From top stream to scholar

"So, you are quite important." Yu Jianrong hummed and said, "You won't be deceived, right?"

"Dad." Yu Wanzhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "This is a project of Yucheng University. What's the use of lying to me? The funds are all paid by the state, so it has nothing to do with me. I'm an honorary director, and I still get paid every month. Just Like the director of the Max-Planck Institute of Mathematics, even if it is a name, it still has a salary and income. After that, I will join the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study.”

"Institute for Advanced Study?" Yu Wanshen looked at him, "Isn't it a university? When did another Institute for Advanced Study pop up?"

"It's in Princeton. When you went there, you didn't go there. It's a different place from Princeton University, but it has a very close connection with Princeton University. For example, my professor Wei Teng, he is the Institute for Advanced Study in Physics. Faculty, and also a professor at Princeton University."

"I have also received an invitation from the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study. It is estimated that I will join the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study after returning to Princeton University. I have filled out the form and sent it by email." Yu Wanzhou shrugged and said, " There should be results soon."

"With so many names, can you come here?"

"It's just doing lectures and projects, it's okay." Yu Wanzhou really didn't feel overwhelmed.Just like the Max-Planck Institute of Mathematics, he has not been there, and has changed from a senior researcher to a deputy director.It seems that it may already be the director.As for the International Research Center of Mathematics of Peking University, he also needs to be promoted.At that time, I will definitely do academic lectures and other things, but academic lectures belong to academic lectures, and Yu Wanzhou estimates that the most frequent place to go is the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.

"What's going on with the Institute for Advanced Study?" Jiang Xi was rather curious about the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.

"Let me tell you this, the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, people who have been with Albert Einstein, Mr. Yang Zhenning, John von Neumann, Michael Atiyah, Chern, even the number theory demon Director Hua Luogeng also stayed at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton." Yu Wanzhou thought about it, "He is a world-renowned theoretical research institution, more like a holy place for theoretical research."

"Countless scholars and pioneers have more or less stayed in that place, and its academic atmosphere can be imagined."

"There are so many people in our country who have done things there?" Yu Jianrong really heard this for the first time, and he didn't know about others.But Mr. Hua Luogeng, as a great mathematician in Huaguo, and there is no difference in age with him, how could he not have heard of it.

It's just that Hua Luogeng also stayed at the Institute for Advanced Study in Pashton, and this was the first time he had heard of it.

"That's right. In September 1946, Mr. Hua Luogeng, the wizard of number theory, went to the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study, so the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study is a sacred place for theoretical research institutes. He has too many valuable treasures left by his pioneers and predecessors. I am in In terms of pure mathematics and theoretical physics, you still need to study at the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study for a period of time." Yu Wanzhou talked about the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study.

"Okay." Yu Jianrong nodded, "Then you are studying in that advanced research institute, can you come back?"

"So many people can come back for advanced studies, why can't I come back." Yu Wanzhou couldn't laugh or cry, "This is a theoretical research institute, mainly to study theoretical problems, many of which are difficult to achieve with current technology. And a lot of content After research, it is open to the world, and it is not a confidential research."

"How could you not come back?"

"Just take it easy." Yu Jianrong stopped talking.

Yu Wanzhou stretched her waist and said to her family, "I'm going to take a rest first."

Just as he was talking, Yu Wanzhou's cell phone rang loudly.This mobile phone number is also used by him abroad, and the mobile phone number he left behind is also this mobile phone number.But almost all of his academic exchanges with foreign professors are by email.During the time he returned to China, apart from Jiang Yi and his family who called him, no one really called him.

It's night now, who else will call him at this time?

Yu Wanzhou took out her mobile phone very puzzled, it was a foreign number.Yu Wanzhou just changed to a smart phone, which can display the address of the caller. This is a call from the United States.

After pressing the answer button, the person on the other end of the phone said to Yu Wanzhou, "Hi, is this Mr. Yu?"

"I am, are you?"

"I'm a member of the American Mathematical Society."

"Oh." Yu Wanzhou responded, "Then why are you calling me?"

"You have won the Steele Award for Groundbreaking Research Contribution." The person over there said softly, "When are you free to come and receive it?"

"Of course, but maybe next year."

"It's okay, it's a coincidence that you will also get the reward for next year. Mr. Yu, I wish you a happy life."

"Thank you, this is the most wonderful news I have today." Yu Wanzhou smiled and hung up the phone.

Yu Wanrong looked at Yu Wanzhou's conversation in English, and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?"

"Another award." Yu Wanzhou shrugged, "The Steele Award for Groundbreaking Research Contribution is one of the series of awards of the American Mathematical Society."

"Reward papers with important research value in a certain discipline. I guess it should be a proof of NP-complete problems. It is of great significance to mathematics, computer science, and theoretical informatics, so I won this award." This award is Yu Wanzhou did not expect it, but Yu Wanzhou, who has already won the Fields Medal and the Craford Mathematics Award, really has no feeling for this award from the American Mathematical Society.

Specifically, the Steele Award is inferior to the previous two awards in terms of academic authority and academic review.If the Crawford Prize in Mathematics is the popularity and academic authority of the Fields Prize, then the Steele Award is not like the honor of Yu Wanzhou, but more like the academic authority that the Steele Award wants to compete with Yu Wanzhou , raise your own worth.

"Okay, Xiaozhou won another award." Yu Wanshen smiled happily, and said to Yu Jianrong, "Dad, our family probably needs to make a special room for Wanzhou to put such medals in the future. Look, Xiaozhou is here. They have won several awards.”

Yu Jianrong also smiled happily. Although he is a stubborn person, it is strange that he is unhappy because his son is so promising.

"There is nothing to be happy about." Yu Wanzhou said with a smile, "There is no comparison with the Fields Award and the Craford Award. Academically speaking, it cannot be compared with the first two awards. I feel that the American The Mathematics Society wants to take a chance on my academic authority."

"You boy, what authority do you have?"

"Don't tell me, I am a first-rate mathematician in mathematics, and there are such things as academic authority." Yu Wanzhou said with a smile, "I am waiting for an Abel Prize and a Lobachevsky Prize. These two awards, as well as the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, are internationally renowned mathematics awards. After receiving these awards, there will be a Ramanujan Award, as well as the Gauss Award and the Naiwang Award at the International Congress of Mathematicians. The Linna Award is almost a Grand Slam."

"Then you can study theoretical physics. If you can make a theory of everything, it will be wonderful. You can get the Nobel Prize in Physics. If possible, I also want to study in chemistry, especially in materials." If you make some breakthroughs in chemistry, you may even win a Nobel Prize in Chemistry."

Jiang Xi smiled, "You really know how to think, this is to win all the awards that can be won in the world, right?"

"I don't mind if I can."

Yu Wanrong took the pillow and threw it at Yu Wanzhou, "Stinky boy, you know how to twitch."

"Hey." Yu Wanzhou laughed, "However, I'm really waiting for the highest award in computer science, an international award named after a well-known alumni of our school."

"What award?" Yu Jianrong looked at him.

"Turing Award."

"It's from your Princeton school too?"

"Yes, a well-known alumnus. The father of computing." Yu Wanzhou said with a smile, "The AM Turing Award is known as the Nobel Prize of computer science, and it is the highest award in computer science."

"Go to bed quickly." Yu Wanchen rolled up his sleeves, "Don't be smacking outside every day, boy, it's fine at home, it's better to be humble outside, you know?"

"Well, I know." Yu Wanzhou said with a smile, "The Lord knows, but the Lord doesn't care."

"It's not enough." Yu Wanshen stood up and made a gesture to hit Yu Wanzhou, but Yu Wanzhou slipped away very quickly, "Brother, I'm going to read the documents and materials."

"This kid." Yu Wanshen smiled, "Dad, don't worry, this kid Wanzhou has a lot of ideas now. You can see that he studies high-end academic issues, and we don't understand. That's right. Don't worry too much, Xiao Zhou knows it well."

"I'm not worried about other things about him." Yu Jianrong said, "It's just his personality that needs to be changed. What if he is targeted in the future?"

"How can it be, Xiaozhou, you don't know that people who have a hippie smile with acquaintances and people who are not familiar with them don't talk like that at all. When I went to Princeton University, I observed it for a long time. Xiaozhou basically treats those people very well. You're being polite. He's only a member of the family, so he'll say such words. He knows that we won't do anything to him."

"At most there is one Jiang Yi, he would say so." Jiang Xi added, "But Jiang Yi and Xiaozhou are very familiar."

"That's right, Dad, don't worry, Xiaozhou has a sense of propriety."

"It's good that he has a sense of proportion." Yu Jianrong nodded, "Bring the newspaper, I'm reading the newspaper."

Opening the newspaper, Yu Jianrong began to read the newspaper again.

Yu Wanshen and Jiang Xi couldn't bear it anymore. They had to go to work tomorrow, so they went to bed first.

Miao Yucui reminded from the side, "Remember to come to eat tomorrow, there are so many dishes left, it will be a waste if you don't eat them."
