Chapter 426

Regarding Cheng Nuo's sudden trip to Cambridge University in Yingguo as an exchange student, Professor Fang did not expect this.

But this matter is not a bad thing, after Professor Fang expressed the surprise in his heart, he did not continue to dwell on this issue, but just told Cheng Nuo to study hard over there and not to fall into the momentum of the Chinese people.

After asking Cheng Nuo about the basic situation of his life at MIT, Professor Zhou seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said, "Cheng Nuo, do you have any arrangements for tomorrow?"

"I don't have any specific plans, but I'm going to go around Kyoto at the moment. Cheng Nuo said.

"That's right. Professor Zhou pondered for half a second and slowly spoke, "Lao Fang and I plan to attend a small academic conference together tomorrow, are you interested in going together?"

A small academic conference in China?

Cheng Nuo asked curiously, "In what direction?"

"On the practical application of fuzzy mathematics. Professor Zhou explained to Cheng Nuo, "This year is the third year, and the main discussion is how to apply fuzzy mathematical theory to actual production and life. ”

"The results of the first two sessions are not bad, and remarkable results have been achieved in optimizing mining methods and reducing energy consumption of centrifugal pump systems, and tens of millions of economic benefits have been improved, so the third fuzzy mathematics application research conference has received a lot of attention from the outside world. ”

Tens of millions!

Cheng Nuo sighed. Sure enough, it is more profitable to engage in applied mathematics than to engage in basic mathematics!

Cheng Nuo asked, "Can I go?"

Professor Zhou waved his hand and said casually, "Lao Fang and I can just talk to the people on the organizing committee." ”

There is no problem for two giants in the field of applied mathematics to add one person to the list on the other hand, which is only a small academic conference.

Seeing that Cheng Nuo was still thinking, Professor Zhou asked with a smile, "How about it, have you thought about it?" I know that you are mainly involved in pure numbers at this stage, but with your learning speed, you will have to gnaw on the hard bone of applied mathematics sooner or later, and now, it is a good opportunity. ”

Cheng Nuo was a little moved by what he said.

Indeed, in the past six months in the United States, all the projects that Cheng Nuo has been exposed to are in the field of basic mathematics. He also wanted to see if the group of bigwigs who were engaged in the number of should really be as rumored, opening and closing their mouths were millions or tens of millions of huge amounts.

He nodded, "Okay, I'll go." The matter of the quota will trouble the teacher and Professor Zhou. ”

"No trouble, no trouble. Seeing Cheng Nuo nodding, Professor Zhou seemed to laugh like Maitreya Buddha, "You are now a famous figure in our Chinese mathematics community abroad, and the people in the organizing committee know that you are coming, and it must be too late to give a warm welcome." ”

After finalizing this matter, Professor Zhou seemed to be in a happier mood and began to talk to Cheng Nuo about some secrets in the circle.

For example, a certain big man in the circle studied philosophy when he was young, and as a result, he made himself doubt his life by researching and researching, and since then he has firmly devoted himself to the materialist discipline of mathematics.

Also, the son of a certain big guy grabbed his girlfriend with a boy from the physics department, and called a lot of senior brothers and sisters to help, and the boy from the physics department opposite is also a second-generation teacher, and his father is a bull-level figure in the physics circle, and he is all over the world.

This is good, when I saw that there were too many people on the other side, I called all my brothers and sisters who had graduated for a few years. So a big scuffle began, and both sides kept calling people.

Under the call of friends, almost half of the two deeply entangled academic circles were implicated.

At that time, the domestic mathematics and physics circles almost got angry. Fortunately, the woman who was being fought over by the two was cut off halfway by a language student, and the matter was settled.

Cheng Nuo sat on the sofa and listened to it colorfully.

The plot ......

Cheng Nuo has already made up a book of hundreds of thousands of words in his mind.

After having lunch at Professor Fang's house, Cheng Nuo left Tsinghua University and went to a nearby commercial street to buy some items for foreign use.

I was going to buy it tomorrow, but since I was going to attend an academic conference, I arranged it all for a few days.

After a day of shopping, Cheng Nuo was also very tired.

When I returned to the hotel, I didn't have time to wash up, so I just lay on the bed and fell asleep.

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

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, the biological clock woke Cheng Nuo up at six o'clock.

The academic exchange meeting starts at 10 a.m. and ends at 2 p.m., with a lunch break in between.

Cheng Nuo changed into the light blue suit he wore to the Christmas dinner, tied his tie, and took a taxi to the Tsinghua professor's apartment building.

"Let's go. ”

Downstairs, seeing Cheng Nuo sitting in the back seat, Professor Fang signaled to the driver.

The meeting took place in a small office building next to Kyoto University Town.

As soon as he got out of the car, Cheng Nuo could look at the huge banner hanging on the first floor from afar.

"The 3rd Academic Exchange Conference on Applied Research Based on Fuzzy Mathematics"

The welcoming lady wearing a red cheongsam at the door was standing gloomily in the cold wind.

The simplest criterion for judging the scale of an academic conference is the number of participants.

Like the International Congress of Mathematics, two or three thousand people attended, which is the largest academic conference in the mathematical community.

The reason why Professor Zhou called the current academic exchange conference on the application of fuzzy mathematics "small" is that there are only about 30 participants.

This is also because of the success of the previous two editions, which once again attracted some mathematicians from other provinces to participate.

I think when the first class was held, there were only a dozen people, and it was a bit like a kind of self-entertainment for the locals.

For example, Professor Fang and Professor Zhou, who are big names in the field of applied mathematics in China, don't need to show an invitation card at all, just brush their faces.

As for Cheng Nuo behind the two, the organizing committee staff who greeted him should have also gotten the news and did not turn him away.

A spacious conference lecture room, where a few people sit sparsely at a round round table.

As soon as Professor Fang and Professor Zhou came in, someone's eyes lit up, and they got up and were about to step forward, but they were preempted by the person in front.

Professor Fang and Professor Zhou were instantly surrounded by several people.

Cheng Nuo shook his head, looked around the entire conference room, and then found an inconspicuous corner to sit down.

And everyone in the conference room could patronize and greet the two professors, so naturally they didn't notice Cheng Nuo's mixing.

Since the topic of communication is fuzzy mathematics, almost all of the more than 30 mathematicians who have come here are workers in the field of mathematics.

As for the study of pure numbers, Cheng Nuo knew only one person, a professor at Peking University.

Fuzzy mathematics, to put it simply, is to describe fuzzy sets in a fuzzy, inaccurate, but fuzzy perception way.
