Hammer of Technology

But many people may not know that the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study next to Princeton University is the real temple of mathematics.Because there is no teaching task here, it is simply dedicated to basic theoretical research, so its achievements in mathematics, especially in the field of pure numbers, can really be said to be world-renowned.

The old man who was admitted to the hospital by Ning Weiqi twice was not only working in the Princeton School of Mathematics, but also leading his own team in the Institute for Advanced Study to do research.

It's just that the old gentleman is nowhere to be seen now.His former office was also cleared out and assigned to a physics professor who just won the Nobel Prize last year.Fundamental physics is also the research direction of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. Although I can't say that it can be proud of the world, it is definitely top-notch.

Of course mathematics is still the top priority.

Today is destined to be an extraordinary day, a message began to spread among the researchers of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.

"Hey, has Denton heard about it? That Chinese man finally solved the NS equation."

"Of course, I heard last night that Dean was invited to be one of the reviewers. I also know that this Chinese person sent the manuscript to a Chinese mathematics journal, my God, I can't even name that journal The name, the impact factor is only about 0.2, can you believe it? The paper that proved the NS equation was published in an unknown journal with an impact factor of less than 0.2."

"Ronnie, to be honest, although I also feel uncomfortable with that Chinese man, I don't think he can really be blamed for it. Maybe I have to thank Professor Friend for this matter. Let's put it this way, Ronnie, if I go to Chinese journals submitted papers and received similar treatment, so I probably wouldn't consider submitting papers again."

"Okay, let's just talk about it. Why do you still mention that old gentleman? This matter makes the boss feel uncertain and he has to train others. Let's work."

……

The paper on the NS equation in March was finally translated into English, and mathematicians around the world selected those mathematicians who were qualified to review the manuscript.The news spread quickly.

In fact, generally speaking, those big figures in the mathematics world are not willing to pay attention to some small journals with low impact factors, but this paper is signed by Ning Wei, and it solves another worldwide problem. Reviewers for difficult papers are also something that many bigwigs are very interested in.Moreover, the reviewers are usually the best in this research field, so they are naturally more interested.

The news inevitably began to spread, and while the academic circle was amazed, it was inevitable to regret it.

It is not necessarily his loss that Ning Wei did not publish the paper in the top four major mathematics journals.Because this actually embarrasses the four top journals.This statement may not be accurate, after all, the publications have no feelings, so only a person related to the four top publications feels embarrassed.

Like the big guys at Princeton.

After all, Princeton has its own top mathematics journals, and it is recognized that the culprit who caused this paper to fail to be published in the four top journals was not only a post in the Princeton Research Institute, but also a lifelong honorary professor of Princeton University. This is really embarrassing.

What's more embarrassing is that even though Ningwei Space provides everyone with a research direction, the researchers here are still a step behind. It is still Ningwei who first published a paper on solving the NS equation. The most embarrassing thing is others He changed his research direction early on, and the whole world knows that Ning Wei has been researching artificial intelligence, and even won the Wolf Award for a paper on the mathematical theory of artificial intelligence.

In other words, when Ning Wei was studying artificial intelligence, he solved the problems he had studied by the way, even faster than those mathematicians who specialized in this topic. This really embarrasses many people in the mathematics world To pick out a set of three bedrooms and one living room with your toes.

Really, if the news can be blocked, some people really don't want anyone to know that this problem has been solved by Ning Wei, but now it is an information society after all, even if their people don't say it, Chinese mathematicians will write about it information.Instead of being ashamed at that time, it would be better to appear more magnanimous.

It's just that too many people underestimate the impact of this event, especially on the next generation.

In other words, it doesn't hurt the fundamentals for colleagues in the research institute to discuss it, but the students at Princeton University have a different perception.

Tasim was teaching with the professor as usual.

Generally speaking, Princeton University has an introductory system. To put it simply, the professors’ lectures are very large. Most of the time, they will give speeches in the hall, and hundreds of students will listen to the lectures. Two remedial lessons led by teaching assistants.Teaching assistants are generally graduate students of the lecture professors.So in many cases, the grades of undergraduate students really depend on luck. After all, the gap between the teaching experience of graduate students and their level is often very different.

So generally speaking, everyone will value the precious time that professors give lectures every week.

The same seems to be true today.

As a professor of the Princeton School of Mathematics, Tasim also has a dazzling resume, but in fact, the resumes of any professor at Princeton University are probably dazzling. For example, the school will specially issue NL license plates, which represent the identity of the car. The owner once won the Nobel Prize.Obviously, the professors of the School of Mathematics cannot get this kind of reward, but Tasim has won the Abel Prize, one of the three major mathematics awards in the world.

He is 48 years old this year, the Fields Award is definitely hopeless, but there is still a good chance of winning a Wolf Award.So the students naturally admired him very much, and the hall of every lecture was always full of seats.

Finally, it was time to end the get out of class. As usual, he was about to end the lecture, but he saw many students raised their hands high.This kind of sight is actually not common.Because Princeton University has arranged a job for each professor, he must set aside 10 minutes a week for compulsory tutoring time, of course, the time can be set by himself, he just needs to stay in the office and wait for these children We will ask the accumulated questions, so he generally will not answer the questions after class.

But with so many hands raised today, did one of him talk too deeply in today's lecture?The kids didn't understand?

"Is there any question? You, get up and talk." Tasim finally pointed to a female student and asked her to stand up and ask questions.

"Professor Tasim, do you know that Ning Wei, a student of Huaxia Yanbei University, submitted a paper to a not well-known Chinese mathematics journal, which is said to have solved the NS equation?"

Tasim was stunned for a moment, his eyes swept across the countless young and immature faces in the audience, and he suddenly felt that Princeton University might be losing the most important thing.So he didn't intend to answer this question, but after thinking about it, he decided to say something.

"Sure enough, this is Princeton, and all the students know about a thesis that is still under review," Tasim said.

Generally speaking, this sentence will bring some laughter, or a look of pride from many students, but this time it seems that the effect is not so perfect.

"The news you have received is true. Dr. Ning Wei has indeed delivered a paper on the NS equation recently. If the paper is finally considered correct, then the NS equation will be confirmed to have a smooth solution and a unique solution in three-dimensional conditions. This is This is a gratifying progress in the field of mathematical theory, but unfortunately, some previous unhappiness may make everyone feel that this happiness is not complete."

"Of course, there is one or another feeling now that it is not very rigorous. Because this paper still needs to be evaluated by reviewers, and then published, it will be questioned and discussed by mathematicians all over the world, and finally it will be approved or falsified. .Of course as a Princeton Mathematics student, I guess everyone is familiar with the process, so that's not what you really want to hear from me."

"But what do you think I can say? There is no doubt that Ning Wei is one of the most gifted mathematicians of this century, everyone, I am talking about one of them. So where are the mathematicians who can stand side by side with him What? Let me tell you, they are on campus, among you. Why is the Fields Medal only awarded to mathematicians under the age of 40? Because the whole world knows that late bloomers are too rare in the mathematics world. For For a discipline that relies on talent and inspiration, it is difficult to make great achievements when the brain is past its peak."

"So I suggest that you don't pay too much attention to those things that are too far away from you, and you should pay more attention to some pure things. PDE is a comprehensive mathematics subject. To learn this course well, you must not only learn the general knowledge taught by me. If you really want to continue to study PDE in the future, you must learn algebraic topology, differential topology and Riemannian geometry well."

"You probably despise Lucasson Flender in your heart because this matter has been at the forefront. But what I want to tell you is that when Professor Flender was your age, he was as passionate and passionate as you He is passionate and curious about everything in mathematics, and his talent is the best of that era, and many of the theories you are studying now are all the research and contributions he made.”

"I'm not trying to defend what he did, because he was indeed wrong. Fame and fortune blinded his eyes, and even stained Princeton University's century-old honor. Everyone present, you are now You are all members of Princeton. Whether you like it or not, you have been tied to this ancient school all your life. Rather than feel that the old professor has shamed everyone, you should study hard and use your achievements to recast the glory and glory of the school. .”

"Of course, it is actually very difficult to do this. But I believe that there must be someone among you. I hope that by that time, you will still not forget your original intention, keep your mission in mind, and always remember your love for mathematics. I know, Ning Since he may be the idol of many of you, have you ever thought about what is the most respectful way for an idol? Yes, it is to have achievements alongside him, and even surpass him one day."

"If you're going to ask me what I think about this, that's about it. This is the first and last time I'm going to talk to you guys. Including weekly coaching hours, I hope you'll be bothering your problems Share with me, I will try my best to answer for you. But at the same time, please forgive me, I am just a researcher in mathematics. Inquiry, that's it, get out of class."

After finishing speaking, Tasim began to organize the courseware so that his eyes would not stay on the immature faces of the students under the podium...

The Temple of Mathematics in the past... Hehe...

……

"Lucy, are you still busy?"

"Yeah, I have to prepare the courseware. When I was a student, I didn't feel that being a tutor was such a headache. Now I finally experience it."

"Haha, it means that you have finally grown up."

At Harvard University, Lucy Ron was not idle during Ning Wei's Ph. ——Google's invitation to join the great cause of education.

Yes, Lucy Rowan finally chose to sign with Harvard and became an honorary professor of computer science.

The money earned by working at Harvard is definitely incomparable with that at Google. Although Harvard is not short of money, the salary ceiling of professors at private universities in the United States is also there.Moreover, Lucy Ron is now an associate professor, with an annual salary of about [-] U.S. dollars, which is actually quite enough for her.

Although the salary is not top-notch, the school still buys all kinds of insurance at a high level.And the school life made Lucy Ron miss, which is the most important thing.Of course, there are also some subconscious factors, such as Lucy Ron's stubborn belief that if she chooses to go to Google instead of staying in school, she will definitely be pulled further and further away by that damn young Chinese in the future... Even if Google It has the most advanced laboratory in the world.

Of course, choosing to be a professor at Harvard instead of Google to get a high salary may also have something to do with Lucy Ron’s lack of money. After all, some of the things she researched during her Ph.D. have helped her earn millions of dollars from Google.

In other words, even without Google's high salary, Lucy Ron feels that she has the ability to make money from these high-tech companies in another way, of course when she is short of money.

If Ning Wei would probably be able to comment on these things, this woman bought so many evening dresses and backless outfits because she was dazzled by money...

Fortunately, there hasn't been a conflict between the two of them for a long time, mainly because Ning Wei forgot to pull her back out after she was blacklisted last time.

For a proud Harvard female professor, she condescends to cooperate with Ningwei who has no FB and downloads the international version of WeChat, and is ruthlessly blocked again and again. Contact, so the cold war in her heart began.

Yes, Lucy Ron has been simmering in her heart. In addition to her daily classes, she also wants to achieve world-renowned results, so Ning Wei took the initiative to pull her out of the blacklist.If the achievement can be a little higher, so that Ning Wei also has to worship, it will be more complete...

Of course, although the time needed to produce results is urgent, Lucy Ron knows that she can't be too impatient.Because in fact, she has already been decadent in the middle, and the birth in March has shocked this talented female doctor to such an extent that she can't help herself.

Lucy Ron, who also studies artificial intelligence algorithms, certainly knows what March means.It's as if everyone was fighting to fight the landlord, and Ning Wei actually caught a handful of king bombs in his hand...

So during this period of time, she has been concentrating on studying Ning Wei's previous papers, which involved a lot of knowledge in mathematics. Fortunately, learning algorithms is inseparable from mathematics. When she was studying for a doctorate, she started to study again. Relevant mathematical concepts have been systematically studied and sorted out, and now I can understand Ningwei's thinking, and even start to think more deeply about these theories.

Yes, Lucy Ron has already made plans. When she has results, she must go to Huaxia, go to Yanbei University, and smash her achievements on the face of that hateful guy. She will prove it to Ning Wei Look, academic achievement has nothing to do with big breasts, and it has nothing to do with those beautiful clothes in the closet!

however……

"By the way, Lucy, have you heard? Your old friend Ning Wei solved the proposition of the NS equation, and the Cray Mathematics Institute's $100 million prize may have to be issued this time. Although the paper now I haven't met you in the journal yet, but I heard that Huaxia may put the paper on ChinaXiv, the paper pre-publishing platform of Huaxia Academy of Sciences, which seems to be very confident in this paper."

"Huh?" Lucy Ron was stunned, and couldn't help but said: "But hasn't he been studying the content of artificial intelligence mathematical theory? NS equation? How is his time allocated?"

"How can I say that he is a stronger genius than you? Lucy, although I don't want to admit this as your mentor, Ningwei is indeed too strong. Don't try to compete with the best mathematicians of the same era. Comparing the results, it will be very tiring. In fact, the advancement of a theory requires the contributions of more unknown people. Maybe we can't be the most dazzling person, but the advancement of an era depends more on those unknown contributors. .”

"Teacher, I understand what you mean. In fact, I never thought that I must compare myself with that man..." Lucy Ron said after being silent for a moment.

"Don't lie to yourself, Lucy. Competitiveness is a good thing. I'm just afraid that you will be defeated by it. Great scientists like Einstein and Newton can easily overshadow the light of contemporary science, such as Brad , Kramer, Wilson, Hook...etc, etc., in fact, when we look at that era now, their achievements are also worthy of being engraved in the history books."

"So living in the same era as a great man of science is not only a challenge but also an opportunity. It is actually a very lucky thing to accept some of his views, to learn, to enrich, and to achieve achievements that no one has ever had before. The founder just pointed out that There is a road, how to make this road pass, what is needed is countless people to build it along the road under the guidance of the founder."

The old professor said softly.

"Okay, my dear Professor Wilson, I understand what you said!" Lucy Ron said helplessly.

The old professor shrugged and smiled: "Hey, although that Ning Wei does have the potential to become the greatest mathematician of this era, and he can even be considered one of the greatest scientists of this era, but there is one thing, his The level of appreciation is really terrible! Do you know? I always thought that you two are a natural pair. There are not many women in this world who have beauty and wisdom at the same time. You happen to be one of them. Since you have amazing beauty , and have a common language, but you failed to spark the spark of love, so is Ning Wei really blind?"

These words are really annoying, Lucy Ron unconsciously remembered Ning Wei's evaluation of her...

"That woman is in a superposition state between men and women when discussing issues with me. Once she stops discussing issues, she will collapse into a definite female state..."

What a bitch he is...and a brilliant-- bitch!

------------

308 Graduation is coming again!

"Mr. Wilson, do you think I can apply for a professor at Yanbei University? You know, my Chinese is not bad, maybe I can go to Huaxia to continue my studies and come back to Harvard later." Lucy Ron said suddenly .

The old professor was stunned, looking at his beloved student, he suddenly didn't know how to answer this question.

Originally, he intended to match Lucy Ron and Ning Wei, but what he thought at the time was that if Lucy Ron could captivate Ning Wei and attract this young talent to Harvard, that's why there was just now Feeling, but now things seem to be developing in a strange direction.

what?

Not only is the genius of others not attracted?Do you want to take a ride here?The old professor didn't know that there was an old saying in Huaxia specifically used to describe this kind of thing, saying that stealing chickens won't make you lose money, but he still felt that this was not a good idea.

"No, no, Lucy, why do you have such an idea? Huaxia is far away, and re-adapting to the environment is not the most beneficial for you. The most important thing is that you should know that Ningwei already has a girlfriend. Yes, he has a girlfriend!" The old professor bit the word girlfriend very hard.

Lucy Ron looked up at her mentor in a strange way, and said, "Professor? What are you thinking? God, do you think I lack a man to pursue? I went to Yanbei University to study, but It's not about love!"

"To study?" The old professor frowned and said, "What are you studying?"

"At that time, I was studying artificial intelligence and mathematics. Teacher, don't you think that the most advanced artificial intelligence algorithm can only be learned systematically in China? Not to mention that there is also the world's most advanced artificial intelligence program there. Isn't this worth learning? ? And you also know that Yanbei University even opened a Ning class, which specializes in this direction, which we wanted to do before, but now others are ahead, so is it really not worth learning?"

Lucy Ron's voice gradually became louder, and she became more and more excited as she spoke.

She didn't know if she could convince the mentor in front of her, but obviously she convinced herself first.

"This..." The old professor didn't know how to refute.

"Not to mention that someone there just solved a world-class mathematical problem. If artificial intelligence technology is accepted by the whole world in the future, Yanbei University will become the center of big data and artificial intelligence algorithms. Professor, you really don't think I should go to Learn something useful and bring back their advanced academic experience?" Lucy Ron's eyes began to emit a divine light.

If she could see the shining eyes, she would probably feel that it was a look of yearning for knowledge, but in the eyes of the old professor, the light had absolutely nothing to do with knowledge.In fact, he really wanted to ask Lucy Ron, can he come back after this trip?

But the words lingered in his throat for a long time, but he didn't spit them out after all.

He shouldn't have come to talk to the female student he was proud of today. There was nothing wrong with it, but now something happened.Yes, he suspects that Harvard will soon lose its most gifted female professor in recent memory.

After all, Professor Wilson was Lucy's mentor, and he knew very well how difficult it would be for a female student to turn her back once he made up his mind.

"Lucy, don't think of everything so simply. Maybe you should ask your parents for advice first. They are your life mentors, and you should listen to what they say." The old professor began the final resistance, maybe the family can make their own What about schoolgirls changing their minds?

"God, Wilson, what are you talking about? I made a decision, and they will only support me. You know, my parents have no prejudice against Huaxia, otherwise they wouldn't let me learn Chinese from an early age Have you forgotten, I can speak Chinese. And they were in favor of me traveling more when I was young. Huaxia is a place that even they have never been to. They will definitely be happy and look forward to my coming back to tell them about Huaxia. What I heard. Oh my god, this is wonderful! I want to apply for a visa as soon as possible, and submit a resignation report by the way. Fortunately, I didn’t sign a long-term contract, so it won’t be too much trouble.” Lucy Ron said happily.

The old professor didn't want to say anything at all, he just wanted to give himself two slaps...

After a long silence, the old professor said, "Then do you want to contact Ning first?"

"Contact him? No, no, I didn't go to China for him? Maybe I can surprise you!"

Not for him, but to scare him again?Well, the old professor doubted that Lucy Ron had thought about why she wanted to go to Huaxia.It's just that seeing the girl who is getting more and more determined, he doesn't want to talk at all!

Damn young and impulsive!

……

When the discussions in foreign academic circles were the most heated, voices began to appear on the Huaxia Network to discuss Ning Wei's solution to the NS equation.Yes, it is another export to domestic sales.But this time it really has nothing to do with the slow response of the domestic network, the main reason is that the dissertation was too low-key.

Let's put it this way, when the editor of the Journal of Mathematics saw this paper, if the author's name was not too cool, he would probably have thrown it directly into the trash can.How should I put it, which big guy has researched this proposition and can't vote outside.This is Ning Wei. Generally speaking, other bigwigs are unable to do this at this stage.

Editing is also difficult...

The domestic government wanted to find someone to review, but Yanbei University directly refused the review on the grounds of avoiding suspicion, and the country could only find other big bosses to review.At the same time, this is a proposition that the world is concerned about. It is definitely not enough for domestic bigwigs to review it. The editors began to help translate this paper into English. After looking for someone to polish it, they began to look for similar research directions around the world. The big guys come to judge.

The Chinese Journal of Mathematics found a total of seven international reviewers, and after obtaining the consent of Ning Wei, they also posted the paper on the pre-release website of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.Of course, all of this is also selfish, that is to expand the influence of Huaxia Mathematics Journal.No way, although the Chinese Journal of Mathematics is already considered the leading dual-core mathematics journal in China, it is still not well-known internationally.

This paper can at least help Huaxia Mathematics Journal to get acquainted with those recognized top mathematics experts in the world.The effect is naturally leveraged. Ning Wei, San Yue, and the paper on solving the NS equation are so high-level. These factors are added together, at least in terms of finding reviewers, it can be said that there is no disadvantage.

It made the news spread quickly on the external network, and the effect of spreading it to the internal network is also obvious.

In addition to Ning Wei's solution to a worldwide problem that was hotly discussed, the paper that solved the world's difficult problem was not submitted to a top foreign journal in mathematics, but was submitted to a domestic journal, which also became a hot topic.

For example, there are two questions on a hot list.

"How much contribution has Ningwei made to the world of mathematics and physics by solving the NS equation problem? And what far-reaching impact will it bring?"

"Why did Ningwei submit his paper on solving the NS equation to the Huaxia Journal of Mathematics instead of choosing the four most influential journals in mathematics in the world?"

Of course, this is also thanks to Ning Wei. After all, this is the top mathematician in China at present. Every time there is not only one hot search, but usually two.

The only pity is that a certain blog looks very lonely this time, because Ning Wei didn't take the initiative to post it on Weibo this time...

Do you think publishing this paper is no big deal?

The science popularization about Ning Wei's promotion of mathematics progress on the Internet is almost overwhelmed, and he doesn't even post on Weibo?Really, countless netizens have already made all the preparations, just waiting for Ning Wei to pretend to be aggressive on his public voice channel. Everyone even thought about how to reply, but Ning Wei didn't pay attention to the hot topic on the Internet at all. discuss.

This left many Ningwei fans at a loss.

While many science popularization big Vs are constantly telling ordinary netizens that the solution of the popular science NS equation is of great significance to the world's mathematical theory circles, they also keep @宁微, hoping he can stand up and say a few words, but unfortunately this summoning technique has not See the effect.
