"What's the matter?" Cheng Qiu was a little confused, "Is it for the younger brother to discuss mathematics with him in private?" The younger brother spent almost all of his time in mathematics and physics in the past few years, and less time on geometry and algebra.As we all know, the field that Viscount Deligne is good at is algebraic geometry, which is undoubtedly the most advanced level in the world.

"It's more shocking than this." Zhuang Weiran really didn't want to show off to Cheng Qiu, he just wanted to share this good news with his closest people.

As a child who grew up in an orphanage, the closest people are probably his brothers and professors.

The professor should be doing something now, and the only people he can talk about are the seniors.When he called his brother, he had already thought about it.

"It's mysterious." Cheng Qiu muttered, "Junior brother, what is it that makes it so mysterious, you should tell me."

"Brother, guess again."

"Could it be that you are invited to join the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study?"

"Not at all."

"That's strange, what is it that makes junior brother so excited. Why do I think, junior brother, you're so excited?" Cheng Qiu couldn't figure it out. Junior brother had also been excited before.Like—when unraveling the Yang-Mills existential and qualitative gaps.But as excited as he is now, he can even hear from his younger brother's tone of excitement on the other end of the phone, dancing and dancing. This is really the first time he has met.

What is it that can make the junior so excited.

Cheng Qiu couldn't figure it out, "Junior Brother, just tell me, don't be tricky."

"The Viscount Deligne told me—Mr. Grothendieck wants to see me."

"What?" Cheng Qiu yelled on the other end of the phone, almost losing his voice.

Grothendieck wanted to meet Zhuang Weiran, who was the greatest mathematician of the twentieth century and the founder of modern geometric algebra.Grothendieck, known as the God of Algebraic Geometry.

Before, he and his younger brother said with a smile that if they were one-tenth as powerful as Pope Grothendieck, they would be content.It never occurred to me that one day I would be summoned by the Pope.

Void Pope, this is the nickname given to this great mathematician by the students of Huaguo.From a paper -

As if from the void - Grothendieck, the god of algebraic geometry.

If the Viscount Deligne that Zhuang Weiran said is a first-class mathematician, then Mr. Grothendieck is the Pope of Mathematics, or even the God of Mathematics.

Cheng Qiu never imagined that he wanted to see Mr. Grothendieck.But—it is too hard for people to imagine that the junior brother should be summoned by this mathematics god. Even the big boss who has never appeared in the textbook can only be seen when he is studying or consulting relevant documents and materials. A scrap of the big guy's mind.But the younger brother actually wants to meet Mr. Grothendieck, he gasped, Cheng Qiu was speechless.

"Really." Zhuang Weiran continued, "That's what Viscount Deligne told me, but I have to wait until after the International Congress of Mathematicians to go to Europe with him."

"Junior brother, you..." Cheng Qiu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.The younger brother is really doing well, and has already been summoned by the greatest mathematician of the [-]th century. Presumably, the younger brother will make great progress in mathematics in the future.

Now he can't keep up with his junior brother even if he flatters him, let alone in the future.

Speaking of which, it doesn't seem like a big deal for Professor Tao to treat him differently from his junior brother.Because the younger brother is so good, he seems to finally understand why Professor Tao is so kind to the younger brother.

The younger brother is indeed too talented, and his contribution in mathematics in the future must be much greater than him.

Think about it, the younger brother is going to meet Grothendieck, the god of mathematics, and he is still working as a teaching assistant at Peking University.This kind of gap, the two are brothers, and they stay together all year round, it is heartbreaking to think about it.

"I need to calm down." After a long time, Cheng Qiu said, "I can't turn my head now, Junior Brother, you'd better wait for me to be quiet first."

"Okay, brother." Zhuang Weiran happened to also read documents and materials, so he hung up the phone directly.

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Qiu looked at the roof, lost in thought.The impact was too great. When he was still working as a teaching assistant, his younger brother graduated with a Ph.D. and immediately became an associate professor at Princeton University, the best mathematics holy place in the world.And he still doesn't know when he will be able to become an associate professor or even a professor. In the foreseeable few years, his junior will definitely be able to become a professor.

Now he was summoned by the God of Mathematics. Even if he is not a descendant of the God of Mathematics, he has also talked to the God of Mathematics.In the future, in mathematics, especially in international mathematics, the status will definitely not be low.At least he is also a first-class mathematician, and may even become the top mathematician like Gerd Faltings.

My God, I'm all studying with Professor Tao, why is there such a big gap between people.

The mentality is about to collapse!

Zhuang Weiran was still very excited after talking with Cheng Qiu, but his emotional control was not bad.Looking at the documents and materials, I quickly entered the state and was no longer excited.Instead, focus on what he needs to understand. Regarding number theory, Zhuang Weiran still needs a deeper understanding.He had to ask some questions to bigwigs like Professor Feffman.Fortunately, he is at Princeton University, and there is not much shortage of experts in number theory.

He recorded several questions, and was going to take some time to ask Professor Feffman.

Probably because he had a good relationship with Professor Feffman, he couldn't figure out these questions, so he immediately thought of asking this big guy.

Turning off the computer, Zhuang Weiran prepares to rest.Tomorrow is the first day of school at Princeton University, and it is also his first time teaching at Princeton University, even though he knows that Princeton University will not dismiss him because he went late.Even if he can do it at home every day, he probably won't be dismissed by Princeton University.

Princeton University has been established for so many years, and no genius or lunatic has met.Even people like John Forbes Nash are acceptable to them. Zhuang Weiran stays at home every day to do research projects. For Princeton University, it is only at the level of sprinkling water.

But Zhuang Weiran attached great importance to this lecture, after all, this was his first formal work at Princeton University.Since he came to Princeton University and registered, he has been doing projects with a salary.

After a few months, he really didn't attend class.And tomorrow happened to be his first day of class, so he didn't want to leave bad memories for the students.At least, he must be worthy of the salary Princeton University gave him.In fact, when he applied to go abroad, he also wanted to study mathematics.Now it seems that there is nothing wrong with going abroad.He felt that it was difficult to improve his mathematics level in Huaguo, but abroad, he felt that his mathematics level could be improved a lot.

Going abroad is indeed a good idea, but I don’t know how many people in China will criticize him slightly because he squeezed out the number of visiting scholars.

In fact, Zhuang Weiran didn't need to apply for a visiting scholar at all. He just went directly to Princeton University to apply for a job. Showing his name and the topics he solved before was enough for Princeton University to give him an associate professor position.

At that time, Zhuang Weiran didn't think too much. The professor asked him to apply, so he applied directly.In fact, Professor Tao's meaning is very obvious. Can he just go to Princeton University to apply for a job without knowing Zhuang Weiran?He just wanted Zhuang Weiran to remember that after studying abroad, whether it took three to five years or decades, he finally hoped that he could return to China.

Professor Tao has experienced the favorable conditions abroad.There is no comparison in China. Many times, Professor Tao himself misses the conditions abroad.But he never regrets his decision to return to China. Of course, he also hopes that the best students he has taught will also return to China to continue to cultivate more outstanding mathematics talents.

Passed down from generation to generation, one day, Huaguo's mathematics circle will be no different from other mathematics powerhouses.

He has always firmly believed that, in fact, Huaguo is no worse than people from any other country in mathematics.It’s just that it started relatively late, and many Chinese have already proved this point, and even the Chinese have an advantage over people from many countries in mathematics.

That is, Huaguo's scientific research funds are indeed too tight, and it is impossible to research topics at will.Otherwise, the gap between China's mathematics and mathematics powers may be narrowed by a lot.

Zhuang Weiran made Professor Tao see hope, not only made Professor Tao think that there is no difference between the first-class foreign mathematicians and Huaguo people, but also let Professor Tao see the hope that Huaguo can reach the top of mathematics.

Zhuang Weiran was only 16 years old, and it took him several months to read the entire thesis to unravel the existence and quality gaps of Yang-Mills.After consulting a lot of relevant documents and materials, a conclusion is drawn.Zhuang Weiran really solved this mathematical problem that no one has been able to solve for half a century.

He is only 16 years old!There is still a long way to go, and there are still decades to do mathematical research.No one can predict how far he will go in the future.

The top of mathematics, since modern times, only Mr. Grothendieck, who is known as the God of Algebraic Geometry, has seen all mountains and small mountains.Other scholars and professors are not first-class mathematics masters, but they are still somewhat unconvincing from the title of the Pope of Mathematics and standing at the top of mathematics.

Since the death of Mr. Chen Shiingshen, a master of mathematics, Huaguo has not seen some strong figures in mathematics.However, they have always hovered around the second-tier in the international mathematics community. Whether they are Chinese or Chinese mathematicians, they are still far from the pinnacle of mathematics.Only Zhuang Weiran insisted on asking Professor Tao to give Zhuang Weiran a word of evaluation-shocking the world!

This is all his evaluation of Zhuang Weiran, looking at all the documents and biographies of the great mathematics gods.It is not difficult to find that mathematics is a subject for geniuses, and only true geniuses can achieve first-class mathematics.And the talent shown by Zhuang Weiran is not just as simple as a first-class mathematician.
