Li Qun looked at Huang Mingzhe anxiously. He did not expect that the president could now ask the Mathematics Annual to supplement it, and the school would directly send graduation certificates and recommend doctoral candidates.
Faced with this huge gap, Li Qun's mentality also changed greatly, from a relationship between classmates to a relationship between teachers and students.
Huang Mingzhe looked at Li Qun's paper, took out a red pen and quickly wrote in circles on it.
"Don't be so formal. There are not big problems with your paper. There are just some places that were cited inappropriately. I have corrected them for you. There is also the derivation process of the four-dimensional transformation. You can completely omit it here and quote it directly..."
Li Qun quickly recorded it in a notebook. More than an hour later, when he looked at the dense red circles and revision comments on the paper, he realized that he was still far behind.
"Thank you, President, for your guidance." Li Qun said respectfully.
"If your level has improved a lot, you can try to submit to the Quarterly Journal of Mathematics. Their journals can accept longer papers and are journals in the field of topology." Huang Mingzhe reminded.
Suddenly Li Qun was stunned, and he said with some embarrassment: "President, this first author..."
"It's enough for me to be the corresponding author. There is no need to be the first author." Huang Mingzhe refused directly: "Don't learn from those unhealthy tendencies. There must be a bottom line in doing things and being a human being."
Li Qun bowed gratefully: "Thank you very much for your teaching."
In fact, Huang Mingzhe could have occupied the first author and corresponding author positions and given Li Qun a second author, but he did not do so.
First of all, the person who completed this paper was Li Qun. Huang Mingzhe's job was similar to that of his doctoral supervisor, which was to give an idea and then correct the errors in Li Qun's paper.
Under normal circumstances, the PhD supervisor is the corresponding author, and if he wants to compete for the first author, it would be too ugly. The consequence of this is that the PhD supervisor and the student are at odds with each other. If they don't stab you in the future, it will already be a loss of face.
If Huang Mingzhe wants to form his own faction, he must naturally unite all the forces that can be united. This kind of digging his own grave must not be done.
With excitement, Li Qun went back to revise the paper and prepare for submission.
Wei Feng came over with a lot of questions, and after Huang Mingzhe communicated with him.
"Fengzi, I suggest you take the direction of plasma physics. My Institute of Physics in Haicheng County is also engaged in research in this area. I can see that your talent lies in this area." Huang Mingzhe suggested.
"Oh, the president also thinks that I am suitable for nuclear physics." Wei Feng asked in surprise. Obviously, Wei Feng himself also wanted to pursue the path of nuclear physics.
Huang Mingzhe nodded: "Nuclear physics is the future and the only way for humans to enter the sea of stars."
"Then I will study nuclear physics." Wei Feng said with determination, and then he asked with a smile: "President, you don't want to study mathematics all your life, do you?"
Huang Mingzhe put down the pen in his hand and said: "I plan to study mathematics while focusing on materials science. If mathematics is the basis of all theoretical science, then materials are the basis of all engineering science."
"Then let us encourage each other." Wei Feng reached out and gave Huang Mingzhe a high-five.
Snapped!
"Let's encourage you together."
…
Taking advantage of its first-come-first-served advantage, the Department of Mathematics at CUHK has recently concentrated a large number of its elite personnel in the field of topology, with a strong focus on topology.
The emergence of Huang Mingzhe's chaos topology theory directly gave many graduate students at home and abroad a field of water thesis.
In less than a week of the supplementary issue of the Annals of Mathematics, many people have published papers in this field. Of course, most of these papers are preprints.
In order to unify the strengths of the Department of Mathematics at CUHK, Huang Mingzhe and Zhu Xiping discussed and decided to establish the Institute of Truth Mathematics with CUHK's RMB 50 million funding from Thinking Society.
Of course, this organization is affiliated with Thinking Society, which is actually a combination of Huang Mingzhe and the Department of Mathematics of CUHK.
…
After Li Qun revised it, he showed it to Huang Mingzhe again before submitting it to the Quarterly Journal of Mathematics.
Unlike the domestic emphasis on the first author, foreign countries pay more attention to the corresponding author of a paper, because the corresponding author is the person who formulates the direction of the paper and is also the person in charge of the paper. If there is a problem with the paper, the corresponding author is usually contacted.
As for the name Huang Mingzhe of CUHK, if current mathematicians in the field of topology do not recognize him, he must have lived as a hermit in the mountains and forests.
When the editor of Mathematics Quarterly saw that the corresponding author of the paper was Huang Mingzhe, he immediately jumped in and sent the paper to reviewers for review in advance.
…
the other side.
Su Qingzhu and others also arrived at CUHK one after another with their troops.
December 5th.
Inside the Truth Mathematics Institute, representatives from the mathematics departments of Sun Yat-sen University, Sichuan University, Fudan University, Wuhan University, Nanjing University, Zhejiang University, Xiamen University, and major universities in Lingnan Province gathered here.
In fact, not many people came from each school, but CUHK had the most people because it was the host after all. Fudan had 11 people, and every other university had five or six people.
And none of the older generation came forward. They were all mathematicians of the young and middle generation, and many of them were in the field of topology.
Zhu Xiping delivered a speech at the exchange meeting on behalf of CUHK. His speeches were all cliche and official. Everyone focused their attention on the young man in the first row.
Bang bang bang...after a burst of applause.
Huang Mingzhe walked up to the podium with a smile and looked around the lecture theater. There were less than a hundred people present, but these were all young and middle-aged algebraic mathematicians from various universities in the south.
"I'm very happy to meet you all, and I'm very honored to speak here. We are all in the field of mathematics, so I won't use clichés." Huang Mingzhe paused and continued:
"The pursuit of truth is a lonely and long road at night. I am here today not to talk about factions or the past, but only about the future."
Bang bang bang... Su Qingzhu applauded while looking at the high-spirited young man in front of her.
"Mathematics is a pure thing. I don't want to get emotional involved. Next, I will talk about my future prospects for mathematics."
"First of all, the establishment of the edifice of new topology requires everyone's contribution. I am willing to work hand in hand with you. The Institute of Truth Mathematics is also willing to cooperate and communicate with you. Whether it is topology, algebraic geometry, or analysis, it is
Something we should focus on.”
"Someone once asked me why I didn't go to Princeton or Harvard UMass. My answer is that China should have Jixia Academy. What others have belongs to others, and what is yours is your own."
Zhu Xiping, Su Qingzhu, and Li Qun were all moved.
"Put down the struggle for power, put down selfishness and disdain, put down worldly fame, and calm down to learn, you will find a different world."
"The impetuous desire for quick success will only kill your talents. You are all focused on fighting for power and profit. Do you still have the mind to do knowledge? If you don't have the mind to do knowledge, then you will plagiarize and rob, and corrupt the academic atmosphere."
Many people were a little embarrassed or ashamed. Obviously Huang Mingzhe's words hurt them.
Many young people feel the same way about Huang Mingzhe's words.
"I am very sad to destroy the hard-won foundation for selfish reasons. I hope everyone can be an upright scholar instead of a sneaky academic."
"Some people may not like what I say, but I will not change my original intention. Let time witness everything! The future belongs to all of us!" Huang Mingzhe opened his hands and shouted loudly.
Bang bang bang... The palms of all the young people were red. At this moment, they felt a resonance with Huang Mingzhe.
