Chapter 475

Next.

With Professor Fang's matchmaking, Cheng Nuo met Zhang Wei at a coffee shop near the school.

, Zhang Wei was wearing a simple plaid shirt.

Cheng Nuo shook hands with Zhang Wei cordially.

"Senior Brother Zhang, hello. ”

"Cheng Nuo, it's an honor to meet you. ”

Cheng Nuo asked the waiter to serve two cups of coffee, and the two chatted while drinking.

After a few simple greetings, he went straight to the point.

"Cheng Nuo, I heard Professor Fang say that you want to study the BSD conjecture?"

Zhang Wei had already learned from Professor Fang that Cheng Nuo had asked him out to meet him, and his tone of voice was still slightly shocked.

But......

That's BSD conjecture!

To prove the BSD conjecture, Zhang Wei just thinks about it in his spare time, but if he really puts it into practice.

To be honest, Zhang Wei doesn't have the courage or confidence!

"Well, my goal in the next stage is the BSD conjecture!" Cheng Nuo shook his head with a wry smile, "This can be regarded as an obsession of mine." I won't be reconciled if I don't give it a try. ”

Cheng Nuo looked at Zhang Wei with a sincere gaze, "So, I hope Senior Brother can come over to help me." ”

Zhang Wei was silent for a few seconds, and then asked, "How sure are you?"

"Fifty percent, at least fifty percent!"

"Okay, I'll join!"

This time Zhang Wei did not hesitate.

Fifty percent sure, it's enough!

Many of the scientific research projects he has done before, before the real topic, he is not even sure of it, and he has not stumbled down.

In comparison, the fifty percent probability is worth his fight.

Once the BSD conjecture is successful, not only will Cheng Nuo benefit, but his status in the Chinese mathematical community will also rise.

If you fail, you will only lose some time.

"Senior brother, happy cooperation!"

"Happy working together!"

............

Pulling in Senior Brother Zhang Wei to help made Cheng Nuo's mood a lot easier.

In the afternoon after the interview with Zhang Wei, Cheng Nuo went directly to the Institute of Mathematics under Tsinghua University.

The Institute of Mathematics has about 30 resident researchers every year.

Together with some associate researchers and research assistants, the number reaches more than 100 people.

The institute consists of one director and three deputy directors.

It just so happened that a deputy director retired this year, and Cheng Nuo directly parachuted in to fill the position.

Cheng Nuo did not make much fanfare, and under the leadership of a research assistant at the institute, he went straight to his office.

For an afternoon, Cheng Nuo was writing a project application report.

Since it was just a formality, Cheng Nuo quickly got it done, and then submitted it to the National Natural Science Foundation of China as the deputy director of his research institute to apply for project approval and research funds.

The approval process will take a few days, and Cheng Nuo is not in a hurry.

Just take advantage of this time, Cheng Nuo can choose the doctoral students he wants to bring.

Up to now, Cheng Nuo has received more than 100 emails from students.

The purpose is also very clear, that is, I want Cheng Nuo to accept them and study for a doctorate under Cheng Nuo in the next period of time.

Cheng Nuo has just obtained the qualification of doctoral supervisor this year.

According to common sense, most doctoral students will not appear so enthusiastic about this kind of professor who has obtained a doctoral supervisor qualification in the first year, but out of a rational wait-and-see state.

Generally speaking, there are only three or two big cats and small cats who are willing to apply for his doctoral program.

It will take two or three years for this situation to improve.

But, Cheng Nuo is different!

Not to mention anything else, a Wiblen Prize winner alone is enough for Cheng Nuo to crush 99% of Huaguo's doctoral supervisors.

What's more, except for those academician-level bigwigs who disdain to serve as doctoral supervisors, in terms of geometry, Cheng Nuo has no one in China who can stand out.

In addition, I heard that Cheng Nuo has also made extraordinary achievements in other fields of mathematics.

If you become a doctoral student under Cheng Nuo, you will not only receive personal guidance from the Wiblen Prize boss, but also with Cheng Nuo's status in the international mathematical community, it is easy to encounter the opportunity to go abroad to broaden your horizons.

After reading a few resumes, Cheng Nuo had no patience to continue reading.

What a waste of time!

And the content on the resume is similar, but with this, Cheng Nuo can't judge a student's specific math level.

If you interview one by one, it will be more troublesome, BSD conjecture proves that after the project process is completed, Cheng Nuo is ready to devote most of his energy to it, and there is no spare time.

Let's get the question!

After thinking about it for a long time, Cheng Nuo still decided to use the simplest and rude way.

It took more than ten minutes for Cheng Nuo to come up with a set of test questions and send them to more than 100 students by email.

Five questions, ranging in difficulty from the graduate level to the doctoral level.

The content of the examination covers all areas of mathematics, but in Cheng Nuo's opinion, they are all very basic topics, and the difficulty coefficient is not large.

And one of the conditions for becoming a doctoral student is to do all these five questions correctly.

So, when many graduate students received Cheng Nuo's email, they thought that Cheng Nuo had agreed to accept him as a student, but after opening the email, a smile froze on their faces.

Then, he hurriedly turned out the paper and pen, lowered his head and wrote hard.

............

It is different from the lively situation on Cheng Nuo's side, where most of the students must be screened out through such crude means as testing.

On the other hand, many doctoral supervisors at Tsinghua University are very puzzled.

This year's ...... Something is wrong!

Professor Qi Feng is one of them.

In previous years, during the period before the start of the doctoral program, there were about a dozen students who sent him an email of intent to apply.

But this year, he has only received three emails!

This made Professor Qi puzzled, and even a little doubtful about life.

He began to reflect on himself.

Is it the news that he is too strict with his students has been spread?

Or is it that you look a little too fierce?

Ding Ding Ding Ding ~~

Just when Professor Qi was doubting his life, there were a few crisp sounds from his mobile phone.

Opening his phone, Professor Qi found that he had a few more emails in his mailbox.

The emails were all sent by graduate students who were about to enter the university in a few days, and as for the content, they sincerely hoped that Professor Qi could serve as their doctoral supervisor.

One, two, three...... Eleven!

Professor Qi hugged his mobile phone and counted it.

Eleven letters, plus the first three, make a total of fourteen.

"The results are good, it seems that I am still quite popular among students!" Professor Qi let go of the worries in his heart, and the previous depression was also swept away.

It's just that what makes him wonder why the next eleven emails were sent at almost the same time, and they have dragged on until now.

So what were these students doing before this?

............

"Alas, it's been brushed off! The topic is too difficult, it seems that I have no chance with Professor Cheng, so I can only switch to Professor Qi's arms!" A boy said with a bitter face and full of depression, and pressed it with one click, and sent the email that had been edited half a month ago to Professor Qi Feng's mailbox.
