Chapter 211
Mueller's office is more like a conference room.
There is a round table in the center of the office, where you can sit around five to six people.
The first person to arrive at the office was Shen Qi. He has been in Puda for nearly a month and has followed the customs of the countryside and started drinking coffee.
"I brought this round table from New York." Mueller chatted with Shen Qi, but the other two from his research team had not arrived yet.
"Is that true, what is its special significance?" Shen Qi asked.
"I lived in New York for a while and I often played Texas Hold'em, right on this round table." Mueller knocked on the table affectionately.
"Your card friends cannot win your money unless they are also mathematicians." Shen Qi said. It seems that math teachers are all keen on playing cards, regardless of China, the United States or Germany.
"The bet is not big, and the winning or losing will not exceed fifty dollars." Mueller recalled the good times. "Shen, you are very famous lately. You have listened to every math course in the graduate school department. You are an energetic person."
"Oh." Shen Qi responded absent-mindedly, his attention was attracted by a group photo on the wall.
"Elon said you have keen judgment in number theory, but the problem is that you chose mathematics and physics as the main direction, and it is still time for you to change the direction." Muller looked back at the group photo behind him. The young blonde man in the photo looked like Muller when he was young, very handsome, very much like Nowitzki.
Elon's full name is Elon Linden Strauss, an Israeli mathematician and Fields Medal winner, currently teaching in Princeton.
Students from General University are very lucky that they often receive guidance from Philippine Award winners.
A few days ago, Shen Qi had the honor to listen to a number theory class, and the teacher was Elon Linden Strauss.
In class, Shen Qi confidently and calmly talked about his views on the rigidity of traversal theory measurements and its application in number theory, which was praised by Professor Linden Strauss.
"Not changed." Shen Qi took a sip of coffee and finally discovered the mystery in the photo: "The young handsome guy in the photo is Professor Muller, and the old man seems to be... Mr. Gödel?"
"Yes, Kurt is my teacher. This photo of me and him was taken in the 1970s." Muller said with a sigh that the handsome blonde man at that time turned into an old man with white hair, and his teacher Kurt Godel had passed away for many years.
"So we are the descendants of the Göttingen School?" Shen Qi was a little surprised. Muller had never said that he had studied under Gödel.
"Yes." Mueller nodded.
The University of Göttingen is located in Göttingen City, Germany. The founder of the Göttingen School is Gauss.
Riemann, Dilicre, and Jacobi, who turned into synonyms for mathematical formulas, carried forward the country of his ancestor Gauss.
In the first half of the 20th century, the mathematics community was dominated by the Göttingen School.
A group composed of Klein, Hilbert, Minkowski, von Neumann, Kelang, Wayer, Godel and other bigwigs dominated the mathematics community for half a century.
Godel, the master of number theory, and Einstein's friend.
At the invitation of Einstein, Godel came to the United States and became a researcher at the Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies and a professor of mathematics at the Department of General University.
Einstein was also from the University of Göttingen and was a powerful general in the Göttingen School.
During and after World War II, most of the powerful generals of the Göttingen School fled to the United States and concentrated on refuge in one place - Princeton.
Einstein, von Neumann, Courang, Godel, Weill and other famous artists have taught or done research in Princeton.
After World War II, Princeton was a paradise in the minds of top scholars, and the University of Göttingen replaced the University of Göttingen and became the new "mathematics capital".
Now Mueller told Shen Qi that his teacher was Godel and his master was Einstein.
Shen Qiyi was very excited and spilled the coffee on his jeans.
Muller, an old German comrade, is very low-key. Godel is your master, Einstein is your master, and Gauss is your ancestor. Why didn't you say it earlier?
By the word, I, Shen Qi, are also the direct descendants of Gauss, Riemann, Jacobi, Einstein, and Godel!
I study Gauss' theorem, Riemann surface, Jacobian matrix, relativity theory, and Godel's incompleteness theorem every day. After all, I will just put it bluntly, they are all internal businesses of the sect.
Shen Qi calculated by fingers, one, two, three, four... I am the sixth generation descendant of Gauss.
The highest level setting of the system is:
Level 15 (I am so lonely invincible). There are no level 15 mathematicians in contemporary times, and the historical reference template is: Gauss.
This is the will of heaven in the dark, and Shen Qi instantly respects Muller extremely.
In Princeton, there are more than a dozen Philippine award winners, only one fifth-generation successor of Gauss, and the other fifth-generation successors are no longer alive.
"Professor Muller, please have coffee." Shen Qi took the initiative and enthusiastic pouring coffee for Muller, and by chance he became Muller's disciple.
Shen Qi now has no regrets that he has not become a student of Weiteng. Although the Göttingen School has evolved into a concept and a conscious inheritance in the 21st century, Shen Qi is still surprised to become the descendant of this school.
"The Göttingen School actually has no specific technical instructions. When Kurt taught me, he had become Princeton. There is nothing to say, mathematics is mathematics, and it doesn't matter." Muller was very frank about inheritance, school, etc., and his personality was a bit of Buddhist factors.
"Professor Muller, are you really German?" Shen Qi felt that traditional Germans should not have this mentality.
"My grandmother is French," Mueller said, adding, "My grandfather is Greek."
"Oh, by the way, what exactly will we discuss today's regular meeting?" Shen Qi asked.
Mueller has a research team, including him and Shen Qi in total.
Mueller convenes two regular meetings of the group team every month, and two people are still missing today's regular meeting.
Shen Qi was a newcomer and didn't dare to be late. He came to Mueller's office more than ten minutes in advance and chatted with Mueller for a while.
At three points, a white man came in, with blonde hair and blue eyes, very light blonde hair, and blond hair. His figure was more than 2 meters tall, and he was a typical Germanic characteristic.
"This is Dr. Jonas Carr, this is Shen Qi." Mueller introduced Shen Qi to the big and tall blonde man.
"Hello, I'm a Swedish, you can call me Jonas." Dr. Jonas Carr took the initiative to shake hands with Shen Qi.
"Hello Jonas, I'm Chinese, you can call me Shen Qi." Shen Qi knew in advance that Professor Muller had brought a doctoral student, and this was his first meeting with his PhD senior from Sweden.
Mueller is both a doctoral supervisor and a master's supervisor. Jonas and Shen Qi are both his students. He has only brought these two students at present and has the energy to give them careful guidance.
"Hey, Jonas, can you graduate next spring?" Mueller asked Jonas.
"Who knows." Jonas poured himself a cup of coffee, this year marking his seventh year at Princeton, and Mueller came to Princeton to teach four years ago.
Jonas stayed at Pravda for longer than his mentor Mueller.
Jonas, who looked relaxed, was not anxious to graduate from a doctorate. He said happily: "Malmo defeated Bayern, Allen, and Shen Qi yesterday. I will treat you to a drink to celebrate this great moment in the evening."
"Shen Qi will have a drink with you. Bayern lost, I'm not in the mood." Muller was unhappy. He asked Shen Qi: "Do you like football? Which team do you support?"
Malmö is the football team of the Swiss Premier League, and Bayern is the king of the Bundesliga. Yesterday in the Champions League group stage, Malmö beat Bayern 2-0, revealing the biggest upset in this round.
Shen Qi said weakly: "Chinese team, I support Evergrande. Champions League team, I support Manchester United."
"Evergrande is good, Manchester United can't." Mueller and Jonas spoke in unison.
"Haha." Shen Qi smiled. Manchester United will definitely beat you into dogs in the next round.
The three men talked about football, which was more like a tea party than an academic meeting.
At about three o'clock, a white woman came in.
She was very punctual and came to the meeting at a certain time. Mueller notified that the regular meeting was about three o'clock.
Unlike the three men dressed in casual clothes, this woman was wearing a formal professional outfit, a black ladies suit, a black skirt, black stockings, high heels, and a folder in her hand.
"Allen, Jonas, good afternoon." The lady greeted Mueller and Jonas, and her attention was more focused on the newcomer Shen Qi.
"This beautiful lady is Dr. Mary Schultz Schmidt, graduated from Bonn University and is my assistant professor. This is the new member of Shen Qi and my graduate student." Mueller introduced that Ms. Shen Qi met.
"Water?" Shen Qi was shocked. Dr. Mary Schultz Schmidt, he was not unfamiliar with the name.
