Omnipotent Data

Chapter 421

In the banquet hall, many mathematicians present at the meeting paused for a few seconds on Cheng Nuo before falling on Professor Ma Si.

Although they couldn't figure out the identity of the young man, they greeted Professor Ma Si politely after a little thought.

A few of them are all well-known figures in the field of mathematics exchanging warm greetings.

Cheng Nuo couldn't intervene, so he could only support Professor Ma Si and stand aside and listen silently.

From the conversation of several people, Cheng Nuo also learned some latest news from the industry.

For example, which professor has completed a new topic, what conjecture has made a new breakthrough, and which branch has several new hot research directions.

Just after the International Congress of Mathematicians ended, the research enthusiasm of mathematicians around the world is still high, and mathematicians in Cambridge are no exception.

In terms of geometry, thanks to Professor Fresnel, Cheng Nuo was able to keep abreast of industry trends in real time.

As for other fields, Cheng Nuo could only say that he was two or three months behind the progress of the most cutting-edge news.

Through this conversation with the big bosses, Cheng Nuo finally learned some internal information.

While discussing some interesting things in the industry with Professor Ma Si enthusiastically, the few big shots glanced at Cheng Nuo who was standing expressionlessly beside him from time to time.

As for Cheng Nuo's identity, since Professor Ma Si did not take the initiative to mention it, several people did not ask directly.

Maybe it's just the juniors in the family.

Several people secretly guessed in their hearts.

After chatting for a while, several mathematicians gradually retreated.

Kyle whispered in Professor Marth's ear, "Teacher, everyone is here."

"Then let's start." Professor Ma Si said slowly.

Kyle nodded, straightened his suit, took the microphone from the waiter, and walked to the stage at the front of the banquet hall with his head held high.

"Ahem." Kyle coughed lightly.

The eyes of the audience are all looking together.

Not to mention the relationship with Professor Marth's students, Kyle himself is quite well-known in the mathematics circle in Cambridge.

"Thank you for attending this dinner in spite of your busy schedule. On behalf of my teacher, Professor Ma Si, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you all."

"The reason why the teacher held this dinner is to let everyone get together in the meaningful festival of Christmas. Academic research is not done behind closed doors, especially us mathematicians, who face boring numbers and symbols almost all day long. Normal human interaction."

…………

Kyle crackled and said a lot of things on the stage.

Finally, there is a sentence, "Let us invite my teacher, Professor Ma Si, to come on stage and say a few words to everyone."

The mathematicians applauded very much.

Cheng Nuo helped Professor Ma Si to the stage.

Kyle plugged the mic into the stand and stepped back.

Professor Maas held the microphone with his wrinkled hands, and looked at the mathematicians with all kinds of eyes in the audience, and the voice from his heart became extremely loud.

"Thank you very much for being invited here. Kyle has already said most of what I want to say just now, and I won't repeat it too much here. Now, I only want to say one thing."

"Everyone here, it can be said that the whole city of Cambridge, or a group of very good mathematicians in the whole world, have more or less contributed to the development of the mathematics community."

"You all have talents and hard work, but what I'm talking about is the past!" Professor Ma Si's voice suddenly became serious, "You may have relied on your talents and hard work in the past, and worked tirelessly day and night , to get where you are now. But after that?"

"Think about it, how long has it been since you didn't even have time to eat for a project, how long have you not stayed up late writing formulas until three or four in the morning? How long has it been since you have completed the project? Sincere joy ?”

Professor Ma Si asked a series of questions without explanation, which left many professor-level mathematicians speechless and embarrassed.

In fact, what Professor Mas is talking about is a common phenomenon in the mathematics world, or in the entire scientific research circle.

Many people, in order to evaluate titles and awards, are desperately working on projects and projects, but once they really become famous, few people will maintain that kind of research attitude.

This is why more and more people get professional titles every year, but the number of scientific research results is still growing slowly.

"Sitting in the office, drinking tea and reading newspapers, I have never objected. But I still hope that every time you deal with scientific research projects, you can still retain the vigor of your youth!"

Professor Ma Si pointed to Cheng Nuo beside him, and said with a smile, "You probably don't know this one, but you must have heard of his name."

Cheng Nuo smiled at everyone in an official way, not knowing what Professor Ma Si was doing.

"His name is Cheng Nuo. Leaving aside his deeds at the International Congress of Mathematicians, what I want to say is that just a few days ago, Cheng Nuo and three professors from Princeton completed the A project on the homology theory of geometric algebraic varieties."

"And for this topic, the estimated research period is four months!"

As soon as the words came out, everyone was shocked.

The progress of two and a half months has been fast, this...

For some of the professors present, they usually submit their finished research papers in a leisurely manner in the last few days of the research cycle.

"Their paper called "Research on Cohomology Theory of Projective Tufting Based on Cheng Nuo's Theorem" was published in the journal "American Geometric Notation" just yesterday. If you don't believe me, you can read it."

Someone took out his phone and looked it up.

Sure enough, they quickly found the paper that Professor Ma Si mentioned in yesterday's issue of "American Geometric Symbols", and there were four names listed in the author's column.

Cheng Nuo's name was on the list.

Everyone has no doubt about him.

It has only been less than two months since Cheng Nuo's theorem was first proposed. It is impossible for someone to do a project on this topic several months in advance.

Seeing the effect of the example, Professor Ma Si continued to promote his idea, "Although Cheng Nuo is talented, he is only a graduate student, and the three professors at Princeton are not top-notch professors. People who are not as good as they are, but do you know why the research cycle can be shortened to one and a half months?"

"Diligence, they are testing for diligence!" Professor Ma Si said loudly, "Cheng Nuo, tell them how long you slept every day during that time!"

"Three or four hours, sometimes you don't sleep all day when you get busy." Cheng Nuo answered truthfully.

As soon as the time came out, not only everyone in the audience, but even Professor Ma Si who asked this question couldn't help being taken aback.

This kid is working so hard!
