Chapter 685

It's September.

The people of Yanjing, who were tormented by the scorching sun, finally ushered in a touch of coolness after a long absence.

As far as Gu Lu is concerned.

This September, in addition to the work of the research group, there are other important things in the past two years.

One is the announcement of the QS World University Rankings.

The other is to recruit new students.

…………

Let's start with the QS World University Rankings.

The QS World University Rankings are released in August and September every year.

This year's list.

QS chose to announce it on its website in the early morning of September 1, New York time.

This list consists of a main list and sub-lists for each subject.

On the main list.

The rankings of Yenching University have not changed much.

Last year it was sixteen.

This year, it is 15th.

Moved forward by one place.

That's not a big one.

But all in all, it's good news.

As for on the sub-list.

Yan University ranks among the top 20 in the world in a number of disciplines.

Naturally, this includes the subject of mathematics.

Last year.

The Department of Mathematics of Yan University advanced three places in one go.

Rushed from twenty-first to eighteenth.

But this year, the rise in the mathematics department of Yan University has slowed down.

It was only two places forward to the sixteenth position in the world.

There are two main reasons for this.

One is that after the ranking of the Department of Mathematics of Yan University improved a lot last year, in the past year, the leaders of the School of Mathematics of Yan University have not been too eager for quick success, but have continued to lay a solid foundation.

Last year, the leaders of Yanda Mathematics were pleasantly surprised by the progress of three places in one go.

But they also know it.

Their foundations are not solid.

Although it has squeezed into the top 20 positions in the world of mathematics departments, there is still a lot of gap between the background and those old top schools.

Therefore.

The goal set by the leaders of the institute this year is only to stabilize the foundation and continue to accumulate the foundation, and there is no uncontrolled recruitment of talents to settle in.

On the international stage, there are very few mathematicians who are active.

In this case, it is still possible to advance two people, to be honest, it has already surprised the leaders of Yanda.

Because according to their expectations,

This year, they have successfully completed their task without retreating in the world rankings.

As for the second reason.

That's in Gu Lu.

In the whole of last year.

Gu Lu has been busy with the development of quantum computers in the semiconductor quantum chip project team for more than half a year.

This leads to:

Gu Lu, who was extremely productive the year before last.

In the past year, only one paper has been published in the field of mathematics.

Of course......

Although Gu Lu has only published one paper in the past year.

But the quality and academic value of the theoretical paper on the same generation are unmatched by a hundred papers by other mathematicians.

This year, the ranking of the Department of Mathematics of Yan University has not retreated, but has advanced.

A large part of this is due to Gu Lu's paper.

After the release of the QS World University Rankings, many people think.

If Gu Lu hadn't withdrawn from the mathematics world for more than a year, there would have been more than two places in the Department of Mathematics of Yan University this year.

Sixteen!

The leaders of this ranking institute are quite satisfied.

Because this means that as long as Yanda develops steadily, it will have a great chance to break into the top ten in the world within five years.

As for the words of the top five in the world.

Maybe there will be hope in twenty years.

But......

When Gu Lu checked the ranking of this list, he subconsciously frowned.

This ranking is not enough!

The task of the system is to allow Gu Lu to raise the ranking of the Department of Mathematics of Yan University to the top five in the world within four years.

And now.

It's been two years.

The Department of Mathematics of Yan University is ranked 16th in the world.

There is still eleven places to go before the mission goal.

Two years, eleven people.

This is a very difficult task!

But it can't be helped.

This goal, no matter how difficult it may be.

Gu Lu has to achieve it.

The difference between eleven places sounds like a lot.

But with a perfect plan, it's not impossible.

The geometry-algebra-topology theory that Gu Lu is currently working on is an extremely important part.

I want to complete the main quest this time.

The geometry-algebra-topology grand unification theory must be figured out!

…………

In addition to the announcement of the QS World University Rankings, another important thing for Gu Lu in September is the enrollment of students.

Gu Lu holds the title of doctoral supervisor in the School of Mathematics of Yan University.

According to the rules, if there are no special circumstances, it is necessary to recruit a group of students every year.

Last year.

Gu Lu couldn't get out of the way because he was in the semiconductor quantum chip project team, so he didn't accept new students.

And this year, he is back.

Then the enrollment process should proceed normally.

So Gu Lu was added to this year's doctoral supervisor list by Bao Songquan.

Moreover.

Listening to what Bao Songquan said, there are some surprises in this year's doctoral student enrollment work.

Soon, Gu Lu knew what the accident was in Bao Songquan's mouth.

When Gu Lu checked his mailbox, he found out.

This year, the graduate students who submitted their resumes to him and were interested in choosing him as their supervisor were not only domestic students.

Thereinto.

There are also quite a few foreign students.

These foreign students are not from the lesser-known pheasant universities.

It's all from top universities abroad.

MIT, Princeton, Harvard, Cambridge......

Gu Lu glanced at it simply.

It was found that there are basically students from the top 10 universities in the world university rankings.

Even at Princeton University, which ranks first in the mathematics department, many students have submitted resumes to him.

"Is this the sun coming out in the west?"

Gu Lu sighed in surprise.

It stands to reason.

Under normal circumstances, it is the domestic students who go to these top universities to study abroad.

But now it's good.

What is the situation of students from these top universities who are willing to come to China?

Gu Lu scratched his head.

Some are incomprehensible.

After asking Bao Songquan, the reason was clear.

At first, Gu Lu thought that the doctoral supervisors of Yan University School of Mathematics had encountered a similar situation to himself.

After Bao Songquan explained, Gu Lu realized that only his side was the case.

He is the only one who has received so many applications from foreign students.

And the other doctoral supervisors over there.

Basically, it is mainly domestic students.

As for why Gu Lu accepts so many doctoral applications from foreign graduate students.

The reason is simple.

There is too much pressure to compete for high-quality tutors abroad.

And Gu Lu is not inferior to the existence of high-quality tutors abroad.

In addition, there is a precedent for the four of Biqi to jointly overcome the conjecture of Fuhuan under the guidance of Gu Lu.

Thereupon.

After Gu Lu announced the recruitment of graduate students.

Not only are students from many colleges and universities in China willing to run to Gu Lu as students.

This is true even for many students abroad.

In this way, there is a scene of studying abroad in reverse.

In fact.

Many students abroad submit their resumes to Gu Lu with the idea of picking up leaks.

But I didn't expect it.

There are not a few people who have the idea of picking up the leaks.
