One hundred and sixtieth chapters Chen Shishen (one thousand sixteen
Simmons left his followers in the car, and he and Lu Qiujian rang the doorbell of Mr. Chen's house. After going in and seeing Mr. Chen, Lu Qiujian felt relaxed. If he hadn't known it in advance, he might have
No one would have thought that the kind-hearted old man in front of him is the Chinese with the highest achievements in mathematics so far, right?
After listening to Simmons' introduction to Lu Qiujian, Mr. Chen nodded gently, "I heard Griffith talk about you and read your article! I also wanted to listen to the last report meeting, but unfortunately...
I can’t walk anymore!”
The Griffith he was talking about was Philip Griffith, who helped Lu Qiujian in the plagiarism incident at Yale. His academic career was deeply influenced by Chen Shengshen. Griffith also served as the Secretary-General of the World Mathematical Union.
I must have visited him when I came to listen to the report a while ago!
"I see that your body is still strong!" Lu Qiujian carefully observed his physical condition and sighed silently in his heart. This wise old man's health is not optimistic, but this is due to the laws of nature due to his old age.
He can't do anything to influence the result, he can only say a few nice words. Read the novel on Dao.com
"Old man!" Mr. Chen waved his hand and no longer dwelled on this topic. Instead, he talked about other things, "Princeton is a good place. I also stayed there for a while when I was young. After all, you are my junior.
!”
In the 1940s, he was invited by Veblen to work at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, and he could truly be regarded as Lu Qiujian's predecessor. Of course, even without such a relationship, Lu Qiujian would not weaken his respect for him at all.
The two couldn't help but talk about some of Princeton's deeds. Mr. Chen's language was simple and gentle, and he savored it carefully but contained profound meanings. This reminded Lu Qiujian of a folk legend about him.
Someone asked Mr. Chen why he is so famous and can achieve such great results; if ordinary people would talk about how hard they work, those who understand the policy would talk about the country and how caring the unit is. Those who are more arrogant will say that it is because he is smart, and Mr. Chen’s
The answer is unique.
He said, "I don't know why I am so famous. When I was studying, I had to write a thesis for graduation. I had to write it, because if I didn't write it, I wouldn't be able to graduate. I just wrote it, and then everyone said that my stuff was important, so
Let me continue reading. I don’t know why they all
I thought my stuff was so good, so I started studying mathematics. Research must produce some results, and my colleagues were also doing research, so I couldn’t be idle. So I published the results of my research, but everyone still said
My things are very important. As a result, I became famous."
They did not talk about any advanced mathematical problems, nor did they exchange the latest developments in the field of mathematics. The three of them talked about common and familiar interesting things like elders and juniors chatting with each other. More than an hour passed. The nanny was afraid that Mr. Chen was too tired, so he came up
interrupted their conversation.
After having lunch with Mr. Chen, the two of them said goodbye and left. When they came out, Simmons was a little sad, "Nothing in the world is more ruthless than time. Now I find that I seem to be a little old!"
"You are someone who can cross the Ozark Plateau alone!" Lu Qiujian recalled the encounter with him and comforted him, "This is something that many young men cannot do. You can still work for at least twenty years!
"
"I won't let myself work so hard!" Simmons shook his head and seemed to be in a better mood. "I plan to retire in 10 years. If you are willing to join Renaissance Company, you can take over my position!"
"I still think academic research seems more interesting!" Lu Qiujian once again rejected his invitation. "What are we doing now? Go back to the capital or somewhere else?"
"Come with me for a walk around the school! When I came to China the year before last, I just accompanied him to visit the capital, and I haven't seen much of the scenery here!" Simmons walked forward along the road, and the followers immediately
He stopped behind, and the driver slowly drove his car to follow him from a distance. Even Lu Qiujian's car was taken care of by someone.
It seems that he came to China the year before last to unveil the Chen-Simons apartment building donated to Shuimu University. Mr. Chen was born in Nanjing University and grew up at Shuimu University, then went to Europe and the United States to study, and finally gained great popularity in the United States, and finally returned to China.
He has made many contributions to the development of mathematics in China.
I remember that when he was studying with Cartan, he once said that young people should find the best people in this field when they want to learn. He did this whether he was at Beijing Normal University or Princeton. And now he can be considered one of them.
They are the best group in the field of mathematics today, so should we find some disciples to train and train them?
Today's scientific research is no longer the kind of era that could be completed by a genius more than a hundred years ago. If there are some suitable helpers, he can complete his plan faster. Lu Qiujian secretly made up his mind and thought about it.
I can mention it to Professor Zhang when I get back.
Forget it if you take care of graduate students. You have to go to Europe to study and don’t have that time. Moreover, the thinking patterns of graduate students have basically been formed. It is very troublesome to change their ideas. It is better to take care of them from undergraduates. If you can find out from the freshmen,
Young people with good potential are even better.
While thinking about this, I followed Simmons around for about three or four kilometers. Simmons waved and the motorcade slowly drove over, "Okay, let's go back!"
By the time he returned to the hotel, Simmons' sadness had been wiped away, and he had regained his shrewd temperament unique to a businessman. He drove his men out of the room, took out his computer, and said, "The algorithms are all in here."
, see what you can do for me?"
Lu Qiujian took over the computer, scrolled through it with the mouse, then closed his eyes and thought for a while, "No problem, according to my estimation, the algorithm you are currently using can be optimized, which will take about a week!"
"
"Oh? How is the effect of optimization?" Simmons felt pleasantly surprised and asked quickly.
"Increase efficiency by ten percent on the original basis!" Ten percent may not sound like much, but it can probably increase Simmons' profit by three or four points.
But multiplied by the huge amount of money at the disposal of Simons' Renaissance Company, the new annual profits will be an extremely huge number.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's start now!" Simmons couldn't help but get excited, rubbing his hands and saying, "What else do you need? I'll ask them to arrange it right now!"
Lu Qiujian did not start working directly, but looked at him with a smile, "Mr. Simmons, it seems that there is something unfinished before the work starts?" (To be continued.)
