The unparalleled talent of the country started from Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 174, Requirements and Year-end Summary
In a very ordinary tiered classroom in the teaching building of the Department of Computational Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology, everyone was surprised when they heard Yorkz's question.

Then some master's students stood up and expressed their desire to take Wang Duoyu's doctoral exam.

My goodness, Wang Duoyu himself is not even a doctoral supervisor, how could he possibly accept doctoral students?
The requirements for master's students are already so high, so the requirements for doctoral students must be even higher, right?
Andrew Wiles, Gerd Faltings, John Coates and others all looked like they were watching a show. They knew that Wang Duoyu was very strong. If they were not doctoral students or researchers yet, they might also want to become Wang Duoyu's doctoral students.

The reason why Wang Duoyu made such an outrageous request must be because he is responsible, or he does not want to teach students easily.

It is understandable that people like Yorkz are so eager to become Wang Duoyu's doctoral students.

“I don’t have any plans yet.”

Looking at the crowd below the stage, their eyes full of anticipation and longing, Wang Duoyu quickly changed his mind, even though he was about to refuse.

"Everyone seems eager to know the results, so I'll try to communicate with the university. If they allow me to recruit doctoral students, I'll let you know as soon as possible."

To be honest, he didn't really want to supervise graduate students because it was really tiring.

It seems that having master's and doctoral students can make his life easier, but Wang Duoyu does not treat these master's and doctoral students as ordinary employees. He only has high demands on them.

Why are Chern's students so awesome?
That's because he is very awesome and has very high expectations for his students.

Chen Shiing-Shen had already set the example, and Wang Duoyu just copied it.

But Wang Duoyu himself is still very young. Even though it is 1981 now, he is only 25 years old.

In that later time and space, at the age of 25, he was still studying for a master's degree.

Upon hearing this, Yorkz and others immediately applauded and cheered enthusiastically.

Li Shenglong clapped his hands until they turned red, as if he had already seen the hope of becoming Wang Duoyu's last disciple.

The next morning, before Wang Duoyu even went to find Liu Deben, the latter came over and told him directly:

"Duoyu, as a full professor at Harbin Institute of Technology, you are definitely qualified to recruit doctoral students. Secretary Li has already applied for a doctoral program with the higher-ups a few days ago."

Since May last year, Harbin Institute of Technology has had a graduate school.

According to the standards of the 1950s, Harbin Institute of Technology was naturally able to recruit master's and doctoral students, but because of the previous incident, whether it was a master's or a doctoral student, they would definitely need to reapply.

Hearing Liu Deben's words, Wang Duoyu was stunned, and then smiled bitterly:
"President, you know I already have a lot of projects under my belt and don't have time to supervise graduate students. Otherwise, I wouldn't have deliberately made things difficult for Li Shenglong before."

Liu Deben nodded at him and scolded him with a smile:

"Even if you don't want a good student like Li Shenglong, you can't waste his time like this."

"And now that so many foreigners are here, I think this is a rare opportunity. You should be more relaxed and not set such high standards."

In the current situation, even if Wang Duoyu doesn't accept it, it will be useless.

But it is impossible to ask him to lower his demands.

Just like Li Shenglong, although he is not Wang Duoyu's master's student in name now, he has never missed many of Wang Duoyu's courses.

Li Shenglong participated in both the August course and the recently organized seminar.

Most of the time, when these students came to him for guidance, Wang Duoyu would definitely say a few words to them and patiently answer their questions.

So in reality, Wang Duoyu set conditions that seemed very difficult to accomplish, but he did not abandon them.

As a responsible person, Wang Duoyu did not want to accept students because he was afraid of harming them.

Wang Duoyu could accept students like Yorkz, Andrew Wiles, etc., because he knew that these people were not simple, but he could not be sure about Li Shenglong.

"Okay, Principal, I understand. I will deal with this matter as soon as possible."

Wang Duoyu nodded and said, Liu Deben was immediately overjoyed and left with satisfaction.

In the afternoon, a notice was posted on the bulletin board of the Computational Mathematics Department's teaching building, announcing that Wang Duoyu was about to recruit master's and doctoral students.

After watching it, a group of people wanted to sign up.

First, you need to take the exam set by Wang Duoyu himself. After passing the exam, you also need to complete the corresponding requirements before you can become his student.

For master's students, they are required to choose one of the relevant mathematical tools such as L function, learn it, and use these tools to write a paper, which can be successfully published in top journals such as "Annals of Mathematics" and "Harbin Institute of Technology Mathematical Journal".

For students pursuing a master's or doctoral degree, the requirement is two papers published in top journals, while for doctoral students, the requirement is three papers published in top journals.

The specific requirements have been announced. After everyone read them, those who are confident are naturally eager to try and run to sign up, but more people are filled with despair.

It is really difficult to become Professor Wang Duoyu's student.

After hearing about this, students from several schools near Harbin Institute of Technology also wanted to sign up.

Just as Wang Duoyu was about to ask a question, Liu Deben suddenly came over:
"Duoyu, I'm afraid you'll have to postpone recruiting graduate students. Secretary Li called me and said you should discuss this with other universities like Peking University, Tsinghua University, and Fudan University."

Wang Duoyu was stunned. He didn't expect Secretary Li to be so good at causing trouble.

Not to mention, in order to enhance the strength of Harbin Institute of Technology, Wang Duoyu’s recruitment of master’s or doctoral students certainly cannot be limited to Harbin Institute of Technology, right?
Moreover, if even foreigners like Yorkz can participate, why not give other schools like Peking University a chance?

"Okay, then we'll hold the exam after the Spring Festival, and then have them come to Harbin Institute of Technology to take the exam."

It is already mid-January and this year's winter vacation has already begun. After all, the Spring Festival is on February 4th.

Hearing this, Liu Deben asked with a smile, "Are you going to take an open-book exam again this time?"

"Of course!" Wang Duoyu replied with a smile:
"Closed-book exams are boring. Open-book exams are better."

He likes open-book exams because only in this way can he test students' true performance.

Mathematics is a very difficult subject. Those who can do it will definitely be able to do it. If you can't do it, it will be useless even if you look up the formula in the book.

So it doesn’t matter whether it is a closed-book exam or not.

Moreover, open-book exams will only waste students' time and prevent them from concentrating on the exam.

In this way, those students who want to take advantage of the situation can be eliminated.

You know, he is so responsible for his students, and of course he doesn't want to recruit students with average talents, and he doesn't want very lazy students either.

Just at this moment, Lei Daqing suddenly called and asked Liu Deben to come over to help deal with it.

Wang Duoyu didn't ask what was going on. He knew that the 749th Bureau was definitely going to take action against Snape Rodriguez and the others.

Teaching building of the Department of Mathematics at Peking University.

Yang Nianzhen, who had already bought a ticket and was preparing to return to his hometown for the Spring Festival, suddenly received a message today: Wang Duoyu, a mathematics professor at Harbin Institute of Technology, will hold a master's and doctoral examination on March 1 next year. Students who are interested in studying for a master's or doctoral degree can learn about it.

After this news came out, Yang Nianzhen's eyes widened instantly.

She saw the notice on the bulletin board and couldn't believe her eyes.

Is Wang Duoyu really going to recruit master's and doctoral students?

But isn’t he just an undergraduate himself?
However, Yang Nianzhen did not dwell on this matter too much. After all, with Wang Duoyu's current status in the global mathematics community, let alone the fact that he was an undergraduate, even if he was only a high school student, it would not prevent him from recruiting master's or doctoral students.

“I have to take the test!”

Yang Nianzhen suddenly became anxious. She made a decision in an instant and canceled her trip back to her hometown to celebrate the Spring Festival.

The exam is in early March, and it is already mid-to-late January. She must take advantage of this time and work harder.

"No, no, I can't stay in Peking University. I should go to Harbin Institute of Technology. The closer you are to the water, the better."

Yang Nianzhen's mind raced, and many ideas flashed through his mind in an instant.

So she quickly decided what to do next.

So she immediately went to the mathematics teachers for help and used her connections to go to Harbin Institute of Technology. She had to be able to live on the campus of Harbin Institute of Technology so that it would be convenient for her subsequent review.

What's more, I heard that Harbin Institute of Technology is recently hosting a group of mathematics doctors and researchers from European and American countries, so she can also communicate with these people when she arrives at Harbin Institute of Technology.

Yang Nianzhen could think of this, and other people could think of this too, but not everyone could do it.

From Peking University to Tsinghua University, from Tsinghua University to Nankai University, then to Nanjing University, Fudan University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, and Sun Yat-sen University in the south.

Students at Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou also knew about this, and it was thanks to Lu Qikeng, a researcher at the Institute of Mathematics, because he was originally from Foshan, Guangdong, and graduated from Sun Yat-sen University with a bachelor's degree.

This "evil wind" that started from Harbin Institute of Technology has spread from north to south and has spread to the mathematics departments of most universities in just one week.

Although there are not many universities with mathematics departments at this time, they are already undergoing reforms, and there are also many science and engineering students who are good at mathematics and want to improve themselves, so they also have the idea of ​​signing up for the exam.

But most students lost interest after seeing Wang Duoyu’s recruitment requirements.

The first round of assessment is fine, but the second round of assessment is to publish a paper in a top journal?

Some students heard about the "HIT Mathematical Journal" and thought it was the school journal of HIT. However, they were stunned when they learned from their professors that this journal was a top journal.

There were only three papers published in the first issue, the most eye-catching of which was Wang Duoyu's paper on the interim proof of Fermat's conjecture.

The quality of the other two papers is also not bad, and they are not something that ordinary people can write.

Therefore, many people instantly lost their temper because they wanted to publish papers in top journals in order to become Wang Duoyu's master's or doctoral students.

It’s better to just calmly take the ordinary postgraduate entrance examination.

In the blink of an eye, it was January 20th, and the "Chinese Cube" game successfully completed the final optimization and passed Wang Duoyu's inspection.

"The Spring Festival is only about ten days away. We need to debug the production equipment before the Spring Festival so that we can start production after the Spring Festival."

"Okay, Professor Wang, we promise to complete the task."

Zhao Jiawei and others responded quickly.

Worker training was completed long ago. After all, the production equipment for game cartridges needs to be imported from abroad, and the country has not yet "researched and developed" to imitate such production equipment.

In the era of reform and opening up, many equipments had to be imported from abroad, and there was no other way around it.

The electronic game industry is an emerging industry. Even in foreign countries, it has only been developed for a few years.

Harbin Institute of Technology is rich, so if it wants to purchase any equipment, it only needs to report it to the Foreign Exchange Department.

The Foreign Exchange Department has a love-hate relationship with Diaopai Company and Huashun Company, two companies under Harbin Institute of Technology. However, the leaders are still very "generous". As long as the project can bring in a lot of foreign exchange income, they will often support it.

"Very good, the 'China Cube' game project is now complete. Next we will develop our second game, 'Tank Battle'."

Wang Duoyu looked at Zhao Jiawei and others and said loudly:

"Tank Battle, MapleStory, Super Mario, and Hot Blood Fighting are the four games we will develop next. You have a heavy task ahead of you."

After clarifying the approach of developing game software first and then hardware, Wang Duoyu had already thought of building Huashun Company into a world-class gaming giant.

Although Japan's semiconductor industry is already very hot, the gaming industry is spreading all over the world, which laid the seeds for the Plaza Accord a few years later.

But even if Huashun Company emerges suddenly, it will not have much impact on the world situation.

What's more, now is the honeymoon period, and working hard to develop is the serious matter. Thinking too much is just worrying about nothing and adding to your troubles.

Moreover, after the Plaza Accord, the United States naturally made a lot of money. What's more, their Federal Reserve prints a large amount of US dollar banknotes every year, injecting money into the world economy, and ultimately fattening the United States.

Therefore, no matter how powerful Huashun Company is, it will not attract the attention of the United States in the short term.

Besides, Huashun Company is still just a baby and can’t even walk, so Wang Duoyu doesn’t have to worry about it.

All we need to do is develop the technical products and let Professor Shang Zhongmin and his team sell these products to the world.

After walking out of the laboratory and returning to the teaching building of the Department of Computational Mathematics, Wang Duoyu ran into an unexpected person.

"Hello, Professor Wang, I'm glad to meet you."

Yang Nianzhen was very happy and stood in front of Wang Duoyu excitedly. He took out his notebook and started asking for advice immediately.

She was indeed very talented in mathematics. She was the top scorer in the 1978 college entrance examination in Sichuan. In the final exams of the Department of Mathematics at Peking University, she was almost always ranked first in the department and grade.

One of the reasons why she was not selected to study in the United States was that something happened in her family before the exam, and secondly, she herself did not want to stay abroad for such a long time.

However, although she did not study abroad, her grades were not too bad.

Last July, she also went to Princeton University to attend Wang Duoyu's lecture, and in August after returning to China, she also came to Harbin Institute of Technology to attend classes.

In the past few months, she has also written three papers, one of which was published in the Duke Mathematical Journal in the United States.

The remaining two papers were published in Science China Mathematics.

In fact, she wanted to submit a paper to the Harbin Institute of Technology Mathematical Journal, but it was not approved.

This journal has very high requirements for the quality of papers.

Wang Duoyu patiently answered Yang Nianzhen's questions, but was soon entangled by other students.

With just a quick glance, Wang Duoyu discovered that most of them were unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar classmates, because they were not students of Harbin Institute of Technology.

So after answering the question, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why are you all here? Aren't you supposed to be at your school?"

Yang Nianzhen and the others started talking at once, and Wang Duoyu soon understood the situation.

In August last year, Wang Duoyu taught them a month-long course, and then starting from the beginning of September, Yang Nianzhen and others sorted out their notes and left Harbin Institute of Technology one after another at the end of September.

And now, they all want to apply for Wang Duoyu's master's or doctoral degree, so they all come here.

“You all have published papers, right?”

Suddenly, Wang Duoyu felt a little tingling on his scalp.

Xue Xiaoling, Rong Guangxia, Mo Ruogao, Yang Nianzhen, Li Shenglong and others have already been confirmed to have published papers in top or second-tier journals. Among the group of students in front of us, there are probably many students like Xue Xiaoling and others who are preparing or have already published relevant papers.

If six or seven of them have published papers in the world's top journals, doesn't that mean that Wang Duoyu has to recruit all these students?

Just thinking about supervising six or seven master's and doctoral students gives me a headache.

So Wang Duoyu suddenly felt that the request he put forward did not seem too high.

After all, his idea was to accept two or three students, no more.

"Yes, Professor Wang, I published three papers in the Journal of Mathematics."

"I published a paper in Science China Mathematics and a paper in the Harbin Institute of Technology Mathematical Journal."

"Professor Wang, if I want to apply for a master's or doctoral degree, do I really need two top-tier journal papers?"

Hearing their chattering responses, Wang Duoyu's smile suddenly turned bitter.

From the current perspective, three of this group of students from other schools have published papers in top journals. Among them, the student who published a paper in the "Harbin Institute of Technology Mathematical Journal" should be the one in the first issue. Wang Duoyu has some impression of it. It should be Li Jianshu from Zhejiang University.

There is also Li Jun from Fudan University. These students are all very outstanding.

Therefore, after a rough calculation, the candidates who can become his doctoral students are most likely to be Bochers and Yorks, and the candidates for master's and master's and doctoral programs are Rong Guangxia, Li Jun, Li Jianshu, Li Shenglong, Yang Nianzhen and others.

Wow, it looks like there are at least seven of them now.

Could it be that he wants to recruit seven students?
Then he must be exhausted to death!

But he had already announced the recruitment requirements, and now it seems there is no way to change them.

Regret it!

After chatting with the students for a while, Wang Duoyu quickly fled the scene. On January 23rd, after finalizing all the project matters and making all the arrangements, Wang Duoyu went to the principal's office for a meeting.

After the meeting, he can return to Beijing to celebrate the Spring Festival.

Yes, he plans to spend this year's Spring Festival in Beijing and not go back to his hometown to celebrate the Spring Festival.

A meeting is in progress in the principal's office.

"In the past year, our Diao Pai company has exported more than 100,000 motors, 1.67 million batteries and 30,000 electric bicycles, and realized foreign exchange income of

Each exported motor is sold for US$129.

The reason why motors are more expensive than batteries is not only due to the technology itself, but also because they are not as popular.

On the other hand, Wang Duoyu did not expect that foreign countries were not so interested in this electric motor product. At the beginning, only a few hundred units were sold.

Later, after batteries became popular, some companies finally discovered the excellence of motors.

At this time, the price of the motor was raised again, and it was announced to the public that the technology had been updated and iterated.

Being able to export orders for 100,000 units is already a great success for Diao Pai Company.

Therefore, the foreign exchange revenue from motors alone has reached 12.9 million US dollars.

But the bulk of the business is still lead-acid batteries, priced at US$85 per unit. A total of 1.67 million units have been ordered, with total foreign exchange revenue reaching US$141.95 billion.

The e-bikes come in two models: lightweight and plus, priced at $259 and $399 respectively.

The sales of these two models are almost half and half, with 15,000 units sold so far, so the foreign exchange revenue of the two electric bicycles is US$9.87 million.

Adding the above three sets of data together, the total foreign exchange revenue of Diao Pai Company in 1980 was US$164.72 million.

Compared with the extremely high revenue data abroad, the domestic revenue is a bit disappointing.

That is to say, the sales of batteries have reached tens of millions of RMB, while the sales of motors and electric bicycles are only hundreds of thousands, which is really "unsaleable".

Faced with such a situation, Wang Duoyu was mentally prepared, but Liu Deben and others were very content.

After all, the reform and opening up had just begun, and the fact that Diao Pai Company could achieve such impressive revenue data was really beyond everyone's expectations.

Apart from the revenue generated by Diao Pai Company, there is no need to talk about other projects.

Huashun Company was just established. Even if it has revenue, we will have to wait until after the Spring Festival to know the results.

At the annual summary meeting, Wang Duoyu was more concerned about the revenue, but he didn't care much about the project expenditure.

As long as the project he leads can make a profit, there will be no problem.

The projects he came up with were basically cash cows that could generate sustained profits.

Especially in 1981 this year, whether it is batteries, motors, or electric bicycles, the quality of these products is very high. After continued fermentation abroad, they will definitely become best-selling products.

If the product sells well, this year's foreign exchange revenue will definitely exceed last year's.

What's more, the game "Chinese Cube" is about to be put on sale, and Huashun Company will be able to start making profits. Then it will be time to dominate the game market.

At 11:30 in the morning, the meeting ended and Wang Duoyu left Harbin Institute of Technology and drove to Yanjiagang Airport.

The visiting delegation of foreigners including Andrew Wiles was naturally arranged by the school leaders.

After all, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Even if they are foreigners, they will definitely celebrate the festival when they come to China.

What's more, Wang Duoyu gave them several questions before he left. They could do whatever they wanted. If they were really bored, they could just do the questions.

In Courtyard No. 6, Xila Hutong, Beijing, when Wang Duoyu arrived home, Zhu Ling was feeding her child.

"You're here so early? Didn't you say there were a lot of things going on at school? And there are foreigners involved. Can you really just leave like this?"

Hearing Zhu Ling's surprise and confusion, Wang Duoyu gave a brief explanation.

In fact, the reason why he went home so early was that he wanted to have some free time.

Ever since Yorks, Andrew Wiles and others came, Wang Duoyu has had no free time, and even his paper on proving the existence of Yang-Mills and the mass gap has been shelved.

After all, in addition to being responsible for project work, he also needs to help with the review work of the "HIT Mathematical Journal" and seminar work, so he is quite busy.

The second issue of "HIT Mathematical Journal" was successfully published on January 21st.

There are four papers in total, one more than in the first issue.

After chatting with Zhu Ling for a while, Wang Duoyu was kicked out of the room by her.

Because he always wanted to use his hands or mouth, the child was made to cry several times by him, which made Zhu Ling so angry that her face turned black.

"How can you be a father like that? You come home and you fight with your children for food. You're a starving ghost."

"How long has it been since we've been intimate? Why is it not okay for me and my wife to be intimate?"

Wang Duoyu defended himself convincingly, but how could Zhu Ling listen to his excuses?

After walking out of the room, Wang Duoyu went to the study, sorted out his mood, and then started writing his thesis.

Just when Wang Duoyu returned to Beijing to find some peace and quiet, the outside world was completely shocked by the paper he published in the Harbin Institute of Technology Mathematical Journal.

When the first paper was published in early November, everyone was surprised but also understandable.

But now, Wang Duoyu has actually put a final nail in the coffin of Fermat's conjecture, making it the real Fermat's Last Theorem, and the global mathematics community is boiling.

Princeton University in the United States, one of the world's centers of mathematics, was stunned for a long time when Andrew Weil saw the paper in the Harbin Institute of Technology Mathematical Journal.

"I never thought he would actually prove Fermat's conjecture."

Vann Lawrence also saw this paper, but he did not feel deeply moved. Instead, he lowered his head and continued to check his calculations.

Fermat's conjecture is one of the three top mathematical problems in the modern world. The four-color problem has been solved by computers, but there has been no new progress in the Goldbach conjecture. However, it was unexpected that Fermat's conjecture was actually proved by Wang Duoyu.

Simply incredible!

As a student of Vann Lawrence, Zhu Chengwu was also busy reading the Harbin Institute of Technology Mathematical Journal at this time.

But he was not reading Wang Duoyu's paper, but Rong Guangxia's paper.

He certainly would not compare himself with Wang Duoyu, but he did not expect that Rong Guangxia would be ahead of others again and publish a high-quality paper first.

A week later, before the Spring Festival, his teacher had given up finding flaws in Wang Duoyu's paper.

"Tom, are you reading this paper? Haha, I know this student. With his level, he should be able to graduate with a doctorate. You said he's still an undergraduate at Harbin Institute of Technology?"

After hearing what the teacher said, Zhu Chengwu responded with a few words and felt very uncomfortable.

Rong Guangxia published two papers in succession. Even his teacher, Van Lawrence, was well aware of his strength, but Rong Guangxia still had not graduated from Harbin Institute of Technology.

It’s incredible!

It seems that staying in the United States is really not as good as staying in Harbin Institute of Technology.

For a moment, Zhu Chengwu began to doubt what Wang Duoyu had said.

No wonder Zhu Hanting returned to China without hesitation. Perhaps there is really no room for development in the United States?
No comparison, no harm!

While Zhu Chengwu was doubting himself, Cheng Minde found Jiang Boju in the capital.

"Professor Jiang, why did you publish your math paper in the Harbin Institute of Technology Mathematical Journal instead of submitting it to Science China Mathematics? What were you thinking?"

Cheng Minde asked angrily, because Jiang Boju's behavior really disappointed him.

Jiang Boju graduated from the Department of Mathematics and Mechanics of Peking University in 1957. After graduation, he stayed at the university to teach and was promoted to associate professor in 1978.

According to the original path of time and space, he would have become the youngest professor at Peking University in 1983.

But as a genuine Peking University student, why did Jiang Boju submit his paper to the Harbin Institute of Technology Mathematical Journal?

Doesn't his action mean that he is in Cao's camp but his heart is with Han?

It's so chilling!

"Professor Cheng, I think I still have the freedom to publish my paper, right? I can submit it to any journal I want. What does it have to do with you?"

Facing Cheng Minde's questioning, Jiang Boju seemed to be prepared and asked back expressionlessly.

In fact, the reason why he submitted his article to the Harbin Institute of Technology Mathematical Journal was naturally because he was attracted by the fame of this magazine.

With Wang Duoyu in charge, the influence and fame of this magazine will definitely not be too bad, and this magazine has just been launched not long ago, which is most suitable for him to provide timely assistance.

On the other hand, the magazine's royalties were not low. Although Jiang Boju's salary was not low either, who would complain about having too much money?
The most important thing is that Cheng Minde is only the director of the Institute of Mathematics at Peking University, while Jiang Boju is an associate professor in the Department of Mathematics, and the other party has no control over him.

It's just that the other party is also one of the deputy editors-in-chief of "Science China·Mathematics" magazine, so he came to question him today.

"Humph, Associate Professor Jiang, it seems you don't want to be promoted to full professor anymore, right?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Minde's expression became even uglier, and he couldn't help but snort.

In Jiang Boju's view, this threat was not threatening at all.

What era is it now? Are you still doing the same old things?
"Whether I'm promoted to full professor or not is not your concern. Director Duan is in charge of this matter anyway. I believe Director Duan will be able to ensure fairness, justice and openness."

The Director Duan he mentioned was actually Duan Xuefu, the director of the Department of Mathematics at Peking University.

But what he didn't know was that Duan Xuefu had already submitted his resignation letter to the school leaders and was about to resign from his position as the director of the Department of Mathematics at Peking University.

"Okay, I hope you can still be so stubborn after a while!"

Seeing this, Cheng Minde sneered and turned away.

From 1955 to 1966, Cheng Minde was the deputy director of the Department of Mathematics at Peking University.

Once Duan Xuefu resigns, he will have the opportunity to become the head of the mathematics department.

Although the positions of Head of the Department of Mathematics and Director of the Institute of Mathematics seem similar, in fact, if possible, the position of Head of the Department is more powerful.

It’s not that he became the head of the mathematics department because he wanted to control Jiang Boju, but this position itself was one of his obsessions.

After all, he had been the deputy director for eleven years. Now that he finally saw an opportunity, of course he had to seize it.

Duan Xuefu is too strong. He has been the director for a long time, but he only proposed to resign from the position now.

On the other hand, Cheng Minde himself is already 64 years old. If he does not strive for it, he may never have the chance to become the director of the Department of Mathematics at Peking University in this lifetime.

Jiang Boju watched the other party leave without taking it seriously.

As an associate professor in the Department of Mathematics at Peking University, Jiang Boju is no ordinary person.

He has been engaged in research in fields such as fixed point theory and low-dimensional topology in topology. The field of topology is currently the hottest subject in mathematics.

As long as he can continue to produce scientific research results with sufficient influence, he will not be afraid that his superiors will block his path to promotion to full professor.

What's more, besides Peking University, there is also Harbin Institute of Technology as an option.

In the past, Peking University’s Department of Mathematics was the best in the country, but now, Harbin Institute of Technology’s Department of Computational Mathematics is not bad either.

Even without mentioning Wang Duoyu, a world-renowned top mathematician, people like Rong Guangxia have also gradually shown their talents, and visiting groups from Europe and the United States such as Andrew Wiles, Robert Langlands, Borchers, and Jean Bourgain have also been attracted to Harbin Institute of Technology.

The Department of Computational Mathematics of Harbin Institute of Technology is now the new mathematics center in China.

If Peking University makes him unhappy, Jiang Boju might really run to Harbin Institute of Technology.

In the teaching building of the Department of Computational Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology, Zhu Hanting first flipped through the magazine "Harbin Institute of Technology Mathematical Journal", and then soon saw the authors of the other two papers.

There are a total of four papers in the second issue. Zhu Hanting had already confirmed that the papers of Wang Duoyu and Rong Guangxia would definitely be published.

The third paper was written by a foreigner, and Zhu Hanting had no idea who wrote the last paper.

It was not until he confirmed that the paper was written by Jiang Boju, an associate professor in the Department of Mathematics at Peking University, that he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it wasn’t Xue Xiaoling’s or any other student’s paper, otherwise, he would have really been depressed.

Mo Ruogao raised his head, glanced at Zhu Hanting, and said with a smile:

"Mr. Zhu, you also saw this journal. I thought your paper had been published. I didn't expect that your paper, which is of such high quality, would not be accepted."

The latter shook his head expressionlessly and said a few humble words.

No matter how high the quality is, it still does not meet the acceptance standards of the Harbin Institute of Technology Mathematical Journal!
Yu Xinyao kept his head down and did his own thing. He knew that the eight people in dormitory 303 had different destinies.

The most dazzling one is Wang Duoyu, so I won’t mention him. Rong Guangxia is also very strong. He has published several high-quality papers and is said to be able to graduate early.

Mo Ruogao has also published a paper in a top journal, and it is estimated that he may publish another one in the first half of this year. By then, he should be able to graduate early.

Tian Maohua, Lou Jianguo and Yu Xinyao are all half-baked people with neither great talent nor bad talent.

The only one left is Yuan Jigang, who has given up a long time ago. Although he has published some papers, the quality is very average, or even very poor.

Moreover, Yuan Jigang’s favorite thing is hunting, and he hates writing papers the most.

In the end, Zhu Hanting had high aspirations, but because he chose the wrong path, he was overtaken by Rong Guangxia, and even Mo Ruogao surpassed him. Since returning to Harbin Institute of Technology in late July last year, he has been working hard to move forward.

Look, it’s almost the Spring Festival, and he doesn’t plan to go back to his hometown.

I guess he wants to give it a try and see if there is a chance of becoming Wang Duoyu's student.

In the Harbin Institute of Technology Library, Rong Guangxia was browsing books. He planned to borrow two more books and read them when he returned to his hometown.

I must go home this Spring Festival.

"Alas, Duoyu ran too fast. Otherwise, I could have asked him for some advice."

With a sigh, Rong Guangxia adjusted his glasses, then picked up his book and left the library.

Rong Guangxia's departure did not affect Yang Nianzhen.

She has been spending time in the library.

Although the Harbin Institute of Technology Library is not as large as the Peking University Library, it has a large number of mathematics books and a number of foreign professional journals.

On the other hand, the library actually has a computer room where you can find the books you want by checking the relevant book list catalog.

To be honest, based on this point alone, she made the right decision to come to Harbin Institute of Technology.

If she were at Peking University, she would not have such an opportunity to use the computer room, nor would she be able to find the books she wanted so quickly.

In order to be able to pass the entrance examination for Wang Duoyu's master's program, Yang Nianzhen has already tried his best.

Li Jun, Li Jianshu and others share the same feeling as Yang Nianzhen. They all work very hard.

For others, the Spring Festival is coming soon and celebrating the festival is the most important thing, but for Yang Nianzhen and others, passing the exam in early March is the most important thing.

Wang Duoyu, who was hiding away in the capital, could feel the New Year atmosphere becoming more and more intense, but he didn't know that people like Yang Nianzhen would have a bad Spring Festival because of his decision.

Like Yang Nianzhen and his team, people from the 749th Bureau, as well as agents from the United States such as Stewart and Anthony, also had a difficult Spring Festival.
