Chapter 135 This reporter is so bad...(2/3)
However, Qiao Yu feels that this kind of bilingual signage is somewhat redundant and should be in Chinese plus English.
I had just taken a few steps towards the restaurant when I heard a familiar voice behind me saying, "Oh, look, I bet you one dollar that the young man in front of you must be the star of today's conference, Qiao Yu."
Qiao Yu turned around and glanced. Sure enough, there were many familiar people who had just stepped out of another elevator in the hotel.
It was Pierre Delini who spoke, followed by Lot Dugan, Peter Schulz, and several other Princeton professors.
In short, they were all acquaintances he had met today.
"Hello, Professor Delini. And hello, everyone." Qiao Yu stood there and said hello to several people.
"We just discussed a few issues. By the way, Lott also said that he forgot to tell you in the afternoon. After writing a paper on what you talked about today, he asked you to submit the manuscript to Ann.Math, right? Lott.
"Pierre Delini turned his head and glanced at the little old man following him.
"Of course, Qiao Yu, I think the relationship between us is pretty good. I also promised to send you five sample journals this afternoon. I will also mail you five copies of your paper." Lott Dugan
said.
"Ah? I should discuss this with Professor Dennis and Professor Pan, right? Shouldn't everyone publish their papers in one journal?" Qiao Yu asked curiously.
Lot Dugan took a step forward, shook his head, and said: "Why should you listen to their opinions? This is your achievement. You must have this confidence. Your ideas, your achievements, and your papers should be submitted to
Which magazine is yours is your freedom and your right. You don’t need to care about anyone else’s ideas at all.”
Qiao Yu blinked subconsciously. He probably understood why Director Tian specifically told him not to give anyone a firm promise.
None of these math masters care about martial ethics.
Of course it would be possible if he developed the paper separately from Dennis and Pan Jingyuan, but the entire proof process of the geometric Langlands conjecture would appear to be flawed.
So Qiao Yu immediately said: "Professor Dugan, I think you are right, but there is no way, I am not an adult yet. In China, those under the age of 18 are incomplete civil actors, so I don't have to talk to Professor Dennis and them.
Let’s discuss it, but it must be approved by my teacher.”
Lot Dugan spread his hands.
Well, although he has been to China more than once, he is not familiar enough with China to know whether there is such a provision in the law.
But then again, any country has restrictions on minors. It can only be said that Qiao Yu's age advantage is too incredible.
"Haha, okay, Lot, I think you can go talk to Professor Tian later. It's time for us to go in, Qiao Yu, let's go together."
For Qiao Yu, mathematicians' banquets are interesting but also quite boring.
But he can't do anything interesting, so all that's left is boring. Like bridge...
There was actually a mathematician who stacked two tables together and started a card game.
He understood the rules of the game after watching two games. Moreover, these mathematicians were really just playing for fun and had nothing to do with gambling. The winnings were just some change. Calculating that no matter how bad your luck was, the winning or losing would probably be less than a few euros.
The real fun actually lies in the ridicule and ridicule of the losers by the winners after a game of cards, as well as the mutual complaints among the others.
These big guys are really cruel when it comes to bickering with each other.
Although there are no swear words, if you think about it carefully, it is far more dirty than a simple national curse.
There were no attractive beauties at the banquet. Qiao Yu originally thought that there would be ladies wearing high-end backless dresses like those on TV, and planned to see with his own eyes what such clothes looked like in reality.
It's a pity I didn't see it.
Instead, Lucas Eisen took Frank to chat with him for a few more words. Frank invited him again, but Qiao Yu politely declined.
After this conversation, Qiao Yu felt that Frank might have recognized him, judging from his demeanor, tone, and words, and he felt that his premonitions were always accurate. But Qiao Yu performed very steadily.
He is just a sixteen-year-old ignorant boy. The most important task now is to study. If he needs to make decisions, he can just leave it to Tian Yanzhen.
"You two may not know that I have lost my father since I was a child. My mother and grandpa worked hard to raise me up. So I don't understand many things. My teacher, Professor Tian Yanzhen, is like my father. Same. He told me it's still far from enough.
So I believe that we will definitely have the opportunity to cooperate in the future, but that will have to wait until my teacher Tian Yanzhen, who is also my emotional father, feels that I have the ability to do this."
In other words, when he said this, Qiao Yu could feel that Frank seemed unnatural and had some guesses.
This made him feel very interesting.
He originally wanted to say, "Hey, my father died tragically back then..." but he thought that this sentence was too deliberate, so he held back.
Qiao Xi said she didn't care about this anymore, but Qiao Yu actually cared a little, but he was not anxious at all.
After all, he is not strong enough now and has not grown up enough to control this man's academic resources.
So take your time.
The only pity is that Professor Frank has to leave the next day. But this is not a very special situation.
Because most of the important reports of the long mathematics conference here will be given on the first day.
Many people choose to leave early after attending lectures and dinners that they are interested in. After all, mathematicians are also very busy.
Qiao Yu also heard that according to the organizing committee's intention, the professor's lecture on 3K surfaces that was originally scheduled to open today was changed to a one-hour lecture at the main venue this afternoon.
But because the reason that the professor wanted the organizing committee to announce to the public was physical discomfort, they simply moved it from the first day to the last day.
Of course, this is just a rumor Qiao Yu heard and cannot be true.
In short, Professor Frank planned to leave tomorrow, which still made Qiao Yu feel a little disappointed.
He originally wanted to communicate with the professor every day to see if he would not be able to resist doing something stupid...
The party will last from six o'clock to eight o'clock.
The professors who were playing cards were obviously still interested, so they made an appointment to continue in the entertainment room downstairs. Qiao Yu, who had drank a lot of juice, followed Tian Yanzhen back to the room obediently, waiting for the next interview.
Tian Yanzhen probably drank some wine and was in a high mood.
"How's it going? You're going to have an interview soon, are you nervous?"
"To tell you the truth, I'm really not nervous. When I won the Little Libaba gold medal, the school arranged an exclusive interview for me, and there were people filming it, so I wasn't nervous at all."
Qiao Yu replied.
"Haha, yes, don't be nervous, just answer whatever he asks. Originally I wanted to do a video interview, but I refused. Your foundation is not strong enough now, so there is no need to be too high-profile. Those people don't care about your future.
They can lift you up when you succeed and step on you when you fail."
Tian Yanzhen said it very bluntly.
There was no way, Qiao Yu was too young. As a tutor, he was afraid that what he said was not straightforward enough and Qiao Yu wouldn't understand.
The real world is not mathematics. If you have not experienced many things, you will not understand them.
But Qiao Yu obviously belongs to a different category. In fact, he understands and believes in this truth, and nodded in agreement: "I understand, Director Tian."
In fact, Qiao Yu, who is good at observation, has accumulated a lot of social experience, which is often counter-intuitive. He just never tells others.
For example, the same people who like to sing praises and step on others' toes are often the same people; for example, when someone is in trouble, those who have helped you will generally not come to help. On the contrary, those who have helped you in the past are more likely to lend a helping hand again...
It's just that what Qiao Yu observes is that the people and things around him are a little more market-oriented, but in fact, human nature is often the same.
Putting on a layer of reserve and nobility does not make human nature much nobler.
"As long as you understand. At your age, any achievement you achieve is in stages. You must continue to work hard and don't waste your talent. If you are really interested in prime numbers, I think maybe Riemann
I guess it’s really possible for you to end this problem.”
Tian Yanzhen said something encouraging.
The term "terminating conjecture" is actually very useful, because the conjecture is called a conjecture because no one is sure yet whether it is correct. Although most mathematicians believe that the Riemann hypothesis will one day change.
It becomes Riemann’s theorem.
But math is often counter-intuitive.
It's like there is a bunk bed hypothesis in probability theory, that is, when graphs are stacked together like bunk beds, they can be navigated in different ways. Just looking at this proposition, more than 90% of mathematicians believe that this
It's an obvious thing.
But last year, three mathematicians found counterexamples, proving that this seemingly correct conjecture was wrong.
In short, no one dares to say that a certain mathematical conjecture must be correct or wrong until a conjecture is proved or disproven completely through logic.
Tian Yanzhen spoke so rigorously, obviously he really felt that Qiao Yu could make some achievements on this issue.
"Uh..." Qiao Yu was a little flattered.
"You should have met Professor Mattis from the Clay Institute tonight, so you don't have to be polite to them. The global reward for this issue has now been increased to 1.5 million US dollars, which is almost tens of millions of yuan at the current exchange rate.
This kind of international natural science reward money is not taxed by any country, so you must think of a solution when you go back. I will chat with you more in the future to see if I can give you another flash of inspiration and solve this problem. Solved."
Tian Yanzhen joked.
No way, many people today discussed with Qiao Yu how he came up with this solution. Qiao Yu all used the same method he explained to Pan Jingyuan - because of something Director Tian once said, and then suddenly he had a flash of inspiration. Solved.
Although he didn't say it in front of Tian Yanzhen, the mathematicians were chatting with people everywhere at the banquet, so it was inevitable that the news would reach Tian Yanzhen's ears again and again.
All I can say is that this little flatterer is extremely clever.
Although Tian Yanzhen would not really take credit for his achievements, he was undoubtedly extremely happy in his heart.
After all, there are so many people talking about this kind of thing, and it might actually be recorded in textbooks a hundred years later. When people talk about the geometric Langlands conjecture, when they mention Qiao Yu, they will probably mention that his mentor said, "In Seek consistency amidst change, seek simplicity amidst complexity.”
When a person reaches a certain age and status, all he wants is a name for himself and his family. If you are like this, what else can you ask for? What a relief!
"Hehe." Qiao Yu laughed twice.
