Chapter 118 Everyone was shocked

The news that Xu Yuan passed the graduation defense and went straight to a doctorate was announced. The school's official forum was immediately flooded with comments and sparked heated discussions among students. No one expected that so many academic leaders in the field of mathematics came for Xu Yuan.

The students who were previously speculated to be the judges of doctoral dissertation defenses were also dumbfounded when they saw the announcement from the School of Mathematical Sciences.

So many mathematics professors were specially invited to attend the graduation defense of an undergraduate student. This is the only case among so many classes of students in the Department of Mathematics.

It can be said that they are all worthy of being written into the school history.

Although Xu Yuan proved the Carmichael number problem as soon as he entered school, he can indeed be called a mathematical genius.

But this incident still left everyone confused. They were surprised that Xu Yuan was able to complete the credits so quickly and graduate early, and they wanted to know what kind of graduation thesis could be so highly valued. As a result, most of the posts on the forum in recent days were related to Xu Yuan.

"It turns out to be Xu Yuan. This graduation defense is so impressive."

"He has completed all the credits in his sophomore year, and also wrote his graduation thesis and passed the defense by an expert panel. This kind of genius is simply ruthless."

"Someone said earlier that I was going to be a judge for a doctoral dissertation. I was so scared that I took out my thesis and studied it overnight."

"I may envy this kind of appearance, but I won't accept it anyway."

"Does anyone know what Xu Shen's graduation thesis is about? I saw those professors at noon and they seemed very excited."

"No matter how impressive it is, it's just a graduation thesis. Can he publish another one in the Annals of Mathematics?"

……

This time, the doubts in everyone’s mind did not last long. A few days later, the latest issue of the Annals of Mathematics was officially published, and the School of Mathematical Sciences also released the good news within the school as soon as possible.

[Xu Yuan, a student from our college, published a paper in the top mathematics journal "Annals of Mathematics"]

"The recently published 2005 issue 2 of the Annals of Mathematics published an academic paper by our student Xu Yuan entitled "Proof of Global Smoothness of Monge-Ampere Equation under Natural Boundary Conditions."

"Congratulations."

……

As soon as the news was announced, it was posted on the school forum and it was like a bomb thrown into a deep pool, quickly causing a huge uproar in the forum.

It was not until this time that everyone realized that Xu Yuan's graduation thesis was actually included in the Annals of Mathematics.

No wonder the Department of Mathematics invited so many mathematics professors to serve as judges.

However, while feeling excited and shocked, the senior was in tears, after all, Xu Yuan had raised his graduation thesis to such a high level in a short time.

The pressure of defending the thesis will be doubled in the future.

Of course, more people are excited and proud of Xu Yuan's achievements.

After all, as a student of Qinghua, I feel proud to see such talented people emerge in our school, both inside and outside the school. This once again proves the value of Qinghua.

Two papers published in Annals of Mathematics during his undergraduate studies completely established Xu Yuan's title as the God of Mathematics.

Even senior students who graduated in the past couldn't help but call him "Mr. Xu" in their posts on the forum.

"We finally solved the case today. It's normal for our graduation thesis to be published in a top mathematics journal like the Annals of Mathematics. It would be normal for us to have more professors as reviewers."

"I've never seen a graduation thesis so impressive. I have to call him God Xu."

"Taking a yearbook paper as a graduation thesis is too extravagant."

"Fuck!"

"It's only been three years since graduation, and you've already reached this level?"

"I graduated early from undergraduate studies with two annual papers in hand, so I can only say that I deserve to go straight to a Ph.D."

"You thought it was an ordinary undergraduate thesis defense, but it was actually a top-level academic conference."

"I used to see some people bragging about Terence Tao, saying he was the Mozart of mathematics. Now it seems that our school's God Xu is just as good."

……

"The graduation thesis was published in the Annals of Mathematics. Could it be that Master Xu had already decided on the direction of the graduation thesis..."

Inside the boys' dormitory, Zhang Jundong looked at the contents of the forum and felt a mixture of surprise and doubt.

He remembered that when he met Xu Yuan in the library before, the other party told him that the topic of his graduation thesis had not yet been decided.

In such a short period of time, Xu Yuan not only completed his graduation thesis, but also achieved the quality required to be included in the Annals of Mathematics.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt extremely stressed. Forget about writing a thesis that could be published in a journal. He didn't even have a clue about the topic.

In addition, he did not think that Xu Yuan had deliberately concealed the matter before, which meant that Xu Yuan had indeed not decided on the topic at that time.

His efficiency and mathematical talent are truly terrifying and enviable.

"So this is God Xu's strength. There is no one comparable to him among all the major universities in the country!"

The thought stayed here as he sighed again, and then he was stimulated and his fighting spirit was inevitably boosted.

After saying this, he decisively closed the forum page and continued to work hard on selecting a topic for his graduation thesis.

Xu Yuan has had two consecutive papers included in the Annals of Mathematics, and his papers span from number theory, which is the favorite of amateur scientists, to partial differential equations. This kind of talent can be seen as the hope for the future of Chinese mathematics.

Perhaps one day in the future, Xu Yuan will be able to win all the international mathematics awards as a native Chinese.

To make up for the regrets of Chinese mathematics community for many years.

Therefore, in this case, Xu Yuan's popularity is not limited to the Qinghua School.

Almost on the same day when the good news was announced, Youth Daily, Yanjing Daily, Huaxin News Agency and other media outlets reported on it. Even Luyang Daily seized the opportunity and congratulated the students from their hometown on their excellent results.

"Recently, students from the Department of Mathematics at Qinghua University have achieved another success by successfully solving the problem of the overall smoothness of the solution to the Monge-Ampere equation in partial differential equations!"

"After a year, the paper was included in the Annals of Mathematics again, taking you into the mathematical path of the genius Xu Yuan."

"Xu Yuan, a student from my hometown, published a paper in the Annals of Mathematics. He actually came from a high school in a county town like this."

Most people's understanding of mathematics is limited to exams and competitions, and they never think about academic research when letting their children study. After all, various international mathematics awards are won by overseas.

After seeing such reports in the news, I became more curious and interested in Xu Yuan.

I didn’t know that learning mathematics could reach this level.

However, apart from those who are full of expectations for Xu Yuan and believe that he has the potential to promote the development of the domestic mathematics community, some people are not very optimistic.

I think that although this level of talent is great, it is still not as good as those mathematical geniuses overseas.

For example, Terence Tao, the Mozart of mathematics, who achieved research results in many mathematical fields and became a professor at an early age.

Compared with the diverse user comments online, a girls' dormitory at Qinghua University is filled with laughter at this moment.

"Yu Ran, come quickly."

Yu Ruilan sat on the hammock she had specially arranged, pointing at the content on the computer screen in front of her and hurriedly calling Chen Yuran, as if she had discovered something very surprising.

Upon hearing this, Xue Mengjie was the first to react. She walked to Yu Ruilan in her slippers and leaned over to look at the screen.

Then, with eyes wide open and a look of shock on her face, she said, "Yu Ran, come here quickly, your boyfriend is on the news!"

Chen Yuran was sitting at her desk reviewing. Since she had already decided to take the postgraduate entrance examination, she had to take action. She also wanted to stay with Xu Yuan in school for a few more years.

She had known about Xu Yuan's graduation thesis and submission to the Annals of Mathematics for a long time.

Even though I hadn't read the campus forums or read the news in the past two days, seeing the expressions of Yu Ruilan and Xue Mengjie, I could basically guess what was going on.

However, she stopped what she was doing for the moment, turned around and walked towards her two roommates.

It is worth mentioning that when Xue Mengjie directly mentioned her boyfriend Chen Yuran, she did not blush like before. It may be that she had heard her roommates talk about it too much and had become desensitized and had no reaction.

As soon as he stepped up to Yu Ruilan's side, he heard the other person's voice mixed with surprise and surprise.

"It's okay that he graduated so soon, but he was able to publish his graduation thesis in the Mathematics Yearbook. He doesn't look like a sophomore at all."

"So this is what it means to be a true academic genius. Compared with Xu Yuanyi, those top students in my high school class are simply weaklings." Xue Mengjie echoed Yu Ruilan's words.

As soon as she finished speaking, another short-haired girl in the dormitory took over the conversation, with a self-deprecating tone in her voice.

"Mengjie, look at what you said. In our high school class, we are all top students."

Upon hearing this, Xue Mengjie's face was immediately filled with embarrassment.

If you think about it carefully, there is indeed something wrong with this statement. Anyone who can be admitted to Qinghua University must be the top student in the high school class.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to appear here.

At this time, Yu Ruilan and Xue Mengjie also noticed the very calm expression on Chen Yuran's face.

I couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"Yu Ran, why aren't you surprised at all? Xu Yuan is really popular this time."

As soon as Yu Ruilan said this, Xue Mengjie suddenly thought of something and asked, "Yu Ran, have you known about this for a long time?"

"Ah."

Chen Yuran nodded: "I was next to Xu Yuan when he submitted his manuscript."

Hearing this, Yu Ruilan immediately stood up and faced Chen Yuran, pretending to be angry and said:

"Okay."

"You know not to tell us."

"This is a typical case of forgetting about your roommates after you have a boyfriend."

Chen Yuran knew Yu Ruilan's temper and knew that they would definitely not get angry over such a small matter.

So he immediately raised his head to meet the other person's gaze, and replied very seriously with a sly smile on his lips.

"Even if I tell you the news in advance, no one will really believe it."

Upon hearing this, Xue Mengjie's expression froze for a moment, and then she belatedly uttered three words.

"It really is."

If I told them before the news was announced, they would probably just think it was a joke by Chen Yuran to show off her boyfriend, and they would not believe in their hearts that someone could do such a thing.

After all, it is not strange to graduate ahead of schedule after completing the credits, but the difficulty of publishing the graduation thesis in the Annals of Mathematics is daunting just by thinking about it.

Although the few of them no longer mentioned this matter in the following time, they couldn't help but feel envious of Chen Yuran in their hearts.

He has shown such high talent in his sophomore year, so his future achievements in academic research will definitely not be low.

While people in China were reveling in joy, mathematics departments at overseas universities had already obtained the latest issue of the Annals of Mathematics and were checking the latest academic research results in the mathematics community as usual.
