That sounds like a good proposition......

How can it be!

"No, no, no, this is your brainchild after all, so let's continue to call it the Sarot Institute."

Refusing to say anything, Professor Sarot's proposal was rejected, and Lu Zhou didn't give him any chance to convince himself, so he left without saying a word.

Just kidding, if you really put your name in front of the institute, maybe this guy will have to brag about it next time, and he will have to brag about it again.

Moreover, using his name as a prefix to hang in front of the research institute, Lu Zhou always had a strange feeling.

It's as if the object of study is not the material, but the self.

After thinking about it carefully, I sure enough.

The next day, the first academic meeting of the new year of the American Mathematical Society kicked off at Berkeley.

For the sake of the conference, the University of California students even postponed the planned protest to a week later.

While professors at Princeton are generally indifferent to politics, not all professors do.

Professor Tao, for example, is a good example of this.

Although most of his students' evaluation of him in life is a tolerant, shy, and modest person, on his personal blog, Tao Shen's online image is diametrically opposed to his image in his personal life, and his biggest hobby is to point out the country.

For example, not long ago, he proved that Chuan Pu could not be a good president from the perspective of logic, which was reported by many media. And Chuanpu's rhetoric on Twitter is also quite interesting - "Tao Zhexuan claims that I am not suitable to be president, but the liar Hillary Clinton is fine." And the truth is that Tao Zhexuan's kid only targeted me because he was a failed analyst. He couldn't even prove the conjecture of the Hanging Valley Sect, sad! ”

However, what is due will always come.

Tao Zhexuan hasn't updated his blog recently, so it can be seen that his mood is not very high.

Of course, while California students and professors don't have any favorable feelings about the president, these vignettes don't affect the atmosphere of academic conferences, because after all, academia is pure, and that's what countless academics insist on.

After collecting some small souvenirs such as pens at the door, Lu Zhou walked through the bustling poster display area and went directly to a lecture hall on the second floor, and found a very low-key seat in the back row.

After sitting down, he realized that it was Professor Tao sitting next to him.

Glancing at him in some surprise, Lu Zhou asked, "Are you here too?" ”

Professor Tao smiled and joked, "This is a good opportunity to find out your progress, and I certainly won't miss it." ”

Lu Zhou laughed and said, "Even if you ask, it's best to help me solve it." ”

While the two were talking, the report meeting began.

The audience in the venue gradually stopped talking to each other and turned their eyes to the speaker on the podium.

Vera, who wore a golden ponytail and was dressed a little studently, stood nervously on the podium, her white little hands clenched and released.

With the help of the staff, she opened the prepared PPT, and the title of the paper appeared in the center of the curtain.

[Complex analysis of the equivalence equation h(z^3)=h(z^6)+{h(z^2)+λh(λz^2)+λ^2h(λ^2z^2)}/3z]

"Come on, Vera, you can do it......"

Thinking of her mentor's expectations of herself before leaving, Vera took a deep breath and cheered herself up in her heart.

Then, she took the plunge and spoke.

"In the unit disc {z:|z|<; The analytic function solution in 1} is in the form h(z)=h0+h1z/(1−z), where h0 and h1 are complex constants ......"

Although she was really nervous at first, as the report progressed, Vera suddenly found that the heaviness on her shoulders had quietly disappeared at some point.

Even she herself was surprised.

When thoughts spring up like a spring, expressing one's own ideas is as natural as breathing.

She didn't care if the audience understood everything, that was something to consider in the question session.

At this moment, all she needs to do is to convey her views to the audience in the lecture hall......

Sitting in the last row of the lecture hall, like the rest of the audience, Lu Zhou was also listening carefully to her report, and gradually, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

It could be seen that it took a lot of effort for her to overcome the fear in her heart and stand there.

And the results are quite encouraging, and she has already started to get into the groove.

It seems that his worries are unnecessary.

Sitting next to Lu Zhou, Tao Zhexuan looked at the person on the podium unexpectedly, his face full of surprise.

"Are you sure this is the work of your students?"

Lu Zhou said with a smile: "Of course, I have been busy with the direction of computational chemistry recently. At most, at most, I just gave them a direction. ”

With the identity of the two of them, there is no need to lie on this kind of issue, Tao Zhexuan certainly does not suspect that Lu Zhou is fooling himself.

However, he still couldn't restrain the surprise in his heart, because this thesis was indeed not like a master's level that could be completed. Even if he knew about this Vera, it was even the letter of recommendation he wrote to her, recommending her to go to Princeton.

It's just that the speed of progress is amazing.

Thinking of this, Tao Zhexuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Yesterday, I heard you say that you planned to hand over the Kakutani conjecture to your students to solve, I thought you were joking. Now it seems that I didn't expect you to be serious. ”

Lu Zhou smiled and said without modesty: "After all, it was the student I taught. ”

This kind of report meeting for young scholars, generally those bigwigs are more tolerant, unless there is an obvious mistake there, they generally do not make too much difficulty.

In this regard alone, the academic conference in the field of mathematics and the MRS conference in the field of materials science are two completely different styles.

After answering a few questions, the report meeting ended smoothly and the audience erupted in warm applause.

Vera breathed a sigh of relief and thanked the audience with a smile.

Perhaps it was because the brilliance on the smiling face was too dazzling, arousing the desire to protect people's hearts, and the applause seemed to become more enthusiastic.

Even in the midst of that applause, there was the whistle of the young lads.

Looking at Vera on the stage, Lu Zhou couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

Looking at the little girl who was gradually growing up, he couldn't help but have a feeling in his heart that the little saplings that had been carefully cultivated were thriving.

Perhaps, this is also one of the joys of being a professor!

Tao Zhexuan glanced at Lu Zhou a little strangely, and always felt that something was wrong.

Sensing his friend's sight, Lu Zhou, who was in a good mood, asked with a pleasant face, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's nothing," Tao Zhexuan shook his head, hesitated, but still spoke, "Although I didn't say so about your position, ...... Laura and I didn't have a public relationship until after she graduated. ”

Lu Zhou: ......?

What the heck?

……

After the report meeting, Lu Zhou saw Vera outside the lecture hall.

The little girl's face was flushed with excitement, and her eyes flashed with excitement, excitement, and a lot of emotion.

Lu Zhou understood her feeling at the moment, it was an excitement that could not be quelled no matter how many deep breaths she had.

Walking forward, he smiled and said hello to her.

When he heard a familiar voice and looked back at Lu Zhou, his fawn-like eyes instantly widened, flashing with surprise and disbelief.

Originally, she planned to tell Lu Zhou the good news on the phone, but she didn't expect him to be at the scene of the report meeting, just sitting in the audience and looking at herself!

This kind of accident made her surprise for a while, and she didn't know what to say.

"Professor?! You, you're here too?! ”

"Of course," Lu Zhou said with a smile, "my lovely student finally mustered up the courage to come on stage to give a presentation, how could I miss this moment worth celebrating." ”

The white face was as red as a flame, and the little girl seemed to hold back a lot of thanks to him.

But in the end, a thousand words converged into a small and excited fragmented thought.

“…… I did it, I really did! ”

"You did, well done." Lu Zhou threw an encouraging look at her and said with a smile, "Keep up the good work, I hope to see you on the stage of the International Congress of Mathematicians one day!" ”

The golden ponytail swayed up and down like a little squirrel's tail.

Looking at Lu Zhou gratefully, Vera nodded vigorously.

"Hmm!"
