Top Student at Their Peak-Chapter 238 - 109 Paper Completion_6

"Alright!" Qiao Yu agreed readily, then walked over to Tian Yanzhen’s bookshelf and turned his head to ask, "Director Tian, which book in this shelf is the most expensive?"

"Hmm?" Tian Yanzhen looked at Qiao Yu again, puzzled.

"Anyway, I definitely can’t finish reading it today, and you’ll give it to me when I leave, so it’s more worthwhile to choose a more expensive one. After all, the chance to read books here isn’t frequent." Qiao Yu explained earnestly.

This comment amused Tian Yanzhen: "Alright, stop thinking about my books, if you want to read them, feel free to come and take them anytime. When you graduate, I’ll give them all to you."

Qiao Yu excitedly said, "Director Tian, I’ll take that seriously! I’ll come straight to move the books on my graduation day, and you can’t stop me."

Tian Yanzhen casually said, "No problem, you can come and take them, it’s just a few books, not worth much."

Qiao Yu casually pulled out a "Classical Introduction to Modern Number Theory" from the bookshelf, countering, "Ordinary books may not be worth much, but books placed in your office are different. A book’s value depends on its author and the person who collects it!

When I get the books, I’ll auction them off. These are all collected by the top math sage of Huaxia, so wouldn’t their value easily multiply by hundreds or thousands of times?"

Tian Yanzhen was taken aback for a moment, then sternly said, "Why so much nonsense? Sit beside me and read properly. If I don’t ask, don’t talk."

"Oh, okay, Director Tian." Qiao Yu immediately sat properly and began to read.

Sucking up is something that can’t be done too often or too deliberately; an occasional act to please the mentor is enough. Otherwise, the threshold will increase, and it’ll be a headache in the future.

Whether or not the teacher likes it, that’s a matter of personal perspective.

But from a human nature standpoint, people like to hear pleasant things, especially from their most accomplished disciples. As long as you are persistent, diligently picking the most opportune moments to flatter a little, Qiao Yu believes that whether or not Director Tian keeps a straight face, he’ll be happy inside.

Anyway, since the teacher said no talking, he won’t argue and will quietly read.

Only, it hadn’t been quiet for a few minutes...

"Are you sure about the independence of the parameters k/p/q in this section? Do you have enough data to support it?"

"Well, I’ve derived this part, introducing parameters from several known curves for fitting. Anyway, so far it seems fine."

"Manual fitting? You didn’t use a supercomputer for numerical simulation? The LMFDB curve database has plenty of data samples for batch verification. Conducting numerical verification and batch analysis via a supercomputer can be more convincing."

"Huh? Use a supercomputer?" Qiao Yu was very confused, he’s just a Little Kalami trying to publish a paper, and he needs to rent a supercomputer?

"Oh, you don’t have a school supercomputer account yet? Here’s what, you can use mine for now. Alright, continue reading, I’ll keep looking."

Saying that, Qiao Yu saw Tian Yanzhen pick up a pen and write a note on the printed paper, then continued flipping through it.

The process afterward was uneventful.

"Are you certain that the relationship between modular form level k and deficiency g can be generally applicable, especially in high deficiency curves or non-trivial modular spaces?"

"It’s not just k, this part is actually a confluence of multiple tools. Professor Zhang mentioned that the proof process can be complex; this whole logic is based on the multi-layered complexity of algebraic geometry, and here I used the theorem from the weak BSD conjecture..."

Basically like this, one question and one answer.

Tian Yanzhen raised doubts, then Qiao Yu diligently explained the thought process behind the paper and beyond in detail...

Unknowingly, the whole morning passed, until Qiao Yu felt his stomach growling, the paper was finally finished.

"Last question, did you complete this paper by yourself?" Tian Yanzhen asked Qiao Yu seriously.

Before Qiao Yu could answer, he explained proactively: "I’m not doubting you, but such a paper, once verified by supercomputers and submitted, becomes a very serious matter.

If you’ve discussed it with others in any way, and they indeed gave you some effective suggestions or directly participated in this research topic, having the paper published with only your name might cause controversy. In such situations, you’d best communicate clearly with them, like whether to add their name."

This needed no thought, Qiao Yu directly replied: "Yes, there is indeed someone. Regarding this paper, I’ve only discussed it with Qiao Xi, if it’s publishable, I originally planned to add her name as the second author."

"Qiao Xi?" Tian Yanzhen paused, then quickly said: "Your mother?"

"Yes, my mom! The most crucial part of simplifying the results, I really couldn’t figure out how to effectively unify those parameters, so I called my mom. She told me that mathematics is about finding the possibly hidden logical connections between different conditions. freewebnσvel.cѳm

It was this inspiration that finally brought about the complete result. It’s just... my mom currently doesn’t have a work unit, as she’s been staying home to take care of me. So if I add her as the second author, leaving the work unit section blank shouldn’t be a problem, right?

I’ve seen other papers that seem to have affiliations following the author’s name. Without an affiliation, might there be an issue?"

Tian Yanzhen closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then sighed deeply and said: "Not having a work unit isn’t a problem, and since she’s not the first author, it’s fine to just denote Independent Researcher or directly list Yanbei International Mathematics Research Center.

What I mean is, you haven’t discussed this paper with anyone else in the mathematics community, including... Mr. Yuan, correct?"

"Yes, Mr. Tian. Grandmaster only received this paper last night, so there definitely won’t be any controversy. You can rest assured!" Qiao Yu answered with absolute certainty.

Just as his words ended, his phone rang again. Qiao Yu casually took out his phone to glance at it, his expression slightly awkward, but he still said: "Eh, it’s Grandmaster’s call."

"Then why hesitate? Pick it up."

Director Tian sat there and said nonchalantly.
