Chapter 220 Is it not suitable for ordinary people like us to do mathematics?
September 16, no matter how unwilling Lott Dugan was, the report had begun. For him, this time he came to China to attend the lecture.
But everything he saw in the past two days was not very good for him to rest, so he simply got up early that day, intending to do some serious business and meet Qiao Yu before the report meeting.
This morning's report was held in the Centennial Lecture Hall of Yanbei University. The first report by Qiao Yu lasted from 9:30 to 1:30, a full two hours.
It's just that there are quite a lot of people who have similar ideas to Lott Dugan.
For example, Tao Xuanzhi.
In fact, Tao Xuanzhi arrived in China a day early, but because he came later than Peter Schultz, Qiao Yu had already left behind and thanked the guests behind closed doors.
It’s still the phone turned off and the emails are not answered. This kind of attitude of being determined to the extreme, it makes people feel helpless.
Of course, we can't say that we have neglected these distinguished guests. After all, Qiao Yu's mentor and Qiao Yu's mentor came forward to receive him...
Ask Qiao Yu, the two answers were "Who knows what that kid is busy with?"
< br>
When he learned that Qiao Yu had chatted with Peter Schultz for a whole day before he was in seclusion, Tao Xuanzhi also specifically asked about the room where the German genius professor lived and went to meet him.
And then was shocked by Peter Schultz's decadent look. After all, that day was the first time he saw this mathematician who usually cared about his image, with a shaved beard...
And he looked absent-minded when chatting with him. He also said something he didn't understand very much.
For example, do ordinary people like them have much meaning to study mathematics?
To be honest, Tao Xuanzhi didn't know what kind of blow Peter Schultz was to say such words...
It’s really not that Tao Xuanzhi doesn’t know how to be modest, but if he and Schultz are just ordinary people in the mathematical level, then the threshold for being an ordinary person will undoubtedly be raised too high.
What do other math professors who can't even win the Fields Medal think? What do mathematicians who have devoted themselves to mathematical research all their lives but cannot even publish four top journals?
Are they not even worthy of being an ordinary person?
This also made Tao Xuanzhi talk about what Peter Schultz and Qiao Yu, and suddenly his mental state was not very normal and he was more curious.
Unfortunately, Peter Schultz only said: "What's the hurry? You'll know at the report meeting in two days."
Then he kept silent.
It's very embarrassing. If a Fields Medal winner doesn't want to speak up when talking about a certain issue, no one can do anything about it...
You can't torture it severely, right?
Tao Xuanzhi could only return without success, but his curiosity was obviously even heavier, and he even felt a shadow covered in his heart...
As Tao Xuanzhi's curiosity was as strong as Tao Xuanzhi's There are many people, but in fact, most of the big guys who can make achievements in mathematics are very curious.
The big guys are well-informed, not to mention that everyone gathered in the same place to attend the report meeting, so the news is undoubtedly more well-informed.
And mathematicians are actually like ordinary people, and news will inevitably have a little bit of exaggeration during the spread of them.
They are not only curious about the content of Qiao Yu's report, but also more curious about why Peter Schultz suddenly became so depressed.
After all, during the International Mathematician Conference, Qiao Yu solved the Riemann conjecture, and Peter Schultz was also one of the reviewers, and they just sent blessings, and everything was normal.
Who wouldn't want to know what the two of them were talking about, so that Peter Schultz suddenly broke the defense?
So when Lott Dugan came to the Centennial Lecture Hall in advance and entered the VIP room through the invitation code that had already been booked in advance last night, I saw many people, but I didn’t see today’s protagonist Qiao Yu.
Lort Dugan, who has been busy understanding the national conditions of China these two days, has solved his doubts, even more confused?
What? Have you rented a car on a trip these two days? Why did you pick them all and come here early this morning? The report meeting is about to begin. What fun is this?
Fortunately, the people who were resting in the VIP room were all acquaintances, and even Pierre Derini was there.
After Lot Dugan greeted several people, he immediately came to Pierre Delini and asked, "Why are you here too?"
Pierre Delini looked at Lott Dugan speechlessly and asked strangely: "Why can't I come?"
Lott Dugan explained with a laugh and cry: " I don't mean that. You know, I haven't stayed at Yanbei these two days. Have you never met Qiao Yu here before, and you have to come here in advance? There are other people..." br>
Pierre Delini smiled and said, "You know so many people are waiting here in advance, so guess why?"
Lot Dugan wrinkled Frowning and said in surprise, "Have you ever seen each other these two days?"
Pierre Delini nodded, and then added concisely: "It's not just that, Qiao Yu and Peter Shu After chatting for a whole day, Erz started to thank guests behind closed doors. Peter Schultz was in a bad state and even began to doubt whether he was suitable for math."
This sentence has too much information and a great impact, even more than the conclusion he came to wander around in China these two days, which directly made Lott Dugan stunned. Know what to say.
What a joke?
Who is Peter Schultz?
A genius mathematician who was highly praised by the West was hired by Bonn as the highest W3 professor at the age of 24, becoming one of the youngest full professors in Germany. Under thirty-five years old, I almost won all kinds of math awards.
In 2013, he won the Ramanujin Award; in 2015, he won the Cole Number Theory Award and the Fermat Award; in 2016, he won the Leibniz Award; in 2018, he won the Fields Award...< br>
Mozart, known by the academic community as the mathematics community; the leader of the algebraic geometric revolution!
Lort Dugan felt that his brain had never been as poor as today, because he really couldn't think of what such a person had talked to Qiao Yu, which would make him feel that he might not have Suitable for math.
International jokes are not like this.
Lough Dugan subconsciously looked around the VIP room, but he did not see Peter Schultz. "What did they talk about?" After a while, Lot Dugan asked in an amazement.
"How do I know? I came with you, and they met when we were still on the plane. Besides, if I knew, I wouldn't join in the fun at this time." Pierre Derini sighed.
He regretted it, he should have come one day earlier. So that he could meet with Peter Schultz and Qiao Yu.
Although he looked calm at this time, he actually felt like many people only scratching his heart.
It would be good to know what the two of them were talking about one second earlier.
"If you can't see Qiao Yu, you can always see Schultz, just go and ask him!"
"The problem is that he refuses to say anything when he dies. He is forced to turn against others and turns his back on others. What can you do? Don't think that you are the editor-in-chief of the Mathematics Annual Journal, people already doubt whether you are suitable for math, and they will still care about your face. ? ”
Pierre Derini sneered.
Lough Dugan was ashamed that his identity as the editor-in-chief of the Mathematics Annual in front of Peter Schultz was indeed not very good at all, and it had nothing to do with whether he continued to study mathematics.
As long as there are no obvious loopholes in the field award, many journals are rushing to get papers. Not to mention that Peter Schultz is still in his battle years.
Which journal editor will offend such a big shot if you have nothing to do?
"So everyone is waiting for Qiao Yu just to find out what he was talking about with Peter Schultz?" Lott Dugan said this for a long time. "Aren't you curious?" Pierre Derini asked back.
Lot Dugan was speechless.
Then nodded honestly and said, "I'm very curious! I'm so curious that I'm almost crazy! Isn't Qiao Yu not here early in the morning, right? It's almost nine o'clock, and half past nine o'clock The report meeting began. "
Pierre Delini nodded silently, stood up with some annoyance, and said, "I'll go find the field."
"I'll go with you!" Lott Dugan also stood up. The sudden movements of the two immediately attracted a lot of attention, but before anyone could ask questions, the person they were looking for hurriedly walked into the VIP room where they settled.
Yes, they don’t need to look for it, Tian Yanzhen came on his own initiative.
Then the eyes that were originally paying attention to the two immediately focused on Tian Yanzhen.
…
Tian Yanzhen only felt like a bag at this time.
After Qiao Yu talked with Peter Schultz, he naturally knew Peter Schultz's abnormal reaction long ago.
He could guess what the two talked about was probably related to the project that Qiao Yu had recently applied for. Most likely it is about electronic computer quantum simulations.
But he really didn't know what he talked about.
Others thought he could contact Qiao Yu, but the fact is that Qiao Yu told me that he had gained a lot. He had to do his best in the past two days and then turn off his phone... br>
Yes, it's closed! It is hard for Tian Yanzhen to go to Qiao Yu. What if it delays the breakthrough of his students?
What's even more outrageous is that I finally contacted him yesterday. I knew that he had gone to the computer room rented by Xiyu Technology Company. I also said that I would come early this morning, but I suddenly called him again... …
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Because I have to wait for a result, I have to come here later. I made an appointment yesterday morning to meet with several big guys and will change it after the report meeting.
Really, Tian Yanzhen was almost crazy after hearing this!
It doesn’t matter whether you meet these big guys in the morning. The key is that the report meeting cannot be delayed!
But before he could ask if he could arrive on time at 9:30, the other person hung up the phone. Then no one cares whether it is calling or sending WeChat...
What can he do?
I could only suppress my anxiety and called Mr. Yuan.
Fortunately, the old man said, "You must believe in Qiao Yu, he knows the importance of it!"
This sentence made Tian Yanzhen feel a little relieved, and then he could only come and wipe Qiao Yu's butt with an extremely big head. "Everyone, I'm sorry, because there are some emergencies. Qiao Yu can only come here when the report meeting begins. You don't have to wait here anymore. You can go to the lecture hall first."
At this time, the VIP room is the kind of boss who has already arranged the front seats. It’s the kind that even if you come late, you won’t be able to find a seat because there are too many people.
But at this time, I could only look at each other here, I couldn't figure out what the situation was, and I was about to go crazy!
The report meeting is about to begin. Suddenly there is an emergency. Will it affect the report meeting? What is the situation?
However, before everyone could catch up with Tian Yanzhen, Qiao Yu's mentor spoke again: "Everyone, I'm sorry, I have to contact Qiao Yu. I can't let him be late for a report later. That's really an accident. ”
It makes sense, and with Ueda Yanma's tone with a hint of anxiety, everyone was stunned.
I can only watch Tian Yanzhen come in a hurry and then leave...
Lort Dugan was completely stunned, and I felt that this trip to China was everywhere. Weird, he subconsciously looked at Pierre Derini and asked nonsense.
"Then what should we do?"
"What else can I do? Go to the hall and don't attend the report meeting?"
...
...
In addition to the century-old lecture hall, in addition to many mathematicians entering in an orderly manner, There are many reporters guarding the entrances, hoping to gain something.
After all, for journalists, neither the Riemann Joe's theorem nor the youngest Fields Medal winners have completely dissipated.
Everyone hopes to take this opportunity to interview a big shot.
If you are lucky enough to block Qiao Yu’s interview one or two questions, it is naturally the best. Qiao Yu is not short of traffic now. Even if this hope is slim.
Even if you can't interview Qiao Yu, if you can stop a big-name mathematician, it would be nice to have a few sentences on the interview.
Everyone likes to listen to these foreign mathematicians praising Qiao Yu, and they must have traffic.
It would be even better if it is scolding or losing. Although everyone doesn't like to listen, it can cause controversy, and even War of verbal traffic is even greater.
It's a pity that it's difficult. At present, these mathematicians are very conservative.
Moreover, some well-informed journalists also learned the story of Peter Schultz and Qiao Yu after meeting, which was even more exciting.
If you can interview any of the two in advance, it will be big news.
Unfortunately, they are likely to be disappointed. As the time for the report meeting is approaching, fewer and fewer people stay outside the Centennial Auditorium.
They never saw Qiao Yu and Peter Schultz.
Okay, this seems normal too.
Maybe there is still an internal passage that they don’t know about in the Centennial Auditorium?
At this time it was already nine-twenty, and the invited mathematicians had basically entered the venue.
The reporters finally lost their patience and began to enter the venue.
Although I definitely don’t understand, it’s good to take more shots. After all, it is not easy to get a ticket.
And this report was full of topics.
Of course, there are also people guarding outside the door with the last glimmer of hope. ,
Sometimes luck really means being attached to those who like to look forward to miracles, although many times their ideas are a bit unrealistic.
Just five minutes left before the report meeting, a black sedan parked directly on the front floor of the Centennial Auditorium.
Then a teenager with a bag on his arm pushed open the car door, holding the phone in the other hand.
The reporter who was still stuck outside the door recognized the boy immediately, and his body was even faster than his brain, and rushed over immediately.
"Dr. Qiao, Dr. Qiao, I heard that after you talked with Professor Schultz, Professor Schultz had the idea of retirement. What did you talk about? Will these content be reflected in today's report meeting? "
The boy who was huddling his head and rushed towards the Centennial Auditorium suddenly stopped, looked at the reporter who had been stopped by the security guard at the door, and asked curiously: "Who are you listening to Professor Schultz had the idea of retreating? "
"Many mathematicians say so." The reporter responded immediately.
"Haha, nothing happened. Professor Schultz was just feeling a little depressed at most because he knew that I was going to nail a nail to the coffin board of the old math today! Sorry, I'm going to be late. Have a chance Let’s talk again.”
After saying that, Qiao Yu rushed into the Centennial Lecture Hall.
It took another minute and if you don’t hurry up, he will be really late!
