Research starts with PhD students

Chapter 95 How could I not know the students I teach!

Sign in hall.

Those who were talking about Zhang Shuo fell silent when they saw Jiang Weizhi and his group coming, especially when they saw Zhou Kaijun walking beside Jiang Weizhi.

They all looked over.

There was curiosity, amusement, and gloating in his eyes...

The "paper plagiarism" incident at Donggang University has become a hot topic in public opinion, and the ups and downs of the matter have become known to the entire network.

Some people may not care and just glance at the news and move on, but people in the mathematics circle are definitely not among them.

People in every circle will care about major events happening in their circle.

Plagiarism is something that everyone in the mathematics community knows about.

They naturally also knew the protagonists of the incident, Zhang Shuo, Huang Hui and Zhou Kaijun. As Zhang Shuo's mentor, Zhou Kaijun stood on the opposite side of Zhang Shuo together with Huang Hui.

In this incident, Huang Hui attracted a lot of criticism and was labeled as "academic Daji", but the mathematics circle focused on Zhou Kaijun because Huang Hui was just a small figure.

A female doctoral student, who cares?

Zhou Kaijun is a scholar at the level of Young Elite Scientists and carries many labels in the field of mathematics. He is a person worthy of attention in the mathematics circle.

Zhou Kaijun felt the gazes of others.

He could only frown and pretend not to see it, but he couldn't help but stand behind Jiang Weizi, as if he could avoid everyone's gaze in this way.

Jiang Weizheng confirmed Zhang Shuo's identity. He nodded slightly, regained his composure, and put a smile on his face again.

He continued walking forward and continued greeting people he knew, as if nothing had happened.

Inadvertently, Jiang Weizhi walked to Zhang Shuo's position, stopped, and said with a smile, "You are Professor Zhang Shuo, right?"

"Hello."

Zhang Shuo nodded slightly.

"I read your paper published in New Advances in Mathematics. It's very interesting!"

Jiang Weizhi exclaimed, and then said, "We have a team in our mathematics center that specializes in computer numerical simulation of applied equations, mainly focusing on nonlinear equations. We may have the opportunity to work together in the future."

Zhang Shuo asked, "What type of nonlinear equation is it?"

“There are several types.”

Jiang Weizhi said, "The main direction now is to describe the NS equations for incompressible fluids. The computer simulation of the NS equations is very difficult, but there has been some progress in the research."

Zhang Shuo nodded after thinking about it.

Jiang Weizhi exchanged a few words with Zhang Shuo, and then started chatting with Peng Ruochuan again. Luo Yongjun reminded him, "That's Jiang Weizhi, you should know him, right?"

"I've seen it."

Jiang Weizheng was the dean of the School of Mathematics at Donggang University, so I naturally have an impression of him in my memory.

"He seems to be Zhou Kaijun's teacher." Luo Yongjun added, "I don't know the details, but Zhou Kaijun has been following him..."

Zhang Shuo nodded indifferently.

They walked out of the sign-in area together, and Luo Yongjun and Sun Xingli kept saying, "Don't worry about it, it's all in the past, just pretend you didn't see it."

"Zhou Kaijun is not a good guy, just ignore him."

"You may not have noticed the way many people looked at Zhou Kaijun just now. He was able to stay there. He is really thick-skinned."

“I never expected that he would come to attend the Mathematical Society meeting.”

Zhang Shuo smiled and shook his head, saying to the two of them, "Don't worry, I don't care at all."

He really doesn't care.

What’s the big deal about coming to a mathematics conference and meeting Zhou Kaijun?

They will definitely become strangers and will never have any intersection again.

……

Zhou Kaijun's mood was much more complicated. When he saw Zhang Shuo again, he felt sighs and disbelief.

He had never imagined that one of his graduate students would be so outstanding.

In the first year of doctoral study, you can publish papers in the four major mathematics journals. And not just one, but three in total, two of which are about computational mathematics and one is a pure mathematics argument.

Each of the three papers has a great influence.

Even for the top mathematicians, it is difficult to publish three papers in the four major journals in one year.

What is even more incredible is that Zhang Shuo’s most outstanding achievement is not his mathematical research, but his achievements in algorithms. His algorithm research in the field of high-energy physics has been widely recognized in the international physics community.

Many people have called Zhang Shuo an 'algorithm genius'.

Zhou Kaijun was not surprised to see Zhang Shuo. He knew that Zhang Shuo had won the Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Award and would definitely come to attend the mathematics conference.

This is not some gossip, but a direct judgment.

The selection of awards in the field of mathematics is relatively fair. The Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Award is awarded to outstanding doctoral and master's theses.

Zhang Shuo's two computational mathematics papers published in "New Advances in Mathematics" were enough to win international awards in the field of "applied mathematics".

In comparison, other research papers are not competitive at all.

Therefore, Zhang Shuo will definitely win the award, will definitely come to attend the mathematics conference, and it is inevitable that the two will meet.

Zhou Kaijun didn't expect the meeting to be so awkward. It was not in the lecture hall, nor was it just passing by each other on the street, but at the sign-in area where there was a crowd of people.

Many people looked towards him.

They didn't say anything, but their eyes expressed their meaning very clearly.

It was sarcasm, amusement, and even gloating.

Zhou Kaijun kept smiling, as if nothing had happened, and followed Jiang Weizi along the way, greeting and chatting with people he knew.

He didn't know how he persisted.

Eyes can kill!
He felt it.

When thinking of Zhang Shuo, Zhou Kaijun still felt incredible.

Zhang Shuo was his graduate student, and he thought he had some understanding of Zhang Shuo's mathematical level. How could there be such a big difference and so much research completed in just one year?
After leaving the check-in area, Zhou Kaijun said to Jiang Weizhi, "Until now, I still don't believe it."

"I have been with him for two years. I don't have much contact with him, but I have explained some problems to him and I have an understanding of his level."

"Unless he is a genius like Peter Scholz..."

Peter Scholz is a recognized super genius in the international mathematics community. Before the age of 20, he could only be described as "relatively excellent" and won a gold medal in the Mathematical Olympiad.

At that time, he was already 20 years old.

A 20-year-old Olympic gold medalist is nothing in the top mathematics circle.

At the age of 21, Scholz entered the University of Bonn and began his "cheating" career.

In one and a half years, I completed all undergraduate courses; in one year, I obtained a master's degree from the University of Bonn; and in one year, I obtained a doctorate from the University of Bonn.

Five years later, Scholz, who was less than 30 years old, had been elected a member of the German Academy of Sciences, won the Fields Medal, and was appointed director of the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics.

Peter Scholz's leaps and bounds of growth seem so incredible.

Zhou Kaijun used Scholz as an example to illustrate his feelings. Jiang Weizhi was also surprised. He said, "Maybe he is a genius like Scholz."

"If you are really a genius, the pressure is huge."

He said shaking his head.

There is also competition in the academic circle. In the field of mathematics, the Donggang Mathematics Center has always been the "Mathematical Pearl of the South".

Who would have thought that the Institute of Advanced Mathematics of Soochow University would suddenly rise?
In just one year, he published several papers in the four major mathematics journals, and his top mathematical achievements have surpassed those of the Donggang Mathematical Center.

This makes the Donggang Mathematics Center very embarrassed. They have so much resource support, have discovered so many talents, and built so many professional academic teams, but in terms of top mathematical achievements, they are still not as good as a university's "on-campus mathematics institution"?
"I still don't believe it."

Zhou Kaijun didn't know what Jiang Weizhi was thinking, so he continued, "I'm the student I teach, how could I not know?"

“He may be an algorithm genius, but mathematically…”

He thought carefully and suddenly said, "Maybe Luo Yongjun? He is his mentor, who seems to be quite famous. Together they completed the boundary extension of the Monge-Ampere equation."

"Maybe it was Luo Yongjun's guidance, or maybe it was all Luo Yongjun's research?"

Jiang Weizhi shook his head and said, "Kaijun, there's no point in thinking about this. He will also have a report at this meeting. When the time comes, you'll know after listening to it."

“Be sure to listen carefully.”

Zhou Kaijun spoke very seriously and continued to think about Luo Yongjun's question in his mind.

Could it be that Luo Yongjun is really very skilled and has done in-depth research in the field of partial differential equations, combined with Zhang Shuo's algorithm level...

Everything makes sense?

……

Luo Yongjun didn't know that his mathematical level was being infinitely elevated in Zhou Kaijun's mind.

He is experiencing his own highlight moment.

In the square in front of the venue, he met Professor Chen's team from the University of Science and Technology. Several people surrounded him and praised the research on the boundary extension of the Monge-Ampere equation. "It's really amazing. I never thought it could be further extended, and the method used is very clever."

“I was shocked when I saw the result!”

"Professor Luo, you broke through our research in just one year, it's really amazing..."

Luo Yongjun was overjoyed by the praise, and then he discussed the problem of the Monge-Ampere equation with Professor Chen and others.

at the same time.

Zhang Shuo and Sun Xingli went to the conference management office together. They wanted to change the time of their report. The application had been made in advance, and they came to the office to confirm the situation on site.

The person in charge of this work is Professor Zhu Hao. "It's no problem to change the time. We will arrange it for you after 4 pm."

After he finished speaking, he asked in confusion, "But why did you change the time? And you changed it to Hall 4."

He was asking about Zhang Shuo.

Zhang Shuo gave an award-winning report. Winners have a report time, usually to explain their research papers, so the report was scheduled in Hall 7 of Differential Equations.

Zhang Shuo said, "Professor Sun and I have a number theory research result to publish, so we need to move the report time."

"What research results?" Zhu Hao asked curiously.

"It's related to Professor Sun's methodological research, so we put them together." Zhang Shuo did not explain directly.

Zhu Hao did not ask further questions, but smiled and said, "Now that you put it that way, I'm really looking forward to it."

"When the time comes, I will be one of the judges in Room 4. I wish you all the best in completing your report."

"Thank you."

……

The next morning was the opening ceremony of the conference.

The opening ceremony was held in Conference Hall No. 1. The president and vice president of the Mathematical Society came to the stage to explain the work of the conference and made speeches summarizing the achievements.

One by one, the committee members and invited scholars took the stage to give presentations at the conference.

This process lasted until about ten o'clock.

Only then did it become the regular time for presentations, and participants were free to go to various lecture halls.

Sun Xingli went to Hall 4.

Zhang Shuo and Luo Yongjun went to Hall 7 together. Hall 7 was the special topic of differential equations, and the contents of the reports were all related to the research of differential equations.

There are a large number of scholars in this field, including many top scholars, and those sitting in the first row are all well-known figures.

Zhang Shuo glanced ahead and saw two important figures.

One is Jiang Weizheng, the dean of Donggang School of Mathematics, who has international research results in differential geometry, algebra and computational mathematics.

Another more famous person is the Fields Medalist, Qiu Chengwen from the Mathematical Center of Shuimu University.

Qiu Chengwen is a recognized top mathematician. He has made remarkable achievements in the research of differential geometry, differential equations and general relativity. He can be said to be a leading figure in the field of mathematics.

Zhang Shuo and Luo Yongjun found seats in the middle row and began to listen to the report carefully.

The report arranged on the first morning was quite valuable.

The first person to give a report was a professor from Capital University. His research on "Manifolds of Stochastic Partial Differential Equations in Different Phase Spaces" was admirable for its difficulty and depth of argumentation.

The second person to take the stage was Li Jianfeng, chief expert of the computational mathematics team of the Donggang Mathematical Science Center.

Li Jianfeng came on stage on behalf of the entire team and gave a research report on "NS equation simulation calculation".

This research has attracted considerable attention.

The NS equations are widely used, but due to their complexity, numerical solutions have always been a big problem.

Simulation calculation is not only a way to find solutions, but also a method to study the NS equations.

If we can describe the image of the solution corresponding to the NS equation through computer simulation calculation, it will naturally increase our understanding of the equation, assist in argumentation, and study more accurate and faster numerical solution methods.

After Li Jianfeng walked onto the stage, many people became serious, even the judges in the front row.

Zhang Shuo also became serious.

The report made by Li Jianfeng should be what Jiang Weizheng mentioned as "Computer simulation research on NS equations".

The simulation calculation of NS equation is almost equivalent to the 'numerical simulation of NS equation'.

Zhang Shuo is doing this research.

Open the system——

[Research project name: Numerical simulation algorithm of NS equation (difficulty assessment: B). ]

【Progress: 62.301%.】

"The progress has exceeded 62%. Listening to a report on the same research should be helpful, right?"

"There is another possibility..."

"The other team has already completed the research, and the research direction is the same. Will they be able to complete the task directly?"

“By then, how will the system judge the contribution to research?”
