The Mathematical Society of the United States, abbreviated as AMS.

Together with the United States Mathematics Association, that is, MAA, it is the two giant organizations of the United States Mathematics Alliance.

Of course, the two major organizations that can become the most influential in the mathematical community in the United States are not only due to the advantage of a large number of people.

It is more because of the contribution of AMS and MAA to mathematics research and mathematics education in the United States.

And this, the leadership of each chairman is indispensable.

As Chen Zhou knows, Professor Francis, the current president of the MAA.

His dedication to breaking down barriers and pursuing the five basic needs of mathematics is not nothing short of noble.

The MAA has a president like Francis, and the AMS naturally has it.

The Cole Prize was established to commemorate Professor Frank Nelson Cole, who has served the Mathematical Society of the United States for 25 years.

Chen Zhou was on his way to Providence at this time, but not by plane.

AMS is headquartered in Providence.

It is the capital of the Rhode Island state and home to Brown University, a prestigious private Ivy League university.

Chen Zhou was indeed preparing to take a flight from Boston at the beginning.

Even the plane ticket, he has already bought it.

It's just that before he could leave for the day, he was "refunded" by two warm-hearted brothers.

The news about Chen Zhou's winning the Cole's Number Theory Award has been crazy for a long time.

Not only abroad, but also at home.

Although Chen Zhou did not pay attention to the news in this regard, the reports of various domestic news media can be said to be solid, pushing Chen Zhou up again.

Chen Zhou's popularity in China has also reached its peak.

In the past, when Chen Zhou solved mathematical conjectures, various media and people who eat melons were speculating whether he could win any mathematics awards.

But the result didn't wait for Chen Zhou to win the award, but waited until he killed three mathematical conjectures in a row.

This made the media and the people who eat melons more excited, and they are also more looking forward to whether Chen Zhou can win any mathematics awards.

The Fields Medal can not be extravagant, but the others, after all, still have the ability?

Not to mention foreign countries, there are also many mathematics awards in China?

They didn't believe that Chen Zhou couldn't get any of them.

They've been waiting for it, too.

It was not until recently that the news that Chen Zhou won the Kohl Number Theory Award finally reached China.

For this long-awaited news, naturally, the media from all walks of life and the people who eat melons are completely boiling.

If Chen Zhou opens Weibo now and goes up to take a look.

He will find out how there is so much news about him.

Moreover, some people listed the mathematics awards at home and abroad, one by one, whether Chen Zhou could win the award.

I have to say that Chen Zhou has successfully won the attention and expectations of countless people in China.

Therefore, Yenching University began to prepare as soon as it got the news.

There are so many international students at Yenching University outside, so can't this arrange a wave for Chen Zhou?

Although the Cole Number Theory Award is not as high as the Fields Medal, it is also the highest award in the field of number theory.

Moreover, this is the first time that Huaguo's own mathematician has won this award.

Therefore, Yan University plans to contact the international students here to help Chen Zhou arrange to receive the award.

Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu became the best candidates because of the previous MIT academic exchanges.

In this regard, Chen Zhou could only say that Dean Sun and they were too polite.

Although I am still a student at Yan University, it is not good to always use the school's public funds to "travel"?

Thinking so, Chen Zhou still took the initiative to convey this arrangement to the two senior brothers who came to the door to ask if they were responsible for purchasing tickets.

Hearing Chen Zhou's question, Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu were stunned at the same time.

After asking about Chen Zhou's situation, they couldn't help but laugh.

AMS's headquarters, Providence, is only about 70 kilometers away from Boston......

Most people choose to travel to Providence by bus or train.

And it's only an hour's journey by train, and the fare is more than 100 yuan.

After being reminded by the two, Chen Zhou also reacted.

No wonder this ticket is so cheap......

Eventually, the three of them decided to drive over after amicable negotiation.

In this way, it is also more convenient along the way.

Liu Maosheng's car was purchased as soon as he came to the United States.

The price of buying a car abroad will be much cheaper, relatively speaking.

Moreover, this car also has a great effect on improving the life of his and Zeng Zigu's sisters.

On the way, Liu Maosheng also suggested to Chen Zhou: "Chen Zhou, now that you are familiar with life here, do you want to buy a trolley? And the function of the car, really a lot of ......"

Chen Zhou didn't understand what the other party meant at first, but replied: "Don't think about it for the time being, wait until next year." ”

After Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu chatted, Chen Zhou suddenly realized.

Damn, you two are all like that?!

However, Chen Zhou's desire to buy a car was also stimulated.

Not to mention anything else, when Yang Yiyi came back from LIGO, Chen Zhou could drive to pick her up.

Just thinking about it, it's still a little excited.

Chen Zhou: They set off from MIT at 1 p.m. on the 19th.

Exactly after an hour's drive, they arrived in Providence.

According to the information in the invitation letter, Chen Zhou and the others came to the hotel where they stayed, the Providence Hotel.

AMS will host a mathematical academic exchange at its headquarters in Providence and an award ceremony for the Cole Number Theory Prize.

Originally, AMS planned to hold this academic exchange and the award ceremony of the Cole Prize in Princeton, but unfortunately, Princeton was the first to be taken.

An academic exchange conference on high-energy physics is being held, and it is not possible to carry out this academic exchange at the same time.

After AMS got the news, it simply held this academic exchange conference at its headquarters.

At the front desk of the hotel, Chen Zhou showed the invitation letter he received.

The young lady at the front desk immediately checked in Chen Zhou and gave her a sweet smile.

And Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu were not so lucky.

The two of them did not have an invitation from AMS, so they had to stay at their own expense.

AMS did not charter the entire hotel for the winners, their family and friends.

Only the mathematician who has received an invitation to participate will pay for the room he or she will be paid for by AMS.

The rest of the people who came to participate spontaneously or organized to come all at their own expense.

Fortunately, Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu were entrusted by Yan Da, even if the room here is about 1,000 yuan a night, they don't have to care too much.

It's just that AMS's approach still made the two complain for a long time.

Of course, when the two complained, the object of comparison was just the Nobel Prize.

It is said that when the Nobel Prize is awarded, the family and friends of the winner will be properly arranged.

There is no need for the winners to put a single effort on their own.

Which is like this AMS......
