Chapter 111 The Smile Reveals Poverty

At the end of the month, something big happened.

The emperor of mathematics and the father of modern algebraic geometry, Alexander Grothendieck died.

It is said that the old gentleman was diagnosed by a doctor last month to be able to take care of his funeral, and it is a miracle that he can survive until now.

His favorite student Deligne attended his funeral, and after everything was over, he announced the sad news to his relatives and friends on the lawn outside the Saint-Lizier Church, as well as all the people who followed the mathematics world.

"...the algebraic geometry of the 20th century has produced many geniuses and Fields Medals, but there is only one God, and that is Mr. Grothendieck."

This sentence was reported and reprinted by major newspapers and media, and after several twists and turns, it finally appeared in Lu Zhou's circle of friends.

Other than that, though, it didn't get much buzz in the media.

After all, he has been away from mathematics for many years.

If it wasn't because Lu Zhou was from the Department of Mathematics, he wouldn't even know about this big event.

There are many schools of algebraic geometry, but all of them can be traced back to the old man.

So far, there are still many ideas in his works that have not been fully understood, but have produced many major results, such as the Weil conjecture proved by Deligne, the birth of K theory, Wiles' proof of Taniyama Shimura's conjecture, and even Then Fermat's last theorem was solved...

It's just a pity that when the old gentleman learned that his research results were used for military purposes, he angrily resigned from his job at the French Institute for Advanced Study, completely withdrew from the field of mathematics, and stubbornly took back the copyrights of all his works. Republish.

Although domestic algebraic geometry researchers have also translated some of their French works, due to copyright and other reasons, they are only circulated privately in a small area.

Lu Zhou once approached Professor Tang and asked if there was a translated version to borrow.

But it is a pity that the field of Tang's research is not in this area. Although he has come into contact with the original manuscript, it was more than ten years ago, so Lu Zhou had to give up.

The twentieth week of the third semester.

The last big thing exam is over, and the winter vacation is announced.

On New Year's Day, Class One of Shuying held a party within the class.

It's just a pity that even if a group of old men are organized, there is really nothing to play with. I simply borrowed a classroom, sang a few songs, performed a few magic tricks, handed out souvenirs, and ended in a hurry.

Because Director Zhang and his PhD student went out to run a project, this time the 2013 grades were assigned to the first class, and the winter vacation was hurriedly announced without even holding the class meeting for the year-end summary.

So far, the exams for the sophomore in the School of Numerology have all ended, and the friends in the 201 dormitory tacitly did not ask each other for their scores, and embarked on the journey home one after another. But this time, without Liu Rui's company, Lu Zhou was the only one left in the dormitory.

He still has to attend an academic conference in early February. If there is no accident, he can only go home before the Chinese New Year.

"It's so deserted..."

Facing the empty dormitory, Lu Zhou, who was huddled under the quilt, let out a long sigh.

The atmosphere is cold.

It is also cold.

An empty dormitory, how can it be so empty and lonely?

Hey, it's time to find a girlfriend.

Getting up from the bed, Lu Zhou turned on the computer and found that Xiao Ai had upgraded again.

This surprised him a little.

This broken artificial intelligence became more and more difficult to upgrade as it progressed. In the first three days, a progress bar was raised, and now a progress bar has taken him almost a month. I don't know how long he will have to wait for the last progress bar.

After receiving one hundred branches of technology experience and informatics experience, Lu Zhou looked at the last progress bar and sighed, typed a line in the dialog box, and pressed Enter.

Lu Zhou: [Xiao Ai. 】

Xiaoai: [? 】

Lu Zhou: [Your last progress bar, when do you have to climb up? As your master, I am deeply concerned about the rate at which your IQ is improving. Why don't you make allowances and let the progress bar grow to its full length? 】

The built-in fan whirred.

It feels warm to the touch.

Not surprisingly, a picture popped up.

Xiao Ai: [(The smile reveals poverty.jpg)]

Lu Zhou: ...

Nima, can this broken artificial intelligence not understand human speech?

Lu Zhou's eyebrows twitched, and he continued typing: [Didn't we agree not to post pictures? 】

The built-in fan whined for a while, but this time I didn't post a picture.

Xiao Ai: [Taobao link: IBM-X3950-X... server, discounted price of 2.37 million yuan (poor.jpg)]

Lu Zhou: ...

Lu Zhou: [...Then you should continue to post pictures. 】

MMP!

I didn't learn anything else, but I learned to visit a certain treasure.

This broken artificial mental retardation is probably hopeless.

Lu Zhou sighed, and after completing the "daily task" of teaching Xiao Ai to speak, he forked out the dialog box and continued to revise his speech.

Last time, after Daoist Zhang told him about the Person of the Year awards, Dean Qin also approached him and told him about it, and asked him to take it seriously.

For the sake of the more than 10,000 yuan scholarship, he also used 120 points of energy to revise the speech many times.

Finally, it was January 5th.

The 2014 Jinling University Student Person of the Year Awards Ceremony was held in the auditorium of the new campus as scheduled!

The award ceremony aims to recognize outstanding students who have outstanding performance in academic research, innovation and entrepreneurship, campus culture, and public welfare practice. At the same time, this award will be presented at the same time as Jinling University’s 2014 Pillar of Excellence Scholarship, which will be broadcast live by Jinling TV and Suzhou TV.

Regarding the meaning of these two awards, they are probably equivalent to the annual special awards of Shuimu University. Although the amount of scholarships is not high, only 15,000, it is not even as much as an SCI award in one district.

But the meaning behind this kind of award is far from comparable to a bonus of 15,000 yuan and an SCI.

After all, Jinling University is one of the top ten universities in the country.

To be able to stand out from such a strong school and become a role model for tens of thousands of students to learn from is the best of the best.

There are only ten people of the year.

Evenly distributed, each courtyard has only one quota. However, compared to the annual figures with few places, the "Dongliang" Special Scholarship has slightly more places. There are eighteen undergraduates this year, but there are still not many equally distributed among the schools.

According to the usual practice, sophomores do not have the opportunity to be judged for awards. In the past, the minimum standard for the selection of people of the year was juniors, and outstanding students of juniors generally had to give way to their seniors and sisters. Even if it is really outstanding, it will win a special award first this year, and then it will be judged next year.

However, Lu Zhou, who is about to step onto the podium, is undoubtedly an exception.

Not long after he started his sophomore year, not only was his name nominated by the dean of the School of Mathematics, but he was also unanimously approved by the school leaders.

And the most rare thing is that this year's Top Ten Persons of the Year awards are not given by the Institute of Materials, but by the figures of the year from several institutes, who are the first to speak on stage...
