From top stream to scholar

"It seems that I am quite important." Yu Wanzhou said jokingly, "I didn't expect to hold a welcome party just for me."

"Then you must be very important." Lin Wei said, "Although there are many professors in Princeton University who have won the Fields Medal, every professor who wins the Fields Medal is very precious. This is all from the school. Wealth, you have already won the Fields Medal before you read your Ph.D. Everyone knows that your achievements will definitely be greater in the future. This is what Princeton University attaches importance to, and you also know that Princeton University is usually a genius and the land of madmen."

"You are such a dazzling genius, of course Princeton University and our group of Chinese Americans must welcome you with the highest standards."

"Professor Zhang Shouwu is coming too?" Yu Wanzhou was stunned for a moment. Professor Zhang Shouwu studied under the mathematician Wang Yuan. In 1986, he went to Columbia University in the United States to study for a doctorate. s.Now he is working as a professor at Columbia University, and unexpectedly came to Princeton University, but speaking of it, he and Professor Zhang Shouwu really have some connection.

The director of the Max Planck Institute of Mathematics is Gerd Faltings, and he is a senior researcher invited by Mr. Faltings to the Max Planck Institute of Mathematics.

"Of course, there is also the head of our study department, the head of the department is also here."

"Ms. Zhang?" Yu Wanzhou was stunned for a moment. Ms. Zhang, who was born in 4V, is also a very famous mathematician in the industry. She has been a professor of mathematics at Princeton University since 1998 and became the dean of the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University last year.He had just arrived at Princeton and hadn't had time to meet the lady yet.

She made major contributions to harmonic analysis and geometric analysis, and created a new field of "four-dimensional conformal geometry".It has had a profound impact on the development of mathematics and provided a key analytical tool for the progress of theoretical physics. ①

As a holy land of mathematics in the world, there are not a few Chinese mathematicians at Princeton University.From the few words between the two, it can be known that there are not many Chinese in Princeton University, and many of them are aiming at Yu Wanzhou's name, wanting to meet the Chinese prince of mathematics.

Solving the two Millennium Prize problems, such an achievement, even if Yu Wanzhou stays at Princeton University in the future and serves as the dean of the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University, it can be justified.

He has done in-depth research in the field of algebra, as well as in the fields of topology and geometry, and has made great contributions.

"Junior brother, you can go." Lin Wei looked at Yu Wanzhou.

After thinking about it, Yu Wanzhou nodded slightly and said, "Since there are so many mathematics department professors and Chinese, Chinese researchers and associate professors here, it would be a disappointment if I don't go. What's more, this is also a special event held by Princeton University for me. I definitely want to go to the party. I also want to enjoy it, what it feels like to be the most dazzling star."

"You will enjoy it." Lin Wei looked at Yu Wanzhou and agreed, heaving a sigh of relief.His younger brother is really serious. He has only been in Princeton for a few days, and he is in the library every day, and he hardly sees others elsewhere.It seems that when he came to Princeton University, he just studied hard and had nothing else to do.Not at all curious about Princeton University or the nearby New York and Philadelphia.

With so many international students, at least some of them are curious about New York and Philadelphia.Yu Wanzhou didn't feel anything at all, and was bored in the library, as if life was meaningless except for research.

Is that why his junior was dubbed the Prince of Mathematics in Huaguo?

Sure enough, geniuses are mavericks. Even though he has never seen a genius like Yu Wanzhou in Princeton University for so long, Yu Wanzhou is not the only genius in Princeton University, like Feynman, Nash and the like, which one is not a genius and a lunatic.Yu Wanzhou can be regarded as a well-known lunatic in the Princeton University gang. He has been reading documents and materials every day. It has only been a few days. There are not many people in Princeton University during this time, so Yu Wanzhou will pass it on by word of mouth , became another lunatic-like great god of Princeton University.

"That's right." Lin Wei thought of this, and wanted to tell Yu Wanzhou about this matter.Although Princeton University has a strong academic atmosphere and doesn't pay much attention to this aspect, but the name of Yu Wanzhou, a madman, doesn't seem to be very pleasant.

"Junior brother, do you know that students at Princeton University are talking about you recently?"

"Ah?" Yu Wanzhou looked confused, "Aren't you all kind to me?"

"Yes, they are very kind to you, that's because they respect your knowledge. But in private, you are another madman at Princeton University, who runs to the library every day."

"I'm here to study, not to travel." Yu Wanzhou said calmly, "They can say whatever they like, as long as it's not in front of me, I have nothing to worry about."

"Junior brother, junior brother, the point seems to be that you are in the library of Princeton University every day, and you don't go out to play. Everyone thinks you are like a lunatic. You should rest for a few days anyway? Don't be so introverted."

"Rest?" Yu Wanzhou thought for a while, "Brother, do you think rest or solving math problems is more important? In other words, I want to graduate early, and maybe I can become a professor at Princeton University. At that time, those students fell into my hands, and I specified that I would not give them any good juice."

"..." Okay, he definitely can't persuade his junior brother. Seeing the determined look on his junior brother's face, he must have made up his mind.

"I'll contact you later." Lin Wei didn't talk anymore, since the junior didn't care about it himself, he, as a senior, had nothing to say.This kind of thing, the younger brother thinks there is no problem.His brother, if he wants to say more, I am afraid it will have a counterproductive effect.

After Lin Wei left, Yu Wanzhou continued to read documents and materials.As for the group of students saying that he is a lunatic or a monster, they can do whatever they want.He came to Princeton University purely because of the strong academic atmosphere here, plus it is a sacred place for mathematics.That's all, after learning well, communicate with the professors here, have some academic collisions, and then slip away as soon as possible.

What other people think of him is not important to Yu Wanzhou, and it cannot be important.

The important thing is that Yu Wanzhou now only wants to study NP-complete problems well, and to do something in theoretical physics.

As for the material chemistry, he still has to think about it.Princeton University is not top-notch in chemistry, of course, there are all the chemical instruments that should be there.Perhaps, he will try to develop in this area, but it is not the time yet.

After reading the documents and materials, Yu Wanzhou returned the books.I'm sure I won't be able to come to the library tonight.

He didn't know how long the party would last, and he didn't even know where the party was going to be.Yu Wanzhou went back to the dormitory and changed her clothes. Before going out, she called her elder brother.

When Yu Wanshen received the call, it was already six o'clock the next morning in Huaguo.Huaguo is twelve hours ahead of Princeton, which means that Yu Wanzhou is at Princeton University at six o'clock in the afternoon, while Huaguo is already at six o'clock in the morning.

"Xiaozhou." Yu Wanshen's voice was a little tired. It should be that he had just finished working overtime and hadn't had time to go home to sleep. "Why, you called me suddenly, what happened to you at Princeton?"

Yu Wanshen's voice became a little nervous, "Xiaozhou, don't panic, tell your brother well."

"Brother." Yu Wanzhou heard Yu Wanshen's nervous voice and knew that the elder brother was worried about him, "I'm fine, I just want to tell you that I'm going to a party later. Princeton University organized it for me A party, many professors and associate professors from the Department of Mathematics will go, and some Chinese researchers at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton will also go.”

"By the way, the director of our mathematics department is also coming."

"The head of the mathematics department?"

"Well, Ms. Zhang is a very powerful mathematician. I haven't had time to visit her yet."

"Listening to the name, it looks like a Chinese."

"It's from Huaguo." Yu Wanzhou said with a smile, "I'm cleaning up. Brother Lin will come to pick me up later."

"Okay, then go and have fun. As long as you have nothing to do..." Yu Wanshen smiled on the phone, "However, you can't drink alcohol. You are not yet an adult."

"Brother, don't worry, I won't drink. Drinking affects my thinking. Even if I'm an adult, I won't drink."

Yu Wanshen laughed out loud on the other end of the phone, "Okay, okay."

"Brother, did you just get off work?"

"Yes, it's not long since I got off work, and I'm going home to rest."

"You have to pay attention to your body, rest more, smoke less, drink less. Live a healthy life..." Yu Wanzhou chattered to his brother, Yu Wanchen was a little puzzled, "You boy, why are you acting like your mother today? I like to chatter so much."

"Am I doing this for your own good?"

"Hurry up and go to your party, your brother knows his own affairs." After Yu Wanshen finished speaking, he added, "I'm home, I have to go to bed."

After finishing speaking, Yu Wanshen hung up the phone.

Yu Wanzhou looked at herself in the mirror, she was dressed more formally, but it was also suitable for today's party.

As soon as he went out, Lin Wei called.

"Junior Brother Yu, how are you preparing?"

"It's ready."

"Come downstairs, the party isn't at Princeton."

"Row."

After Yu Wanzhou went downstairs, she came to Lin Wei, "Brother, since this party is not at Princeton University, where is it?"

"It's just in Princeton, not far away. Just a few steps away from the school, let's go, I'll take you there." Saying that, the two left Princeton University.

After a while, they came to a building, many people were chatting and laughing in front of the building, seeing Lin Wei coming, they began to greet Lin Wei.

There are men and women, old and young.Of course, the youngest one is probably about the same age as Lin Wei.The older ones are even similar to Professor Chen Yuan.

"Hi, Yu." Professor Wei Teng walked over to greet Yu Wanzhou, "I heard that a lunatic who goes to the library every day came to Princeton University recently. Could it be you?"
