Top Student at Their Peak-Chapter 236 - 109 Paper Completion_4

Because of a young person’s urge to show off, Qiao Yu initially considered sending a copy to Professor Zhang Shuwen at Princeton as well. frёewebnoѵēl.com

But after some thought, he decided against it. Although he was quite confident, it was his first time tackling such a major thesis topic, and since he had completed it entirely on his own, he wasn’t sure if his final result would gain recognition.

Better to let his advisor and academic grandfather review it first.

In case there were any major issues, he would have a chance to amend them. If Professor Zhang were to point out any significant problems, he’d end up being scolded by an outsider for no reason.

Hmm, being reprimanded by one’s mentor could still strengthen their bond, but being lectured by an outsider, even if it’s for your own good, would just feel stifling.

Not to mention that both his advisor and academic grandfather had a good relationship with that Professor Zhang. If they endorsed the paper, that professor would certainly see it too. It’s just a matter of time, no need to rush.

After sending off the paper, Qiao Yu hurried out, ran to the second floor, and enjoyed a comfortable shower. He went back to his room, casually dried his hair, and then collapsed into bed.

This week his body wasn’t tired, it was just that his mental exertion was too great, making him easily drowsy.

...

Huaqing University, Qiuzhai.

Yuan Zhengxin, as usual, walked into his office at 7:50 a.m., then turned on his computer and logged into WeChat first.

He planned to print out the reading insights Qiao Yu sent him and take a closer look.

The old gentleman had grown accustomed to Qiao Yu sending his weekly reading and paper-reading insights around 7:30 a.m. every Monday morning.

This method of remote education was more than just a student-teacher relationship.

People easily drown in sweet talk, especially the elderly.

Children often complain about their elderly parents spending money recklessly, buying health products, and making bad investments, losing money to outsiders, yet never reflect on whether they themselves are too perfunctory toward their parents, if they fulfill their role as children as attentively and diligently as others.

Excellent salespeople, who inquire about elders’ well-being on a regular basis, paying special attention to the emotional needs of the elderly, can satisfy all non-monetary needs, even going over to give massages and back hammering, much more intimate than their own children, who even speak more kindly, can truly melt the hardest of hearts over time...

Casually chatting about family matters: "Dad, for your illness, you need..."

And the business probably gets done, as people’s defenses slowly crumble unnoticed.

Not to mention Qiao Yu also made some minor upgrades, he didn’t call him Dad, he referred to himself as the grandson...

"Grandpa, I didn’t read anything this week, so there are no insights. But your grandson hasn’t been slacking off, I’ve finished the thesis I’ve been working on for a long time this week, I’ve already sent it to your email, please help me carefully check for any mistakes! My goal is to publish in the world’s top four mathematics journals!"

This sentence was accompanied by a serious face emoji, very fitting for a grandson’s persona, making him appear quite mischievous.

The old gentleman smiled subconsciously, thinking to himself: This grandson of mine, aims to publish in the world’s top four mathematics journals, isn’t publishing in a high-ranking journal enough for you to boast?

Of course, he was in a good mood.

After talking with Lan Jie, the old gentleman had already downloaded and reviewed Qiao Yu’s paper.

He was very satisfied, especially learning from Qiao Yu that the paper was almost entirely his own work, naturally raising his evaluation of Qiao Yu by several notches.

He initially planned to consult with the corresponding author of the paper—Professor Xue Song from Yujiang University, about some matters, but upon learning that Xue Song had already transferred to Yanbei University, he gave up the idea.

Although he was fond of Qiao Yu to the core, some gaps are still hard to bridge directly.

After all, he was a teacher, and the other party hadn’t expressed much. Should he be the one to bow down and reconcile with his estranged pupil?

But if it concerns Qiao Yu...

Alright, anyhow, this child acknowledges him as his academic grandfather, accepts being part of his lineage, and for now, that’s enough.

Soon, the paper was printed out.

The old gentleman had heard about Qiao Yu’s ideas from Zhang Shuwen, so he wasn’t surprised by the paper’s title, but after looking at the introduction and the table of contents, the old gentleman directly flipped to the last two pages and saw the final result, which left him momentarily stunned and made him much more serious.

Goodness, did this child really work out a general estimation formula?

This made the old gentleman’s demeanor considerably more earnest when he reviewed the paper, even showing some excitement.

If you don’t mind me saying, if this result is correct, at least if no obvious flaws are found temporarily, this achievement truly has the qualifications to be published in one of the top four mathematics journals.

If Qiao Yu’s method is correct, when applied to numerical applications, it can effectively aid in determining the convergence of iterative processes, help analyze errors, and optimize convergence speed of related algorithms. Especially in solving optimization problems, it can help set constraints to ensure solutions remain within the rational number range, aiding in simplifying computations.

Once the elder got serious, he called his assistant into the office straightaway: "Notify everyone that I won’t attend the group meeting this morning. Just prepare a summary of the speeches for me afterward."

"Understood, Professor."

...

Yanbei University, Qiao Yu was outside his dormitory, which doubled as a study room, doing his morning exercises.

Last week he was so focused on the paper that it felt like he was welded to his seat, and he felt like he hadn’t exercised properly in a long time, so it was a good time to move around.

He was only sixteen, so maintaining some level of exercise could also help him grow taller.

Moreover, for Qiao Yu, a new week felt like being recharged with seven more days, giving him a sense of being able to squander time joyfully.
