Chapter 254: A Brief Exchange (Add. 10/31)

"Mr. Grigory-Perelman should be honored with the first New Directions in Mathematics Award for his outstanding contribution to the Li Qun problem in the past year!" When the award speech sounded, the audience burst into applause, and the photographer's shutter kept pressing.

Perelman didn't seem to like the occasion very much, and after receiving the medal and check, he hurriedly stepped off the stage with a simple thank you, and some reporters didn't even have time to take pictures.

Tao Zhexuan, the second award-winning Tao, is different, his chic demeanor on stage is simply two extremes of Perelman, coupled with his elegant appearance, he has become the darling of the media.

Lu Qiujian asked a total of ten questions, so there are also ten awards prepared this time, but unfortunately because only one year has passed, mathematicians have just begun to shift the direction of research, so that in the past year, there have not been many achievements that can meet the criteria for awarding awards, and only four mathematicians from different countries are eligible for awards this year.

In addition to Perelman and Tao Zhexuan, a young scholar from France was awarded for his fundamental contributions to set theory, and the last medal went to a Chinese mathematician, Liu Pengbo, who is studying for a doctorate under Academician Qiao, for his achievements in quantum algorithms.

When accepting the medal, Liu Pengbo mentioned Lu Qiujian's name again, "When I first saw Dr. Lu's speech, I became interested in quantum algorithms, and later my supervisor verified some of the content in his speech through a supercomputer, so I decided to transfer my research direction.

"Old Qiao is really lucky!" Academician Gu looked at the young man on the stage with some jealousy, and said to Academician Yang, hey, why is there no such number one person among his students!

"Hehe, in a few years, you should be jealous of Lao Ren again! He treats Xiao Lu's three students as treasures, and he shushes and asks for warmth all day long, and when they graduate, they may come to Professor Ren's door!" Academician Yang secretly regretted. Why was he slow to react in the first place?

"That's not necessarily!" Academician Guo interjected, "With Xiao Lu's help, it will be easy for them to go to Princeton or the French Normal School after graduation, so will they stay in China? Besides, when they graduate from their bachelor's degree, Xiao Lu will probably come back from Europe, and maybe they will have to bring them with them themselves!"

"Although it only takes more than two years to get a doctorate, Xiao Lu has also achieved a great reputation at CERN, and even if he graduates in a short time, he will not necessarily return to China, right?" Academician Yang retorted.

"It's possible!" The three of them shifted their eyes to Lu Qiujian in unison, guessing his future movements, CERN's conditions can be said to be the top in the world. If it is replaced by himself, I am afraid that he will not be able to come back in a short time.

This year, because there were only four awards to be awarded, the ceremony ended quickly, and then it was time for each of the four winners to elaborate on their academic ideas, and the reporters listened to the fog, but the mathematicians present immediately cheered up, listening intently to every word that came out of their mouths, for fear of missing something.

The process of this award ceremony was much shorter than that of the previous Poincaré conjecture press conference, and the four of them basically ended after making their reports.

As a result, Lu Qiujian once again became a hot spot surrounded by mathematicians. Especially those who were interested in the ten questions he asked, they came up with questions that had puzzled them for a long time and asked him for advice.

Lu Qiujian did not refuse, and answered the questions they raised one by one, which surprised the mathematicians who remained. Those who had taken a step earlier couldn't help beating their chests and falling into deep remorse when they heard about it.

After dealing with these people, Lu Qiujian did not rush to leave immediately, but called Ye Chu, Wang Wen and Xiang Zhen three students over. It's been half a year since I went to Europe! It's been almost a semester since I left them, but it's not smooth to communicate through the Internet, and let's see how their progress has been recently.

"Tell me what you've been learning lately?" even though not a few years older than them. But Lu Qiujian has now become a master figure in the mathematical world, and these three students are a little nervous in front of him.

"Let me talk about it first!" Ye Chu, the eldest of them, stood up and said, "Recently, I have been reading according to the list of books you have given, including Maurice Klein's "Ancient and Modern Mathematical Thought", and Pierre Georges Audifreddy's "The Century of Mathematics: 300 Major Mathematical Problems in the Last 100 Years"

"Hmm. Lu Qiujian nodded, "The reason why I asked you to read these books now is to help you deepen your understanding of the development of mathematics, so that you can choose the most suitable path for yourself!"

Seeing their understanding, Lu Qiujian continued, "It is not important to be familiar with those theorems and formulas, and it is not important to figure out what problems need to be solved urgently, but it is important to understand the way of thinking of those great mathematicians and how they think about problems through these words, which is the most important purpose of letting you read these books."

"Okay, I've pretty much said what I need to say!" Lu Qiujian got up and took his backpack, "This is the gift you have been talking about, Ye Chu, didn't you say that you like Kahn? This is his signature glove, which he wore in the last Champions League match!"

"And Xiang Zhen, this is a Hermes scarf, don't you see it, you kid, you just found a girlfriend in college, but it's a lot better than your two brothers!" Lu Qiujian looked at Xiang Zhen who was a little embarrassed with a smile.

"Well, the model of the car that Schumacher drove, I still asked Beckenbauer to get it!"

After handing out the gifts, looking at their eyes shining and elated, Lu Qiujian remembered that they were still eighteen or nineteen-year-old boys!

After hastily handling the affairs of the capital, Lu Qiujian did not even bother to go home and embarked on the journey back to Europe, this time he did not return to Munich, but went directly to Geneva; the summary of the last test has come to an end, and now it is about to come to the time to formulate a plan for the second collision experiment! I finally got the opportunity from Evans, but don't miss it! (To be continued.) )
