I Just Want to Be a Quiet Top Student

In September, Shen Qi took up his post as a lecturer in the Department of Mathematics at Princeton. He moved into the faculty apartment and became an official faculty member of Princeton.

The annual salary of lecturer Shen Qi is 85,000 US dollars before tax. If he is promoted to a professor, his annual salary will exceed 200,000 US dollars.

The personal annual income in the United States reaches 50,000 US dollars, which is the standard of the middle class.

Shen Qi's personal annual income is US$85,000, which is close to the standard of the upper middle class (US$100,000/year).

Even native-born, well-educated white Americans still need to struggle for many years to reach Shen Qi's salary level.

Princeton has a lot of money and a lot of money. If you can find a job in Princeton, you can live a decent and high-quality life in the United States.

The position of lecturer is a transitional position, and Shen Qi is very clear that he is a man who wants to become a professor.

Although it was of a transitional nature, Shen Qi also took the position of lecturer seriously and responsibly, and made full preparations for the lecture notes and lesson preparation.

According to organizational arrangements and personal wishes, the first formal course Shen Qi taught in his career was number theory.

Lecturers must have the ability to conduct independent courses. There is no doubt that Shen Qi, who has proved the Riemann Hypothesis of the Millennium Problem in Number Theory, has the academic level to teach Number Theory courses independently.

In Princeton, a professional course is often taught by several teachers.

The number theory class for undergraduates this semester was jointly completed by full professor Linden-Strauss and lecturer Shen Qi.

Elon Linden-Strauss is the 2010 Fields Medal winner and the top number theory master.

Shen Qi has six mathematics awards, four of which are international awards. His most important achievements in the field of number theory are the proofs of the Riemann conjecture and the Walsh conjecture.

Professor Linden Strauss + lecturer Shen Qi formed the most powerful teaching team for undergraduate number theory courses in the history of Princeton.

Shen Qi and Linden-Strauss discussed it, let's open it 50-50, and we will each teach half of the number theory course for undergraduates this semester.

If this was an ordinary lecturer, Professor Linden-Strauss would have kicked him away.

The practice of Puda is that if a professor and a lecturer are responsible for a professional course, the professor will be responsible for 30%-40% of the class hours, and the remaining class hours will be handed over to the lecturer.

Moreover, Professor Linden-Strauss is the winner of the Philippine Award. He can complete 20% of the undergraduate teaching in one semester, which is considered as the best of benevolence.

Shen Qi is not an ordinary lecturer, so Professor Linden-Strauss accepted Shen Qi's suggestion: "Okay, Qi, one half."

"Eron, I also want to discuss with you. In September and October, you can take a few more classes. In November and December, I will give all the remaining number theory courses to me. It is no problem." Shen Qi said arrive.

"As you wish, let's do it like this." Linden-Strauss knew that Shen Qi was very busy preparing the report materials for the International Congress of Mathematicians recently.

The first class of number theory this semester was completed by Linden Strauss.

In the second number theory class, it was Shen Qi's turn.

This is a big class, and the big classroom is full of undergraduates from the mathematics department.

Number theory is a compulsory course for undergraduates of the Mathematics Department of Pudong University. According to the tutorial, it is arranged to be studied in the sophomore stage.

Number theory is simple and easy, but difficult and difficult.

For elementary number theory and general Diophantine equations, it is not difficult for engineering students to get an A even with a little effort.

The hardest part of number theory is analytical number theory.

Analytic number theory is recognized as a hard analysis, not everyone can learn and play 666.

The Riemann Hypothesis is a conjecture related to analytic number theory.

"Of course, the Riemann Hypothesis and Analytical Number Theory are too difficult for you in the sophomore stage. You can conduct more in-depth research at the graduate stage." Shen Qi's lecturer debut performed quite well. His task is to provide Undergraduates of the Department of Mathematics of Pudong University have a solid foundation.

"Hey, Dr. Shen, it should be called Riemann's theorem now. It's written in the textbook." A boy said loudly, his eyes full of admiration: "It's you, Dr. Shen, who proved the Riemann conjecture , so we can directly quote the conclusion of Riemann's theorem."

"Yes, Dr. Shen, tell me, tell me how you completed the Riemann Hypothesis proof!"

Young sophomores are full of passion. They are curious, excited and energetic.

Shen Qi shook his head: "Don't say it."

"Say it!"

Shen Qi said: "According to the teaching plan, the part of Riemann's theorem will be explained by Professor Linden-Strauss, and then we will enter the study of Diophantine equations."

Hey... the students sighed, looking so disappointed.

"The general Diophantine equation is very simple, but the complex Diophantine equation is extremely difficult. The most famous example is Fermat's last theorem."

"Before understanding Fermat's last theorem, let's first understand Walsh's theorem."

Shen Qi wrote down an equation on the blackboard and tapped on the blackboard: "The content of Walsh's theorem is that if a and b are positive integers, then the equation aX^4-bY^2=1 has at most two sets of positive integer solutions ( X, Y), which is a fundamental theorem in the Diophantine equation. Forget the Riemann theorem kids, this is just your second number theory class, and getting the basics right is more important than anything else."

The students flipped through the books, and those who took notes took notes. Suddenly, someone said: "Wash's theorem used to be called the Walsh conjecture. The reason why it became a basic theorem of the Diophantine equation is because Dr. Shen proved that It's an amazing piece of work."

Shen Qi followed the prestige, and the speaker was an unattractive Caucasian boy wearing glasses.

"What's your name?" Shen Qi asked.

"Bell, Andy Bell." The man with glasses said.

Shen Qi expressed his relief: "Andy, you are very studious and I hope you will continue to do so."

The man with glasses was encouraged: "I will."

The whole world knows that Riemann's conjecture was proved by Shen Qi. Unexpectedly, another theorem in the textbook, the basic theorem in the Diophantine equation, Walsh's theorem, was also proved by Shen Qi.

In Princeton's new edition of undergraduate number theory textbooks, both Riemann's theorem and Walsh's theorem can be used directly. Shen Qi has made certain contributions to the fields of analytic number theory and Diophantine equations.

"Tell me, Dr. Shen, how did you prove Walsh's conjecture?"

The public sentiment was heated again. Two mathematical theorems in a textbook were proved by the same person.

And this person is still alive, still very young, and he is standing on the podium.

He proved this fundamental theorem, and he is explaining this fundamental theorem in the textbook.

Children's thirst for knowledge is particularly strong. Shen Qi refused to explain the detailed proof process and mental journey of Riemann's conjecture, but he could not continue to refuse the request of Walsh's conjecture.

All the students were so fascinated, listening to Shen Qi tell how he completed the proof of Walsh's conjecture.

"...the most critical step is the effective algebraic approximation. It was a cloudy day with a moderate temperature and a pleasant climate. I completed the proof of Walsh's conjecture. Yes, in the latest number theory textbook, it became Walsh's theorem, Hope you don't lose points on this fundamental theorem."

Shen Qi finished his first lecturer course, and the results were pretty good.
