Chapter 148: Delignes learning talent that shocked him(2/2)
"Study scholarship?"
Deligne nodded and said: "Well, when I went through the admission procedures for you, I applied for a full scholarship for you. You can take it to the Academic Affairs Office later and your tuition will be exempted.
As well as accommodation fees, a sum of 100,000 meters will be given for living expenses, which can be used as daily living allowance."
After a pause, Professor Deligne added: "Of course, with your grades, you can apply by yourself."
Holding the student aid award in his hand, Xu Chuan thanked Professor Deligne.
But neither he nor Deligne cared about this.
Although it is difficult to obtain Princeton's assistantship, which includes stipends, scholarships, and full scholarships that waive tuition and fees, competition is fierce, especially at the doctoral level.
After all, Princeton University tuition is ridiculously expensive.
Not to mention the doctoral level, the tuition fee for the undergraduate level alone exceeds 50,000 yuan per year. If converted, it is 350,000 yuan per year.
In addition to tuition fees, there are also accommodation fees, meals, other miscellaneous fees, etc.
All added up, the annual tuition fee for studying alone is at least 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, almost 500,000 y.
Ordinary families simply cannot afford such high tuition fees.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The full scholarship can reduce all tuition and fees, accommodation fees, and give you an extra living allowance, so it will naturally be competed by countless people.
However, applications for the full scholarship are also made on a per-person basis.
For Xu Chuan, he is qualified to directly serve as a full professor at Princeton, and he can write applications and letters of recommendation to other students. Now he is admitted as a doctoral student, with a full scholarship. As long as he applies, Princeton will definitely approve it.
, it doesn’t matter how strict the review system is.
For a genius boy who can prove world-class mathematical conjectures at the age of eighteen, no matter which school he goes to, scholarship, etc., he is almost destined.
Even if he doesn't want it, the school will push it into his arms.
........
After handling these trivial matters, Xu Chuan settled down at Princeton University and began to concentrate on perfecting the calculation method of the "proton radius mystery".
If you are an ordinary doctoral student, after you find a supervisor, you will definitely find jobs as a teaching assistant, scientific research experiment assistant, etc.
Xu Chuan was no exception. Professor Deligne arranged for him to be a teaching assistant, but he did not impose any restrictions on the teaching assistant's time. He was asked to give priority to completing Professor Witten's requirements before proceeding.
Deligne is not worried that this student will waste his mathematical knowledge. Although the problem of "the mystery of the proton radius" belongs to the world of physics, since the starting point of Xu Chuan's research is mathematics, it ultimately belongs to the study of mathematics.
The days passed like this, and in the blink of an eye, it was early July.
During this month, Xu Chuan, in addition to perfecting the calculation method of "The Mystery of the Proton Radius" every day, also learned other mathematical knowledge from Professor Deligne.
Xu Chuan mainly wanted to learn number theory and differential equations, and the old professor occasionally taught him some mathematics in algebraic geometry.
After all, I studied under Mr. Grothendieck, the Pope of algebraic geometry, so algebraic geometry can be said to be a required course.
After more than a month of study, Xu Chuan had a deeper understanding of his mathematics tutor.
There was nothing wrong with his choice.
Although this mentor has been known as the Pope's student all his life, which is both an honor and an inescapable tragedy. However, this old man's knowledge is really broad and boundless, giving people a sense of depth with no end in sight.
Over the past month, almost all the various problems he encountered while studying number theory were answered and inspired by this old man.
Xu Chuan was surprised by Professor Deligne's knowledge, and Professor Deligne was also surprised, even shocked by Xu Chuan's talent.
During this month, Xu Chuan mainly learned analytic number theory from him, without any cover-up in front of him.
At the beginning, this young genius still had many misunderstandings and ignorance about analytic number theory.
But in just one month, I was able to use multiplicative number theory to study the properties of product generating functions with him in analytic number theory, and to discuss the issue of prime number distribution.
Although multiplicative number theory is only a part of analytic number theory, it still shocked him greatly.
He is worthy of being a young genius who solved a world-class conjecture at the age of eighteen. His terrifying learning speed and mathematical talent can be said to be the first person he has encountered in his decades of teaching at Princeton.
Even Terence Tao, who is known as the "Mozart of Mathematics", showed a talent for mathematics when he was studying at Princeton, which was slightly inferior to this young man.
