Chapter 555

Unlike the joyful atmosphere of Yan University Mathematics Institute, after the QS World University Mathematics Rankings were released this year, another place was bleak.

United States, Princeton Town, Princeton Institute of Advanced Mathematics.

In a conference room that brings together senior leaders of the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University and industry leaders, everyone is silent and silent.

The little assistant who came over to change the tea and saw the stern bosses in the conference room, and then felt the depressing atmosphere in the conference room. The hand holding the teapot almost unstable and let go directly.

After pouring tea into the cup in front of the big guys in the Shuanggu Station, the assistant hurriedly pushed open the door of the conference room and left.

So scary!

After walking out of the conference room, the little assistant leaned against the corridor, covering his heart's pounding chest.

Bang~!

Interior of the conference room.

Sitting in the main seat, an old man with a majestic face and two beards knocked heavily on the table with a snap.

Can anyone tell me why our Princeton Mathematics Department fell to second place this year?

Solomon Melante.

This is the name of this tough old man, and he is also the current director of the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University.

Although at first glance, Director Solomon is the image of a thin and weak little old man.

But everyone who is familiar with Director Solomon knows how terrifying the power it contains under his small body.

Director Solomon was once a legendary figure.

In the field of academic research, Director Solomon's level can only be considered average.

For major international mathematical awards, Director Solomon only has one Cole number theory award to serve as a face-to-face.

As for the Fields Medal, which represents the world of mathematics, Director Solomon did not even get the qualification to be nominated.

Although he is not very good at academic research, Director Solomon is a good at managing the college.

After Solomon served as the head of Princeton’s mathematics department, he quickly implemented a pretty bold teaching reform plan.

Solomon asked the students to decide whether to go to class.

Course scores don't make any sense in the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University.

The standard for scholarships is no longer course grades.

Director Solomon's only request for his students was to attend afternoon tea parties every day, where they would meet the most amazing mathematicians in the world.

This nearly stocking model seemed to be a subversive tradition at the time, but later facts proved that Princeton was extremely suitable for such an educational model.

Because students who can get close to Princeton University have a high level of self-consciousness in their studies and will not stop studying because they do not have the requirements of grades.

Moreover, there are many top mathematicians of the world at Princeton University, which allows students to ask questions at any time, and even stay under a mathematician for a period of research on the subject.

besides

The graduation conditions of Princeton University's Department of Mathematics are quite harsh.

Before a student writes a graduation thesis, the most important thing is to find a professor with high qualifications to support his choice

The topic.

Teachers in the entire mathematics department know a lot about students if they think a student is really incapable of completing it.

If it becomes his own question, Director Solomon will change his mentor or simply ask him to leave without hesitation.

Therefore, students who pass the total exam usually get a doctorate degree in two or three years, while those in other top universities, such as Haval MIT, take six or seven years, or even longer.

Princeton gives students the greatest pressure and the least control.

And it turns out that this model is quite successful.

Every student who graduates from Princeton University will become the target of competition among major universities and academic research institutions around the world.

Not only that

In addition to greatly increasing the value of Prince's graduates, Director Solomon also made an indelible contribution in the process of "Mathematics Annual" becoming the first of the four major mathematics journals.

As mentioned before.

Many years ago, the influence of "Mathematics Annual" was not very strong.

It is OK in the United States, but its global influence is limited. In addition, the Princeton Institute of Advanced Mathematics has not devoted much energy to this journal, which makes the Mathematics Annual not even ranked the top ten journals in the mathematics community.

But after Director Solomon took office, he quickly realized how important an independent academic journal of his own was.

With the opposition, Director Solomon let "Mathematics Journal" be ranked first among the four major journals in mathematics in just over a decade based on the Princeton University platform.

In addition to these two items, Director Solomon also made many contributions to the development of Princeton's mathematics department.

It can be said that Director Solomon has made an indelible contribution to the rise of Princeton's mathematics department and has been ranked first for three consecutive years.

But now, the old man was slamming the table angrily.

Can anyone tell me that our Princeton Mathematics Department will fall to second place? Director Solomon's majestic gaze scanned the crowd in the conference room.

No one answered!

Everyone looked at the nose and the nose, but no one was the first to speak to the bad temper of this old man who was already irritable.

Bean, tell me. Seeing that no one answered, Director Solomon directly called out.

Bean, who was named, is a middle-aged man in his forties, and has a very low status in the conference room.

But when facing Director Solomon, Professor Bean had a deep fear in his eyes.

Yes, it's Isaac, yes, it's Isaac! If Isaac hadn't left, we at Princeton University wouldn't have fallen second! Professor Bean's voice was trembling.

The Isaac mentioned by Professor Bean is the Philippine Award winner who was poached by Haval University.

Professor Solomon, Isaac, pinched his beard and pulled a strange smile on his face. Unexpectedly, this guy personally nurtured from our college would betray us like this. But that's fine. Since you have chosen the backboard, you must be prepared to bear the consequences of the betrayal.

There is also Gu Lu. At this time, someone mentioned it.

Gu Lu!

Hearing the name Gu Lu, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly solidified.

Several big shots showed extremely painful expressions at the same time.

To be honest, the emotions of Gu Lu and Princeton are very complicated.

Gu Lu studied at their Princeton during his postgraduate studies, and he was a good graduate of their Princeton.

However, in the face of Gu Lu's many achievements, the princesses at Princeton are not very happy.

after all

Gu Lu currently works at Yenching University in China.

It's not them Princeton.

If Gu Lu is now working for their Princeton, even if Isaac leaves and Gu Lu makes up for this vacancy, Princeton's position as the first in mathematics department will not be shaken.

But unfortunately there is no if.
Chapter completed!
