How was Chapter 31 published?
Insert 100 learning coins, and the roulette wheel starts spinning.
Then, under Li Ang's tense gaze, the pointer gradually came to a stop.
[Elite-level Inspiration]
[Gained: Framework and conceptual analysis of the proof of Faltings' theorem]
"This is……"
Elite-level rewards!
Li Ang couldn't help but sigh that washing his face really did help.
At least the first draw shouldn't be a guaranteed reward!
The [Elite] level is at least two levels higher than the [Advanced] level in mathematics.
Looking closer, this Faltings theorem seems somewhat familiar to Leon.
He had seen it when he took the "Introduction to Mathematics" course in college in his previous life.
"By the way, the famous German mathematician Gerd Faltings!"
"But whose conjecture did his theorem actually prove?"
Even though Li Ang's intelligence has increased to 1.7 and his memory has improved significantly, he still can't recall many details from his past life.
Without dwelling on the matter too much, Li Ang focused all his attention on the present, extracting the elite-level rewards first.
In an instant, a document appeared in his mind containing a wealth of information, including historical background and motivation, an overview of the Model conjecture, the theorem explanation, structural arrangement, preparatory knowledge, proof strategies and steps, famous corollaries, and prospective conclusions...
paper!
"This article aims to systematically elaborate on the Model conjecture proposed by Louis Joel Model in 1922, which asserts that any algebraic curve with genus greater than 1 over a rational number field has at most a finite number of rational points..."
The paper was so complete that Li Ang even felt he could publish it directly in an academic journal.
"Including the block matrix-Gaussian elimination method that's almost finished, I currently have two papers ready for publication."
"However, unlike the former which was completely handmade, publishing Faltings' theorem would be a bit troublesome."
Li Ang noted that the structure of the paper corresponding to Faltings' theorem seems to have been slightly adjusted.
It omits many mathematical concepts commonly used by undergraduates and even doctoral students, replacing them with a large number of literature reviews.
For example, he cited the Shafarevich conjecture, height theory, and parameterization of modulus space. The key issue is that some of these things were from before 1960, while others were from the period between 1960 and 1983 when Faltings completed the proof of the conjecture.
It seems sending it directly won't solve the problem.
"This paper isn't intended for me, or rather, not for people like me with only a level 2 math skill."
"If it weren't for this significant boost to my intelligence, which improved my reaction and thinking speed, I'd probably need a lot of effort to understand academic papers right now."
"Is its target audience elite-level mathematics scholars, or exceptionally talented doctoral students in mathematics?"
Li Ang pondered in his mind how to publish this article, which was copied from Faltings' theorem in 1983, in a logical and natural way.
"First, we need to understand the prerequisites, such as the Shafarevich conjecture."
"Secondly, you need to present yourself as quite impressive; at the very least, you can't be a pseudo-scientist, otherwise, journals won't even bother to respond to your submissions."
Becoming a student at the University of Chicago might be a good option.
"Both Professor Martin and Professor Nolan are hoping I can go to college, so I'll go! Besides, I can connect with the Ivy League circle and discuss academic issues with professors."
"Of course, it's also essential that their math level continues to improve, even reaching level 3 or higher."
After briefly reviewing the various rewards, Li Ang looked at the remaining 204 learning coins and thought about something else.
Judging from the rewards for the "Inspiration Burst," the inspiration drawn is likely related to his academic level.
Otherwise, there's no way to explain why the lottery draw resulted in the highest level of mathematical inspiration.
Faltings' theorem level is two levels higher than his current math level, which may be due to good luck or a bonus from the first draw.
But in any case, improving his academic level to the greatest extent possible is entirely beneficial for him at present.
……
The next morning.
Danube Clinic.
"Li Ang, you finally agreed to go to college! I told you, only college can preserve your talent... Oh, by the way, here's a thousand dollars. It's not enough for the University of Chicago tuition, but you can use it for now. Also, don't tell me about this."
Nicole looked around and quietly slipped an envelope to Li Ang.
Without much hesitation, Li Ang pushed the envelope back and smiled, "Nicole, I appreciate your kindness, but I have a way to deal with the tuition fee."
"Huh? You're not going to take out a loan, are you? You need to calculate the interest carefully, it's too high, not worth it..." Nicole was halfway through trying to persuade him when she suddenly remembered that Li Ang's math skills were far superior to hers, and this kind of trivial matter of calculating loan interest was no problem for him at all.
"Don't worry, it's not a loan. Anyway, I've already taken care of my first year's tuition at the University of Chicago. I appreciate your concern."
"Oh." Nicole hooked her fingers behind her back a little shyly, then quickly dropped her adorable expression and looked at Li Ang suspiciously. "We're colleagues. You're all alone in Chicago. If you need any help, just let me know."
"Of course."
……
A while later, a young man who looked to be under thirty, slightly overweight, and with small eyes got out of a Chevrolet car in front of the Danube Clinic.
The young man jogged to the front of the Danube Clinic, tugged at his clothes, and pushed the door open to go inside.
"Hello, how can I help you?" Lyle greeted him from behind the front desk.
The young man introduced himself, saying, "I am Professor Nolan's student, and I'm here to see Mr. Aldrin."
Mr. Aldrin?
Lyle and Harvey exchanged a glance, and it took them a while to realize what was going on.
Leon Aldrin.
Harvey replied, "Leon is inside. I'll take you there."
Soon, Li Ang met the young man.
The young man's name was Jett Hughes, a second-year doctoral student in the mathematics department at the University of Chicago, whose advisor was Kayla Nolan.
Nicole and Li Ang were in the office when she saw that the two had something to say. She very obediently offered to make them coffee and then closed the office door behind her.
Watching Nicole's departing figure, Jett said, "Junior Sister Nicole, give me some extra candy." Then he turned to Li Ang and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Aldrin, our teacher has a meeting and can't come. She specifically asked me to make sure you are well taken care of."
Li Ang noticed that Jet addressed him as "Junior Brother Aldrin".
In some ways, Kayla Nolan wasn't even her mentor, and he wasn't even a student at the University of Chicago.
However, he already agreed to Kayla Nolan's request over the phone this morning to study in the mathematics department at the University of Chicago, so there's no point in worrying about the difference in titles now.
So he followed local custom and greeted, "Greetings, Senior Brother."
Jet's eyes weren't big to begin with, and now, hearing Li Ang call him "senior brother," he laughed so hard his eyes almost closed. "Junior brother Aldrin, you're too kind. Our teacher told me about your achievements. I haven't seen our teacher praise someone's mathematical talent to this extent in a long time."
After learning that Li Ang was going to become Professor Nolan's student, Jeter specifically looked up his information.
A Frenchman who entered the country last year and is now a resident of Illinois, USA.
Apart from that, Li Ang's educational background is completely blank.
Logically speaking, such a person is not worth Jeter's attention at all.
But Li Ang was someone Professor Nolan had specifically instructed him to treat well.
Jet knew Professor Nolan's level of expertise and his personality all too well.
Therefore, even though Li Ang did not show any extraordinary talent, he dared not be negligent in the slightest.
