Chapter 296: Steady Progress in Career

For the entire mathematics community, the spring meeting of the American Federal Mathematical Society is just an ordinary routine meeting, and its influence is not very great, at least not as good as the annual meeting of the European Mathematical Society.

If a domestic college student wins the best speaker award in this kind of conference, it is undoubtedly a matter worth hanging a banner for his university. But other than that, no one will pay attention to who the award is finally awarded to.

However, even though this is said, most scholars or mathematical research institutions engaged in pure mathematics research will still pay attention to the papers submitted to the Spring Festival meeting of the American Mathematical Society.

After all, mathematics is the field of geniuses, and 80% of outstanding achievements are made by young scholars under the age of 40...

In an office of the Institute of Mathematics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Leaning on the office chair, Academician Xiang Huanan watched the thesis printed on A4 paper while drinking tea leisurely.

When he first turned to one of the papers, the old gentleman raised his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly said with a smile.

"This guy can't stay idle. He just finished a big project and found something for himself to do."

Although academician Xiang Huanan didn't say who "this guy" was referring to, the other person sitting in his office knew what he was talking about.

"Young people are full of energy and can't be idle," Academician Wang Xiping asked slowly, taking a sip of tea while the old god was there, and asked slowly, "What subject?"

Academician Xiang threw the A4 paper in his hand on the table, and said with a smile: "Jiao Gu's conjecture."

What was printed on that piece of A4 paper was Vera's paper submitted at the Spring Meeting of the American Mathematical Society - "On the Kakutani Conjecture Equivalent Equation h(z^3)=h(z^6)+{h(z ^2)+λh(λz^2)+λ^2h(λ^2z^2)}/3z Complex Analysis Research》

Both of them knew that this Ms. Vera Puyui was a master student led by Lu Zhou at Princeton University. And Lu Zhou's name is also hung on the second work of the thesis.

Academician Wang Xiping looked slightly surprised, "Jiaogu's conjecture? It's not as simple as Goldbach's conjecture."

Although Kadotani's conjecture is not as well-known as Goldbach's conjecture in China, it is not much less difficult than Goldbach's conjecture in terms of the difficulty of this mathematical proposition. Even in a sense, it is more difficult than solving Goldbach's conjecture.

The difficulty mentioned here does not lie in the proposition itself, but in that it is not like Goldbach's conjecture, which has countless predecessors' research results as a foreshadowing.

If it is said that the Goldbach conjecture that Lu Zhou proved before, it can at most be the last layer of the building. And wanting to prove the Kakutani conjecture is equivalent to starting a new stove next to this building and building another building.

The results made by the predecessors on this issue can be regarded as the foundation at best.

At most, Lu Zhou can remove the scaffolding that was used to build the "Goldbach's Conjecture" building and reuse it. As for whether it can be used and how much it can be used, only he himself knows.

Academician Xiang said with a smile: "Who knows, I'm not in number theory. If you're curious, just ask him yourself."

"Of course I will ask next time. But this Lu Zhou is really good, if only he is good, the students he brings out are not idle people," Academician Wang couldn't help shaking his head. He said with emotion, "It's a pity, it would be great if we came to Yanda."

Knowing what the old friend was regretting, he smiled at the academician and said, "What a pity, he is now a well-known international scholar, it would be nice if he would come back, but you made arrangements for others."

Compared with the income of scientific researchers trained in China, the salary provided by the "Thousand Talents Plan" is several times higher, and it also includes children's education allowance and settlement allowance. Many people can get more than one million US dollars when they return to China. Research funding, which is unthinkable in the United States.

A pertinent evaluation, among many talent development strategies, the Thousand Talents Program has indeed achieved certain results, but there are still great difficulties in the introduction of first-class scholars.

"Two different things, I'm just discussing the facts," Dean Wang shook his head and said, "With Mr. Lu's talent and teaching experience accumulated in Princeton, combined with the resources of Yanda University, not to mention the revival of the Huaguo Analytical Number Theory School, it is the mathematics department of Yanda University. It is not impossible to make it world-class. But if it is Jinling University..."

Academician Wang didn't finish the rest, but it was self-evident.

Building a building from the foundation is undoubtedly much more difficult than furnishing an existing building.

Academician Xiang naturally understood the meaning of the old friend, but he just smiled noncommittally and did not make any comments.

In the past, he had the same idea as Academician Wang, thinking that Jinling University was not a good choice, and had thrown an olive branch to Lu Zhou more than once. But after thinking about it, he suddenly felt that this choice didn't seem to be a bad choice.

Whether it is the Chinese Academy of Sciences or Yanda University, it is impossible to give Lu Zhou too much room to play, but Jinling University can.

Moreover, as a 985 institution, compared with Yanda University, there is a gap in the quality of students from King University, but the difference is not big.

Since Lu Zhou voluntarily gave up Yanda's rich resources and chose Jinda, which has relatively fewer resources but is more malleable, he must have carefully considered these issues.

Maybe he can really build a building on the ground on this foundation.

These are all bad things to say.

...

As the academic conference of the American Mathematical Society came to an end, Lu Zhou finally got on the flight back to China.

This time he returned to China, without notifying anyone in advance, he quietly bought a plane ticket, quietly got on the plane, quietly changed to the high-speed train, and returned to his hometown in Jiangcheng.

And when he opened the door, what welcomed him was naturally that clear and loud voice.

"Ah, bro, you're back?! I'll help you with your luggage!"

When he found out that his brother was back, Xiaotong, who made his teammates cry for his mother, immediately dropped the mobile phone that was still in the game, climbed down from the sofa with a happy smile, and trot towards the door.

Looking at the expectant eyes, Lu Zhou laughed and waved his hand.

"The gift is in the box, take it and look through it yourself."

It has become one of the traditions of the Lu family to bring gifts to Xiaotong every time he comes back during the Chinese New Year.

Although it is not a particularly expensive thing, according to Xiaotong, this feeling of surprise is a kind of pleasure in itself.

Throwing the suitcase to his sister, Lu Zhou put on his slippers, walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down.

After not waiting for a while, Xiaotong, who had finished dismantling, slipped back to her room contentedly with the spoils of war.

This time the gift was a certain Swiss brand of cosmetics. Lu Zhou didn't know much about it, but fortunately, among his students, Hardy was very knowledgeable about it, so he solved this problem for him.

After packing up the loot, Xiaotong returned to the living room, happily sat on the sofa next to Lu Zhou, picked up the phone that had ended the game, and was ready to start the next game.

Lu Zhou glanced at the screen and saw that the frame marking the rank was the same as when he came back last time, so he couldn't help asking casually.

"How did you do on the final exam?"

Niubi rubbed Xiaoqiong's nose with her index finger coquettishly, Xiaotong said proudly.

"Hey, Ben Guliang is naturally a top student, the university courses are too simple."

Upon hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou was immediately happy.

When he was just a freshman, he also naively thought so, picked up the book and looked, didn't Nima learn it in high school?

Especially in English, it is more than enough to stabilize the level of the college entrance examination and pass the fourth level. If you want to get a high score, it is just a matter of memorizing more words.

However, by the next semester, the difficulty began to rise sharply.

Wait until the professional courses and elective courses are opened, and the real hell begins.

However, Lu Zhou didn't have time to experience this feeling in detail. Most of his experience of the university was obtained by referring to his three roommates, because when he started professional courses, those things were already too simple for him.

"...Also, I'm already in college, so don't always ask me about my grades. Don't look at me playing at home every day. It's a holiday now. Do you understand? I'm in school, but I'm serious about my studies. Quickly started the next round, and Xiaotong, who put on his go-out clothes and went to the front line, murmured.

Of course, Lu Zhou believed what his sister said.

If the entire semester was wasted, even if his Xiao Ai played, he might be able to climb out of the pit of stubborn bronze, and he wouldn't be able to stay in it for a whole year.

Just when Lu Zhou was about to tease her about her rookie operation, Xiaotong suddenly smiled and said maliciously, "By the way, brother, don't always ask me about my situation. How are you doing?"

Unaware of the little devil's smile, Lu Zhou was slightly stunned: "Me? It's okay, my career is progressing steadily, and my academics have reached new heights——"

Xiaotong immediately asked, "What about my sister-in-law?"

Lu Zhou: "..."

MMP!

Did this guy do it on purpose?

sorry for getting up late today
