Chapter 415: Forget Yourself
Chapter 415
The research period of the project is scheduled to be within two to three months.
For several professor-level members, this time is not very long, but it is not unusually tight.
But for Cheng Nuo, who received the same amount of work, it was quite a challenge.
Although Cheng Nuo's current level of mathematics can no longer be measured by the level of normal students, there is still a gap between the top five universities in the world for mathematics majors and the in-service professors at Princeton University.
Because of this, in order not to slow down the progress, Cheng Nuo fell into the reputation of MIT, so he could only work overtime and stay up late behind his back.
It's still a liver explosion!
Anyway, Cheng Nuo has enough liver, and he will get used to it.
............
On the other side, in an office in the mathematics department of Princeton University.
Professor Byrne put away the computer and said to the two people beside him, "Let's get to work, the three of us can do it together, and we can discuss with each other, how to progress faster than Professor Tom's." ”
"Otherwise, I am afraid that the other side will probably laugh at our school for its incompetence. ”
Both are world-renowned schools, and the distance between the two schools is not too far, plus the mathematics departments of the two schools have always competed with each other in the world rankings.
Therefore, although the relationship between the mathematics department of MIT and the mathematics department of Princeton University is harmonious, the hearts of every teacher and student, including those who secretly hold their breath, hope that one day they can overpower each other on something.
Even if it can't be suppressed, at least it can't be worse than the other party.
Especially in the face of cooperative projects, the two sides are riveting every time and want to compete.
Although the current project in the hands of Professor Bourne is not strictly an inter-university cooperation project with the Department of Mathematics of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, with such a "foreign professor" as Cheng Nuo, Professor Bourne still cheers up Miller and Hatch.
Just from today's discussion of the framework of the topic, the perceptive Professor Bourne has discovered that the little-known Professor Tom across from him is not an ordinary person.
It's not like he hasn't dealt with professors at MIT, and in his opinion, that Professor Tom is at least a highly talented associate professor!
As for the full professor......
He knows that all 37 full professors in the mathematics department of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology do not have Tom.
"In short, speed up the progress!" Bourne said in a heavy tone, "In addition to the factor of competition between the two schools, while the popularity of Cheng Nuo's theorem is still there, the sooner this topic is produced, the greater the impact!"
The identification of the rank of mathematician is very simple, that is, simply look at his influence in the mathematical community. In fact, this theorem has been tried by all mathematicians in the world.
Publish papers, research topics, participate in academic conferences, and win various awards. This is to improve your influence in the industry by constantly brushing your face.
Or to put it another way: the right to speak!
Just like Professor Fresnel, who is now dominating the geometrical world, he has achieved this by constantly expanding his influence.
If you take it to the next level, you can start a research boom in a field through a single paper.
Young mathematicians like Millerhatch still attach great importance to the factor of influence.
If you don't have enough influence, some journals, lectures and forums won't hand you invitations, so you can only watch the news.
The topic of cohomology of geometric algebraic clusters in their hands is one of the hot topics of the moment, as long as they grasp this trend and throw out their research promise.
After being recognized by the industry, it is inevitable that the influence and fame will rise to a higher level.
Miller and Hatch were also deeply aware of this, and said in a firm tone, "Well, definitely!"
There are four or five such opportunities every year, but it is not so common to gather a high-end lineup of four professors like this one.
Obviously, in the eyes of the two, they also regard Cheng Nuo as a professor of the same level.
Even, a higher status!
............
Here, "Professor" Cheng Nuo, who was missed by several people, was still sitting in the coffee shop, swaying his body to the youthful and passionate tune played in the headphones, as if he was in nothing.
Since this is a project specially approved by Professor Fields, Cheng Nuo is the only one in Massachusetts who participates, so Cheng Nuo was not forced to work in the office during this time.
The office is too oppressive and cramped, and Cheng Nuo always has the illusion of being a coolie for others when he sits there, so it is more comfortable to choose a more free working place.
After watching the meeting of the research group, Cheng Nuo re-planned his task list for the rest of the morning.
Which task has a high priority and which task has a low priority?
The sequence of tasks between tasks.
Cheng Nuo took these things into account one by one. In my mind, I have a plan for my scientific research process in the next two months.
Then, Cheng Nuo looked at the blank document in the computer and typed down the title of the project, "Research on Projective Cluster Convergence Theory Based on Cheng Nuo's Theorem".
He sighed.
Cheng Nuo's theorem. The theorem, which he just wrote out casually, has now become one of the hot research directions nowadays.
Does Cheng Nuo understand Cheng Nuo's theorem?
For most mathematicians, Cheng Nuo's knowledge of Cheng Nuo's theorem is certainly deeper than theirs, but it is also limited.
It's like a guy who has only played with a pistol and suddenly gets an AM. Limited to his own level, it is difficult for Cheng Nuo to be as comfortable with the application of Cheng Nuo's theorem as most theorem proposers.
However, compared with the previous projects that Cheng Nuo has done, his starting line this time is at least much higher. Cheng Nuo can be more relaxed.
How great would it be if you could go directly to a Daigo empowerment and complete your knowledge of Cheng Nuo's theorem?
Shaking his head, Cheng Nuo discarded this unrealistic idea.
With his hands on the keyboard, Cheng Nuo's thoughts flew in his head, crackling and typing.
As mentioned earlier, the difficulty of this project is not the difficulty of the specific problem, but the complexity of the problem itself.
Derivation of multinomial theorems, screening of complex formulas, substitution of fuzzy values......
Each of these requires a lot of effort and time.
Cheng Nuo's first step was to use Lefschetz's fixed-point theorem to transform a problem of counting on a topology into a purely geometric problem according to the way he proposed.
Crackling, crackling~~
Cheng Nuo didn't seem to feel the passage of time, and it wasn't until the owner of the coffee shop closed that he reminded Cheng Nuo that it had been dark for a long time.
Cheng Nuo came out of his state of selflessness, glanced at the time displayed on the computer, and muttered with a wry smile, "It's already eleven o'clock!"
