Chapter 720： He turned down MIT?

Facing Professor Stephen's invitation, Lu Zhou's first reaction was not excitement, but sullenness.

"Professor, I didn't solve this question."

[x3+y3+z3=33] It seems simple, but it actually requires a lot of calculation. If it is using the human brain, even if it takes Lu Zhou a month to calculate it.

But why is Professor Stephen so excited?

Naturally, because Lu Zhou has already sorted out some ideas, as long as he completes the solution to this problem and the corresponding algorithm, he can finally rely on the computer to calculate the solution of [x, y, z].

It is worth noting that the computer here is not an ordinary home computer. If you only rely on a home computer to run the problem-solving algorithm, it will take at least hundreds of years to find the answer.

It is generally necessary to divide the work into hundreds of thousands of smaller tasks to run on a personal computer, and only in this way can speed up the search.

Of course, it would be more convenient if you could use a supercomputer.

"No, you've already made it."

Professor Stephen looked at Lu Zhou like a treasure, just like his first meeting with Chen Hao.

Although this question has plagued the mathematics community for decades, it is far from the seven major mathematical problems in the world, such as the Hodge conjecture and the Poincaré conjecture.

But how old is Lu Zhou?

He's only 21, an undergraduate!

The most outrageous thing is not only that, this Lu Zhou is not a student of mathematics, he is studying electrical engineering...

"You only need a little time to perfect your ideas and algorithms." Professor Stephen continued to say enthusiastically, "Lu, come to MIT. Even if you want to return to your home country in the future, it will not affect your study at MIT."

Lu Zhou took a deep breath, his expression unchanged.

"Professor Stephen, although I also yearn for MIT, I'm sorry, I have my own life plan."

The smile on Professor Stephen's face suddenly froze, the answer he never expected.

After a moment, he sighed and asked, "Harvard or Princeton?"

Lu Zhou was silent for a while and said, "Princeton University."

Among the top ten universities in the world for mathematics, in addition to the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich, the UK's Oxford University and the University of Cambridge, the other seven are in the United States.

For the past few decades, Princeton University has been the king of mathematics in colleges and universities, with 15 Fields Medal winners alone.

It's just that the mathematics disciplines of MIT have developed rapidly in recent years, bringing Princeton University down from the first place.

Even so, who dare not underestimate Princeton University.

Now it was Professor Stephen's turn to be silent.

Talented people like Lu Zhou and Tao Zhexuan have their own ideas, and it is generally difficult to persuade them to make decisions.

After a long time, he said helplessly, "Princeton is not bad either."

Professor Stephen glanced at Lu Zhou again and said seriously: "Lu, if possible, please let me write a letter of recommendation."

"Dear professor, thank you." Lu Zhou did not refuse, his eyes fluctuated for a while, and he sincerely thanked him.

The systems at home and abroad are different, and expert recommendation letters are a very important part of applying for a school. The more influential the professor's recommendation letter, the higher the gold content.

Even if Lu Zhou is very confident in himself, it is Princeton University after all, and there is nothing wrong with one more guarantee.

"Cao, I'll leave it to you here."

Professor Stephen left the classroom after exhorting Cao Lihao who had come in earlier.

And Zheng Tianyu, Zhang Lei and several friends are still stunned.

"Rejected MIT???" Zhang Lei opened his mouth wide, looking in disbelief.

In the face of MIT's invitation, normally, he does not believe that people will refuse.

After all, this is the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the number one university in the world!

As long as you can enter the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and graduate successfully, you can completely change a person's luck and allow ordinary people to cross a class.

If it was him, he would definitely not refuse.

Zheng Tianyu also smiled bitterly. Although he knew that Lu Zhou planned to go to Princeton University, he was still unmoved by the invitation from MIT, which was really amazing.

It's absolutely impossible to replace him.

At this moment, a voice sounded in the classroom, breaking the silence.

"Several classmates, I think it's getting late. I'll invite everyone to lunch."

Everyone looked at the source of the sound, and it was Cao Lihao who spoke.

"My name is Cao Lihao. I'm a friend and fellow of your principal, and I'm also a doctoral student at MIT. You can come to me if you have any trouble in school these six weeks."

Cao Lihao paused, looked at Lu Zhou, and said with a smile, "Student Lu Zhou, Chen Hao should have told you?"

"The principal said it." Lu Zhou nodded.

When Zhang Lei, Zheng Tianyu and others heard it, they relaxed their guards. After all, people are in a foreign country, and security issues should not be underestimated.

And it's almost 1 o'clock now, and everyone is really hungry, not to mention that there is a course in analytic geometry at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

Cao Lihao waved his hand and said with a smile, "You can just call me Brother Cao, let's go and eat!"

In this way, the eight people followed Cao Lihao's footsteps and walked out.

After walking out of the teaching building, I turned around seven times and eight times, and finally came to the place to eat.

Zhang Lei stood at the entrance of the restaurant, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

He whispered to Lu Zhou next to him: "I thought I could eat a big meal, but this is it?"

The scene in front of you is like a domestic cafeteria, with rows of glass cabinets filled with food and fruits.

Until early noon, there were not many people dining, and only a few students with bags were picking out meals.

After all, isn't this the school cafeteria?

"Cough, mainly because you have classes later, so let's have a simple meal at school first, and I will invite you to a big dinner in the city center in the evening!" Cao Lihao explained with a red face and a heartbeat.

"Thank you, Brother Cao~"

Several weak voices responded.

When I came to the evil capitalist empire, I didn't expect to eat in the cafeteria, which is too disappointing.

A group of people walked around the restaurant, looking for meals they were interested in.

Finally, the card swiped by Cao Lihao.

When seated, Zheng Tianyu nodded Zhang Lei and whispered, "Old Zhang, do you know how much this buffet meal costs?"

"How much?" Zhang Lei took a mouthful of macaroni and cheese, and it was so sweet that he almost spit it out.

Zheng Tianyu gestured a number, "15 knives!"

"15 knives?!" Zhang Lei's eyes widened, and he looked at the food on the plate again, completely disbelieving.

This is almost 100 oceans to be converted into RMB!

Eat something like this for 100 oceans?

Zheng Tianyu probably knew what Zhang Lei was thinking, he smiled and continued to eat.

The United States makes money and spends it in the United States, and if it is converted into RMB at every turn, it must be unbalanced.

Just as Zheng Tianyu, Lu Zhou and others were eating, Professor Stephen was waiting for the other person to return in Professor Thomas' office.

Not long after, the office door was slammed open.

Professor Thomas rushed in in a hurry, and when he saw Professor Stephen, the light in his eyes skyrocketed.

"Professor Stephen, are you telling the truth?"

"Thomas, you should know who I am." Professor Stephen sat on the office chair and said solemnly.

After hearing the confirmation, Professor Thomas felt restless.

"This Lu is really not easy, he can solve the problem of [x3+y3+z3=33]..."

"Professor Stephen, this kind of talent is what we need at MIT!" Professor Thomas looked directly at Stephen.

"But Lu He refused."

"He rejected MIT?"

"How is that possible!" Professor Thomas stood up in shock, he didn't believe it was a fact.

Who would decline an invitation from MIT?

You must know that the number of students at MIT is not large. The total number of undergraduates is more than 4,000, and the total number of graduate students is more than 7,000. There are fewer than 10 undergraduate students enrolled in mainland China every year.

He doesn't believe it.

But these words came from Professor Stephen's mouth, and he had to believe it.

"God, someone would actually refuse MIT's invitation!" Thomas muttered as he sat down on the chair.

"He's a kid with ideas, and Princeton might be a good choice."

Compared to Professor Stephen's calmness, Professor Thomas couldn't sit still.

Professor Stephen is from the Department of Computer Science, and the loss is their Department of Mathematics.

"No, I have to find Principal Leonard!"

Having said that, Professor Thomas left the office directly.

Ten minutes later in the principal's office.

After listening to the description of Thomas, the head of the mathematics department, Professor Maurice Leonard's eyelids jumped.

"This LuZhou is Chen's student?"

In the face of Chen Hao's departure last year, he and Stephen worked hard to keep them together, but in the end they failed.

Now this Lu Zhou is Chen Hao's student again, and he has an inexplicable sense of strangeness in his heart.

You can't fail again, can you?

Does MIT still have a tabletop?

"Then let's try..."

ps: Are there still people alive? If so, make a squeak. It feels like you are playing a single-player game...

Chapter 720 He actually rejected MIT?
