Chapter 635

Next.

While eating breakfast, Gu Lu scanned the mail in the mailbox, screening the mathematicians who met the requirements.

Right now.

There are only about ten days left until the official opening date.

And Gu Lu also screened out 20 mathematicians who met the requirements from nearly 100 self-recommended resumes.

According to Gu Lu's expectations.

The size of the research group should not be too small.

The geometry-algebra-topology topic is too big.

There are few people, and people can't do it at all.

So.

Thirty people is the minimum requirement.

So far, Gu Lu has screened out 20 mathematicians who meet the requirements.

In the next ten days, it should not be a problem to find ten more mathematicians.

At this point, Gu Lu didn't have much worry.

Here's the problem, though......

It's true that the number of thirty mathematicians can be combined.

But in the number of top mathematicians, Gu Lu is still one place behind.

Including Gu Lu himself, there are only three people in the research group who can be regarded as the top mathematicians in the world.

Gu Lu is responsible for the overall planning.

Simon is in charge of the geometric plates.

Aggreko is responsible for the topology plate.

Well, there's one more person missing.

Gu Lu also needs a person with sufficient ability to lead the entire algebra section.

But......

Where can I find someone?

Gu Lu knows not many mathematicians in the field of algebra.

But there is no one who deserves the word 'top'.

"Alas!"

Sighing lightly, Gu Lu rubbed his eyebrows worriedly.

In the end, if there is really no way, I can only let Simon have a part-time job and take charge of the algebra section.

Just when Gu Lu sighed here.

Gu Lu's mobile phone on the desk suddenly rang.

Someone called.

Gu Lu glanced at the caller.

Academician Wu.

The caller was the current president of the Chinese Mathematical Society, Academician Wu.

Gu Lu quickly chose to connect.

"Hey, Old Wu. Holding the phone, Gu Lu said politely.

"Where are you now?" Academician Wu asked with a smile.

"At home. Gu Lu replied.

"How's the preparation of the research group?"

"It went well. ”

"It's a geometry-algebra-topology theory, it's not simple at all, but you have to deal with it carefully. ”

"Elder Wu, I know. ”

"Hehe, Gu Lu, don't be so nervous, I didn't come to persuade you to give up this subject. - There are some things that are important for someone to do. If the mathematical community wants to achieve perfection, it is an inevitable step to construct a unified theory of geometry-algebra-topology, and you are just the first to take this step. ”

"Then Wu Lao, what is your call ......?"

Gu Lu didn't believe that Academician Wu called this time just to talk to himself about this.

"Haha, you guessed it right, I do have something to tell you, don't worry, it's a good thing. Academician Wu said with a smile.

Gu Lu calmed his mind, "Elder Wu, you say." ”

"I heard Xiaobao say that there is a shortage of people in your research group now?" Academician Wu asked.

The small bag in Academician Wu's mouth is naturally Bao Songquan.

"There is no shortage of ordinary mathematicians, although the evaluation of my subject at the national forum is mixed, but there is no shortage of mathematicians who have signed up. However, in the area of top-level mathematicians, I have found two people who are responsible for geometry and topology, but there is still a lack of a mathematician for the algebra part. Gu Lu didn't hide it and replied truthfully.

"That's really the case. Academician Wu muttered for a moment, and then spoke, "The reason why I called you this is because of this matter." ”

Gu Lu's eyes lit up, "Old Wu, you mean, you can help me find someone." ”

Academician Wu replied with a smile, "It's not to help you find someone, it's that I've already found someone for you!"

Already found?

Gu Lu was stunned for a moment, and then his face was happy.

"Aren't you missing someone to be in charge of the entire algebra section now, and it just so happens that the one I found for you can be in charge of this position. Academician Wu spoke.

"Who is it?" Gu Lu couldn't help but ask.

"Zhang Wei!" Academician Wu did not sell Guan Zi, and directly spit out a person's name.

Zhang wei!

Gu Lu's mind quickly recalled the relevant information about this person.

Gu Lu is no stranger to the name Zhang Wei.

And without Academician Wu's description, Gu Lu knew who this Zhang Wei was talking about by Academician Wu.

Zhang Wei, a native of China, was born in 1981.

He studied at Yan University as an undergraduate, and went to Columbia University in the United States to study during his graduate studies.

Currently, he teaches in the Department of Mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

He is one of the few mathematicians who has obtained the title of full professor of the United States as a Chinese.

And according to the seniority, Gu Lu should call Zhang Wei a senior brother.

After all, both of them had studied at Yan University.

But......

Unlike Gu Lu, Zhang Wei's performance in his youth can only be described as mediocre.

There are no grade skips, and there are no shocking research results.

Zhang Wei spent eight years graduating from the school with a doctorate.

After graduating, Zhang Wei worked as an ordinary small lecturer at Columbia University, receiving a microwave salary.

Arguably.

Zhang Wei in his youth was an ordinary young mathematician, and there was nothing surprising about it.

In addition, because he is thin, he is even regarded as a transparent person in school.

However, Zhang Wei's situation began to change ten years ago.

Year 2011.

At that time, Zhang Wei was thirty years old.

Barely into the ranks of middle-aged people.

And in this year, Zhang Wei made a major decision.

Zhang Wei gave up the field of number theory, which he had studied for more than ten years, and turned to the arms of algebra.

That's right.

Before entering the field of algebra, Zhang Wei actually focused on the direction of number theory.

And later facts proved that Zhang Wei's decision was extremely correct.

After changing the main direction of attack to algebra, Zhang Wei's life after that seemed to be open.

In less than five years.

Zhang Wei has published three world-class achievements in succession, including group theory, group representation theory, etc.

These three achievements not only made Zhang Wei leap into the ranks of the world's first-line mathematicians, but also allowed Zhang Wei to win the first world-level award, the Kohl Algebra Prize.

And after that.

Zhang Wei went to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where the world's largest number of top mathematicians in the field of algebra gathered, and took a place in it.

Then, Zhang Wei began the mode of receiving the award while posting papers.

At the beginning of the year.

Zhang Wei has another achievement.

It was a paper on cohomology algebra.

The specific Gu Lu is not clear.

But only heard.

Zhang Wei's paper almost directly gave another subordinate branch in the field of algebra.

Arguably.

In the field of algebra.

Zhang Wei deserves the title of a top mathematician.

In fact, if Zhang Wei hadn't been too old, maybe there would be a possibility of impacting the Fields Medal.
