I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 250 The Unbelievable Xia Country High School Student
In the United States, in the editorial department of the ANN MATH journal of the "Annual of Mathematics", a group of editors are immersing themselves in reviewing the recently received manuscripts, and Miller is also one of them.

When submitting a manuscript to ANN MATH, the author can choose a designated editor or randomly assign an editor.As a new editor who has just been employed for less than three years, Miller has accumulated only a handful of excellent authors, so naturally not too many manuscripts are assigned to him, so he generally lives by randomly assigned manuscripts.

Being able to become the editor-in-chief of the ANN MATH journal, the academic level in mathematics is naturally beyond doubt. Miller graduated from Princeton University with a postgraduate degree. Responsible editor, but it is still easy to judge the quality and academic level of a manuscript.

ANN MATH does not limit the identity of the contributors, and it is so famous that it receives a large number of manuscripts every day, and Miller also distributes hundreds of manuscripts every day.

Reviewing nearly ten manuscripts in one morning made him a little dizzy. Miller rubbed his temples and took a sip of dry black coffee to refresh himself.

At this time, many editors in the editorial department entered the routine 10-minute break, and discussed the manuscripts they had received.

"Smith, have you received any satisfactory manuscripts recently?"

"Oh, don't mention it, I have asked more than a hundred excellent authors in my hand, but none of them have been able to write new and in-depth papers. As for the manuscripts submitted by those newcomers, let me tell you honestly, my God, I I would rather he give me a paper draft, so that I can use it to go to the toilet.”

The editors complained one after another: "That's right, I recently received a few manuscripts from graduate students in the Department of Mathematics at Yale University. Are you saying that it's funny? Don't they know that the Department of Mathematics at Yale University is one of the top universities in the United States?" Not popular at all? They dared to submit to our journal! I read a few papers carefully in the hope of just in case, but the results were the same and nothing new. I really don’t know where they got the confidence and courage to submit.”

"I have long suggested that our journals should set a threshold for submissions, otherwise all kinds of cats and dogs will submit to us, what are they writing about?"

"I have received a few papers that are barely passable, and I will list them as candidates for the time being. I plan to read them for two more days. If there are no better ones by tomorrow night, I can only bite the bullet and report them."

There are a large number of editors, and each person only has five review and recommendation places per week, and they must pass the editor-in-chief to be included in the performance. Therefore, editors usually wait until Sunday night to see the editors they have read in this week. The manuscripts considered to be the best are sent to the editor-in-chief for review. As for the rest of the manuscripts that have not passed the review, of course all the manuscripts will be returned and rejected.

"Speaking of which, many of the recent manuscripts are in the direction of calculus. This direction is very popular, but unfortunately none of them can be read."

"That is, the editor-in-chief has been annoyed for a long time. In the last two issues, none of the qualified calculus-oriented papers have passed the review."

"No way, the direction of calculus has been very popular for decades. There are too many people writing about it, and all major subdivisions have been written badly. I want to write new ones, have enough innovative highlights to attract attention, and have enough academic knowledge. Depth, easier said than done? I asked several excellent authors who wrote in this direction before to make an appointment, and they all said that they have no new ideas for the time being. It’s a headache.”

Miller felt better after hearing this.

Because he has a very good manuscript in the direction of calculus in his hand.

He couldn't help recalling the first time he saw this article titled "The conservation law and seventeen variational methods are used to find the general solution of the boundary value problem of nonlinear partial differential equations" Thoughts on the General Solution of Boundary Value Problems of Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations) "The scene of the manuscript...

He still clearly remembers that he was chewing gum at that time, and then directly screened out the calculus-type manuscripts in the submission library on the computer-no way, the editor-in-chief is more urgently in need of manuscripts in this area, and he quickly saw them this manuscript.

When I saw this title, Miller’s first impression was that the current author really dares to write any kind of title. The research on the general solutions of boundary value problems of nonlinear partial differential equations has been very deep, but at present it is only ten. Variation method that can't be found, this guy is so arrogant, dare to write seventeen variation methods?

Of course, such titles are not the most exaggerated. Miller has received even more outrageous titles before, such as "One Hundred Effective Numerical Methods for Generalized Geometric Programming Problems", "99 Algebraic Equations Based on Genetic Algorithms" A new method of numerical solution", the results are all micro-innovations, a little change can be called a new method and new thinking, and there is no academic depth, it is dare to write any title just to gain attention!

Therefore, when seeing such titles, Miller basically initially judges them as academic garbage.

Looking at the author's information again, oh, it's from Xia Guo, and it seems to be a high school math teacher with no reputation, and the corresponding author and the first author are both the same person.

The Mathematics circle of Xia Guo used to be brilliant for a while, but it has declined and remained silent for a long time in recent years. Anyway, in Miller’s impression, it seems that no manuscripts of Xia Guo mathematicians have been reviewed on ANN MATH in the past two years. .

Not to mention the newcomer author who is still single-handedly, has not joined the laboratory, and does not even have a communication tutor.

Forget it, let's have a trial.

Tucao is Tucao, as an editor, you still have to read the manuscript carefully, this is the minimum professional ethics.

Miller resisted his impatience and began to review the manuscript.

The abstract and introduction are quite satisfactory, and there is no problem. Miller quickly saw the core and most academically valuable part of the paper, which is what the title says "Using conservation laws and seventeen variational methods to find non-linear General solutions to boundary value problems of partial differential equations".

Huh?The first method seems to have never been seen by myself.

Miller's body, which had been reclining casually, straightened up a little.

The first method has no problem, and the entry point is also very good, which makes people's eyes shine.

Let's look at the second method... I still haven't seen it, and it's also very interesting.

The third, the fourth... Seeing the No.17 variation method all the time, Miller has sat upright and stared at the screen with all his eyes. Because of staring at the screen for a long time, his eyes have become dry. Pain, but he didn't know it at all.

His heart was full of shock!
Impossible...how is this possible?Seventeen variation methods, he has never seen all of them!

Especially the last seven methods, all of which are extremely subtle, subtle and amazing innovative highlight methods!

The last two are more exaggerated, perfectly integrated into the thinking of conservation law equations to find the general solution of nonlinear partial differential equations, the idea is so subtle, novel, and complicated that even he, a graduate student from Princeton University, can't do it Judging whether it is completely correct, but analyzing from the perspective of writing, there is a 99% probability that it is correct!
Miller turned over and sat up, drank a cup of original black coffee vigorously, letting the bitter taste stimulate his nerves and activate all his brain cells, and then read the core content of this part seriously again.

Thinking logic, reasoning calculations, and demonstration steps are all flawless!
Amazing!
Miller couldn't help but gasped. These seventeen methods, especially the last two variational methods that incorporate conservation law equation thinking, any one of them can be taken out as a paper alone!

Miller forcibly suppressed his excitement, read all the subsequent parts of the paper, and basically had a preliminary judgment in his heart.

This paper is excellent!It is the best paper I have read in the direction of calculus in my three years of practice, none of them!

Once published, it is very likely to rekindle the research interest of mathematicians all over the world in the general solution of nonlinear partial differential equations, and even open a new door for the solution method of nonlinear partial differential equations!

It's stable, this week, no, my bonus this year is stable!

In order to avoid his excitement from affecting his judgment, Miller went to the smoking area to smoke a cigarette before reviewing the manuscript for the third time.

In the third careful and meticulous review, he finally found some problems. The individual words in the introduction and conclusion of this paper were not particularly appropriate, but this is an author from a non-English-speaking country who writes in English The common problems in the process have little impact, and Miller can even give suggestions for adjustment and correction.

Other than that, the paper is perfect.

Miller even believes that the follow-up expert review process may not be able to find any faults.

After the regular "duplication check", the plagiarism check rate is terribly low. It can be confirmed that this paper is 100% original!

Miller did not hesitate to list this paper as a "must report recommendation", but the No.16 and No.17 methods in it were too esoteric. He felt that it was necessary to communicate and discuss with the author, so he published Mail to the author's e-mail, and want the author to answer some of his questions.

As a result, I waited for two days, and the author did not reply.

Miller couldn't hold back any longer, so he made a direct overseas phone call. To his surprise, the author of this paper with a very high academic level was not the high school teacher he thought, but a high school student!This is incredible, right?

Miller had an in-depth academic discussion with a high school student from Naxia Country in a shocked mood. Although the student's English level was not particularly high, and some of his expressions were a little vague, judging from the results of the communication between the two, Mi Le Le still came to a conclusion that this paper was really written by this high school student, and this high school student's level of calculus is very high, which is higher than any undergraduate or even graduate student he has ever seen!

My God, this is simply an incredible miracle. How could Xia Guoli, who has a very average level of mathematics and academics, give birth to such an incredible high school student?

After hanging up the phone, Miller was still in shock. After a while he recovered, he suddenly remembered that such a powerful high school student should not be an unknown person in Xia Guo, right?
Miller immediately opened the Google interface, typed "ying yuan si li gao zhong qin ke" in the mailing address as a keyword search.

Countless results immediately appeared on the webpage. The first one was a Facebook post written by a junior named "Peter" at Princeton University.

"Today I met a miracle kid from the Xia Kingdom. Believe me, I'm not exaggerating. This is the most miraculous and incredible high school student I have ever seen. His attainments in the four basic theoretical subjects of college mathematics even surpassed that of me and me. my classmates……"
