Department of Mathematics: Become a God Starting from IMO Perfect Score

Jiang Linchuan, with perfect scores on six IMO questions and a gold medal of 42 points, was recommended to the School of Mathematical Sciences of Yenching University. The media calls him "China's next Terence Tao". On the first day of admission, the department head only said one sentence: "The medal can only prove that you are suitable to enter here, but it does not prove that you are suitable to stay." In the Qingqiong class, there are many IMO gold medals, world champions in informatics, and monsters in the junior class. Everyone thought Jiang Linchuan was just good at answering questions. It wasn't until the graduate seminar class, when the doctoral student had been stuck on the finite field Kakeya question for three months, that he only asked one question: "Why not use polynomials?" Starting from the first arXiv preprint, Jiang Linchuan truly entered the world of mathematics. Someone took his direction, so he set up a counterexample and asked the other party to withdraw the manuscript. Someone suppressed his paper, and he added a new theorem, turning the review comments into independent results. Some people say that he is just a technical genius. He wrote the domain of self-adjoint operators in front of the seventh blackboard of IAS. There were attempts to rewrite his contributions, and he made the chain of proof public so that the world could not get around his name. Many years later, the first chapter of the new textbook reads: Introduction to Jiang Linchuan's spectrum theory. And that year, the mathematical community finally understood. Proof is not for the world to applaud. The proof is for the world to be unable to deny.
