Chapter 21 Alma mater reaction

"Shock! The nursery rhyme author actually made such a sensation"

   "Are all the writers of nursery rhymes bigwigs?" "

   "Goldbach's conjecture was actually proved by the author of children's songs! "

   "The Nobel Prize in Mathematics has been locked in advance, and the winner is..."

  《This time, it’s the nationality of the country! "

  After a day of fermentation, especially with the successive news coming from the other side of the ocean, it was immediately fried.

  Even if the mathematics awards are too far away from ordinary people, he is known as the Nobel of mathematics after all, and he is also the first Chinese of his own nationality.

   Naturally, it can continue to dominate the rankings for a period of time.

   Even Xue Chuan, who is extremely stubborn, can only jump out and post an explanation at this time

"What I object to is that Master Yi did not do a good job. It is obvious to all that this has affected the image of the Chinese on a certain website. This will not disappear because of some academic achievements! Now that you have a halo body protection, people will naturally not see it. negative impact of this.

   "Since you have misunderstood me, I will not reply to this question anymore."

  It is equivalent to unilaterally declaring victory and then playing dead.

   But it turned out that just after Xue Chuan’s explanation came out here, a massive anti-‘academic discrimination’ movement suddenly started in the beautiful country.

   "Science", "Nature", and "Cell", the three famous magazines, all announced that they would suspend publication for one issue.

  Journals such as "The Lancet", "Journal of Cancer for Clinicians", "Journal of the Chinese Academy of Fine Arts" also announced the suspension of publication for one issue to support this event.

  One scientific researcher after another came out to tell their experiences, and various scholars of Asian, African, and Hispanic origin came out to speak out. It seems that they were afraid to speak out in the dark before, but now they dare to come out.

   At this time, some "insiders" anonymously disclosed a lot of inside information to the BBC and other media.

Take the Beautiful Country Association for the Advancement of Science as an example. Two-thirds of the authors and reviewers are white, while blacks, Latinos, and aboriginals combined are less than 10%. Together, that can account for about a quarter.

  Scholars still value referrals if they want to publish academic achievements in top journals.

  Obviously, whites have an advantage in this regard, and it may be more difficult for other ethnic groups to enter the academic circle, and their achievements are more difficult to be noticed, which will result in a lack of diversity in the academic world.

  Because of the threshold and barriers of the academic world itself, it was difficult for some political correctness to break through in the past, but this time after Wang Yi poked a hole from the inside, it immediately opened up a new battlefield.

  All kinds of "correctness" that have captured all walks of life have begun to launch a fierce attack on the high ground of the academic circle.

   Now it’s not just about racial discrimination, some people have found that the proportion of female academic workers’ achievements is not high!

  This must be due to stereotyping of women!

  If there is no Wang Yi’s post, you can still argue that academic achievements are academic achievements, but there is indeed a person whose manuscript was rejected due to discrimination, who can directly dispel this defense.

  Is that because a large number of female scholars rejected manuscripts because of discrimination?

  Did you give up your scientific research career because of the rejection of the manuscript?

  For a while, this offensive instantly detonated the entire Western media, and Wall Street was also shaken violently.

  Wang Yi's particular post was reposted and commented frantically, as if it was a bright light piercing the darkness.

  The successive bursts of news made Xue Chuan's face swollen, but fortunately, he had already posted 'no reply', and just pretended to be dead and closed the comment, as if the world was peaceful and nothing happened.

  Even Wang Yi himself was a little surprised. Although he originally used the topic of political correctness to stir things up, there must be a behind-the-scenes pusher behind such a big disturbance.

  But it doesn't matter, everyone wins, and if the interests are the same, then they are allies...

  …

   Academy of Sciences, School of Mathematical Sciences.

  The Academy of Sciences itself is a relatively 'low-key' school, but no matter how 'low-key' it is, it can't hide its own horror.

  As far as the School of Mathematics is concerned, there is an academician and a super luxurious lineup of 24 professors, and the number of associate professors is less than half of that of professors.

  After learning that the person who proved the 'Goldbach Conjecture' turned out to be a student who graduated from the Academy of Sciences, their entire School of Mathematical Sciences was dumbfounded.

what's going on? Why don't we know!

  No one in the alumni group said anything? Originally, this kind of proof is usually normal operation when news spreads from the alumni group first, so why was it so caught off guard?

  At the beginning, they were still lamenting that there was a fierce person in the domestic mathematics circle, but they didn't know who it was yet.

   It turned out that the fierce man was actually taught by us?

   "Check, which one is it!"

   Academician Li rolled up his sleeves, furious, and gave the order to die.

   But just after he finished speaking, he was directly dismantled.

   "Oh, I found it, it's not from our college, it's an undergraduate graduate from the School of Computer Science and Technology next door..."

   For a while, the scene couldn't help being silent.

  At the internal meeting of the Faculty of Mathematical Sciences, there are more professors than associate professors in the luxurious lineup, all the bosses look at me and I look at you, and I don’t know how to describe my mood at this time.

  Among them are some professors of applied mathematics. It is true that the research direction is indeed related to computers. This is also one of the relatively popular directions in mathematics at present.

  Can Goldbach's conjecture, a conjecture of pure number theory, be proved by undergraduates from the School of Computer Science next door?

  Where is our face facing!

   "I'll let him read my..."

  An old professor in his fifties was interrupted by Academician Li just as he opened his mouth

   "Take it easy!"

  Sigh after interruption

   "With this ability, if he really wanted it, he wouldn't read it directly? Now that it's proven, don't talk about reading it. A place like Princeton may send him a professor invitation."

  Although Princeton University is also private, it has a very strong academic atmosphere, which is a bit opposite to that of the University of Pennsylvania.

  The most profitable business schools, medical schools, and law schools have always been disorganized and arrogant.

  It can prove Goldbach's conjecture. It is very normal for Princeton to directly hire a professor. Do you still want to accept someone as a student? Think peaches too!

  In fact, they have also checked and calculated the proof process, with unconstrained ideas and tricky angles. The whole process is smooth and smooth, and some mathematical tools in the proof process alone are extremely useful.

   "Then, we also invite?"

   "Take a special passage?"

   "For this kind of award, a report will be made very quickly. It's a special event!"

   "..."

  The Academy of Sciences is a typical example of being trusted by its superiors, and it also has the right to independently review professional titles!

  Although the review has an extremely cumbersome process and requires an application in person, there is still a high probability of being approved for special reports.

   After all, it is a worldwide problem, and it is blank in China!

   However, the speed and efficiency are definitely not as good as those of private companies, but this road and direction are feasible.

   "Let's find a way to contact him and ask for his opinion. I always think it's not useful if we discuss it."

   Academician Li took off his glasses and wiped them.

  The little guy who doesn't care about his degree may do things with a strong purpose, and it may not be what they want...

  ——

   Two updates completed...

  PS: In reality, there are three universities under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, "Chinese University of Science and Technology", "National University of Science and Technology" and "Shanghai University of Science and Technology". Among them, "National University of Science and Technology" only started accepting undergraduates in 12 years, but the parallel world does not reflect reality, and there is no checkmark~

  Finally ask for follow-up on Tuesday!

   It is very important to read new books, please support~

   This chapter has been revised
