Chapter 447 Providence

American Mathematical Society, referred to as AMS.

Together with the American Mathematical Association, or MAA, they are the two giant organizations of the American Mathematical Union.

Of course, the ability to become the two major organizations with great discourse power in the American mathematics community is not only due to the advantage of a large number of people.

More, it is because of the contribution of AMS and MAA to mathematics research and mathematics education in the United States.

And this, of course, cannot do without the leadership of each chairman.

Just like Professor Francis, the current chairman of MAA that Chen Zhou knows.

The career he is committed to breaking barriers and pursuing the five basic needs of mathematics is not to say that it is not noble.

MAA has a chairman like Francis, and AMS naturally has one.

The establishment of the Cole Award is to commemorate Professor Frank Nelson Cole who has served the American Mathematical Society for 25 years.

Chen Zhou was on his way to Providence at this time, but he didn't go by plane.

AMS is headquartered in Providence.

This is the capital of Rhode Island, the United States, and the seat of Brown University, one of the famous private Ivy universities.

At the beginning, Chen Zhou was indeed planning to take a plane and fly directly from Boston.

He even bought the plane ticket.

However, before he set off, he was "refunded" by two warm-hearted brothers.

The news about Chen Zhou's winning of the Cole Prize in Number Theory went viral during this time.

Not only abroad, but even domestically.

Although Chen Zhou didn't pay attention to the news in this regard, the reports of various domestic news media can be said to be solid, pushing Chen Zhou up a wave.

Chen Zhou's popularity in China has also reached its peak.

When Chen Zhou solved mathematical conjectures before, various media and people who eat melons were guessing whether he could win some mathematics awards.

But in the end, instead of waiting for Chen Zhou to win the prize, it was the big news that he killed three mathematical conjectures in a row.

This made the media and the people who eat melons even more excited, and they also looked forward to whether Chen Zhou could win any mathematics awards.

The Fields Medal is not extravagant, but the others, after all, still have this ability?

Not to mention foreign countries, there are also many mathematics awards in China?

They didn't believe that Chen Zhou couldn't get any of them.

They too have been waiting.

Until recently, the news that Chen Zhou won the Cole Prize in Number Theory finally spread to China.

For this long-awaited news, naturally, the various media and people who eat melons are completely overwhelmed.

If Chen Zhou opened Weibo now and went up to take a look.

He will find out why there are so many news about him.

Moreover, some people listed domestic and foreign mathematics awards, one by one, asking whether Chen Zhou could win the award.

It has to be said that Chen Zhou has successfully gained the attention and expectations of countless people in Huaguo.

Because of this, Yenching University started to prepare as soon as it got the news.

There are so many foreign students from Yenching University outside, so why not arrange a wave for Chen Zhou?
Although the Cole Prize in Number Theory is not comparable to the Fields Medal, it is still the highest award in the field of number theory.

Moreover, this is the first time that Huaguo's own mathematician has won this award.

Therefore, Yanda decided to contact the international students here to help Chen Zhou arrange to receive the award.

Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu became the best candidates because of their previous MIT academic exchanges.

Regarding this, Chen Zhou can only say that Dean Sun and the others are too polite.

Although I am still a student of Yan University, it is not good to always use the school's public funds for "traveling", isn't it?

Thinking so, Chen Zhou took the initiative to convey the arrangement to the two brothers who came to the door, and asked if they were responsible for buying the tickets.

Hearing Chen Zhou's question, Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu were stunned at the same time.

After asking about Chen Zhou's situation, they were a little dumbfounded.

The headquarters of AMS, which is Providence, is only about 70 kilometers away from Boston in a straight line. Where do you need to buy a plane to go...

Most people choose to take the bus or take the train to Providence.

And it's only an hour's drive by train, and the fare is only more than 100 yuan.

After being reminded by the two of them, Chen Zhou finally came to his senses.

No wonder the air ticket is so cheap...

In the end, after friendly negotiation, the three decided to drive there.

In this case, it will be more convenient along the way.

Liu Maosheng's car was bought as soon as he came to the United States.

The price of buying a car abroad, relatively speaking, will be much cheaper.

Moreover, this car has also greatly improved the life of picking up girls between him and Zeng Zigu.

On the way, Liu Maosheng also suggested to Chen Zhou: "Chen Zhou, now that you are familiar with the life here, do you want to buy a trolley? It will be more convenient for you and Yiyi to go out to play in the future. And the car has many functions... ..."

Chen Zhou didn't understand the other party's meaning at first, but just replied: "Don't think about it for now, let's talk about it next year."

After Liu Maosheng chatted with Zeng Zigu, Chen Zhou suddenly realized.

Fuck, are you two people like this? !
However, Chen Zhou's desire to buy a car was also aroused.

Among other things, when Yang Yiyi came back from LIGO, Chen Zhou could drive to pick her up by himself.

Thinking about it, I was a little excited.

Chen Zhou and the others set off from MIT at 19:1 pm on the [-]th.

After exactly an hour's drive, they arrived in Providence.

According to the information in the invitation letter, Chen Zhou and the others came to the hotel where they stayed, the Providence Hotel.

AMS will host a mathematical academic exchange at its headquarters in Providence and conduct the award ceremony of the Cole Prize in Number Theory.

Originally, AMS planned to hold this academic exchange and the award ceremony of the Cole Prize in Princeton, but unfortunately, Princeton was preempted.

An academic exchange conference on high-energy physics is being held, and this academic exchange cannot be carried out at the same time.

After getting the news, AMS simply held this academic exchange meeting at its headquarters.

At the front desk of the hotel, Chen Zhou showed the invitation letter he had received.

The lady at the front desk immediately checked in Chen Zhou and gave her a sweet smile.

But Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu were not so lucky.

The two of them did not have an invitation letter issued by AMS, so they could only stay at their own expense.

AMS did not book out the entire hotel for the winners and their family and friends to stay.

Only mathematicians who have received invitations to participate will pay for the room fees that AMS will live in.

The rest of the people who come here spontaneously or organized to participate are all at their own expense.

Fortunately, Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu were entrusted by Yanda University, even if the room here costs about a thousand yuan a night, they don't have to pay too much attention to it.

However, AMS's approach still made the two complain for a long time.

Of course, when the two complained, the object of comparison was the Nobel Prize.

It is said that when the Nobel Prize is awarded, the relatives and friends of the winner will be properly arranged.

There is absolutely no need for the winners to spend any more effort on their own.

How does it look like this AMS...
