Chapter 717

Bao Songquan handed Gu Lu a list of ten research team members.

Gu Lu took it and glanced at it.

When Gu Lu's eyes fell on the first name on the list, his face suddenly looked surprised.

"Alec!"

Gu Lu said these three words in a serious tone.

That's right.

One of the four mathematicians who decided to join Yanda and hold a full professorship was none other than Alec!

Gu Lu thought about many possibilities for the names of the four mathematicians.

But I really didn't expect it.

Alec's name will appear on this list.

Because he lost the bet two years ago, Alec was forced by Gu Luban to sign an employment contract and become a visiting professor at the School of Mathematics at Yanda.

But this time...

Gu Lu did not coerce Alec into anything.

Alec still chose to resign and teach at Yanda, which Gu Lu did not expect.

Visiting professor and full professor are two completely different positions.

A mathematician can serve as a visiting professor at multiple schools.

But as a formal professor, a mathematician can only work as a formal professor in one university.

and.

Alec's resignation from the original school means that he has offended the original school to some extent.

Once Alec is unsatisfied at Yan Da and wants to go back to his original school, most likely the original school will not accept Alec again.

For Alec, the risk factor is quite high.

"Alec is quite courageous this time!" Gu Lu muttered quietly as he looked at the list in his hand.

"Who says it's not the case!" Bao Songquan nodded in agreement.

To say that Bao Songquan’s biggest achievement this time is undoubtedly Alec.

After all, among this list of ten people, although the remaining nine are elite mathematicians in their respective fields, they are still one or two levels away from the top level.

And Alec is the only top-level mathematician among the ten people.

in the field of topology.

Alec is known as one of the geniuses, almost equal to Simon in the field of algebraic geometry.

Although in the research of this project, Alec was firmly suppressed by Professor Doyle and the leaders of several other module groups.

But in fact, in the entire field of topology, even if all the older generation of mathematicians are included, the number of people who can steadily suppress Alec will not exceed the number of hands.

As for the Mathematics Institute of Yan'an University, with the formal joining of such a mathematician, the improvement in its strength is definitely quite obvious.

"Then this time, we really made a profit!" Bao Songquan laughed.

"Killing two birds with one stone, the establishment of the unified theory project this time is quite meaningful." Gu Lu nodded.

This research group has not only completed the construction of a unified theory of geometry-algebra-topology, but also recruited such a large number of high-quality talents for the School of Mathematics at Yanda. This is killing two birds with one stone!

On the one hand, Gu Lu was happy for the Yan University of Science and Technology, and on the other hand, he was happy that it was getting closer and closer to the system's mission requirements.

…………

The other side.

Alec is in the apartment where Yanda temporarily lives.

While Gu Lu and Bao Songquan agreed that Yanda Shuyuan had made a profit, Alec also felt that he had made a profit.

Alec is not such a comfort-seeking person.

But at the same time, Alec is not a risk-taking and radical character.

The reason why Alex chose to resign from his original school this time and join the School of Mathematics at Yanda to teach was because of his own considerations.

His reasons are as follows.

First.

Alec believes that his development prospects will be limited if he continues to stay at his original school.

Alec is an authentic Danish mathematician.

As for Denmark's status in the entire mathematics community, it goes without saying that it is clear that it can only barely rank in the third echelon.

There is a long way to go even with countries like China and island countries, not to mention the gap with major mathematical powers such as the United States and Germany.

Alec previously taught at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark.

The University of Copenhagen is currently the number one university in Denmark in terms of comprehensive strength.

Looking at the world, the University of Copenhagen can only be ranked in the 90s, barely entering the top 100 in the world.

If Alec had continued to stay at the University of Copenhagen, he could have made further progress and even had the slightest hope of competing for the Fields Medal, but that was all.

In this life, it is basically impossible for him to stand at the top of the pyramid in the mathematical world.

To put it simply, the pond in Denmark is too small to accommodate his fish, which longs for the golden carp to transform into a dragon.

Especially during this period, after being attacked by Professor Doyle, who was in the same research group and in the same field, in all aspects of dimensionality reduction, Alec understood this truth.

so.

For subsequent development, it is very necessary to change the gate.

But……

After leaving his original school, where will Alec go?

This has to be mentioned as the second reason why Alec chose to join the Institute of Mathematical Sciences at Yanda.

It stands to reason.

As a top mathematician like Alec, no matter where he goes after resigning, even in places like the United States and Ying, he will be scrambled for him.

But why did Alec choose Yanda Shuyuan?

And this was still the case when there was a former deadly opponent like Gu Lu in the Yan Dashu Academy.

The reason is simple.

Because Alec foresaw the rapid rise of Yan Dashu Academy.

The opportunity for its rise lies in the unified theory of geometry, algebra and topology.

It is foreseeable.

After the grand unified theory of geometry-algebra-topology is recognized by everyone in the mathematical community, it will surely arouse the intense research efforts of countless mathematicians.

But as one of the creators of the unified theory of geometry, algebra and topology, Alec clearly understands how difficult it is to fully integrate this theory.

That's when.

It is inevitable for mathematicians to communicate and discuss with each other and even exchange research results.

Where should we choose the venue for exchange seminars and results exchange meetings?

He will definitely go to Yan University in China.

After all, Hua Guoyan University is the birthplace of the unified theory of geometry, algebra and topology, and there is also the existence of Gu Lu, the "father of the unified theory".

Yes, in the outside world, Gu Lu already has the title of 'Father of Unified Theory'. As long as he waits for the verification results from the four major journals to come out, Gu Lu's title can be fully confirmed.

In short.

In the future, countless mathematicians will gather in the School of Mathematics at Yanda.

The School of Mathematics at Yanda University will naturally become the center of geometry, algebra, and topology in the minds of mathematicians around the world.

You know, there are only a few branches of mathematics, and the School of Mathematics at Yanda has taken over three of them in one breath. It is difficult to think about whether it will rise or not.

What Alec wants is to get on the express train before Yanda Shuyuan shows its rise.

after.
