematics journal in Asia.
"Old Qian, publish <The Strong BSD Conjecture Proof> in both Chinese and English, and distribute it directly, the sooner the better!" Editor-in-Chief Gu assigned his capable subordinate, Old Qian, to handle the distribution work. Old Qian is the deputy editor-in-chief of the <Journal of Mathematics>.
"Received, understood! Printing and distribution have been arranged. Send the manuscript over, and it'll be printed immediately." Deputy Editor-in-Chief Old Qian was willing to act as a gofer, even though this was something the deputy editor-in-chief shouldn't be doing.
Bang!
The door to the editor-in-chief's office was pushed open.
A man entered; although he was over sixty years old, he had few gray hairs and was full of energy, walking with a vigorous stride.
"Academician Su, what brings you here?" Editor-in-Chief Gu and Deputy Editor-in-Chief Qian stood up respectfully.
Academician Su Wenxie's eyebrows shot up, and he shouted, "You two are doing something quite remarkable here!"
"We... we didn't do anything. It was just routine work." Editor-in-Chief Gu and Deputy Editor-in-Chief Qian both feared and respected Academician Su Wenxie. Academician Su's sudden challenge made Old Gu and Old Qian a little nervous.
Academician Su Wenxie comes from a distinguished family of mathematicians; his ancestor Old Academician Su, was one of the founders of modern mathematics in China.
Old Academician Su almost single-handedly supported the Mathematics Department of Zhejiang University; he is an epic figure in Chinese mathematics.
Epic-level masters usually come with their own system; wherever the master goes, the system follows.
For mathematics, a systematic approach is especially important. After Old Academician Su was transferred to Fudan University, the Mathematics Department at Zhejiang University was severely weakened, while the Mathematics Department at Fudan University rose to prominence.
Old Academician Su is an academician, his students are also academicians, and his students' students are also academicians.
Old Academician Su trained a total of eight academicians for the New China, which, together with himself, is known as the Ninth Institute of Three Generations. These academicians include outstanding mathematicians such as Gu Chaohao, Li Daqian, Hu Hesheng.
Academician Su Wenxie is a descendant of Old Academician Su, but not Old Academician Su student.
Old Academician Su's influence in East China is so great that even his descendants live in his shadow.
Academician Su Wenxie left East China long ago. He went north to study mathematics and obtained a doctorate in mathematics from the mysterious Normal School in Paris.
Academician Su Wenxie is a descendant of an epic figure in the Chinese Mathematics Community, and Editor-in-Chief Gu and Deputy Editor-in-Chief Su Wenxie hold him in high esteem.
Academician Su Wenxie, a member of the elite and a member of the first generation of mathematicians, inherited an epic lineage. Not only does he come from a prestigious family, but he also possesses exceptional mathematical abilities.
As a member of the editorial board of the * Journal of Mathematics *, Academician Su Wenxie did not frequently visit the editorial office of the * Journal of Mathematics *.
To evaluate the strength of an academic journal, don't just look at who its editor-in-chief is.
The real bigwigs of academic journals are often hidden within the editorial board.
Gu Weiye, the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Mathematics, is a professional mathematician and is well-known in the field.
The editorial board of the Journal of Mathematics comprises five academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, one of whom is Academician Su Wenxie.
Academician Su Wenxie must have had a reason for barging into the editor-in-chief's office today. "Is a paper manuscript published directly without reviewers?"
"This..." Editor-in-Chief Gu knew which paper Academician Su Wenxie was referring to when he said "a paper"; it must be the one titled "Strong BSD Conjecture Proof."
Academician Su Wenxie possesses pure lineage, exceptional professional skills, and strong principles, which is precisely why Editor-in-Chief Gu and Deputy Editor-in-Chief Qian admire him.
Editor-in-Chief Gu explained, "Academician Su, normally every valuable academic paper goes through the peer review process. However, our editorial department feels that this paper, 'Strong BSD Conjecture Proof,' can be handled as a special case. This is also the opinion of Academician Shen and Professor Ou."
Academician Su Wenxie, who also serves as the director of the Institute of Mathematics at Shuimu University, was furious. "Shen Qi is an academician, but am I not?"
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant! Academician Su, please don't misunderstand!" Editor-in-Chief Gu was sweating profusely. Both Academician Shen and Academician Su were big shots he couldn't afford to offend.
"Every country has its laws, and every industry has its rules. Without rules, nothing can be accomplished! Gu Weiye, you're better off not being the editor-in-chief!" Academician Su Wenxie slammed his fist on the table and cursed loudly.
"I..." Gu Weiye, the editor-in-chief, felt utterly humiliated and could only mutter softly, unable to make a loud noise.
Once you enter the Mathematics Community, you'll realize that in this winner-takes-all industry, the big shots can do whatever they want, while the small fry must remember: when you're about to get beaten, stand up straight.
After Academician Su Wenxie finished his tirade, he suddenly asked, "When will Shen Qi's wife's paper be published?"
"I... you..." Gu Weiye and Old Qian looked at each other, feeling that their IQs needed a boost in front of the unfathomable Academician Su.
Academician Su Wenxie added, "Ou Ye is from Yenching University, Shen Qi is from Yenching University, and Deng Ximing and his group from Yenching University are all unsuitable to undertake the interpretation of the <Strong BSD Conjecture Proof>. The interpretation of the <Strong BSD Conjecture Proof> will be handled by my Tsinghua University team."
