Chapter 209: Nash
The meaning of what Jun Xin said was very clear, but the other meaning outside the words was the main reason why Principal Zhu fell into contemplation.
As the saying goes, when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds. The same is true when this sentence is applied to academics. The academic world is so big, and naturally there are all kinds of people. There are naturally people from Shuimu University, such as Qian Sanqiang, Hua Luogeng, Yang Zhenning, Gu Yuxiu and others are all from Shuimu University. However, there are also many scientists who come from other universities, at least among the internationally renowned figures, Peking University definitely has the strength and background to compete with Mizuki University.
So if everything is occupied by Mizuki University, then more or less will offend other schools, although the status of Mizuki University will not care much about these, but after all, it is not a very good thing, and it does not conform to the style of Chinese. Only by being harmonious can we be the same as the dust, and this is the code of conduct that is more in line with the consistent style of the Chinese people.
"We will consider your concerns, don't worry, the school won't do anything to hold you back, not to mention that this is still good for the school!" After thinking about it, Principal Zhu smiled and said.
After Junxin nodded, he put this matter in the back of his mind and stopped paying attention to it. turned his gaze to Zhou Yunzhen, who had been sitting in the corner quietly watching everyone and had not spoken: "Senior sister, what about you?" I can't interfere with the academic situation of Sister Xiuli and Mengxue, but mathematics and finance in economics have an extremely close relationship, and we should be regarded as peers in a sense, do you need my help? ”
Zhou Yunzhen was silent for a while and said, "Princeton is not a good place to study economics!" ”
Jun Xin smiled when he heard this, and he didn't know how to answer. In a sense, Princeton is indeed one of the most bizarre universities in the world. Princeton does not have a medical school or business school. The reason is that these two colleges are the most profitable of all colleges, and if Princeton does not establish these two schools, the school will be cut off, and the pursuit of money will be lost, and scientific research will be forgotten.
Of course, this is not to say that without a business school, Princeton would not be able to teach and study economics. On the contrary, Princeton's research on economics is among the best in the world. Among the Nobel Prize winners in economics, there are several economics laureates who have done mathematics or research in Princeton, and one of the most famous is the famous mathematician, economist, and Nobel laureate in economics - Nash.
Nash, many lamented that if he hadn't gone insane, he might not have achieved any worse than his predecessor von Neumann. Nash is a professor at Princeton University and a legend at Princeton University. His research focuses on game theory, differential geometry, and partial differential equations. He was awarded the 1994 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences for his seminal contributions to the theory of equilibrium analysis of non-cooperative games, along with two other mathematicians, which had a significant impact on game theory and economics.
However, as a mathematician, Junxin has never been concerned with Nash's achievements in economics, in fact, he is more concerned with Nash's seemingly forgotten mathematical talent after winning the Nobel Prize in Economics.
In his field of research, Nash has made some breakthroughs in algebraic cluster theory, Riemannian geometry, parabola, and elliptic equations. In 1958 he almost won the Fields Prize for his work on parabolic and elliptic equations, but was unable to do so because some of his results were not published in time. Almost the same in 1962, when Nash was almost a rightful Fields Medal winner, but his mental insanity led him to miss out on the Nobel Prize in mathematics again. He was one of the most brilliant mathematicians of his time, and many of his contemporaries and practitioners compared him to Alexander Grothendieck, the world's leading mathematician at the time.
Junxin and Nash don't have much to do with each other, of course, this just means that they haven't talked and discussed in depth. In his previous life, it was because Nash, who had come out of mental distress at that time, mainly studied the field of economics, and the field of pure mathematics was rarely involved. Junxin only occasionally joins the discussion at Princeton Math Afternoon Tea to have some academic exchanges with Nash. In this life, because of the heavy academic and research tasks, he seems to be more or less in a hurry, and several times he saw the scene of Nash sleepwalking in the world, Junxin only saluted politely and hurriedly walked away.
Thinking of Nash, Junxin had an idea: "Senior sister, Princeton may not be unsuitable for studying economics, but you haven't found the right direction!" ”
"Do you have any suggestions?" Zhou Yunzhen asked with a hint of expectation on her face.
Jun Xin shook his head and said, "There is no way, but I have thought of one, do you want to try it?" ”
"Who?"
"John Nash!" Junxin did not hesitate and said with a smile.
Zhou Yunzhen frowned suddenly, of course he would not shallowly think that Junxin was teasing him and find him a mentally deranged person to be her mentor, which was unrealistic. She also knew that there were words in Junxin's words, but for a while he didn't know what the meaning of Junxin's words was.
However, Zhou Yunzhen didn't think much about it, but directly asked Junxin why. Junxin did not put on a score, but explained it directly: "In 1948, Nash, a junior in college, was admitted to Harvard, Princeton, Chicago, and Michigan at the same time, while Princeton University was more enthusiastic. When Lefshetz, the chair of Princeton's mathematics department, sensed Nash's hesitation, he immediately wrote to urge him to choose Princeton, prompting Nash to accept a $1,150 scholarship. ”
At that time, Nash did not regard mathematics as his lifelong career, you know, Nash at that time studied chemical engineering. It wasn't until he came to Princeton that he began a big explosion in mathematics and economics, and published the famous Nash equilibrium in his doctoral dissertation. ”
"Senior sister, Princeton does not set up a business school, but does not engage in specific business management, but economics is far superior to business at the macro level, so Princeton does not study economics. I think it's not that Princeton isn't suitable for studying economics, but that you may not have found a way to study economics at Princeton. ”
"I have a suggestion for you to hear: economics can probably be divided into two aspects, one is professional economics and the other is non-professional economics. Professional economics is like Nash, through a large number of mathematical statistics, calculations, induction, simulations, etc., to accurately sort out and study the internal laws; In fact, a lot of external economics is related to the study of Sister Xiuli, and it pays attention to the economics of external influences under the operation of the state and the regulation and control policies. You can choose one of these two aspects. ”
"If you are interested in the previous major of economics, I can introduce you to some seniors in the field of mathematics who study economics, it is not difficult at all, there are several in the Institute for Advanced Study. But if you want to study external economics, you can only ask for the help of Sister Xiuli to learn some knowledge about international relations and the relationship between policy and economics. What do you think? ”
