Chapter 716: Officially Joined
Chapter 716
Bao Songquan rented the second conference hall of the Yenching International Conference Center.
In other words.
The seminar can accommodate more than 1,500 spectators.
It was twice as many as the audience at Gu Lu's last report meeting.
"Are so many people willing to come over and listen?" Gu Lu couldn't help but ask worriedly.
To be honest, this report is mainly aimed at foreign mathematicians.
And the cost of traveling back and forth from abroad to China is a lot of money, especially for mathematicians in Europe and the United States.
Gu Lu was worried.
Are there so many mathematicians willing to pay to come and listen to this presentation?
Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to have only half of the attendance in the conference hall of more than 1,500 people.
To know.
At present, it is estimated that there are only about 2,000 mathematicians in the fields of geometry, algebra, and topology in their respective countries.
And according to the grade of Gu Lu's report meeting.
Except in China, it is unlikely that a group of mathematicians who are just for fun or insight will be invited to listen to the lecture.
Bao Songquan heard Gu Lu's worries, patted Gu Lu's shoulder, laughed and spoke, "Gu Lu, your worry is completely unnecessary, don't worry, I promise to make more than 1,500 positions full when the time comes!"
Gu Lu was worried that 1,500 seats would not be satisfied.
But Bao Songquan was worried about whether 1,500 seats would be enough.
Gu Lu's influence, Bao Songquan couldn't be clearer.
It can be said that ......
Even if Gu Lu just held an ordinary report meeting, it is estimated that five or six hundred mathematicians will come to cheer.
What's more.
This time, there is also the existence of such a big killer as the "geometry-algebra-topology grand unified theory".
Gu Law + Geometry-Algebra-Topology Grand Unification Theory.
It's not just as simple as one plus one equals two.
The first point.
Gu Lu is the first person in the domestic mathematics community to be younger, and Academician Wu, the president of the Mathematical Society, stands behind Gu Lu to endorse.
As long as there are mathematicians with sufficient qualifications in China, they will definitely participate in this seminar.
As for abroad.
For mathematicians in the fields of geometry, algebra, and topology, the advent of the geometry-algebra-topology grand unified theory will cause a great revolution.
This change is both an opportunity and a challenge.
Therefore, mathematicians in these three fields will definitely come and listen to it as long as they have time, and prepare in advance for the next great changes in the mathematical world.
In addition to mathematicians in these three fields, it is impossible for mathematicians in the rest of the mathematical community to be uninterested in this set of unified theories.
The birth of the geometry-algebra-topology grand unification theory had less of an impact on the rest of the fields, but it was also relative.
In fact.
On the whole, this set of unified theories has a greater or lesser impact on all fields of mathematics.
Do the math.
More than 1,500 people can easily get together.
As a matter of fact.
If it weren't for the first conference hall of the Yanjing International Conference Center, which can accommodate more than 5,000 people, it would not have been the second conference hall rented by Bao Songquan.
"Gu Lu, you can relax about the report meeting, I will arrange everything, all you have to do is to prepare the manuscript of the report meeting, and give a perfect performance on the day of the report meeting. Bao Songquan patted his chest and swore a promise.
Gu Lu grinned, "Senior brother, I'm sorry for you." ”
…………
Bao Songquan came to Gu Lu this time, not only to report on the progress of the preparation of the report meeting.
After a few more idle words on the matter of the report meeting, Bao Songquan talked to Gu Lu about the second topic.
"Gu Lu, do you know what those members of your research group are doing during this time?" asked Bao Songquan with a smile.
Gu Lu was stunned for a moment, "Haven't they already returned to China?" ”
The research group officially announced the conclusion of the paper as early as ten days ago, the day the paper was completed.
After settling the salary and holding a celebration banquet, it means that the cooperative relationship between Gu Lu and everyone officially ends.
Gu Lu originally thought that everyone in the research group had already gone back to their respective homes and looked for their own mothers.
But listening to the meaning of Bao Songquan's words, it doesn't seem to be like that.
"Some of them have indeed returned to China a long time ago, but there are still some people who have stayed in our country and have not left. Bao Songquan smiled.
"Didn't leave, why?" Now it was Gu Lu's turn to be confused.
Most of the researchers in the research group are foreigners, and it stands to reason that in a place like China, where people are not familiar with the place, once the research group is over, they should return to China as soon as possible.
But it has not been gone, what is the situation.
Is it nostalgia for Chinese food?
"The reason is very simple, they want to join us at Yan University of Mathematics. When he said this, Bao Songquan had tried his best to remain calm, but the constantly rising corners of his mouth still showed the joy at this time.
"Join Yan University School of Mathematics?" Hearing this, Gu Lu's eyes also lit up, "Could it be that someone in the research group is willing to serve as a visiting professor of our Yan University School of Mathematics?"
Simon, Constantine, Carl, and Alec, these four are all well-known figures who have joined the Yan University of Mathematics in recent years.
And the positions held by these four in the Institute of Mathematics of Yan University are the position of 'visiting professors'.
"No, no, no!" Bao Songquan shook his fingers and laughed, "It's not just that I became a visiting professor at our Yan University School of Mathematics. ”
Bao Songquan explained to Gu Lu with a smile on his face, "Up to now, six members of your research group have expressed their intention to serve as visiting professors in our Yan University School of Mathematics, and in addition, four members have said that they will resign from their original school and take up a formal professorship in our Yan University!"
Hearing Bao Songquan's explanation, Gu Lu was a little surprised and speechless for a while.
The six members are willing to become visiting professors at Yan University, after all, this is within the expected range of Gu Lu.
However, a four-digit college in the research group expressed its willingness to become a professor at Yan University and enjoy the formal establishment, which Gu Lu never expected.
The 50 members of the research group are all carefully selected by Gu Lu, and it can be said that all of them are high-quality talents in their respective fields.
Therefore, no matter who these four mathematicians choose to join Yan University as professors, the improvement of Yan University's teaching strength is undoubtedly quite huge.
This can really be said to be a blessing from heaven.
Gu Lu didn't expect that there would be such an additional benefit to completing the geometry-algebra-topology grand unification theory.
"Senior brother, do you have a list of these ten mathematicians there?" Gu Lu asked in a slightly anxious and excited tone.
"Ah, here it is. Bao Songquan took out a folded A4 paper from his pocket and handed it to Gu Lu.
