Senior Brother Chen left, waving his sleeves, not taking any clouds with him, but leaving behind his graduation thesis.

In fact, Qiao Yu originally wanted to talk to Senior Brother Chen about his troubles, such as Director Tian not respecting martial ethics and insisting that he, an undergraduate, do the project, but he gave up in the end.

Mainly, I always feel that Senior Brother Chen's mood is a little wrong.

As we all know, when a friend is emotionally unstable, it is best to only share happiness instead of worries. Since his happiness has been shared, don’t bother your senior brother with your worries.

But there was one thing. Regarding this paper, Qiao Yu still planned to seriously ask the master master opposite to help him.

After sending his senior brother away, Qiao Yu no longer felt sleepy. He simply logged into the Yanbei University Supercomputing Center in front of the computer and began to study the usage mechanism of the supercomputing center. Then he downloaded xShell and logged in remotely to the account given to him by Director Tian.

Sure enough, the account provided by Director Tian is privileged. It does not have many restrictions as mentioned in the user guide, and there is no need for him to consider the remaining machine time. The supercomputer account shows that there are already many tasks running at the same time.

Qiao Yu glanced at it, yes, they were all his papers. In order to shorten the time, the operator did Taposition and decomposed the verification task into dozens of small tasks to achieve parallel acceleration and make full use of the multi-core and multi-core supercomputing capabilities. Node resources.

In fact, Qiao Yu felt that there was no need to rush for time at all, but considering that Grandpa Shi also arranged for someone to verify it, could this be to prove that the supercomputing center of Yanbei University is faster than the supercomputing center of Huaqing University?

Qiao Yu thinks this is possible. After all, sometimes men's desire to win is so inexplicable.

Really, when he was in elementary school, he had two male classmates in the same class. During recess, they would compete with each other in the toilet to see who could pull out more things...

He happened to have diarrhea that day and heard about it... Qian Qiaoyu even thought about it for several days, but he still didn't understand what there was to be proud of even if he won. As long as there was a competition to see who could pee farther, he could figure it out.

Although Director Tian and Grandpa Shi are older, a man will remain a boy until he dies, but who can say the best about a man's determination to win?

As if today was such a good opportunity to break the ice, he was too embarrassed to go out and tell people what Director Tian had talked about with Mr. Yuan... He could only say that the ice-breaking journey still had a long way to go.

However, helping Senior Brother Chen go to Grandpa Senior for advice on the paper might also help ease the relationship between the two parties.

At this moment, Qiao Yu even felt like a big parent, worrying about everyone around him. However, the people around him not only didn't understand him, but also tried desperately to add more burdens to him. Hey... why would the teacher bother the students?

With a sigh, Qiao Yu, who was too lazy to study supercomputing anymore, went back to bed, took off his shoes, leaned on the bed and opened the book beside the bed. He was a little sleepy, so he read a foreign advanced mathematics textbook to refresh himself.

At around eight o'clock in the evening the next day, Qiao Yu, who was reading a book, received a call from Director Tian, ​​which confirmed some of his guesses. Because after the call was connected, Director Tian's first words were: "Mr. Yuan is here to verify." Is it the result?"

Qiao Yu answered truthfully: "Grandpa Shi hasn't replied to me yet, maybe not yet, right?"

"Oh, then let me tell you good news. The curves in our LMFDB database have basically been run out, and the accuracy rate so far is 100%." ​​Qiao Yu took a deep breath and asked, "It means my thesis

Can it be published directly?"

"Yes! I thought there would be a certain error. It may be necessary to conduct in-depth investigation of the mismatch to find out whether it is due to specific boundary conditions, calculation errors, or limitations of the formula itself.

In this case, the paper may still need to discuss these extreme situations, special cases, or potential possibilities, and correct these errors, but it seems that it is not necessary now. Qiao Yu, you have done a good job!"

Qiao Yu could tell that Director Tian's tone was more exciting than yesterday.

I probably understand. It seems that when I checked the paper yesterday, my supervisor didn't have much confidence that his paper could pass the supercomputing test perfectly... Otherwise, he wouldn't be so excited today.

"Thank you, Director Tian. The main thing is that your guidance is good." Qiao Yu casually gave me a free rainbow hat.

"Don't say this again. This is your work. I have never given you any guidance. By the way, do you know how to use Ann.ofMath's submission system? Qiao Yu immediately replied: "Ah? I haven't used it.

.The last time I submitted an article, Teacher Xue helped me do it. Otherwise, you should help me submit it this time."

"Well, I will help you submit the manuscript later. But you still have to learn these things. I will ask a senior to teach you later. Are you sure you want to write your mother's name on the second work? Scientific research is a very serious matter, I

My suggestion is to only write your name. But this is a paper you completed independently, and I will respect your opinion."

Qiao Yu thought for a while and asked: "Well, Director Tian, ​​my mother did wake me up when I couldn't find my direction. In this case, writing her name is not considered academic misconduct, right?"

"Well, not really. But strictly speaking, her contribution to this paper is very limited. Generally, the author will list her as acknowledgments in this case. And when submitting the paper, the specific details of each author must be clearly marked.

Contribution, especially to this paper of yours.”

Soon Qiao Yu asked a second question: "These are all small things. Director Tian, ​​my mother's grades were very good before. Because she was pregnant with me, she did not take the college entrance examination, which has always been a pity. So she planned to review the two

, three years, and then take the college entrance examination as a social worker. If I have this paper, will my chance of passing the exam be higher?"

"I'm not very familiar with admissions. I don't know whether social candidates are included in the independent admissions process of colleges and universities. If possible, it would certainly be beneficial to have a second copy of such an essay. It is possible to admit students without exception, but only

Only for mathematics majors."

Qiao Yu immediately said: "That must be added. To be honest, my mother used to have very good math scores, ranking either first or second in the school. And now she is proficient in English, Japanese, and Korean."

"Okay, then I can only mark it as an independent researcher. However, in view of the requirements of Ann.ofMath and the seriousness of academic papers, I will explain in detail when submitting the manuscript that the contribution of the second author is not significant. According to your statement , at most it just provides an idea.”

Qiao Yu replied: "No problem, Director Tian, ​​it doesn't matter. "Okay, I'll hang up then. I'll let you know if there's any news."

"Okay, Director Tian."

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Yu looked at the paper left by Senior Brother Chen lying on his desk, feeling very good.

The results are out. I'm going to Huaqing tomorrow. Senior Master should be in a good mood, right? If you beg him like this, your chances of success will be higher. Senior Brother Chen is really lucky...

Qiao Yu thought to himself.

The next day, Qiao Yu made an appointment with Grandpa Shi in the afternoon of the next day. There was no way. Under normal circumstances, the big guys didn't have time in the morning. Only Qiao Yu could make time at any time, so it could only be He sacrifices his own time to take advantage of other people's time.

When the appointed time came, Qiao Yu casually put Brother Chen's thesis into his bag and went out. Now he was very familiar with the road from Yanbei University to Huaqing Qiuzhai. Even the time was stuck just right. As long as there are no accidents, if he walks at a normal pace, he can reach Qiuzhai, the old man's office, in twenty-five minutes. The time can be controlled just right.

I set off at 1:35 in the afternoon and knocked on the door of Grandpa Shi's office at 2 o'clock on time.

"Grandpa, I'm coming!" "Come in."

He walked into Yuan Zhengxin's office, walked to his small desk, put his schoolbag up, and said excitedly: "Grandpa, let me tell you good news. Yesterday, my supervisor called me and said that the verification results of the thesis have come out. , 100%! The paper can be sent directly!"

"Oh? Have you finished the verification?" The old man frowned his eyebrows slightly at first, but then quickly relaxed and asked slightly excitedly: "Are you 100% sure?"

"Yes, last night around eight o'clock, Director Tian called me and told me that he would directly help me submit the manuscript to the Ann. of Math. Master, and maybe I would also be able to send a paper. It’s in the top journal of mathematics.”

It was obvious that Qiao Yu's happy mood was very contagious, and a smile appeared on the old man's serious face.

But soon Yuan Zhengxin, who is rigorous by nature, picked up the phone and said: "Wait a minute, let me ask about the verification situation here first. Well, as expected, there is no trust between them, but Qiao Yu didn't say anything. Instead, he waited quietly by the side.

"Hey, have the verification results of the paper the day before yesterday come out? ...Not yet? Why? ...I know there are millions of pieces of data in the library, but Yanbei University has already completed the verification...Forget it Okay, what’s the result now? I’ll check it out right away... Well, okay..."

A few minutes later, Yuan Zhengxin hung up the phone, looked at Qiao Yu and said kindly: "Our data has only been verified at 67% for the time being, but the current accuracy is indeed 100%. Not bad, really good!"

Qiao Yu smiled and replied: "I saw it the day before yesterday. When the instructor verified the results, it was directly broken down into more than 20 tasks to be verified at the same time. That's why it is faster there. It must be related to the performance of the supercomputing center. Not big."

Well, Mr. Yuan, who was originally quite excited and happy, frowned subconsciously after hearing these words, but immediately opened them again and said with a smile: "Well, so everything must be done carefully to do it well. You Same thing!"

"Don't worry, Grandpa, I will definitely take care of you!"

After saying that, Qiao Yu took the opportunity to take out Brother Chen's paper from his bag and handed it to the old man in front of him: "Well, grandpa, one of my senior brothers has been very diligent, but he has been unable to pass the paper. I'm at my wits' end, and I'd like to ask you to help him."

Yuan Zhengxin subconsciously took the paper, glanced at Qiao Yu, and said, "Your senior brother?"

"Yes, my senior brother helps me a lot. You don't know, before I lived in that building, there was no water heater, but my senior brother helped me install one. Now I can use hot water to wash my face in the morning. Come on!" Qiao Yu blew the wind seriously.

Yuan Zhengxin shook his head and said: "I originally planned to discuss the details of your paper with you today, but ended up giving me a task? Now I have to help your supervisor revise the paper?"

Qiao Yu stood directly next to the old man: "Help, grandpa, you don't know, senior brother is really going crazy. Besides, after my paper is published, there will be more opportunities for discussion! Then you can still Are you not allowed to hold a special academic conference or something like that for me here in Huaqing?

When the time comes to invite me to give a one-hour report, you will sit by and listen, so that you can have a fresh feeling. Now that we have finished talking, it will be meaningless for you to sit by and listen by then! Are you right?"

Yuan Zhengxin smiled, stretched out a finger and pointed at the little guy in front of him, and said: "Okay! That's it. When your paper is published, grandpa will hold a glorious party for you in Huaqing. Special academic report meeting.

Qiao Yu immediately hit the snake and followed it with the stick, and immediately said: "Thank you, grandpa, I will read the paper at your place today. Hey, you don't know, my tutor doesn't follow martial arts ethics and started assigning tasks to me. "

"Oh, what topic?" the old man asked.

Qiao Yu said loudly: "I originally wanted to choose the Riemann Hypothesis, but my instructor rejected it. He asked me to study the random prime number generation model first and explore the effectiveness of the model in predicting the distribution of prime numbers. Alas..."

As expected, one sentence made the old gentleman angry.

"Are you kidding! Riemann Hypothesis? It's not that you are not qualified to try this proposition, but you dare to think about Riemann Hypothesis just after you learned it? Riemann Hypothesis is what you want to do alone? Analytical number theory, algebraic number theory, complex number theory Analysis, Fourier analysis, function analysis, probability theory of stochastic processes, spectral geometry......

Wait until you have completed all these basic mathematical knowledge. No, it is not enough. You have to be proficient enough before you are qualified to think about it! Not to mention, do you really think that you are still relying on your personal ability to deal with such a big topic now? Don't So naive!

Let me tell you, research on problems such as the Riemann Hypothesis and the N-S equation has begun to turn to large team cooperation! As far as I know, there are currently three large research teams in the world trying to overcome this problem.

Mathematics today is different from decades ago. The latest research on the Riemann Hypothesis has even begun to involve mathematical physics. By studying the connection between quantum systems and classical chaotic systems, we can re-examine and understand the Riemann zeta function.

zero point.

Not to mention the development of computational mathematics. Your achievements need to be verified by numerical analysis and calculation tools, right? Just like your paper this time! Studying the Riemann Hypothesis also requires high-precision calculations to confirm that the prime numbers are on the critical line!

Your instructor is right about this! He didn't let you be willful and waste time! You must listen to him! Start small. If you are really interested in prime numbers, the proposition he chose for you is not bad. Wait until you find it.

The starting point is that when you grow in the future, you can bring a team to do this proposition.

Be pragmatic, you must be pragmatic! Don’t think you can do anything after making some achievements! Compared with the great mathematicians in the world, you are still far behind. Your only advantage is that you are young. Do you understand?”

Qiao Yu was not annoyed at all by the old man. It was even expected.

If you want to be a savior, you have to endure a little grievance.

Especially Qiao Yu felt that the effect of his words was very good.

Didn't the old man just confirm that what Director Tian said was right? Before the change, I probably wouldn't have dared to think about it, right?

If you want to change some deep-rooted thoughts and concepts, don't you have to rely on such hard work and grind it out bit by bit?

So Qiao Yu immediately gave up and replied honestly: "Oh, you are right, I will change it. I will study the random prime number model carefully first."

The old man also softened his tone and said: "Don't think that this proposition is very simple. It is a very challenging open mathematical proposition, and the difficulty depends on the specific goals you have set for yourself, the technical depth and whether you can get the results that meet your expectations.

result.

Moreover, this topic combines number theory, probability theory, random processes, statistics and computers. Tian Yanzhen chose this topic very smartly. This is to allow you to conduct targeted learning, and finally test the quality of your learning through your results.

To build a similar model, you have to consider many things, such as time complexity, randomness and quality. In the process, you will come into contact with many previous methodologies for studying the Riemann Hypothesis, Bioeradocet's sieve method, and Pei's sieve method.
