From small town scholar to chief scientist

Chapter 101 Something Has Happened in His Mind
After Birkar listened to Zhouyi's views on the ABC conjecture,
Surprised, he didn't expect a 19-year-old boy to study Mochizuki Shinichi's thesis so thoroughly.

Mochizuki's papers, especially Mochizuki's so-called IUT theory, are not understood by many people in the entire mathematics community.

Or rather skeptical.

Among them, Mochizuki's colleague Schultz reacted most violently.

"Then what is your attitude towards Shinichi Mochizuki's paper?"

Bilkar didn't know why he asked such a question.

Zhou Yi shook his head and said:
"I still can't see right and wrong. I can only say that this person is amazing. It may take me a month to fully digest his thesis."

?

A question mark slowly appeared in Birkar's heart.

a month?

Could it be that this person is really a young genius?
Others have studied it for many years but have not understood it, but you can understand it in a month or two.

Zhou Yi saw Bill Karl's expression, and realized that he had overplayed his head. The one in front of him was a Fields Medal winner.
So Zhou Yi said lightly:

"Actually, I'm more interested in Kepler's conjecture and the Newton problem that was born with it. I'm just stuck in a bottleneck for the time being. I believe it won't take long to prove it."

Bilcar directly ignored Zhou Yi's words in his heart. From the conversation just now, it can be seen that this plainly dressed boy is indeed very talented.

It deserves Professor Milnor's admiration, but the style of painting is wrong.

Why study two conjectures at the same time, and both are extremely difficult conjectures.

This man has a problem with his mind.

Zhou Yi said this in order to pave the way for his subsequent publication of papers and to be as reasonable as possible.

Bill Carr thought for a while and said:
"Actually, even if you thoroughly research Mochizuki Shinichi's thesis, it is not very helpful for the proof of the ABC conjecture, and your research on the Kepler conjecture has made some progress.

The proof of the three dimensions is actually more sophisticated than some old professors who are immersed in this direction. It is better to be less and more refined than to be more complicated. Maybe the Kepler conjecture will really be solved by you. "

Zhou Yi could feel the sincerity of the Fields Medal winner, and said lightly:

"Thank you for your suggestion. I don't know if you have anything to do with me?"

After discussing mathematics for so long, Zhou Yi remembered that this boss had something to do with him.

Bill Carr said:

"We are planning to establish a Qiu Chengtong Applied Mathematics Research Center in Yuzhou. We are discussing with Academician Yang of Chongqing Normal University, the principal of your school and the leaders of the Education Bureau.
Now the director of the Institute of Computational Mathematics and Operations Research at Mizuki University is discussing with them. "

"Applied Mathematics Research Center?"

Zhou Yi wondered:
"Don't we have a municipal key applied mathematics research center at Yuda University?
Moreover, Chongqing Normal University re-established the National Applied Mathematics Research Center because of Yang.

It is even higher than the level of Yu University. "

The game here is probably not the result of academician Yang's contribution.

Therefore, the status of Yu University in mathematics is quite embarrassing in Yuzhou.

Although Yang is not an academician of the two academies, but an international academician, the weight of the word academician is different.

What's more, he is an academician of the International Academy of Scientific Research composed of 36 member countries and international associations, and his gold content is not lower than some people.

To put it in a harsher way, one is not an academician of the two academies if one has no understanding of the world.

Bill Carr said:

"It's not certain whether it will be successful or not, it depends on what the Chongqing Normal University has in mind, but I came to you mainly to tell you that Mr. Qiu is going to accept you as an apprentice.

Professor Mirno of Princeton also wants to accept you as an apprentice, and wants to ask where you are going to study in graduate school or direct direct Ph.D. "

Zhou Yi was dumbfounded when he heard this,
What?
Mr. Qiu and Professor Milno actually planned to accept themselves as apprentices.

This damn, the Arabian Nights?

These two are the top mathematics masters in the world.

Not to mention Mirno, the three-time winner, Qiu Chengtong is also a double-winner, and the winner of five world-class mathematics medals. His Calabi-Yau manifold is the basic concept of string theory in physics.

Although Mr. Yang is skeptical about string theory.

Zhou Yi said in a daze:

"Boss, sit down on the bench first. Let me think about it. The news came too suddenly."

Originally, I thought I would follow Birkar to study in graduate school, but I didn't expect that Mr. Qiu personally accepted himself as an apprentice.

Of course it’s okay to follow Qiu, and it’s also okay to go to Princeton to blog directly, it’s just that it’s more beneficial for you to choose.

The only pressure to follow Qiu is the pressure from Shangjing University. The differences in schools and secret rivalries will definitely have a slight impact on my future.

Going to Princeton to study in graduate school basically has no such impact.

Before Bilkar came, he also asked people to check the information of Zhouyi, so he immediately said:
"When you come to Shuimu Qiuzhen Academy, you will be directly rewarded with a living allowance of 20 every year. Don't worry about the rest of the matter, it will be taken care of properly."

Zhou Yi looked at Birkar in shock, and said in disbelief:
"20W?"

"Please tell Mr. Qiu that it is my honor to be his student."

Without even thinking about it, Zhou Yi spoke directly.

20W, Zhou Yi has never seen so much money in his life.

You can make so much money just by reading a book, there is no reason not to go.

Princeton would not give Zhou Yi so much money.

Even if Princeton is indeed a top university, but that is 20W.

Bill Carr said:

"The money was paid out of Mr. Yau's own pocket, and Mr. Yau united many famous people and companies to raise donations. He said that he wanted to narrow the gap with Harvard, because Harvard will give some outstanding graduate students a year of 4W a year. .”

Zhou Yi said:

"Please be sure to tell Mr. Qiu that I, Zhou Yi, will definitely not go to Princeton to study in graduate school."

Bill Karl smiled and said:

"Well, then it's settled. I look forward to meeting you in Shuimu in September this year. I still have to discuss things about the Applied Mathematics Center, so I'm leaving first."

Looking at Birkar leaving, Zhou Yi thought for a while, this Applied Mathematics Center is probably going to be cool.

Where is it more appropriate to establish?
Yuda?Southwest Normal University or Chongqing Normal University?

It's all a problem.

Even if it is established, is anyone willing to go?
The mathematics teachers of the three schools wish they could all be established in their own schools.

Academic achievements can be counted as belonging to their own school.

After Bill Karl left, he took out his mobile phone and called Mr. Qiu.

"Hello? Mr. Qiu."

"Well, it's me."

A soft voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I talked to Zhou Yi. His talent is indeed good, but there is something wrong with his thinking."

Bill Karl said his thoughts directly.

It was also the first time that Bill Carr saw a young man under the age of 20 study two world-class mathematical conjectures at the same time.
