Penn had already prepared a place for the Princeton Tigers to stay, and even though the two-hour drive was not too far, it was also drowsy, so after arriving at the place, the players of the team naturally chose to adjust their state, so one by one they very consciously walked into the bedroom to replenish some of the lost physical strength.

Coach Pique naturally can't choose to sleep like the players, he took Junxin to the Penn stadium for the first time to inspect the terrain on the spot, which also fully shows that he is not a decoration, but very professional.

Junxin also saw the strength of Coach Pique as a head coach for the first time. Coach Pique does have a few brushes, at least he has looked at the court materials, lighting, rebounding angles, the direction of the court and even the relative distance between the stands and the court, and the position of the air conditioner, which really opened Junxin's eyes, it turns out that there are such unknown things in basketball games.

After inspecting the venue, it was already late, and Junxin did not choose to return to the hotel with Coach Pique, but came to the campus alone and asked where the mathematics department was located, and then walked over alone.

Although the University of Pennsylvania is not very good at mathematics, their economics is indeed a major specialty, and the Wharton School is the first business school in North America. Since ancient times, economics and mathematics have been greatly involved, so Junxin naturally does not superficially think that the economics of the University of Pennsylvania is good and the mathematics department is not very good. You must know that Professor Yau graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, and the Department of Mathematics at the University of Pennsylvania will not be too bad to be able to train such a world-class master of mathematics. Or rather, the mathematics departments of Princeton and Harvard, two Ivy League universities, are too dazzling, overshadowing the University of Pennsylvania, which is also an Ivy League school and is famous for business and medicine.

However, Junxin does know that almost none of the mathematicians in the world today teach and research at the University of Pennsylvania, but Penn still has high achievements in the field of applied mathematics. At least the computer algorithm and other problems need to be completed by Penn, so Penn is still unique in applied mathematics.

At the National Congress of Mathematicians held in Princeton, Junxin also consulted with Professor Durant and Professor Porter of Pennsylvania about computer algorithms in his spare time, and also had some exchanges with Professor Kevin of the Department of Mathematics on statistics.

"Hello, Professor Potter, please don't mind taking the liberty of visiting!" The first thing Junxin found was Professor Potter, who is still in school. Professor Porter's full name is Stella Rose Porter, a graduate of Imperial College London, and a British-American. After World War II, he came to the United States, and then worked at the University of Pennsylvania in the United States, and later engaged in computer research, and followed Professor von Neumann for a period of time, and developed a strong interest in the operation of computer code, and then has been engaged in the development of computer code.

Professor Potter was so surprised that he slowly took off his glasses and looked at Junxin as if he were sure.

"Oh my God, Jun, why did you come to Binda?" Professor Potter asked, his mouth growing.

Junxin shook his head and walked into Professor Potter's office, smiling and saying, "Why can't I be a guest?" You must know that Philadelphia is only two hours away from Princeton, and it is only a matter of stopping by to get there. ”

"God, you should have said hi to me before you came here, or you might have met Durant today, since he came back from Princeton last time, he has been talking about the subtle algorithms you mentioned, and said that he wants you to come to Penn sooner and want to have an in-depth conversation with you!"

"And what about Professor Durant?" Junxin asked curiously.

Professor Potter replied: "Professor Durant has recently been to the European continent, he is a Hungarian who is now on an academic visit to Hungary at the invitation of his home country. ”

"Then it looks like it will take him at least half a year or so to come back!" Junxin also said with a little regret.

"Not to mention this, why did you suddenly come to Penn today?" Professor Potter asked again.

"I'm an assistant coach with the Princeton Tigers, and it's the first game of the season between the Princeton and Penn teams in two days, so it's a good time to visit some schools." Junxin stopped joking and told the reason why he came to Penn.

Professor Potter was not surprised, and said with a smile: "It's good to be young, I dreamed of being a football player when I was young, and I was very eager to be a member of the Liverpool team, but in the end I went to Imperial College London and embarked on the academic path, and since then I have been insulated from football, I have to say that this is a pity." ”

"Oh? It turns out that you also had a dream of football! Jun Xin said in surprise.

Professor Potter shook his head and said, "That's in the past, and I don't want to mention it now, but you can take advantage of this time to play a little more and experience some different scenery, and don't wait until you're my age and you'll only regret it." ”

Junxin was surprised again, participating in the school's basketball team, Junxin knew that even if other professors didn't talk about it, it was definitely not like he wasted his energy because of this kind of sports activity, thus wasting his precious scientific research time. So openly and secretly more or less persuaded himself to give up, and Professor Potter did have a supportive attitude, which really surprised Junxin.

"You don't need to be surprised!" Professor Potter glanced at Junxin and knew what he was thinking, so he shook his head and said, "I, Mr. Nils-Pol, have met a few times, but he is a football player, and he is more friendly to me because of his common hobby. He once advised me not to ignore the influence of the outside world and to do more of what I wanted to do when I was young. ”

"Mr. Pol is a world-renowned physicist, and he does not think that hobbies will interfere with his thinking and learning, and perhaps even promote it. Unfortunately, I didn't follow his advice at the time and focused on mathematics, which is a pity when I think about it now. ”

Jun Xin nodded, shook his head again, and said, "But it is precisely because of your huge investment in computer mathematics that you have achieved such great achievements. I've always believed that specialization was the best decision, and I have to say yours was the best decision at the time. ”

Professor Potter didn't argue, apparently he thought the decision he had made was the best, but as he got older, he always remembered what would have been the result of making another choice.

"Well, my little friend, you're probably not here just to see me, an old man, right?" Professor Potter quickly put away his sadness and asked with a smile.
