"It is a great honor for you to join the Princeton University family, which is the honor and pride of Princeton!" Principal William said to Junxin very happily.

"Being able to teach at Princeton is something I never thought I would have, especially at this age group!" Junxin is also very excited to be able to take on a faculty position at Princeton University, which is a qualitative transformation for him. It's not just about identity, it's about a metamorphosis in status.

After all, the development route chosen by Junxin is at home, and studying abroad is just a platform for him to give full play to his talents and accumulate his fame. Therefore, in less than half a year, he has continuously exerted his strength in theoretical physics, chemical crystallography, mathematics, etc., written many papers, and communicated and established cooperation with many international bulls and figures who will become big bulls in the future. In the past six months, Junxin has made great achievements in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and even computer science, and has begun to have a certain influence in the industry of various majors. Now, with the publication of the book "Mizuki-Princeton Guide to Mathematics", his fame seems to have gradually turned into strength.

In fact, Princeton University invited him to serve as a teaching assistant (lecturer), which also took a fancy to Junxin's comprehensive ability after the fame in various scientific research and technology fields was transformed into strength and influence. To be honest, with Junxin's academic achievements in a single discipline, although Princeton will also invite, but such people are caught in Princeton, and there is nothing unusual. However, combined with the academic achievements of Junxin in all fields of scientific research, and the fact that he is now under the age of 20 and has not yet reached the peak of his scientific creativity, Junxin is unique in the scientific community. If you just look at the present, Princeton does not lack such talents, but to be able to grow to such a height as Junxin, at present, even the best students, compared with Junxin, will take decades to precipitate.

Whether Junxin will leave Princeton or not, Princeton will be a part of his resume, and to paraphrase a popular saying, he is proud of Princeton today, and Princeton will be proud of him in the future.

How does the influence of the university come about? There are different versions in the country. However, in fact, the most recognized point is the cultivation of talents, and the reserve of talents. For example, in the annual summary of the two universities, one of the universities said that it has cultivated many outstanding graduates this year, while the other university concisely said that our university has cultivated several Nobel Prize winners, Fields Medal winners, Wolf Medals, etc.

And Junxin chose to teach at Princeton, the same reason. At present, Junxin does have a certain influence in the industry, but it is still too far behind compared with universities such as Princeton, which have accumulated for hundreds of years. The fame of the Ivy League eight is not a joke, whether it is academic, university and scientific influence, it is far more than Junxin I don't know. With the help of Princeton's tailwind, Junxin can not only consolidate his own foundation, but also return to China in the future to continue to engage in scientific research and stay in the university, this resume is enough to block the mouths of all the people who insist on qualifications in domestic universities in the 80s, and will play an immeasurable role in promoting his return to China to carry out his own plan. So Junxin only thought about it for a while and agreed.

"In view of your special situation, the school has decided to pay you half a year's lecturer salary, a total of 200,000 US dollars, of course, a lecturer's salary is not that much, which includes some of your achievements in Princeton, and the school will convert you into money according to the relevant standards according to these achievements, although it is not a lot, but it is also a little heart of Princeton!" Then Principal William took out a bank check and handed it to Jun Xindao.

"Thank you!" Researchers have a sense of money, which they deserve, so Junxin accepted it very calmly and asked: "I think the current curriculum of the Department of Mathematics is very reasonable, and the four foundations of mathematics, algebra, geometry, analysis and their related derived disciplines are very complete, do you need me to teach any course?" ”

"That's right!" It was Professor Feverman who spoke, and as the head of the Department of Mathematics, Professor Feverman was the de facto administrator of the Department of Mathematics, "Originally, I was going to transfer you as an assistant to Professor Thurston to assist Professor Thurston in teaching topology. This was also agreed upon by Professor Thurston. However, Mr. Chancellor and I thought it was a pretty good attempt! ”

"You know, at Princeton, there's an interesting system where we allow any professor, associate professor, lecturer, or even teaching assistant to do their own course, and the content of the course is up to you, as a kind of public elective. As you know, in addition to the required courses, Princeton needs about 20 to 25 elective credits in four academic years to graduate, so public electives are an important component. ”

"In addition, since many of the interdisciplinary courses are now electives, we are preparing to launch a new course this time, so President William hopes that you will be receptive to this suggestion as the first teacher of this elective course that may become a compulsory course at Princeton."

"Oh, what's the course?" Although Junxin already had the answer in his heart, he still asked.

"We plan to create a comprehensive curriculum, centered on mathematics, radiating to most of the known natural science disciplines, such as physics, biology, chemistry, astronomy, computer science, etc., through the characteristics of mathematical tool disciplines, multi-disciplinary, multi-thinking and multi-angle integration, for the time being, it is called mathematical synthesis!" President William said with a smile, "After I put forward this idea at the faculty meeting, Mr. Dyson, the chairman of the professors' council, thought it was a very interesting and foresightful suggestion, and it was approved by the majority of the professors' council. However, this subject has high requirements for teachers, and when I couldn't find anyone, I decided to treat this course as a public elective for the time being, and recommended you as the first teacher! ”

"It's my pleasure!" Junxin naturally knows that this is a comprehensive discipline established by Princeton since 2005, and it has soon become a landmark discipline of Princeton, or even the only discipline with no semicolon, which has cultivated a large number of senior talents for Princeton. Now because Junxin's chaotic entry has been advanced by almost twenty years, he has become the pioneer of such a discipline, no matter how hard he wants, he agreed without hesitation.
