In the evening, the plane landed at Charles de Gaulle Airport in France. When he walked out of the aisle with the flow of people, the driver from the Four Seasons Hotel in Paris was already waiting there holding a sign.

The driver's superb driving skills and the superior performance of the vehicle meant that he could hardly feel any bumps. After arriving at the hotel, he took a short break and went to le-cinq restaurant to taste French national treasure chef Philippe Le-Cinq, known as the "God of Food".

Rang De's craftsmanship seems to be slightly higher than that of the Master Bousson whom he met with Patrice and Yangyang in New York last time.

Although the hotel is only a stone's throw away from the famous Champs Elysées, Lu Qiujian was not interested in the luxury goods on that street at all! So after dinner, he went to the gym to exercise, and then went back to his room to rest and get rid of jet lag.

When he woke up early the next morning, Lu Qiujian packed up and called the hotel front desk to call a car and prepared to start his first job in Europe.

The current mathematics community has two centers. One is in the United States, with Princeton as the core, plus partner universities such as Harvard and Stanford;

Lavercourt, one of the Fields Medal winners, worked here, and Grothendieck also spent a lot of time here.

These two centers represent the current highest level of mathematics in the world. Three other countries, such as the United Kingdom, Germany, and Lucia, can be counted as the second level; then China, Neon, Natalie's homeland Israel, India and other countries can

Counted as the third level.

So now that I have come to Europe, I should go to the French Ecole Supérieure des Sciences no matter what. What’s more, Laurent Laforge is also studying the Langlands Program, and Lu Qiujian also wants to communicate with him about the Langlands Program.

Latest research progress.

On the way to the French Institute of Advanced Sciences, Lu Qiujian suddenly remembered a very funny thing. Lu Qiujian had long thought about why French mathematics was so good. After he arrived in France, he finally found some reason.

.

The number expressions in French are so frustrating. 76 is not pronounced seventy-six! It is pronounced sixty plus sixteen! 96 is not pronounced ninety-six, but four twenties plus sixteen are pronounced! Phone numbers are always two digits.

Say the number! 176988472 instead of 176988472! Say one hundred plus sixty plus sixteen, four twenty plus eighteen, four twenty plus four, sixty plus twelve

ah!

This also perfectly explains why French men prefer to go straight to the point when striking up a conversation, instead of asking for a phone number first and then communicating slowly. Who the hell can remember such a perverted number?

Living in such a cruel language environment, you can still be interested in entering the mathematics department. You must be a genius and full of love for mathematics. It is unscientific to fail to achieve results.

The Laforge that Lu Qiujian was going to visit this time graduated from the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris and became a tenured mathematics professor at the French Ecole Supérieure des Sciences four years ago.

When he thought of this, Lu Qiujian wanted to complain again. The names of those awesome universities in France all sounded so frustrating! What the Ecole Normale Supérieure! What the University of Paris VI! What the University of Paris XI! If only Yangyang’s mother could hear it.

, and one should think that the status of these schools in France is equivalent to the second-tier universities in the country.

But the fact is that the University of Paris 11 is the number one prestigious university in continental Europe! How can it be that the University of Paris 6 is also in the top 50 in the world! There are only more than 2,000 students at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris. It’s just Princeton’s.

A quarter of the total, but it has produced 11 Nobel Prize winners, 10 Fields Medal winners, 4 Wolf Prize winners and one Abel Prize winner!

"Sir, there is a senior scientific researcher ahead!" The car slowly slowed down, and the driver's reminder interrupted his thinking.

Lu Qiujian looked at the gate of the institute not far away and said, "I estimate that I will stay here for a long time. You can find a coffee shop nearby to kill time. I will call you before leaving."

The driver put Lu Qiujian down and waited until he reached the entrance of the gate before slowly driving out. When he arrived at the gate, Lu Qiujian saw an old man with half of his hair lost in the guard room, who was concentrating on reading the latest issue.

"Journal of Mathematics".

Um, can the guard understand this? Is the French Institute of Advanced Sciences so powerful? Lu Qiujian sweated a little, and then gently knocked on the window of the guard room.

"What brings you here?" The old man raised his head and asked slowly.

"I'm looking for Mr. La Foge and want to communicate with him!" Lu Qiujian replied.

Hearing the name of Lafo Pavilion, the old man's expression changed slightly, but he did not let Lu Qiujian directly in. "Which school are you a student from? It seems that you are still studying for undergraduate degree?"

"I come from the Capital University in China, and I just graduated half a month ago!" I wonder if he will be like a guard at the Institute of Mathematics and ask him to do the test questions?

"Capital University?" The old man seemed to have made a decision after hearing the name, "Young man, if you want to go in and visit, please choose the time when it is open to the public; Mr. Lafuge is very busy. I'm afraid I don't have time to satisfy your curiosity! And!

You have just finished your undergraduate degree, don’t you think it’s too early to want to communicate with Mr. Laforge now?”

Obviously he regarded Lu Qiujian as a fan of La Forge, but considering his age, Lu Qiujian did not argue with him. "I have obtained two doctorates from Beijing Normal University and Princeton.

Degree, I have communicated with Mr. Laforge before. Please tell Mr. Laforge my name. If he refuses, I will leave immediately!"

"A doctor from Princeton?" The old man's tone showed respect. He quickly put down the magazine and stood up, walked out of the guard room, and came to Lu Qiujian's side. "I have never met such a young doctor from Princeton. Can I ask your name?

?”

"Lv Qiujian! Last October in the capital of China, I met Mr. Laforge. I believe he still remembers me!" Lu Qiujian shook his head slightly helplessly. The name Princeton is more useful!

Lu Qiujian? This name seems familiar. The old man frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, enthusiastically held Lu Qiujian's right hand and shook it violently, "So you are the one who cracked the Poincaré conjecture.

Mr. Lu Qiujian! I will take you to Mr. Lafuge's office right now. I believe he will be very happy to see you!"

Tea, serve tea, serve good tea! The old man’s consecutive changes in attitude reminded Lu Qiujian of this allusion! I have enjoyed Zheng Banqiao’s treatment today! (~^~)

ps: Note: There are many versions of the protagonist of this story. Some say Su Dongpo, some say Xie Jin, and some say Bai Juyi. The details are no longer available. After thinking about it, the story finally said that the protagonist left a couplet:

Sit down, please sit down, please take your seat, tea upon tea upon tea, I won’t say whether the couplets conform to the common style; it seems that the literati of the Tang and Song dynasties were not very popular in doing this, so I still feel that Zheng Banqiao’s era is more in line with it.

Today’s joke comes from the story of a doctor with a degree in Middle East studies. After getting his degree, the doctor excitedly went to work in a research institute. On the first day of work, he was stopped by the guard and asked, “Do you understand Arabic?” The doctor couldn’t understand, but the guard

Shaking his head, he was a Middle Eastern student who didn't understand Arabic and studied wool. Later he found out that the guard was the former director of the institute. He was the academic version of the story of the sweeping monk.
