Omnipotent Data

? Chapter 475

the next day.

Under Professor Fang's matchmaking, Cheng Nuo met Zhang Wei in a coffee shop near the school.

*****, Zhang Wei is wearing a simple plaid shirt.

Cheng Nuo shook hands with Zhang Wei cordially.

Senior Brother Zhang, hello.

Cheng Nuo, it's an honor to meet you.

Cheng Nuo asked the waiter to serve two cups of coffee, and the two chatted while drinking.

After a few simple greetings, they went straight to the point.

Cheng Nuo, I heard from Professor Fang that you want to study the BSD conjecture?

Zhang Wei had already learned from Professor Fang the purpose of Cheng Nuo's appointment to meet him, and his tone of voice was still slightly shocked.

but……

That's BSD conjecture!

To prove the BSD conjecture, Zhang Wei just thinks about it in his spare time, but if he really puts it into practice.

To be honest, Zhang Wei didn't have that courage, nor did he have that confidence!

Well, my goal for the next stage is BSD conjecture! Cheng Nuo smiled wryly and shook his head, This can be regarded as one of my obsessions. If I don't try it, I won't be reconciled.

Cheng Nuo looked at Zhang Wei with Chen Ken's gaze, So, I hope that senior brother can come and help me.

Zhang Wei was silent for a few seconds before asking, How sure are you?

Fifty percent, at least fifty percent!

Okay, I'll join!

This time Zhang Wei did not hesitate.

50% certainty is enough!

Many scientific research projects he had done before were not even 100% sure before he actually started the topic.

It's not that he stumbled down.

In comparison, the possibility of 50% is worth fighting for.

Once the BSD conjecture proves to be successful, not only will Cheng Nuo benefit, but his status in the Chinese mathematics community will also rise.

If you fail, you will only lose some time.

Brother, happy cooperation!

Happy cooperation!

…………

Getting brother Zhang Wei to help out made Cheng Nuo feel a lot easier.

In the afternoon after the interview with Zhang Wei, Cheng Nuo went directly to the Institute of Mathematics under Tsinghua University.

There are about 30 resident researchers in the Institute of Mathematics every year.

With the addition of some associate researchers and research assistants, the number reaches more than 100.

The institute consists of a director and three deputy directors.

It just so happened that a deputy director retired this year, and Cheng Nuo directly parachuted over to fill his position.

Without fanfare, Cheng Nuo went straight to his office under the leadership of a research assistant from the institute.

Cheng Nuo spent the whole afternoon writing the project application report.

Since it was just a formality, Cheng Nuo quickly got it done, and then submitted it to the National Natural Science Foundation of China as the deputy director of his research institute to apply for project approval and research funding.

The approval process will take a few days, and Cheng Nuo is not in a hurry.

Taking advantage of this time, Cheng Nuo could choose the doctoral students he wanted to lead.

Up to now, Cheng Nuo has received more than 100 emails from students.

The purpose is also very clear, that is, to let Cheng Nuo accept them and study Ph.D. under Cheng Nuo in the next period of time.

Cheng Nuo had just obtained the qualification of doctoral supervisor this year.

According to common sense, most doctoral students will not be so enthusiastic about such professors who have obtained doctoral supervisor qualifications in the first year, but are out of a rational wait-and-see state.

Generally speaking, there are only three or two big cats and small cats who are willing to apply for his doctoral examination.

It will take two or three years for this sparse situation to improve.

But Cheng Nuo is different!

Among other things, a winner of the Veblen Award alone is enough for Cheng Nuo to crush 99% of the doctoral supervisors in Huaguo.

What's more, except for those academician-level bosses who disdain to be doctoral supervisors, in terms of geometry, Cheng Nuo is unmatched by anyone in China.

Moreover, I heard that Cheng Nuo has also made extraordinary achievements in other fields of mathematics.

If you become a doctoral student under Cheng Nuo's school, you will not only receive the personal teaching of the Veblen Award leader, but also with Cheng Nuo's status in the international mathematics community, it is easy to come across the opportunity to go abroad to broaden your horizons.

After reading a few resumes, Cheng Nuo lost the patience to continue reading.

What a waste of time!

Moreover, the content on the resume was similar, but with this, Cheng Nuo couldn't judge a student's specific math level.

It would be even more troublesome to interview one by one. BSD guessed that after the project process was completed, Cheng Nuo was ready to devote most of his energy to it, and he didn't have that free time.

Come up with a question!

After thinking for a long time, Cheng Nuo decided to use the simplest and rudest way.

After more than ten minutes, Cheng Nuo came up with a set of test questions and emailed them to more than a hundred students.

Five questions ranging in difficulty from graduate level to doctoral level.

The content of the investigation covered various fields of mathematics, but in Cheng Nuo's view, they were all very basic topics, and the degree of difficulty was not high.

And one of the conditions for wanting to be a doctoral student is to do all these five questions correctly.

So, when many graduate students received Cheng Nuo's email, they thought Cheng Nuo had agreed to accept him as a student, but after opening the email, the smile froze on their faces.

Afterwards, he hastily dug out the paper and pen, lowered his head and wrote vigorously.

…………

It was different from the situation where Cheng Nuo was extremely lively and had to pass tests to screen out most of the students.

On the other hand, many doctoral supervisors at Tsinghua University are very puzzled.

This year's situation...is a bit wrong!

Professor Qi Feng is one of them.

In previous years, during the period before the start of doctoral students, there were about a dozen students who sent him an application intention by email.

But this year, he received only three emails in total!

This made Professor Qi puzzled, and even a little skeptical about life.

He began to reflect on himself.

Did the news that he was too strict with his students get out?

Or, he looks a little too fierce?

ding ding ding ~~

Just when Professor Qi was doubting his life, there were several crisp beeps from the phone.

Turning on the phone, Professor Qi found several more emails in his mailbox.

The emails were all sent by graduate students who were about to enter school in a few days. As for the content, they naturally sincerely hoped that Professor Qi could serve as their doctoral supervisor.

One, two, three,... eleven!

Professor Qi held the phone and counted happily.

Eleven emails, plus the previous three, made a total of fourteen.

The result is good. It seems that I am quite popular among the students! Professor Qi let go of his worries, and the previous depression was also swept away.

However, what made him extremely puzzled was why the next eleven emails were sent at almost the same time, and why they were delayed until now.

So what were these students doing before this?

…………

Oh, I've been dismissed! The topic is too difficult. It seems that I have no chance with Professor Cheng, so I can only switch to Professor Qi's arms! A boy said with a bitter face, full of depression, and pressed the button , and send the edited email half a month ago to Professor Qi Feng's mailbox.
