Chapter 10 Invitations From Major Universities
Lu Yishan's office!
On this day, Lu Yishan suddenly called Ye Fei.
"Teacher, what's the matter?" Ye Fei asked after sitting down.
Lu Yishan said with a serious expression: "Ye Fei, let me tell you something serious."
"Your paper has a great influence. It is the basis for the study of strange and odd numbers. It is very helpful to the study of strange and odd numbers. Many universities have paid attention to it."
"Ah..." Ye Fei was shocked.
I just wrote a very ordinary paper, but why did it get noticed by many universities?
In fact, it is easy to understand what singular cardinal numbers are.
That is the key to studying Hilbert's first problem, the continuum hypothesis.
Only by proving strange odd numbers can the continuum hypothesis be proved.
Hilbert's 23 problems are very famous in the mathematics community, and the first problem is one of the most famous of all problems.
Therefore, if you can prove the continuum hypothesis, you will be famous in the mathematical community.
And Ye Fei has now proven the basis of strange and odd numbers, which has attracted the attention of many universities.
Lu Yishan said: "Based on the influence of your paper, when the school announces your published paper, they will know who you are."
"At that time, many universities will invite you to study for a Ph.D.. I don't know whether the top foreign universities will invite you, but I am sure that Peking University and Mizuki, the two top universities in Xia State, will definitely invite you to study for a Ph.D. of."
"The school means that you can study for a Ph.D. without taking the exam!"
"What do you think about this matter?"
After thinking for a while, Ye Fei said: "Tutor, if you want to study for a Ph.D., you should study at Zhonghu University!"
Ye Fei feels that he has a system and is learning basic mathematics. A lot of knowledge can be learned through the Internet and literature.
The gap in university quality is not a gap in knowledge, but a gap in environment.
For example, Huaqing and Shuimu, the two top universities in Xia State, gather the smartest and hardest-working students in the country, the top scholars and the most advanced laboratories from all universities in the country.
These points have little impact on Ye Fei.
In this case, he naturally wanted to find a familiar environment for his Ph.D., so Zhonghu University was the best.
He studied in Zhonghu for his undergraduate degree, his master's degree, and his doctoral degree in natural sciences.
He has been here for five years. He is familiar with this city, this school, and the teachers here. He also has many classmates and friends here.
If he went to an unfamiliar environment and had to become familiar with it again, he would not be happy.
Besides, Zhonghu University is one of the 39 985 universities in the country.
Although it is a low-ranking 985 school, its teaching staff, student resources and laboratory quality are also among the top in the country.
Lu Yishan advised: "From the perspective of your future, I still advise you to go to Beijing University or Shuimu."
"No!" Ye Fei shook his head and said, "Teacher, I still want to stay at Zhonghu University."
"Have you thought about it?" Lu Yishan stared at Ye Fei.
"Think about it." Ye Feidao.
"Okay!" Lu Yishan smiled and said, "I won't advise you. In fact, I am reluctant to let you leave Zhonghu University. After all, our school has finally cultivated a talent, and we don't want to give it to others."
"Now that you have decided, I will report it to the dean."
"But it takes half a month to create a file. You can regret it during this half month, but you won't be able to regret it later."
"If you want to leave, the school won't let you go. If you want to go to another school, those schools won't be able to accept you without files."
Ye Fei said firmly: "I will never regret it."
"Let's talk about the next thing!" Lu Yishan said: "This is my selfish intention. Since you said you want to study for a Ph.D. at Zhonghu University, I hope you will study for a Ph.D. under me and study the minimal tower problem with me. "
"You also know that I have been studying this problem for a long time. If you and I cooperate as teachers and students, we will definitely produce results."
Professor Lu has this qualification. He is a full professor in the college and also a doctoral supervisor.
He now has three doctors under his command.
Doctoral supervisors can recruit up to two PhDs per year. Professor Lu is usually very busy and usually only recruits one per year.
This year he made an exception and recruited one more person for Ye Fei.
Ye Fei was a little confused. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Mentor, it's okay to study for a Ph.D. under you, but I haven't finished studying the problem of singular cardinal numbers."
Ye Fei thought that his tutor would misunderstand and thought that he did not want to cooperate with him, and said: "It's not that I don't want to cooperate with you, tutor, but the problem of singular cardinal numbers has not been completed. I will not cooperate with you until the research is completed."
Professor Lu is very confused. He doesn’t know how long it will take for you to finish your research.
Maybe your research won’t be over until you graduate with your PhD.
So when can we cooperate?
But Ye Fei also has his own reasons. As a mentor, he can't force Ye Fei!
Moreover, with Ye Fei's current results, he couldn't force him even if he wanted to!
Professor Lu said: "Okay, then you should do it as soon as possible."
"Okay." Ye Feidao.
After the paper was approved, Ye Fei began to conduct the following research and had all the topics figured out.
Prove singular cardinal numbers using partial differential equations.
Some time ago, he saw a paper on Arxiv that used partial differential equations to solve singular bases in a formal way.
He thought the paper was very interesting and started researching it.
He posted some of the questions on Stack Exchange and got a lot of inspiration.
Monday, July 4th.
The new issue of the journal "International Mathematical Analysis" is on sale globally, and Ye Fei's paper is on it.
At ten o'clock in the morning that day, a message was released on the official website of Zhonghu University, which attracted the attention of teachers from many university mathematics schools!
[Congratulations to Ye Fei, a first-year graduate student in the School of Mathematics of our school, whose paper was published in "International Mathematical Analysis"]
The following is a screenshot of the limit distribution of the term variant in the paper Singular Cardinality.
Many people who followed this paper were surprised.
Unexpectedly, the paper was written by a first-year graduate student.
Soon, all 985 universities across the country sent invitations to Ye Fei to study for a Ph.D.
They naturally welcome such talented students.
Zhonghu University is only the last 985. Those universities that are stronger than Zhonghu University feel that Ye Fei will gladly accept their invitation.
After all, it is human nature for people to go to higher places and water to flow to lower places.
Yamashiro University!
…
Jinling University!
Zhejiang University!
Kyoto University!
Shuimu University!
Not only did these universities allow Ye Fei to study for a Ph.D. without taking the exam, but other universities except Kyoto and Mizuki also provided many good conditions.
For example, the fee for doctoral study is free, how many scholarships are received every year, and a certain academician serves as his doctoral supervisor. These are all basic operations.
The difference in conditions between universities is all in scholarships, some are high and some are low.
The worse the quality of the university, the higher the scholarship. The highest scholarship is 50,000 per year, and the lowest is 30,000 per year.
Ye Fei put down the phone and sighed helplessly.
Since the school released the information, he has received more than a dozen calls every day from major 985 universities across the country, asking whether he would go to their school to study for a Ph.D.
The conditions offered are better than the other, and the only thing that matters is that the money is delivered to you.
As long as Ye Fei agrees to study for a Ph.D. in their school, the money and conditions belong to Ye Fei.
This reminded Ye Fei of the top scorers in the college entrance examination every year. Those universities had very good conditions.
Back then, his achievements were limited and he didn't realize it, but now he does.
It feels like pain, happiness, and refreshment.
Universities that were previously out of reach are now eager to invite him to attend their school.
director's office!
The dean and Professor Lu sat together. The dean said: "I have received a lot of news recently. 38 985 universities across the country have invited Ye Fei to study for a Ph.D., and the conditions are very good."
The dean said worriedly: "You said Ye Fei won't be moved, so go to these universities!"
"I don't know about this either!" Professor Lu said, "How about I go and ask?"
"Don't ask." The dean shook his head and said, "It's useless to ask. They can make conditions, and we can also make conditions."
"You told Ye Fei that as long as he stays in our school to study for a Ph.D., the Ph.D. study fees will be free of charge and he will be given a scholarship of 50,000 yuan every year."
"With the academician as his mentor."
"And he can go through a special training program to study for a Ph.D. and complete the Ph.D. in one year."
"While he was in school, the college reimbursed the page fees for all papers he published."
"If he performs well during his doctoral studies, the college will recommend him to the staff committee and recommend him to stay in school and teach."
Professor Lu clicked his tongue, this condition is too good.
For example, if you want to study for a Ph.D., you will be exempted from the exam, all tuition fees will be waived, and you will receive a scholarship of 50,000 yuan. If you complete your Ph.D. in one year, the college will reimburse all the page fees. These are all understandable.
The most precious thing is the recommendation to stay in school and teach.
Zhonghu University is a 985 university. Countless people across the country want to become Zhonghu University teachers.
University teachers have an iron rice bowl, with high status, high income and decent work.
985 university teachers, their annual salary is 500,000 yuan and they won’t change their jobs.
Moreover, if a graduate of Zhonghu University becomes a teacher at Zhonghu University, it will be a great convenience, which will be very convenient for future job promotion.
Teachers who have graduated from the school will be given priority for job promotion in any university.
Professor Lu said: "Forget it about being a supervisor, Ye Fei and I have agreed that I will still be his doctoral supervisor."
The dean glanced at Professor Lu and said with a smile: "You know how to get there first. If you do this, you will make many people in the college jealous."
"Just be jealous if you're jealous!" Professor Lu said nonchalantly: "They also trained a student like this!"
At this time, the dean's cell phone rang and he answered.
"What?" The dean stood up in shock and shouted, "MIT and Princeton also sent invitations?"
