Chapter 260 Preparations (please subscribe monthly pass!)
The words of Peking University may be good. After a series of deliberations, Fang Chao decided to start from Peking University first and then go to Princeton.

However, during this period of time, Shen Lang has given Fang Chao too much help in mathematics. On the one hand, he shared with Fang Chao the topic "Second-Order Operations of Constant Algebra" that he and Professor Lin studied together, so that he can focus on this On the one hand, the level has been improved again, and on the other hand, it is free to provide suggestions and supplements for the waveguide function proposed by Fang Chao himself.

As far as Shen Lang is concerned, he may be unrestrained, and he doesn't even care about many things, and his level is definitely not weak. Now he is working as an assistant by Professor Lin's side, but he has definitely published a lot of publications and papers. Give him a year or even two years, Qingbei will inevitably have another professor, Professor Shen.

Moreover, Shen Lang is only 28 this year, so it can be said that he is young and promising.

But such a person, who cares so much about an unknown person like himself, may not be considered an unknown person. After all, he also won a gold medal with a perfect individual score in an IMO event. This result is not too bad, so-so.

But simply relying on such an identity makes Shen Lang so different from him, Fang Chao doesn't believe it, but the fact is true, Shen Lang does his best to Fang Chao, which is beyond what a senior can do outside the scope of things.

What is he drawing?

He didn't plan for anything, that is, he took a fancy to his potential and hoped that he could contribute to the country in mathematics in the future.

If you go to Qingbei, at least you are not fighting alone. There is a senior who takes special care of you. When the time comes, Shen Lang will be your senior brother. If you study in one place, your own strength is one aspect, and the network is also one aspect.

If Shen Lang took the lead, perhaps the choice of going to Qingbei would be better than Peking University.

It's just that he is not anxious about these things for the time being. His second year of high school is only the first half of the semester. In this year, he will at least make some more contributions, such as winning a CPhO individual gold medal first.

After finishing the call with Shen Lang, Fang Chao was full of energy. He spent an afternoon correcting some common mistakes and grammatical problems. wave.

Two hours later, Shen Lang called again.

"Yes, Chao'er, you have solved all the problems I mentioned."

"Brother Lang, you are a good guide."

"By the way, what are you going to do with this article? Are you quoting it directly?"

"Brother Lang, do you have any suggestions?"

"Have."

"what?"

"My suggestion is to publish it, because the more publications you publish, the better it will be for you, and the road to Princeton will be easier in the future, because if you want to get into Princeton, one of the criteria is that you need to be published in the journal Publishing enough mathematics journals is just one of Princeton’s admissions criteria. The better the conditions, the easier it is to be selected by Princeton, because there are countless students who can go to Princeton every year, but only a handful can actually go. , but with your current level, it may be difficult to publish in SCI, so you don’t need to consider this, and its cycle is too long. When you accumulate a certain social reputation, in this case, the pass rate of SCI will also be will be higher."

"Similarly, another point is that because SCI has higher requirements, you may not have so much time to deal with such things at present. Because SCI's publications require excellence, any published article will at least be rejected. I have come back four or five times, but no one has published a mathematics article that has passed in one go, so I don’t want to delay your current studies because of this incident.”

Fang Chao nodded, indicating that he understood, "What kind of mathematics journal should I submit to?"

Shen Lang said, "I don't think about SCI for the time being. That's a matter for the future. The influence of small mathematics journals is not enough. Let's publish it in Mathematics Annals Series A."

Fang Chao was taken aback, "Does this mean that there will be Series B and Series C?"

Although Fang Chao has a high talent in mathematics, he really doesn't know anything about some mathematics journals.

Shen Lang explained, "That's not true, I'm just afraid that you voted wrong, because in China, the annual mathematics journal is divided into series A and series B, and series A is a Chinese bimonthly, while series B is a quarterly journal in English. If you vote for series B If you don’t, it will go nowhere and you won’t get any response, so remember to vote for Series A.”

Fang Chao said, "I see, Brother Lang."

Shen Lang continued, "There is nothing wrong with what you sent me, but if you want to publish it in the Annual Journal of Mathematics, you have to follow their format. How about this? I will send you a template here, which has already been published. Yes, just for your reference, do you have an email address?"

Fang Chao said, "Mailbox, QQ mailbox is okay?"

Shen Lang said, "OK."

Fang Chao: "[email protected]."

Shen Lang said, "I remember."

……

Shen Lang's efficiency was very high, and he sent a correct template for submission to Fang Chao in just a short while.

If it was Fang Chao who used to want to use LaTeX, it may take a long time to study, but because of the system, he has mastered a lot of computer application technology, so although Fang Chao is unfamiliar with LaTeX, he only uses it. In less than 10 minutes, LaTeX is fully mastered.

Because it doesn't involve a lot of professional knowledge, and it doesn't even have too many complicated things.

Even if users don't know TEX very well, they can generate high-quality documents in a short period of time.

For generating complex mathematical formulas, LaTeX performs even better.

So now almost most of the papers are conducted in LaTeX, and most domestic mathematics journals require homework in its format, and then scanned into pdf format and delivered to each journal.

Even if Fang Chao is a computer novice, he can quickly master the use of LaTeX, not to mention that his computer level has reached an advanced level, which is already at the level of some ordinary computer teachers. If he reaches an advanced level, he can even participate in some competitions. Don't forget, the most famous SAI on the Internet is Fang Chao himself.

So Fang Chao knew a little bit about the use of LaTeX, and with the laptop that Fang Yuanyang bought for Fang Chao, Fang Chao quickly put himself into work.

Naturally, this time, you don't need to use much brains, you just need to convert the document sent to Shen Lang into LaTeX format, which is a relatively easy task.
