Xueba starts with change

Chapter 186 Two Invitations

It was with great difficulty that Zhang Shouwu squeezed out from the lively crowd.

As the chairman of the sub-committee of the algebra group, as a professor of Princeton University, as a master in algebra, and with his close students, the number of professors is second only to Mr. Qiu.

Smiling at Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi, Zhang Shouwu said with a smile: "I really have something to do with you, can I talk to you alone?"

Chen Zhou glanced at Yang Yiyi, and Yang Yiyi said softly, "I'll wait for you here."

Chen Zhou got up and followed Zhang Shouwu to the balcony of the banquet hall.

"Is that girl your girlfriend?" Zhang Shouwu noticed that Chen Zhou had walked to the balcony and took a look inside.

"Yes." Chen Zhou looked back into the banquet hall and nodded slightly.

"That's not surprising, this girl's math literacy is quite good." Zhang Shouwu praised.

Chen Zhou glanced at Zhang Shouwu, wondering why this person keeps getting close?
Of course, Chen Zhou just complained silently in his heart.

"Ahem..." Zhang Shouwu looked a little embarrassed, so he turned to the main topic, "During the interview, the friend I mentioned contacted me."

Hearing this, Chen Zhou roughly understood what Zhang Shouwu was going to do.

However, he was not in a hurry to answer, but waited for Zhang Shouwu's next words.

Zhang Shouwu looked at Chen Zhou, and continued, "He wants to invite you to join the research group to conduct research in the direction of complex partial differential equations."

After speaking, Zhang Shouwu carefully observed Chen Zhou's expression.

In fact, before the Qiu race started, his friend found him and hoped that he could help contact Chen Zhou.

But he was skeptical.

Because he had never heard of this person named Chen Zhou.

After finding out about Chen Zhou's information through domestic friends, he was even more confused.

Because it was clearly stated on the information that Chen Zhou had just been a freshman at Yan University.

He didn't think a freshman could complete such a thesis.

Because, he also read Chen Zhou's paper on Clifford analysis, let's not talk about the core content and so on.

Just the choice of words and sentences in it, he felt that it was completely impossible for a freshman to write it.

So, he hesitated to talk to his friend.

After all, the domestic academic atmosphere is really not flattering.

At this time, the sixth Qiu competition started, and he received an invitation from the competition committee and Mr. Qiu, hoping that he could come back for an interview in Qiu competition.

After some consideration and some special reasons, Zhang Shouwu decided to come back and test Chen Zhou's real level by the way.

The result was naturally unexpected.

It can be said that Chen Zhou's performance in Qiu Sai surprised him.

When Mr. Qiu was reviewing Chen Zhou's written test paper, he was also on the side.

After seeing Chen Zhou's answer, he began to believe that the paper was written by Chen Zhou.

After all, the calculations in it have exactly the same rigor.

This is a calculation with a strong personal label.

Anyone who has learned about Chen Zhou's calculations will definitely recognize it at first sight the next time they see a calculation made by Chen Zhou.

As Mr. Qiu said, Chen Zhou's calculation is extremely rigorous, the logic in it is meticulous and correct, and the thinking of the answer is extremely clear.

Because of this, there will be those questions asked by Chen Zhou in the later interview.

That's why now I'm looking for Chen Zhou alone and sending out an invitation.

At least, in his opinion, Chen Zhou passed his inspection.

Chen Zhou naturally didn't know Zhang Shouwu's thoughts, he pondered slightly.

If Chen Zhou could have received such an invitation earlier, he would be extremely happy.

But now, he has made the hail conjecture his own research topic, and has spent so much time.

How is it possible to let him change the subject halfway.

Finally, Chen Zhou said: "I'm sorry, Professor Zhang, thank you and your friend for your kindness. Although I still have a lot of interest in the direction of complex partial differential equations, I really don't have more time now. I'm afraid Unable to join this research group."

Zhang Shouwu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled softly: "It's okay, I will tell him what you mean."

Chen Zhou smiled slightly: "Thank you for your understanding."

After a pause, Chen Zhou asked curiously, "Is that friend of yours the editor of the Journal of Functional Analysis?"

Zhang Shouwu shook his head and said: "It's not an editor, it was an invitation from "Function Analysis" during the external review. Your calculations in the paper left a deep impression on him, so he asked me to contact you .”

Chen Zhou now understands that it seems that his paper can be published so quickly, mainly because of his powerful calculations.

However, having already rejected someone else's invitation, Chen Zhou could no longer ask about the other party's identity.

Zhang Shouwu didn't continue to entangle on this topic, and instead chatted with Chen Zhou about his field of algebra, which he is good at.

What they said was not so profound, but something that could be discussed with Chen Zhou.

At this time, Chen Zhou also discovered that this Professor Zhang is quite approachable.

And regarding the content in the field of algebra, some of his insights gave Chen Zhou a refreshing feeling.

Sure enough, the reason why Da Niu became a Da Niu is not without reason.

This view alone is not comprehensible to ordinary people.

But what Chen Zhou didn't know was that as the two talked, Zhang Shouwu became more and more surprised.

The freshman student in front of me has an extraordinary understanding of mathematics and a familiarity with mathematics knowledge.

Even in some places, it is deeper than the understanding of some graduate students.

Zhang Shouwu suddenly had a thought, he looked at Chen Zhou and asked, "When do you plan to leave Yanda?"

Chen Zhou was also frank: "The sophomore year is over."

Zhang Shouwu asked strangely, "Sophomore? It won't take that long, right?"

Chen Zhou explained with a smile: "Well, generally speaking, it won't take that long. However, I still plan to minor in the Department of Physics."

Zhang Shouwu was taken aback, and looked at Chen Zhou strangely: "You don't study mathematics to study physics, do you?"

Chen Zhou shook his head: "No, isn't mathematics the study of all other subjects?"

Zhang Shouwu: "..."

At this moment, Chen Zhou took another look into the banquet hall, and almost all the people at their table had returned.

"Ahem..." Zhang Shouwu coughed twice, and said simply, "Are you planning to come to Princeton? I can help."

Chen Zhou looked at Professor Zhang next to him. This was his second invitation tonight. It would be bad if he refused directly...

Moreover, if other students had heard of Zhang Shouwu's invitation, they would have agreed in haste.

However, Chen Zhou thought about it, and said: "Princeton is indeed a good place to study mathematics, but thank you for your kindness, I haven't made up my mind yet."

Zhang Shouwu said with a little regret: "Well, if you plan to come to Princeton, you can contact me in advance, and I will try my best to help."

Chen Zhou said gratefully, "Thank you."

Chen Zhou noticed that Yang Yiyi was waving at him, as if he was looking for something.

He greeted Zhang Shouwu and prepared to go back.

Zhang Shouwu nodded slightly, thought of something immediately, and said, "Chen Zhou, by the way, what have you been researching recently?"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Shouwu added: "It's purely a personal curiosity."

Chen Zhou thought for a while, then said softly, "Hail conjectures."

Zhang Shouwu: "???"
