Chapter 717

Bao Songquan handed Gu Lu a list of ten members of the research group.

Gu Lu took it and glanced at it.

When Gu Lu's gaze fell on the first name on the list, his face was suddenly surprised.

"Alec!"

Gu Lu said these three words in an aggravated tone.

That's right.

One of the four mathematicians who decided to join Yan University as a full-fledged professor was none other than Aggreko!

Gu Lu had thought about many possibilities for the names of the four mathematicians.

But I really didn't expect it.

Alec's name will appear on this list.

Because he lost the bet two years ago, Alec was coerced by Gu Lu to sign an employment contract and become a visiting professor at the Yan University School of Mathematics.

But this time......

Gu Lu didn't coerce Alec into anything.

Alec still chose to resign and teach at Yan University, which Gu Lu did not expect.

Visiting professor and full professor, these are two completely different positions.

A mathematician can be a visiting professor at several schools.

However, in the case of a full professor, a mathematician can only join a university as a full professor.

Moreover.

Alec's resignation from the original school means that he has offended the original school to some extent.

Once Alec is unsatisfactory in Yan Dachao and wants to return to the original school, most likely the original school will not take in Alec again.

For Aggreko, the risk factor is not small.

"Alec is quite bold this time!" Gu Lu looked at the list in his hand and muttered in a low voice.

"Who's to say it's not!" Bao Songquan nodded approvingly.

If you want to say that Bao Songquan's biggest gain this time, it should be Alec.

After all, in this list of ten people, the remaining nine people, although they are all elite mathematicians in their respective fields, are still a notch or two away from the top level.

And Alec is the only mathematician among the ten who belongs to the top level.

In the field of topology.

Alec is known as one of the geniuses, almost having the same position as Simon in the field of algebraic geometry.

Although in the research of this project, Alec was steadily pressed by Professor Doyle and the leaders of the other module groups.

But in fact, in the entire topological field, even if you count all those mathematicians of the older generation, it is said that you can hold down Alec steadily, not more than the number of hands.

For the Yan University School of Mathematics, with the official addition of such a mathematician, the improvement of its strength is definitely quite obvious.

"Then this time, we really earned it!" Bao Songquan laughed.

"Killing two birds with one stone, the establishment of this unification theory project is quite meaningful. Gu Lu nodded.

This time, the research group not only completed the construction of the geometry-algebra-topology unified theory, but also recruited such a large number of high-quality talents for the Yan University School of Mathematics.

On the one hand, Gu Lu was happy for the Yan University Academy, and on the other hand, he was happy that he was getting closer and closer to the requirements of the system task.

…………

The other side.

Alec is in the apartment where Yan Da temporarily lives.

While Gu Lu and Bao Songquan agreed that Yan Dashu Academy had earned it, Alec also felt that he had earned it.

Alec wasn't such a comfort-hungry man.

But at the same time, Alec is not a risky and aggressive character.

The reason why he chose to resign from his original school and join Yan University to teach at the School of Mathematics this time was because of his own considerations.

There are several reasons for this.

First.

Alec believes that his future is limited if he continues to stay at his old school.

Alec is a Danish mathematician by and through.

Needless to say, Denmark's position in the entire mathematical community is clear, and it can only barely rank in the third echelon.

There is a lot of distance even from countries like China and island countries, not to mention the gap with the United States and Germany, which are major mathematical powers.

Alec was previously a faculty member at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark.

The University of Copenhagen is currently the number one university in Denmark in terms of overall strength.

Looking at the world, the University of Copenhagen can only rank in the top 90, barely entering the top 100 in the world.

If Alec continues to stay at the University of Copenhagen, although he can go one step further, and even have a glimmer of hope to attack the Fields Medal, but that's all.

In his life, it is almost impossible for him to stand at the top of the pyramid of mathematics.

To put it simply, the pond in Denmark is too small to accommodate him, a fish that yearns for a golden carp dragon.

Especially during this period of time, after being attacked by Professor Doyle in the same research group and field in all aspects of dimensionality reduction, Alec understood this truth.

So.

For the sake of subsequent development, it is very necessary to change the court.

But......

After leaving his old school, where is Alec going?

This has to be said to be the second reason why Alec chose to join the Yan University Mathematics Academy.

It stands to reason.

Alec, a top mathematician, no matter where he goes after resigning, even in places like the United States and Yingguo, he will be scrambling for it.

But why did Aggreko choose Yan University Mathematics Academy?

And it was still in the case that there was such a former rival as Gu Lu in the Yan University Academy.

The reason is simple.

Because Alec foresaw the signs of the imminent rapid rise of the Yan University Academy.

The opportunity for its rise lies in the unified theory of geometry-algebra-topology.

Predictably.

After the geometry-algebra-topology theory is recognized by everyone in the mathematical community, it will definitely cause countless mathematicians to compete for research.

However, as one of the creators of the geometry-algebra-topology theory, Aggreko clearly understood how difficult it was to fully integrate this theory.

When the time comes.

It is inevitable for mathematicians to exchange ideas and even research results with each other.

Where should the exchange seminar and the results exchange meeting be chosen?

It must be in Huaguo Yanda.

After all, Hua Guoyanda is the birthplace of the geometry-algebra-topology grand unification theory, and there is also the existence of Gu Lu, the 'father of the grand unification theory'.

That's right, at present, in the outside world, Gu Lu already has the title of 'Father of the Great Unification Theory', as long as he waits for the verification results of the four major journals, Gu Lu's title can be completely confirmed.

In a word.

In the future, countless mathematicians will gather at the Yan University School of Mathematics.

The Yanda Academy of Mathematics will naturally become the center of geometry, algebra and topology in the minds of mathematicians all over the world.

You must know that there are only a few branches of mathematics, and the Yanda Academy of Mathematics directly occupies three in one go, and it is difficult to rise or not.

What Alec wants is to take this express train when the Yan University Academy has not yet shown its upward trend.

Afterwards.

After the complete rise of the Yan University Academy, as an insider, Alec will definitely benefit a lot.
