"Lu, breakfast is ready, you can come down to eat."
Hearing the sound from outside the door, Lu Zhou put down the fountain pen that was galloping on the scratch paper, looked up at the time, and then started to stand up.
"Mrs. Davis, I'm coming down here."
Open the door, go down the stairs, and breakfast has been placed on the long table in the dining room.
Lu Zhou's plate had toast with jam and peanut butter, a serving of mashed potatoes, and a glass of milk cereal next to it.
Americans' eating habits are completely different from Chinese.
There is a saying in China: "Eat breakfast like an emperor, lunch like a commoner, and dinner like a beggar".
That is to say, eat a good breakfast, a full lunch, and a small dinner.
But Americans are completely different.
Americans eat more full of breakfast, but eat the least at lunch, because there is a breaktime in the morning and afternoon. If the lunch is full, it is easy to feel sleepy in the afternoon, and the last dinner is the most abundant.
The average American breakfast is usually donuts, waffles, toast, hash browns, coffee, milk, mashed potatoes, etc.
In addition, Americans like to soak oatmeal with ice milk, and the water they drink is also ice water. After a meal, people who have a bad stomach directly send it.
That is to say, considering that Lu Zhou came from China, Mrs. Davis specially used hot milk to soak the oatmeal.
"Lu, are you coming back for dinner at noon?" Mrs. Davis looked over with hope.
Mr. Davis ate toast slowly while looking at the newspaper. Although he didn't open his mouth, his small eyes always drifted from the newspaper.
Davis and his wife are in their fifties this year. They have only one son and are still studying in the UK. This is why they are willing to be Lu Zhou's host family.
Because there is really no junior to speak.
Lu Zhou swallowed the bread in his mouth, and then replied apologetically: "I'm sorry Mrs. Davis, I should have dinner with other classmates at mit's restaurant at noon, and I will try to come back at night."
Hearing that Lu Zhou would not come back at noon, both Davis and his wife were a little disappointed.
However, Mrs. Davis still had a smile on her face, and said with concern: "My dear child, if you have the opportunity to come to MIT this time, you must perform well and try to get a recommendation letter from a professor."
"Mrs. Davis, thank you for your concern, I will." Lu Zhou said gratefully.
He could feel the sincere concern for the Davis and his wife.
The school sent them to study tour this time, which is a summer course to be precise. It not only covered all the expenses, but also specially arranged for families near the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The dormitory is far inferior to that of a host family, which can feel and integrate into the local culture.
After breakfast, Lu Zhou packed his backpack and went out.
at the same time.
MIT School of Science, Office of the Dean of Mathematics.
The head of the department, Professor Wright Thomas, was very surprised by the appearance of Professor Stephen.
"Professor Stephen, is it true what you said in the email yesterday?"
As the number one university in the world today, MIT is also number one in many disciplines.
Such as computer science, mathematics, physics, life sciences, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, materials science and so on.
MIT's mathematics was only promoted to first after beating Princeton University in the past two years.
Even if Professor Thomas is the head of the mathematics department, he should be very respectful in the face of Turing Award winner Professor Stephen.
"Of course it's true, Professor Thomas, you don't think I'm joking, right?" Professor Stephen sat opposite Professor Thomas and raised his eyebrows.
"But this..." Professor Thomas looked embarrassed, "but the candidates for this summer course have already been arranged."
"Do Guanghua's students know who the teacher is?"
"do not know."
"So, it's not difficult to change a teacher, right?"
Stephen smiled and joked, "Or does Professor Thomas think I'm not capable of teaching?"
Professor Stephen is a computer giant and a Turing Award winner, but his mathematics is also top.
Thomas twitched the corners of his mouth and said helplessly, "Professor Stephen, please stop joking, I promise you."
Guanghua University is not even ranked in the top 100 in China, let alone in the world, but the president is Professor Chen Hao.
This Professor Chen graduated from their MIT and is expected to win the Nobel Prize. There is no reason for such a future boss to not befriend.
So they agreed to the request of the other party, and cooperated with the Department of Mathematics of the Faculty of Science and Guanghua University to open a closed summer course with a duration of six weeks.
The MIT school will not only give a student ID, but also a transcript and a certificate of completion at the end of the sixth week.
But it is quite caring.
Professor Stephen coughed, "Cough, then I'll be in charge of algebra and number theory in the morning."
Professor Thomas was taken aback for a moment, "Wait, Professor Stephen, did I hear it right?"
"Morning? This..."
"Analytical geometry in the afternoon, Richard said he was very interested." Professor Stephen took a sip of coffee and laughed softly.
"Professor Richard..." Professor Thomas' expression froze.
A Turing Award tycoon, a Nobel Prize physicist, all came over to teach mathematics?
Is there any mystery hidden in this summer course?
Professor Thomas looked over inexplicably, "Professor Stephen, can I ask why?"
Professor Stephen laughed and said, "Chen sent me an email a few days ago saying that among the students sent this time, there is a good seedling named 'luzhou', whose mathematical talent can be compared with that of Professor Chi-Shentao."
Thomas' eyes widened in disbelief.
"Professor Chi-Shentao?"
chi-shengtao is Professor Tao Zhexuan at the University of California, Los Angeles.
Tao Zhexuan, nicknamed Tao Shen, won the mathematics gold medal at the International Mathematical Olympiad at the age of 13, graduated from college at the age of 16, obtained a master's degree at the age of 17, obtained a doctorate from Princeton University at the age of 21, and was a full professor at the University of California, Los Angeles at the age of 24. , at the age of 31 won the Fields Medal, the Ramanujan Medal and the MacArthur Genius Award.
Looking at Tao Shen's resume, he started hanging up at the age of 3, which is even more exaggerated than some protagonists of Internet articles.
After seeing Professor Stephen nod, Thomas' expression gradually became solemn.
What kind of boss is Tao Zhexuan This luzhou does not say that he has the same talent as the other party, even if it is only half of the talent.
"Professor Stephen, if it's really as Professor Chen said, I think I can communicate with each other privately in advance." Thomas said calmly.
In fact, it was hot inside.
After all, there is only one Taoist god, and the other party is already there, but this luzhou is still in the growth stage, if he has been pulled into mit earlier...
Even mit is keen on Fields Medal winners.
"Well, we'll talk about it later." Stephen smiled.
After all, Chen Hao is his student, and Lu Zhou is Chen Hao's student.
Is Lu Zhou his disciple?
