I am really a language teacher

This time, the International Mathematical Union put the speech address of the annual meeting in the auditorium of New York University, which not only saved a venue fee, but also made New York University pay a lot of sponsorship fees.After all, New England is an area where several universities in the United States are quite concentrated. In order to attract donations, universities must find some high-level institutions to cooperate with.Obviously, the International Mathematical Union is a good institution.

Although New York University has spent a lot of manpower and financial resources in order to allow the International Mathematical Union to host the annual meeting here, but in a blink of an eye they will become the subject of reports by major professional magazines or scientific publications along with this annual meeting.Therefore, in the next few years, the donation amount of New York University should have a significant increase, so this sponsorship fee is nothing.

Because of this, the president, vice president, and dean of the Department of Mathematics of New York University were all waiting for the delegates at the school.And some active college students also acted as volunteers to help receive these representatives in the school.

Because Professor Gao is Sun Ping's teacher, Sun Ping is naturally the most senior receptionist.Because there was a bit of a traffic jam from the hotel to New York University, Sun Ping simply rented a helicopter to go there.Because of the large number of people, Sun Ping specially rented two helicopters.Fortunately, New York University still has a lot of open space, otherwise it would be really difficult to welcome people who come to the conference by plane.Although the people in the same company reminded whether it would be too high-profile, Professor Gao didn't care.

"Don't we have another way? The roads in New York are too congested. Since we can't get through on the ground, we can only fly over. Besides, we have solved the Poincaré conjecture this time. Do you think we can do it in a low-key way?" Is it possible to keep a low profile? Also, this young man Sun Ping loves to play too much. He won the championship of the International Poker Grand Prix after only a few days in the United States. I heard that many media are blocking the New York University Want to interview."

If you exclude the noise and discomfort of the helicopter, it is indeed a very good means of transportation.In just half an hour, Sun Ping and his team arrived at New York University at an almost impossible speed.As soon as we got off the plane, volunteer students from New York University came to welcome us.Most of these volunteer students are members of the student union or some clubs. Although they stay and help without pay (basic board, lodging and drinking water are still provided), they can get goodwill from the school and valuable letters of recommendation.

Don't think that Americans are born good people. A big reason why Americans are passionate about charity and volunteer work is that they have other interests.Except for a few saints, most people still come for profit.Simply put, charitable donations are tax-avoidable.In particular, the inheritance tax in the United States is frighteningly high, coupled with the worry that the younger generation will not be good at managing money, so most of the rich will set up charitable funds and family funds.Family funds are used for investment, and investment income is used to ensure that their offspring will not be poor; while charitable funds are used to offset various taxes.Of course, some people think that this is not another form of tax evasion?In fact, the U.S. government has very strict regulations on charitable funds and charitable donations. The operating expenses of charitable funds are subject to public investigation. Once the rules are violated, the fines are almost sky-high.

Volunteering experience is also a valuable experience in personal resumes. Like Easterners, Westerners also think that people with good intentions are not bad, so the first impression of them will be much better.What's more, volunteer organizations don't just want you to do things. Many volunteer organizations actually provide professional skills training. It is also a good choice to learn a craft.

With the help of volunteers, Sun Ping and others found the venue.Sun Ping and Professor Gao went to the common room first, and there were already many people there.It's a pity that Sun Ping is still a rookie in the field of mathematics, so his eyes are completely blind.Fortunately, Professor Gao took Sun Ping around and exchanged pleasantries with many important people.Originally, when these people heard that Sun Ping was a doctoral student of Professor Gao, they looked down upon him, but Professor Gao immediately introduced Sun Ping as the author of the proof paper on the Poincaré conjecture.

The mathematics circle is also a place where young people eat. Everyone’s important achievements are published in the age group of 25 to 40. Once they are 50 years old, most people can only get seniority.Now that Sun Ping is in the golden age of mathematicians, and he has just solved the Poincaré conjecture, do you dare to say that he will not solve a few more conjectures in the future?It is said that the Mohist Mathematics Award of Cathay has been determined to be him, and the Euler Award is also very likely to be him.The question now is whether the Pythagoras Award will also be awarded to Sun Ping. If so, then Sun Ping may be the youngest winner of the Mathematics Grand Slam.But even if there is no chance this year, the current youngest winner of the Grand Slam Mathematics Award was only won at the age of 43.At Sun Ping's age, he still has at least 20 years to pursue this honor.

After walking around for a while, Sun Ping also received a lot of business cards from great mathematicians.They either invited Sun Ping to continue to come to their school to study for a doctorate; or suggested that Sun Ping come to this school as a professor of mathematics, and everyone can learn from each other.In this regard, Professor Gao is naturally venomous.Professor Gao has already reserved Sun Ping to come to Southern Institute of Technology as a professor of mathematics, and he will succeed him as the head of the mathematics department in the future.How can my own plan be disrupted by you villains?

After communicating in the lounge for more than half an hour, the organizing committee finally notified everyone to enter the venue.Since Professor Gao is the vice-chairman of the Mathematical Federation, he will naturally sit on the rostrum, while Sun Ping is arranged in the front row because he needs to give a speech.In fact, the process of the annual meeting is very simple. First, the chairman summarizes the development of the mathematics field this year, and then looks forward to the possibility of next year.Immediately afterwards, the chief financial officer came to the stage to announce the final financial accounts of this year, and asked all the participants to approve it.

Finally, there is the commendation meeting and the speeches of the awardees that everyone loves to see.Although the Pythagoras Prize is affiliated to the International Mathematical Union, it is not awarded at the annual meeting, but is in charge of a special independent Pythagoras Prize Selection Committee.Therefore, the awards presented at the annual meeting of the International Mathematical Union are: the highest international mathematics award, the international mathematics application award, the international mathematics cooperation and promotion award, the international mathematics education award and the international youth mathematics award.Winners can be individuals or groups, and the prize money is also good.

Firstly, the International Youth Mathematics Award was awarded. The winner was a high school student in India, who took away a prize of 5 US dollars; The Mathematics Cooperation and Promotion Award was won by Aurora Education Publishing House's "Learning Mathematics with Ma Guoan", and the editorial board received a reward of 10 US dollars; the International Mathematics Application Award was won by an astrophysics laboratory in France, because they will Combining mathematics and astrophysics, the research on gravitational waves in outer space has been raised to a higher level, so they took away the $10 reward.Of course, the final highest international mathematics award was Sun Ping, for which Sun Ping received a prize of 20 US dollars.

After receiving the trophy and bonus, Sun Ping smiled on the podium: "I also made a sum of money in Atlantic City last night, but unfortunately I donated it because of the IRS. I heard that this bonus was obtained by the US Federal The government's tax-exempt license, so the IRS inspectors don't have to follow me anymore."

Sun Ping's self-deprecation got good-natured laughter from the audience. It is almost normal for mathematicians to like to play poker, and many students majoring in mathematics also like to be professional poker players.

"First of all, I would like to thank the International Mathematical Union for awarding me this year's International Mathematics Grand Prize. Secondly, I would like to thank my supervisor, Professor Gao, for guiding me in my thesis. Finally, I would also like to thank those seniors in mathematics for their continuous development. , so that we can walk more easily on the road to solving difficult problems. It has been said that mathematics is the foundation of all sciences. The progress of mathematics is bound to drive the progress of human society and make our lives better and better.”

As a Chinese graduate, Sun Ping naturally came up with such a high-level speech.After speaking for half an hour, it was finally time for questions.Many people at the meeting had many inferences about the Poincaré conjecture, so they started discussing it with Sun Ping.Fortunately, after systematic special training, Sun Ping's understanding of Poincaré's conjecture is far better than anyone else's, so there is no problem at all when answering questions.

"You performed well at the venue today, but I underestimated you." After returning to the hotel, Professor Gao deliberately chatted with Sun Ping.

"You must have received invitations from many universities today, right? My suggestion to you is that it doesn't make much sense to study for a doctorate in mathematics. Our domestic mathematics research is at the same level as the international one. Find another university to study. A doctorate in mathematics is a waste of time. As for going to a foreign university to be a professor of mathematics, I think it’s good to be a visiting professor. Don’t spend too much time. Now there are many research universities in China. If you are interested in mathematics, Southern Institute of Technology It can also satisfy you. You don’t need to take too many classes, and spend most of your time doing research. Although there are no top-level mathematics journals in China, this does not represent the future.”

Sun Ping didn't intend to major in mathematics, so he thought it would be good to stay in China, so he made a promise.Because Sun Ping still needs to participate in the US Open and the Bach International Piano Invitational Competition, Professor Gao and his party left for the time being.

Sun Ping will participate in the Charity Cup Challenge at the US Open. To put it bluntly, it is an exhibition match, similar to the one at the Australian Open.However, the Bach Piano International Invitational Competition is a real main competition. At the same time, Jin Weijia was also allowed to participate in the main competition because of her performance in the Tchaikovsky Piano Competition.Although the Australian Open and the Bach Piano Competition were held almost at the same time, the Charity Cup was not strong, so it did not delay Sun Ping's piano competition.

But what Sun Ping didn't expect was that he was still the focus of the media.As the champion of the International Poker Grand Prix, he came to participate in the US Open and the Piano Competition. Isn't there too much for this genius?Especially when he won the mathematics award of the International Mathematical Union some time ago, many people suggested that the American Academy of Sciences should capture Sun Ping for a slice study.Sun Ping was frightened into a cold sweat by this proposal. Fortunately, this proposal was rejected by the American Academy of Sciences.But on the surface, scientific research institutions don't know how to do it, so what about privately?Some scientific madmen completely disregard scientific ethics and even dare to clone humans.

Sun Ping thought about it, and it was more reliable to hire a group of reliable bodyguards by phone.Guo Yi made fun of Sun Ping's worries for a long time, but he also agreed with Sun Ping to bring bodyguards.

Regardless of the preliminaries of the Charity Cup or the Bach Piano Competition, Sun Ping easily passed the finals of the two competitions.
