"Principal Leonard, I'm sorry, but I still stick to my original opinion."
"Oh, God..."
Principal Leonard and Professor Thomas, who was beside him, looked at each other and felt helpless.
Princeton University is of course good, a world-renowned school, but in front of MIT, it's not enough to look at at all.
MIT's opponent is only next door to HU (Harvard University).
Why is this land so oily and salty?
As the dean of the mathematics department, Professor Thomas saw that the president made the color, so he persuaded Lu Zhou warmly: "Lu, in fact, in the subject of mathematics, the construction and development of our MIT has far surpassed that of Princeton University. The dean of the school, Professor Xu Chenyang, has previously worked at MIT."
"And... as long as you are willing to come to MIT, we can let you choose a professor on campus as a mentor, even a Fields Medal winner!"
Seeing that Lu Zhou was unmoved, Professor Thomas gritted his teeth and said: "All fees during the direct blog are free, and the school can provide you with a supercomputer for free in the subsequent calculation link of your [x3+y3+z3=33]! "
When it comes to supercomputers, Lu Zhou's heart is indeed a little budding.
After all, there is a supercomputer, which can greatly help the calculation of [x3+y3+z3=33].
If you can solve this problem, you can completely integrate it into a SCI paper, and you can use it to cut a figure in the mathematics world.
Zhang Ailing said "be famous as soon as possible", but Mo Yan said "become a late bloomer".
But in mathematics, Eileen Chang's remarks are more appropriate.
Mathematics is not a subject that can accumulate knowledge through years. Generally, famous formula theorems are put forward when mathematicians are young.
For example, the selection criteria for the Fields Medal, the highest award in mathematics, has an age requirement, and the winner must not be over 40 years old before New Year's Day of that year.
When Lu Zhou hesitated, Professor Thomas seemed to see a glimmer of light, and he offered several conditions that were difficult to refuse.
Most people dream of entering the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, but who would have expected that the cold MIT would have a day of robbing people.
In the end, Lu Zhou sighed and said apologetically: "I don't know why, I feel like a voice at Princeton University is calling me, so I'm sorry."
Being rejected again, Leonard didn't know what to say.
Putting the regret in his mind temporarily, Leonard stood up and stretched out a hand.
"Lu, you don't have to say sorry, we respect your choice, but if you want to come to our MIT in the future, you can contact me at any time."
Anyway, the professors of these top universities are basically very mobile.
For example, a professor at Princeton University may go to Harvard University or MIT the following year, so even if Lu Zhou goes back to Princeton University for a Ph.D., it will not affect his future employment at MIT.
In the future, who can say?
After the conversation, Lu Zhou left the coffee shop and returned to the Davis couple's home to continue writing the follow-up ideas of [x3+y3+z3=33].
After the idea is completed, it is the algorithm. When the algorithm is sorted out, the final calculation can be started.
I just counted a few pages, and a few phone calls came. It was a dinner party in the evening.
This kind of collective activity, Lu Zhou is not easy to refuse, so he has to temporarily put aside his work and go to the designated restaurant.
【Vanderlyle】
It is the name of this restaurant. It is located in the most prosperous neighborhood of Cambridge. It is a single-family western-style building with a very luxurious interior. It looks like a place that cannot be eaten.
It is estimated that a single meal will eat up a person's salary for several months.
Zhang Lei was dumbfounded at the entrance.
"Lying, lying, Brother Cao didn't lie, it's really... a feast!"
Lu Zhou didn't expect that Cao Lihao, who likes to hold cups, really didn't lie.
A meal is quite enjoyable. As a Chinese, Cao Lihao naturally knows what kind of food is suitable for these little chickens who have just come to the United States.
After dinner, if it wasn't for Chen Hao's repeated instructions, Cao Lihao would definitely take these children to experience the real corruption of capitalism, such as bars.
at the same time.
Princeton, New Jersey, on the east coast of the United States.
in the President's Office at Princeton University.
The current principal, Christopher Isgrub, took off his glasses and said seriously to the other end of the phone, "Hey, Professor Edward, are you telling the truth?"
"Can an undergraduate student solve [x3+y3+z3=33]?"
This question is difficult to say, but it is not particularly difficult, mainly because it is more troublesome.
If a mathematician claimed to have solved it, it would be nothing unusual, perhaps just a sigh.
But... an undergraduate?
Oh~ If this is true, it means that the other party's knowledge and talent are really not low.
"Accurately speaking, it has not been solved yet, but it is only a matter of time. Professor Stephen of MIT has witnessed the calculation process of the other party and affirmed it."
The other party deliberately paused and coughed: "Dear Professor Isgrub, do you know where the other party is now?"
"Please say."
"This Lu is taking a summer course at MIT. As far as I know, Professor Leonard and Professor Thomas from MIT personally invited each other."
"Oh, Shet!"
Professor Isgrub sat upright and said helplessly: "That old guy Leonard has come forward. It seems that we have missed another talent."
As the headmaster of the Ivy League school, Isgrubb is no stranger to Leonard, not to mention that the two have a good relationship.
"Professor Isgrub, that Lu refused!" Speaking of this, Professor Edward on the other end of the phone was extremely excited.
An undergraduate student from China turned down an invitation from MIT?
God, this is something only a lunatic can do.
Not to mention the news he got, the reason that Lu refused was because of their Princeton University!
After Professor Edward finished his general description of what happened, Professor Isgrub was in a good mood.
"Professor Edward, aren't you in Boston now? Please go to Cambridge and talk to that Lu."
Even after getting such rumors, Isgrubb is still very cautious. If he is truly talented, of course he must recruit the other party.
Of course Lu Zhou didn't know about these things.
He had just returned at this moment, chatted with the Davis couple for a while, and then went upstairs to his room.
After thinking about it, he still called the principal.
Chen Hao was not surprised by what Lu Zhou said. After all, Lu Zhou's talent in mathematics is obvious to all.
It doesn't matter whether Lu Zhou goes to Princeton University or MIT, anyway, he believes that Lu Zhou will definitely study and return to China.
But I didn't expect that Lu Zhou, who had just arrived in the United States for two days, would make a big news, and he had to solve the problem [x3+y3+z3=33].
Chen Hao smiled when he heard that Professor Thomas could provide supercomputing.
The famous American schools basically have their own supercomputing resources, and can even mobilize the National Supercomputing Center.
But China is not bad in the field of supercomputing, and has even surpassed the United States in recent years.
It is difficult for China to develop a chip, but it is different. It mainly depends on money and integrated technology. Stacking engineering is exactly the field that China is good at.
"It's a big deal, it's not just a supercomputer."
"When you write down the calculation algorithm for this problem, Tianhe-2 or Sunway Taihu Light will not be a problem."
It's not just a supercomputer, he is ready to build a supercomputing center.
At that time, I will get a quantum computer for the transition, and the ultimate goal...
That of course is a photonic computer!
