For Mizuki, New Year's Day in 1980 was a harvest day, and many major events occurred during this period, which made Mizuki harvest a lot. The same is true for Mizuki's mathematics department.

From the proposal of Professor Yau Chengtong, who perfectly proved Calaby's conjecture, to the formal preparation, formation, appointment, and construction, and now the Mizuki Institute of Applied Mathematics has finally been successfully built.

Professor Yau became famous all over the world for solving the suspenseful Calabi conjecture, causing a huge sensation in the mathematical community, which is also a Fields Medal-level research achievement. The success of the Calabi conjecture led Professor Yau to win the Fields Medal in 1982. In the original time and space, he was the first Chinese to win this award.

As early as 1980, Professor Yau discussed with several universities such as Mizuki University and Peking University to establish their own mathematics research institutes. Since the Faculty of Mathematics has just been established, Mizuki University attaches great importance to this matter. In addition to his own research project, Professor Hu spends most of his remaining time on this project.

However, since the Institute of Mathematics has just been established, the departments have not yet been officially put into operation, and if you want to work in a formal manner, you will have to wait at least until the next semester after the Chinese New Year.

Due to the perfect solution of the Moder conjecture, Junxin, who also solved the Shavarvich conjecture and the Taite conjecture, has been listed as the first batch of personnel of the Institute of Mathematics.

Compared with other disciplines, which pay attention to the bad habit of seniority, the mathematics community relies more on strength. Because of the unique perfection requirements of mathematics, mathematicians tend to achieve great results before the age of forty. Being young symbolizes imagination and creativity, and it means that you dare to think and do, and it is relatively easy to produce results.

According to the regulations of the Institute of Mathematics, only those who have completed a university and continue to have a strong interest in mathematics can enter the Institute of Mathematics. Therefore, the minimum requirement for the Institute of Mathematics is generally to be a senior graduate. Junxin is the only exception to the Institute of Mathematics.

As for the reason, it made Junxin a little crying and laughing. Professor Hu was very squirming and vague for a long time before he explained the reason clearly.

It turns out that mathematics is not as simple as people think, and it can be done with just a few pens and a few pieces of paper. Equipment is also critical, especially after the four-color theorem was solved by supercomputers, and mathematical computing instruments have become an integral part of mathematical research.

Mizuki's Institute of Mathematics became the magic weapon of the institute due to the publication of an article in Junxin's "Annals of Mathematics", and when applying for funds to purchase a small supercomputer, it almost never encountered any problems, and the green light was all the way, leaving several other schools and research institutions far behind.

The Institute of Mathematics was embarrassed to kick Junxin away after using it up, so in the process of discussion, with 10 votes in favor, 2 votes against, and 1 abstention, the topic of Junxin's joining the Institute of Mathematics was approved.

After discussing the New Year's Day party with the class leader, Junxin received a notice from senior Hao Peng, inviting him to attend the first meeting of the Institute of Mathematics the next morning, which can be regarded as a review of 1980 and a prospect for 1981. By the way, Hao Peng can also be regarded as a positive result, not long ago because he solved a partial differential problem, he was appreciated by Professor Hu, and through the information conveyed by Professor Hu, it can be determined that as long as Hao Peng can successfully graduate from university, he can become a graduate student of Professor Hu.

Although the Institute of Mathematics in the Department of Mizuki Mathematics was established at the suggestion of Professor Yau Chengtong, Professor Qiu did not attend the institute's meetings. So Junxin didn't expect to be able to meet Professor Qiu here. But I've been interested in Mizuki's Institute of Mathematics for a long time, and since I'm lucky enough to participate, I naturally want to do something about it.

"Jun is here?" As soon as I entered the institute, I was greeted by Professor Liu.

"Professor Chen, morning!" Junxin hurriedly walked a few steps and greeted Professor Chen. "I'm not going to be the last, am I?"

Junxin's words are a bit of a joke, but in fact, in the strict Mizuki, only Junxin has the courage and qualifications to joke with the professors who teach him. These professors did not have any aversion to some of Junxin's little jokes, on the contrary, they all felt more intimate.

"Haha, Lao Liu and Dean Hu haven't arrived yet, and I've just arrived here, so let's take a look casually!" Professor Chen said happily.

"It's the first time I've been here since this place was built!" Junxin chatted with Professor Chen casually, while carefully looking at the facilities and decoration in the institute.

"You, you can be regarded as the pride of our mathematics department, now that our mathematics institute has been established, if you have time, you can come and take a look." Professor Chen's tone was gentle, and although it was slightly reproachful, it contained deep teachings.

Junxin nodded in response, "I see, Professor!" "He really wanted to settle down and do his studies for a while. However, he was not in a hurry, because at the request of Professor Hu, his teachers in all subjects gave him the highest score in the exam. So he didn't need to take the exam at all, so he didn't need to revise, and he had time to think about some math problems.

"By the way, what have you been working on lately?" After chatting with Junxin for a few words, Professor Chen habitually entered the state of academic exchange.

"The research in the Department of Chemistry has ended, and Professor Cheng and Professor Chen can tolerate my nonsense and help me revise my paper, which is really troublesome for them!" Jun Xin's eyes rolled and said with a slight sigh, "Now that the problem over there is over, take advantage of the free time these days to sort out your thoughts well." I think I've been doing a bit a lot lately, and I've made a bit of a mess of myself. ”

Professor Chen nodded when he heard this, and said in agreement: "Dean Hu told us about you, and with his old man, it turns out that we can't say anything. However, after all, I have done so many years of research, and I can be regarded as having some experience, which may be a reference for you. ”

"Professor Chen, please speak!" Although China's generation of old scientists has not made many world-class achievements, thanks to their efforts, the gap between China and the world's scientific community has narrowed a lot, at least we can see the direction of the world's top research. Therefore, some of their experiences may still be very enlightening to Junxin.

"When I was young, I was studying at Nankai University, and I had just come into contact with advanced mathematics, and when I noticed its charm, I fell deeply into it. Therefore, as long as it is a mathematical problem, I am very interested in researching, and as a result, my research is as complex and comprehensive as the class I have attended. ”

"However, although I have studied all aspects of mathematics, I have never been exposed to the essence of mathematics. Later, I came to Mizuki University, when Mr. Hua had just returned to China and came to teach in Mizuki. He corrected my idea of a well-rounded mathematical development and wanted me to work a branch. At that time, I chose the direction of partial differentiation, and I studied it for a full 30 years before I dared to say that I had some experience in the field of partial differentiation. ”

Speaking of this, Professor Chen's face obviously became more solemn: "I know that you are very talented in mathematics, but mathematics has developed to the present, with many branches and very profound and subtle, ordinary people may only be able to barely see the door in a lifetime, and some people may be able to open the door in a short time." The former is like me, and the latter is like you. ”

Waving his hand to interrupt Jun Xin's self-humility, Professor Chen said solemnly: "I know that you are highly talented, but even if you are very talented, you must work hard in a certain aspect to achieve something. So you shouldn't waste your energy juggling anything else. Now that you are further on Fermat's theorem than anyone else, I privately do not think that you will be able to solve this puzzle, but I think that you are the most likely person in the world today to prove Fermat's theorem. I hope you keep it up. Don't waste your energy, and don't waste your talent! ”
