Regarding Yang Wuzhi's words, Yu Hua could only express modestly and tactfully that you were joking.
Professor Yu Hua?
I am not qualified yet.
As for the future, becoming a professor is just a matter of course.
"Congratulations, Yu Sheng, and thank you very much for bringing glory to the Department of Mathematics at Tsinghua University." After Yang Wuzhi stepped aside, the department chair Xiong Qinglai stepped forward and looked at this mathematical genius who had heard his name for so long but never seen him, with admiration in his eyes.
.
"This is what I should do, Professor Xiong." Yu Hua spoke respectfully and modestly, like a humble gentleman.
"Yu Sheng, the department has held an academic lecture specifically for you. Professors and students from Yan'an University, Peking University, and Nankai University will come to listen to the lecture. It will be three days later. What do you think?" Xiong Qing came to see this and asked Yu Hua, a mathematical genius.
He was even more satisfied and immediately revealed the decision made by the Department of Mathematics.
When Yu Hua heard this, he was startled: "Three days later, July 7th?"
"Yes, is there any problem?" Xiong Qinglai nodded affirmatively.
"Can the lecture be rescheduled to July 8? The time is too tight and students need a little more time to prepare." Yu Hua thought for a moment and responded to the department chair Xiong Qinglai.
Academic lectures were held on July 7th. Others did not understand the significance of this day, but Yu Hua understood that he did not want such an important day to become a time for him to gain fame and academic status.
People should have the most basic sense of awe.
Xiong Qinglai smiled and expressed his understanding: "Okay, the time is tentatively scheduled for July 8th."
"Thank you." Yu Hua thanked him respectfully.
Xiong Qinglai smiled and waved, then stepped aside.
The only professors left in front were Zhao Zhongyao and master Hua Luogeng.
"Yu Sheng, congratulations." Zhao Zhongyao came forward, winked at Yu Hua, and sent heartfelt congratulations. He was happy for this young talented assistant from the bottom of his heart.
Yu Hua thanked him again: "Thank you, Professor."
Zhao Zhongyao nodded with a smile and stepped aside. This time, the only person on the court who had not sent congratulations was Hua Luogeng.
"Yu Hua, keep working hard and don't let up. This is a reply written by Professor Lefshetz, the editor-in-chief of the Annual Report of Mathematics, personally. Take a look at it later." Under the gaze of everyone, Hua Luogeng came to Yu Hua and glanced at Yu Hua.
, no congratulations, but admonishments like elders.
Immediately afterwards, a completely sealed letter was delivered to Yu Hua personally.
"Students should remember the teachings." Yu Hua took the handwritten letter and bowed to Hua Luogeng.
The picture is frozen. Yu Hua, who respects his teacher, and Hua Luogeng, who teaches diligently, form a beautiful painting full of artistic flavor. As witnesses, everyone seems to see a rising sun.
President Mei Yiqi and a group of Tsinghua professors came to congratulate in person. This is the authority and influence of the world's top academic journal Mathematics Annual Report. Although National Tsinghua University runs its own Tsinghua Journal, in terms of authority and influence, it is not as good as the Mathematics Annual Report.
The distance between them is as big as the Pacific Ocean.
This is no exaggeration.
At the age of eighteen and as a recommended student of Tsinghua University, Yu Hua successfully published a mathematics paper signed by the first author in the Annual Report of Mathematics. This paper was not only listed as a core article, but its results reached the level of Fields Medal.
degree.
The shock of this incident really cannot be described in words.
The general public and the domestic news media may not know what this means, but Mei Yiqi and the Tsinghua professors present do.
The authority and influence of the Annual Report of Mathematics is completely equivalent to that of "Science" and "Nature". It stands at the top of the pyramid system of mathematics journals and is well-deserved No. 1!
"The key is that he is only eighteen years old now. I really don't know what achievements he will achieve in the future." Looking at Yu Hua bowing and saluting, Yang Wuzhi sighed softly. He recalled his talented son in his mind and couldn't help but think about his eighteen-year-old son.
What will it look like when.
After all the professors had finished their congratulations, Mei Yiqi, who was standing nearby, said: "Yu Sheng, before coming here, I have convened a brief meeting with the school's senior management and professors from the Department of Mathematics. After everyone discussed it, it was decided that in order to commend you for your contribution to China."
For your contribution to the field of mathematics and school honors, you will be personally rewarded with a thousand yuan. The money may be a little small, but this is the biggest reward that the school can offer. I hope you can understand."
A thousand oceans.
Not one thousand French coins.
This amount of money seems to be a lot, but if you carefully compare this mathematical paper that has reached the level of Fields Medal, you can find that the value between the two is not equal.
A Thousand Oceans simply cannot accurately measure the true value and influence of this paper.
If it had been placed at Yan University, the richest university next door, Yu Hua would have received a cash reward of more than 30,000 yuan for this paper.
Due to the current tense situation in Peiping and Tsinghua University's tight funding, it is not easy for Mei Yiqi, as the president, to unilaterally decide to reward Yu Hua with a thousand oceans.
"One thousand is enough. School is not easy either. Thank you, principal." Although Yu Hua was a little disappointed in his heart, the school didn't spend a huge sum of money to knock him out and let him experience life without having to settle for anything. Fortunately, it didn't cost him a thousand oceans.
It’s not a big deal, at least I don’t have to worry about my personal life.
For Yu Hua, these cash rewards are actually not important. What is important is fame and influence.
The academic lecture three days later, no, four days later, was the moment when he further established his fame and influence.
Hearing this, Mei Yiqi smiled and said: "The reward will be given to you next Monday. Come to the Academic Affairs Office to collect it then."
"Okay, principal." Yu Hua nodded.
"We won't disturb you for the time being. You have a good rest for the rest of your life." After the congratulations and rewards were announced, what needed to be said had been said. Mei Yiqi said goodbye. As the principal, he still had many things to do, so he could come to the door in person.
It's really rare.
Seeing this, Yu Hua did not say anything to persuade him to stay, and watched Mei Yiqi and the professors leave. Soon, except for Hua Luogeng and Zhao Zhongyao, the other four professors all left.
The noisy atmosphere in the office disappeared and was replaced by silence.
"This time you have become famous in the Chinese mathematics circle. I heard from President Mei that after you graduate with your Ph.D. and return from studying abroad, you will be hired as a professor at Tsinghua University."
Hua Luogeng's eyes fell on Yu Hua, and a smile appeared on his face. After saying a simple sentence, his eyes showed concern, and his words were calm and appropriate: "I heard that you moved from the dormitory to the nuclear physics laboratory and served as Professor Zhao's assistant.
What is it like to live here?”
Yu Hua responded with a smile: "Students have a good life here. They have been exposed to and learned the most cutting-edge nuclear physics knowledge with Professor Zhao, and have accumulated rich experimental experience. Master, why is the review time so fast?"
quick!
Faster than expected!
Yu Hua never thought that the review process for the paper sent out last month not only did not suffer from troubles such as being returned for revision or lost, but was actually extremely efficient and fast, and it was officially published at the beginning of this month.
This review speed is completely inconsistent with common sense.
Zhao Zhongyao next to him learned the inside story and was also curious. Indeed, the review speed was really too fast.
"You ask me, who am I asking?" Hua Luogeng asked.
Regarding his master's rhetorical question, Yu Hua was silent: "..."
"We don't know about the speed of review. In short, Professor Weyl, Professor Neumann and Professor Lefshetz are currently on your side. The authority of the paper's results is guaranteed. I believe that cryptography will soon have earth-shaking changes."
Changes, next you have to study hard with Professor Zhao and prepare for the examination for government-funded students studying in the United States with Geng Geng Scholarship. I have received notice that the examination will be held around late August in Nanjing. Do you understand?" In view of the presence of Zhao Zhongyao
Because of this, Hua Luogeng did not talk about the deep secret content. He looked at Yu Hua and reminded him.
"Students understand." Yu Hua nodded, but did not inform the students studying in the United States under the Geng Geng Scholarship Program that the exam would be postponed.
"I'm leaving first. You are the first author of the thesis. Prepare for the academic lecture on July 8th. This is very important for your future academic career." Hua Luogeng gave Yu Hua his last instructions, looked at Zhao Zhongyao aside, and said slowly
.
This academic lecture is hosted by Tsinghua University, and will be attended by professors from the mathematics departments of top Chinese universities such as Yan University, Peking University, and Nankai University. The speaker is Yu Hua, the first author of the article, and the content is the asymmetric cryptography theory that is currently extremely popular.
The entire academic lecture, both in terms of specification and level, was considered to be of the highest quality.
Yu Hua nodded to express his understanding. He was very aware of the importance of this academic lecture to him.
"Professor Zhao, please take care of Yu Hua." Hua Luogeng didn't say much. He looked at Zhao Zhongyao next to him and said softly.
Zhao Zhongyao nodded and said: "Of course, Yu Hua is a very good assistant."
Hearing this, Hua Luogeng smiled, glanced at Yu Hua for the last time, turned and left the nuclear physics laboratory. He still had his own affairs to be busy with. Since he was the corresponding author, he had to attend a series of academic conferences and discussions.
"You boy, you are really good. I still underestimated your mathematical ability. When you were eighteen years old, you published a core article in a mathematics annual report. Even those foreign students couldn't do it. Come on." After Zhao Zhongyao watched Hua Luogeng leave,
Turning his head and looking at Yu Hua, there was a hint of emotion in his voice.
In terms of talent in physics, he considers himself number one, and in terms of talent in mathematics...
Zhao Zhongyao had to admit that even he was not as good as Yu Hua.
This core article in the Mathematics Annual Report is really shocking. From this moment on, the development of cryptography was changed by Yu Hua.
Yu Hua smiled at Zhao Zhongyao, said nothing, then returned to his seat and opened a handwritten letter from Solomon Lefshetz, the legendary editor-in-chief of the Annual Report of Mathematics.
