Chapter 455: Professor Cheng
Chapter 455
Strictly speaking, Cheng Nuo is not the youngest Ph.D. recipient ever at MIT.
In front of him, there was also a guy named Shuta Koberm, who received a Doctor of Science degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology at the age of 20. However, a few years later, he was imprisoned for involvement in a terrorist attack, and he is still serving his sentence, and MIT expelled him.
So on the bright side, Cheng Nuo is the youngest doctor of science officially recognized by MIT.
Coupled with the front-end time, Cheng Nuo proves that the heat of Jacoby's conjecture is still there.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has made a big splash, preparing to make Cheng Nuo a business card of their MIT and make it feel good in front of the public.
Looking at the handsome graduation photo of himself hanging on the official website of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the title of "the youngest doctor", Cheng Nuo touched his chin and smiled with satisfaction, and no longer planned to pursue the issue of infringing on his portrait rights.
Cheng Nuo also experienced the troubles of being famous again, and when he walked on campus, he was often recognized by the excited younger students.
I finally arrived at the library, intending to read quietly for a while, but found that many students were dangling in front of me from time to time pretending to be passing by.
Cheng Nuo smiled helplessly, and could only treat them as if they didn't exist and continue to study every day.
Just look at it, and there will be no shortage of meat. Anyway, Cheng Nuo thinks that his appearance can still pass the test of the public.
............
No matter how chaotic it was outside, Cheng Nuo just stayed quietly on campus and sat and watched the clouds roll up.
However, such days did not last long.
Cheng Nuo graduated!
This news is already known to almost everyone in major universities.
Many top universities understand what it means to graduate.
Cheng Nuo was a former student at MIT, and many colleges and universities would not openly rob him.
But since Cheng Nuo has graduated, it will be different.
Cheng Nuo is now a free body, which means that they can also recruit Cheng Nuo to teach in their school.
Cheng Nuo is now known as the strongest newcomer in the mathematics world.
If such a talent is recruited to their school, the promotion of their mathematical strength will undoubtedly be huge.
What's more, Cheng Nuo is still young, very young. With the strength shown by Cheng Nuo now, the future development potential is very huge.
Soliciting Cheng Nuo can also be regarded as an investment. And it is an investment with a high probability of making a profit without losing money.
While MIT has certain advantages over other schools, other schools are not without opportunities.
A genius like Cheng Nuo is too little, too little!
A mathematician like this, who is only twenty-one years old and has solved a major conjecture in the geometric world, is probably only one in fifty years.
If you can grab it, you will earn it!
So, in just three or four days, Cheng Nuo has received emails from more than ten universities.
Princeton and Haval in the United States, Cambridge and Oxford in the United States, and Zurich in Sweden......
All of these universities expressed a subtle solicitation in their emails. The conditions offered are also very tempting.
The highest conditions offered by the University of Cambridge are to directly grant Cheng Nuo the title of associate professor at the University of Cambridge, as a senior researcher at the Institute of Mathematics and Physics at the University of Cambridge, with an annual salary of 500,000 pounds, and the right to call a 500,000 scientific research fund.
To be honest, Cheng Nuo was a little tempted.
But Cheng Nuo is still waiting, waiting for MIT's statement.
However, Cheng Nuo did not wait for the conditions offered by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to stay and teach, but waited for another news.
The triennial Wiblem Prize will be awarded on November 10, and Cheng Nuo was nominated for this year's Wiblem Prize.
The Wiblen Prize, whose full name is the Oswald Wiblen Prize in Geometry, is an academic award awarded by the Mathematical Society of the United States to recognize scholars who have made significant achievements in the field of geometry or topology. The prize is awarded every three years and carries out a prize of $50,000.
In the eyes of many people in the mathematics community, this award is the highest award in the field of geometry and topology!
The winners of the previous editions of the Wiblen Prize were mathematicians who had been famous in the field of geometry and topology for a long time, the youngest of whom was also thirty-four years old.
Cheng Nuo was nominated for the award, and to be honest, it was unexpected by many people.
But when I think about it, I think it's reasonable.
Cheng Nuo's proof of Jacoby's conjecture alone is enough for the United States Mathematics Society to ignore Cheng Nuo's age and qualifications. Plus that Cheng Nuo's theorem......
They were shocked to find that Cheng Nuo could really win this year's Veblen Prize!
After all, there are three winners of the Wiblen Prize.
The rest of the nominated mathematicians in the field of geometry and topology, in addition to their age and qualifications are stronger than Cheng Nuo, and their academic achievements in recent years are not bad compared with previous winners, but compared with Cheng Nuo, there is still a bit of a gap.
As soon as the list of nominees for the Wiblem Award came out, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology finally couldn't bear it anymore and sent someone to find Cheng Nuo.
"Let's just talk about the conditions, right?" Cheng Nuo crossed his fingers and said to the chubby middle-aged man in front of him.
Cheng Nuo is now in a state of waiting for the price to sell.
If the conditions are similar, Cheng Nuo naturally chooses to stay at MIT, but if the conditions are too different, Cheng Nuo still chooses the best.
The chubby middle-aged man spoke, "Mr. Cheng Nuo, our Massachusetts Institute of Technology can be said to be full of sincerity this time. ”
"After discussion, we decided to hire Mr. Cheng Nuo as our associate professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, with an annual salary of 800,000 US dollars, a 500,000 dedicated scientific research project fund, and we will also guarantee that you will get at least one opportunity to lead a national first-class scientific research project every year. ”
Hemorrhage!
Cheng Nuo knew from the painful expression on the middle-aged man's face that MIT was bleeding heavily this time.
But it's not good if it doesn't bleed!
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is also forced to helpless.
In case Cheng Nuo is snatched away by other schools, where will their face go.
Therefore, Cheng Nuo, you must stay.
This idea became even more firm when Cheng Nuo was nominated for the Wiblen Prize!
Cheng Nuo smiled and stretched out his hand, "I saw the sincerity of the school. I'm sure we'll have an interesting time on MIT soil. ”
The chubby middle-aged man squinted his eyes and shook hands with Cheng Nuo, "Mr. Cheng Nuo, welcome to join us at MIT." ”
Then the chubby middle-aged man took out a letter of appointment from his briefcase and handed it to Cheng Nuo, "Professor Cheng, the opinion of the school is to let you stay in Professor Fresnel's office for the time being, taking the position of deputy team leader." Wait until the next semester to start classes as normal. ”
Cheng Nuo nodded, "Just what I want." ”
There is no course arrangement, Cheng Nuo is happy to be idle.
