Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Princeton University, Library. .

Kneeling on the table, Hardy screamed in pain and his voice whispered.

"That man is a devil. This is a mission that is impossible to accomplish... Is there really a human being able to get these things in a month and a half?"

There are six reference books piled up in front of him. Among them are Hardy's "Number Theory Guide" of "entry level", and Dirichlet's "Number Theory Lecture" from the shallower. It's not just about number theory, but about things like functional analysis, algebraic geometry, and differential topologies.

Although before considering here, considering the name of the instructor, Hardy had done a lot of preparations, but did not expect that as soon as he passed the door, there was such a huge amount of learning tasks waiting for him.

Fortunately, he made some preparations, otherwise it is estimated that even the door can not touch.

Qin Yue, who is sitting opposite Hardy, has a lot of calm, at least not thinking about "can not be completed", which is not related to the subject, and seriously cooperates with the printed literature to study the "Handouts on Number Theory".

Although he did not read Hardy at the speed of the book, the victory was lasting.

From the beginning to the present, almost no stop.

Sighed, Hardy gave up completely and asked with a headache.

"Qin, are the professors in your country so horrible?"

Qin Yue: "Terror?"

Hardy nodded seriously. "Yes, when I was in Brazil, mathematics scores were always the first in our high school. Everyone thought that I was a genius. At Columbia University, I saw a lot more than my genius. But the things in the course are still very easy for me, and can be easily done without even taking the time."

Having said that, Hardy sighed in frustration: "But here, I even started to doubt life..."

Qin Yue did not know how to comfort the young man, pushed the glasses, sorry to smile and said: "Maybe because this is Princeton?"

To be honest, the professors at the university are not so strict.

But he has been like this for four years, but he is used to it.

"The professor at Princeton can never be so strict. I asked the senior who played football with me yesterday. Professor Lu Zhou is definitely an example." Hardy shook his head and paused for a moment, suddenly thinking of something, looking seriously Asked, "Speak up, Qin, I noticed that you have started to look at the second one. Do you have any skills? Or have you studied these things before?"

“No,” Qin Yue shook his head. “I was the first to touch these things.”

At most, like him, I did a similar preparation before coming.

Hardy said in an incredible tone: "This is impossible! Wait, you should not go back to the bedroom, God... How much time do you spend studying in one day?"

Qin Yue thought about it and replied: "Besides eating and sleeping?"

Hardy: "..."

The topic seems to be unable to go on...

......

It takes a long time to get six books in one and a half months. When setting up this task, Lu Zhou actually knows this.

Therefore, when he is developing a training plan for his students, he will set the expected results to be not very high. That is, as long as they can digest half of the knowledge points, they can be considered a pass.

As for the remaining knowledge points and the consolidation and enhancement of the knowledge already acquired, you can learn slowly when participating in specific research topics.

After all, there is a certain lag in the books. It is only used for entry, and it involves research in the frontier field. The reference materials are basically peer literature, but the books on the books will be less.

It’s just that Lu Zhou didn’t think that it’s been less than a week after entering August, and someone completed his task ahead of time.

After learning the news, his mood can no longer be described with surprise.

But a surprise...

It seems that he is a treasure.

"...your talent is amazing. I thought that you can make five or even four of these ten questions. It seems that I am a little kid."

Looking away from the test paper in his hand, Lu Zhou looked at Vera, standing opposite his desk, full of surprises.

The questions are all from his own, and the answer is impossible. Although the ten questions are not particularly difficult, they can all do the right thing. There is no doubt that she has thoroughly understood the knowledge points in the six books she has arranged.

Suddenly I got a compliment, and Vera smiled a little, and said modestly.

"The four books in the list you gave me, I have read at Berkeley, may be luck."

"This is not a matter of luck," Lu Zhou put the test paper on the side of the table and said with a smile. "Congratulations on passing my assessment. From now on, you have become a member of my research group!"

Vera’s face showed a smile of joy, which was what she dreamed of.

After a pause, Lu Zhou continued: "I will send you an email about the content of the subject. Although it will not be officially applied for in September, you can think about it during this time. This is a very Interesting proposition, I believe you will be interested."

Vera nodded seriously, and the golden single pony tail seemed to sway like a squirrel's tail.

"I know, is there anything else?"

Lu Zhou shook his head and said: "No, you can go back first."

After collecting her own things into the schoolbag, Vera happily saw goodbye with Lu Zhou and turned and walked outside the office.

Looking at the slightly thin and thin back, Lu Zhou suddenly remembered one thing and said.

"Right, there is one more thing."

Vera, who walked to the door, stopped her footsteps and turned back to Lu Zhou for a confused look.

"My statement may be a bit presumptuous. I hope you don't mind," pulled the drawer, and Lu took a document from it and gently placed it on the table. "I understand that your financial situation may not be very good, so from Princeton University has inquired about the scholarship. This material you take back to fill out, it is best to give it to me tomorrow, I will help you apply."

Doctoral scholarships are relatively easy to get, but master's scholarships, especially the full prizes, are hard to get.

In general, unless you are following a very good mentor, or get a very good recommendation letter, you will get a half prize.

Especially in the place of Princeton, the people who are arrogant have caught a lot, and one is more than one, and the competition can no longer be described by the tragic word.

Looking at the pair of scorpions full of surprises and unbelief, Lu Zhou paused for a moment and continued.

"I hope that you don't delay your studies because of the financial burden, especially don't go to places like fast food restaurants to wash dishes and act as cheap labor. I don't mean that there is anything wrong with this, just hope that you will always remember that your knowledge is Your greatest wealth. If the full prize is not enough, I can help you apply for a part-time job as a teaching assistant, starting with some basic work."

After taking the material from Lu Zhou’s hand, Vera lowered her head and did not speak for a long time.

The little hand clung to the material, her eyes were slightly red, and she suddenly bowed to Lu Zhou.

"Thank you! (Ukrainian)"

I haven't waited for the foggy water to react to it. The little girl turned and ran out of the door, and the footsteps gradually drifted away.

The expression was a little subtle and weird. Lu Zhou carefully recalled what he had said before, and determined that he must have said nothing to offend people.

In fact, to be honest, because occasionally chatting on the Internet is always too much "straight" by Chen Xuejie, when he says something important, he will think about it beforehand.

When I thought of the girl’s red eyes before going out, Lu Zhou was a headache.

Obviously it is a good thing.

I hope not to be misunderstood...

Otherwise it is really enough for him to have a headache.

Shaking his head, Lu Zhou decided not to think about these troublesome things, took out his mobile phone and looked at his time.

It’s almost time to go have lunch.

Stretched a lame, Lu Zhou stood up from the office chair, looked at the opening report that had been completed in the computer screen, and the corner of his mouth could not help but smack a smile.

Hail guess, also known as the corner valley conjecture, the legendary mathematical black hole! It is like a real black hole, engulfing all natural numbers.

The general view of the modern mathematics community is that it has not yet reached the time to solve this problem, but now the Goldbach conjecture has been solved, and the theoretical tools born from it are also strong enough. Lu Zhou feels that he can try to challenge it.

When he thinks about this challenging problem, he is full of energy.

Sure enough, math is interesting.
