Chapter 359 Talking

As the turmoil continued to expand, the name Cheng Nuo gradually came into everyone's attention.

Originally, they thought it was some obscure mathematician of the same era as Professor Fang.

But after an investigation, it turned out that this Cheng Nuo was still a college student!

This surprised them!

This kind of high-level mathematics paper is hard to believe that it was written by a college student.

And he is still an undergraduate student.

This is simply unreasonable!When did undergraduates become so awesome? !
At this moment, I don't know how many Chinese mathematicians looked at the cover of the journal and sighed.

At the same time, countless calls were also made to Professor Fang.

One is to congratulate Professor Fang on his promotion of the top journal cover, and the other is naturally to inquire about Cheng Nuo.

"Oh, Lao Song, you mean Cheng Nuo? That's a student I just accepted last year. He has a very bright mind. Well, yes, that paper was written by only the two of us. No, no, nothing. If that kid only does some errands and odd jobs, I will write his name in the column of the author. To tell you the truth, the smooth completion of this thesis owes a lot to Cheng Nuo. Boy! I'm telling you..."

After hanging up the call from another old friend, Professor Fang picked up the tea cup and took a sip happily.

This feeling is indeed quite refreshing!

No wonder that kid Cheng Nuo likes to show off from time to time.

This is already the tenth call he has received today, and most of them are from the older generation of mathematicians of his generation.

He couldn't help but pay attention to Cheng Nuo, a newly rising "junior".

After listening to Professor Fang's description of Cheng Nuo's deeds, they undoubtedly did not have the idea of ​​seeking talents.

These days, it's very rare for Cheng Nuo, who is young, smart, and likes to pretend to be a three-hearted young man!

But Cheng Nuo had long been under Professor Fang's command. Some people could only be jealous, but there was nothing they could do.

Of course, it's not that no one has the idea of ​​prying the corner of the wall.Back then, Professor Tang from Fudan University did this at the awarding ceremony of the Shiingshen Chern Mathematics Prize.Of course, it didn't work out.

Professor Fang, who had not rested for a few minutes while sitting in the office, heard the phone on the table ring again.

"It's really impossible!"

Professor Fang smiled wryly and shook his head while answering the phone.

"Hi, I'm Fang Ruoyu." Fang Ruoyu said.

"I'm Qin He." An old but resonant voice came from the phone.

Qin He?Dean Qin of Peking University?
Professor Fang's figure froze, his eyes puzzled.

We don't know each other well, why is he calling me?
"I want to talk to you about Cheng Nuo." Before Professor Fang had time to ask, Dean Qin took the initiative to speak. "I heard that Cheng Nuo has graduated as an undergraduate this year?"

Professor Fang's heart sank.

Dean Qin's words mean... Could it be that he wants to poach the wall?

Professor Fang replied, "Well, with his talent, two years of undergraduate study is enough."

"Then your college should have made plans for Cheng Nuo's path after graduation." Dean Qin asked.

Professor Fang was silent for a few seconds, "The preliminary plan has been made."

Dean Qin: "Can you tell me conveniently?"

Professor Fang continued to remain silent.

On the other side of the phone, Dean Qin seemed to have seen through Professor Fang's thoughts, and he chuckled, "Don't worry, I don't want to poach the wall. Let Cheng Nuo stay in the country, it will be nothing to you, me, or the entire Huaguo mathematics community." Good. I just want to ask, which university did you arrange for Cheng Nuo?"

Professor Fang pondered for a few seconds, and after he understood, he slowly said, "Princeton University, I have already written a letter of introduction. Cheng Nuo's GPA is also good enough, and he should get an offer from Princeton soon."

This was the path arranged by Tsinghua School of Mathematics for Cheng Nuo.

First study for a Ph.D. at Princeton University, and then proceed to the next step.

Dean Qin smiled slightly, "Princeton? It's okay. However, I have another suggestion here. I wonder if you are interested in hearing it?"

"All ears." Professor Fang.

"The Ministry of Education has recently launched a plan to train outstanding talents abroad. One of the branches is to arrange some outstanding graduate students from China to go abroad to serve as assistants to those big names in the academic world." Dean Qin said calmly.

"And this thing? Will those academic experts agree?" Professor Fang asked.

Dean Qin smiled faintly, "When the money arrives, naturally everything will be fine."

Well, Professor Fang has nothing to say.

Dean Qin: "Guess who I saw in those lists of big names in academia?"

Professor Fang was very cooperative, "Who?"

"Professor Finev-Perelman from MIT!" Dean Qin said the name almost word for word.

After hearing this, Professor Fang was also surprised.

Professor Finev of MIT, when it comes to this name, everyone in the entire mathematics community knows it.

Fineev belongs to that kind of gifted mathematician. Although he is talented and arrogant in character, he has to say that he is really capable.

At the age of 20, he made his mark in the international mathematics circle. After publishing several high-quality papers on homogeneous spaces and symmetric spaces, and solving two small conjectures, he won the Fields Medal at the age of 28.

This is not the most tricky!

The most tricky thing is that when he was 33 years old, that is, in 2005, he pasted the manuscripts of three key papers on arXiv.org, a website that publishes preprinted papers in mathematics and physics.The content of the thesis is the proof method of the Poincaré conjecture.

The Poincaré conjecture, one of the seven mathematical conjectures of the millennium, is also the only conjecture that has been proven among the seven conjectures so far!

As one of the tallest mountains in the world, it is said that Fineev's position is not bad!

"What do you mean?" Professor Fang felt his heart beating faster.

"The Ministry of Education has a spot for Professor Finev to be an assistant. I wonder if you can snatch him up!" Dean Qin laughed. "Following an excellent mathematician can save you a lot of detours."

Knowing Dean Qin's intentions, Professor Fang nodded, "I see, I will discuss it with the dean!"

After hanging up the phone, Professor Fang frowned and hesitated for five or six minutes. Finally, he dialed a number, "Hey, Dean, it's me. I want to discuss something with you..."

…………

A week later, the matter was finalized.

Cheng Nuo was qualified to participate in the competition for Professor Fresnel’s assistant position.

That's right, it's just a qualification.

After all, Professor Fresnel's reputation is there. In terms of qualifications, there are not a few mathematicians who deserve this arrangement than Cheng Nuo.

After preliminary screening, it was determined that the number of people competing for the spot this time was 12!
A week later, a quiz will be passed to determine who belongs to the quota.
