I Am the President of the University

Chapter 722: Build a supercomputing center?

Latest website: "Principal Leonard, I'm sorry, I still stick to my original view."

"Oh, God..."

Principal Leonard and Professor Thomas next to him looked at each other and felt helpless.

Of course Princeton University is good and a world-famous university, but in front of MIT, it is completely inadequate.

MIT's only opponent is HU (Harvard University) next door.

Why is there no oil or salt in this land?

Professor Thomas, who is the chairman of the Department of Mathematics, saw the principal's behavior and gently advised Lu Zhou: "Lu, in fact, in the subject of mathematics, the construction and development of our MIT has far surpassed that of Princeton University. Your Guanghua Mathematics The dean of the institute, Professor Xu Chenyang, worked at MIT before.”

"And...as long as you are willing to come to MIT, we can let you choose any on-campus professor as your mentor, even a Fields Medal winner!"

Seeing that Lu Zhou was unmoved, Professor Thomas gritted his teeth and said: "All fees during the direct PhD period are free, and for your subsequent calculations of [x3+y3+z3=33], the school can provide you with a supercomputer for free! "

When it comes to supercomputers, Lu Zhou is really excited.

After all, there is a supercomputer, which can be of great help to the calculation of [x3+y3+z3=33].

If you can solve this problem, you can completely integrate it into an SCI paper, and you can use this to make a name for yourself in the mathematics world.

Zhang Ailing said, "You have to mature early to become famous," but Mo Yan said, "You have to mature late to be a good person."

But in the world of mathematics, Zhang Ailing’s remarks are more appropriate.

Mathematics is not a subject where knowledge can be accumulated over the years. Generally, famous formulas and theorems are proposed when mathematicians are young.

For example, there is an age requirement for the selection of the Fields Medal, the highest award in mathematics. The winner must not be 40 years old before New Year's Day of that year.

While Lu Zhou was hesitating, Professor Thomas seemed to see a glimmer of light and made several offers that were hard to refuse.

Most people dream of getting into MIT, but who would have thought that the aloof MIT would one day steal people.

Finally, Lu Zhou sighed and apologized: "I don't know why, but I feel like there is a voice calling me from Princeton University, so I'm sorry."

After being rejected again, Leonard didn't know what to say.

Putting the regret in his heart aside for the time being, Leonard stood up and stretched out a hand.

"Lu, you don't have to say sorry. We respect your choice, but if you want to come to MIT in the future, you can contact me at any time."

Anyway, professors from these top universities are basically very mobile.

For example, it is entirely possible for a professor at Princeton University to go to Harvard University or MIT the following year. Therefore, even if Lu Zhou goes back to Princeton University to study for a Ph.D., it will not affect his future appointment at MIT.

Who can say what will happen in the future?

After the conversation, Lu Zhou left the coffee shop and returned to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Davis to continue writing the follow-up ideas of [x3+y3+z3=33].

After the idea is completed, it is the algorithm. When the time comes, the algorithm will be sorted out and the final calculation can begin.

I just counted a few pages and made a few phone calls. It was about a dinner party in the evening.

Lu Zhou couldn't refuse this kind of group activity, so he had to temporarily put aside his work and go to the designated restaurant.

【Vanderlyle】

is the name of this restaurant. It is located in the most prosperous neighborhood of Cambridge. It is a single-family Western-style building. The interior is extremely luxurious and looks like a place where you can’t afford to eat.

It is estimated that one meal can eat up several months of a person's salary.

Zhang Lei was already dumbfounded at the entrance.

"Fuck, shit, Brother Cao didn't lie, it was really...a feast!"

Lu Zhou also didn't expect that Cao Lihao, who loved to hold cups, really wasn't lying.

It was a very enjoyable meal. As a Chinese, Cao Lihao naturally knew what kind of food was suitable for these newbies who had just arrived in the United States.

After dinner, if it weren't for Chen Hao's repeated instructions, Cao Lihao would definitely take these children to experience the real decadence of capitalism, such as bars.

at the same time.

Princeton, New Jersey, on the east coast of the United States.

In the office of the president of Princeton University.

The current president, Christopher Isgrub, took off his glasses and said seriously to the other end of the phone: "Hey, Professor Edward, are you telling the truth?"

"Can an undergraduate student solve [x3+y3+z3=33]?"

This question is difficult to say, but it is not particularly difficult. It is mainly troublesome.

If a mathematician claimed to have solved it, it would not be surprising, maybe it was just a sigh.

But... an undergraduate?

Oh~ If this is true, it means that the other party's knowledge and talent are really not low.

"To be precise, it hasn't been solved yet, but it's just a matter of time. Professor Stephen from MIT witnessed the other party's calculation process with his own eyes and gave his approval."

The other party paused for a moment, coughed and said: "Dear Professor Isgrub, do you know where the other party is now?"

"Please say."

"This Lu is currently conducting summer courses at MIT. As far as I know, Professor Leonard and Professor Thomas of MIT personally invited each other."

"Oh Shet!"

Professor Isgrub sat straight up and said helplessly: "That old guy Leonard has come forward. It seems that we have missed another talent."

As the principal of the same Ivy League school, Isgrub is naturally no stranger to Leonard, not to mention that the two have a good relationship.

"Professor Isgrub, that Lu refused!" Speaking of this, Professor Edward on the other end of the phone was particularly excited.

An undergraduate from China actually rejected MIT’s invitation?

God, this is something only a madman could do.

Not to mention the news he got that the reason why Lu refused was actually because of their Princeton University!

After Professor Edward finished briefly describing what happened, Professor Isgrub was in a good mood.

"Professor Edward, aren't you in Boston now? Please go to Cambridge and talk to that Lu."

Even after getting such news, Isgrub was still very cautious. If he really had real talent, he would of course recruit him.

Of course Lu Zhou didn't know these things.

At this moment, he had just returned, chatted with the Davises for a while, and then went upstairs to his room.

After thinking about it, I made a call to the principal.

Chen Hao was not surprised at all by what Lu Zhou said. After all, Lu Zhou's talent in mathematics was obvious to all.

It didn't matter whether Lu Zhou went to Princeton University or MIT. Anyway, he believed that Lu Zhou would definitely return to China after completing his studies.

Unexpectedly, just two days after arriving in the United States, Lu Zhou made big news that he had to solve the problem [x3+y3+z3=33].

Chen Hao smiled when he heard that Professor Thomas could provide supercomputing.

Prestigious universities in the United States basically have their own supercomputing resources and can even mobilize the National Supercomputing Center.

But China is not bad in the field of supercomputing, and has even caught up with the United States in recent years.

It is difficult for China to develop chips, but supercomputing is different. It mainly relies on money and integrated technology. Stacking engineering is an area in which China is good at.

"No matter how big it is, it's just a supercomputer."

"When you write down the algorithm that needs to be calculated for this problem, it won't be a problem for Tianhe-2 or Sunway TaihuLight."

It's not just a supercomputer, he is planning to build a supercomputer center.

At that time, we will build a quantum computer to make the transition. The ultimate goal...

That is of course a photonic computer!
