Xueba starts with change

Chapter 439

"Uh... Should the other party be a respectable opponent?"

Chen Zhou thought about it, but still couldn't figure out how to reply to this email.

Chen Zhou actually wanted to tell the other party that he already knew who the winner was.

It can be considered that the selection committee for the Cole Number Theory Prize has not yet been officially announced.

And James Maynard should have some hope.

Therefore, Chen Zhou couldn't bear it.

What if the news turned out to be an oolong in the end, then he would really die of embarrassment.

In the end, Chen Zhou started the business model of blowing each other.

If you really want to say that the other party is a respectable opponent, it is not wrong.

The results of James Maynard's Diophantine approach are indeed important enough.

It is worthy of Chen Zhou's wave of business exchanges.

In addition, there is another point that Chen Zhou finds James Maynard interesting.

James Maynard was born in a family atmosphere with a strong humanistic atmosphere, but he has a soft spot for mathematics.

In the subsequent studies, he also behaved a little "out of gregariousness".

Some media have reported that in a physics test, it is stipulated that if the calculation process is not given, even if the answers are all correct, they will only be one-third of the full score.

In protest, James Maynard wrote only the answers to all the questions.

And these answers are all right.

However, he only scored less than half of the points.

This is true not only in learning, but also in academic research.

James Maynard's first reaction to an interesting question is "why not try?"

Even those problems seem difficult to solve in academia.

But for him, it was not a reason to stumble.

When advancing the proof of the twin prime number conjecture, James Maynard's mentor warned him: "I'm sure you can't solve this problem, so you don't need to go all out."

But this is exactly the opposite of James Maynard's life creed of "do nothing, never stop".

Therefore, in the face of the mentor's admonition, the young rebellious mathematician just shrugged.

Then, devote yourself to the study of mathematics.

The final result obviously completely exceeded the "expectation" of James Maynard's mentor.

This is what Chen Zhou finds interesting about this young mathematician.

Speaking of which, James Maynard and Chen Zhou himself are a bit similar.

That is, a well-approved, well-made plan.

It will be strictly enforced.

As for outside voices, they will be left behind.

Therefore, an excellent mathematician needs to have a dead brain.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhou thought of Professor Zhang Yitang again.

This old man has been studying the twin prime number conjecture for decades.

Then, he became a blockbuster and became a sweeping monk in the mathematics world.

After the business exchange emails were returned to James Maynard, Chen Zhou quit the mailbox and began to search for the prize money of the Cole Number Theory Prize.

This, in fact, Zhang Yitang is the one with the most say.

It's just that Chen Zhou didn't intend to ask so blatantly.

He also looks embarrassed.

But Chen Zhou checked for a while and found that the information on the Internet was really mixed.

Some say a lot, and some say little.

There are hundreds of thousands of dollars, and there are more than a dozen or 20 dollars.

Less is less pitiful.

At least, it is said to be only five thousand dollars.

For this, Chen Zhou automatically filtered it.

How is it possible that such a grand prize is the Cole Prize in Number Theory, which is known as the highest award in the field of number theory. How could it be possible that the prize money is only [-] US dollars?
This is just a joke...

If it is far away, you will receive a prize every time you come and go, plus a little expense.

This five thousand dollar bonus, I'm afraid it's not worth my own expenses...

Anyway, Chen Zhou didn't believe it.

Chen Zhou felt that according to Yao Tongtong's statement, no matter what, it would cost one hundred thousand to start, right?
Facing such mixed information, Chen Zhou couldn't tell the truth from the fake.

This is not like a math problem. Chen Zhou can deduce it by himself, and it is easy to judge whether it is right or wrong.

Therefore, Chen Zhou simply didn't check, and no matter how patient he was, he gave himself a sense of anticipation.

Otherwise, when the time comes to accept the award, everything will be too boring.

After closing the browser, Chen Zhou began to return to his own rhythm.

The Cole Prize in Number Theory and these are just some small accidents in life.

Or rather, some small spices.

For Chen Zhou, the essence of life is still learning.

Therefore, the research of Ge Guai, the research of the glue ball project.

And this afternoon, the task assigned by Professor Artin.

This is what Chen Zhou is mainly concerned about now.

He piled up the draft paper, the collection of wrong questions, and the materials given by Professor Arting on the desk.

Speaking of which, the general algebra direction of graduate students will learn, or encounter content.

Mainly Galois theory and domain theory, module theory and category theory, ring theory and representation theory, commutative algebra, homology algebra and so on.

And what Chen Zhou is watching now is just these.

However, it is different from ordinary graduate students.

Whether it is Professor Arting's requirements for Chen Zhou, or Chen Zhou's requirements for himself, they are far beyond the depth of ordinary graduate students.

After this lecture, Chen Zhou only felt that his time seemed to be more tense.

After all, the content of algebraic geometry was his own.

time, day by day.

Yang Yiyi has followed Professor Rainer Weiss to LIGO to participate in specific research projects.

Only Chen Zhou was left alone, leading a self-disciplined and fulfilling life at MIT.

A week later, the time requested by Professor Artin came.

Chen Zhou has to hand in the research summary on the study of non-commutative rings from a geometric point of view.

Chen Zhou glanced at the research summary he had printed out, and shook his head slightly. This was the first time he had handed in homework since his freshman year.

After communicating the time and place with Professor A Ting on the phone, Chen Zhou took the research summary he had written and went out to find him.

Although Chen Zhou has only been to Professor A Ting's office once, he is no stranger to the location.

This is mainly due to the daily walks with Yang Yiyi after dinner.

The two of them walked around the entire campus of MIT.

If you really want to say that the place is completely unfamiliar, it may be the inside of each building.

Anyway, Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi were no strangers to the road outside.

Knowing the way, Chen Zhou came to Professor A Ting's office.

Chen Zhou knocked on the door politely, and after getting permission from Professor A Ting, he opened the door and walked in.

Just like the first time we met, this old man with gray hair.

At the moment, I am looking at the information at my desk.

Hearing the movement, he raised his head slightly and looked at Chen Zhou who walked in.

Professor Artin smiled and stretched out his hand: "For a week, let me see your homework, how is it done?"

Chen Zhou took out the printed research summary from his backpack and handed it to Professor A Ting.

　According to the information Yibai checked, the prize money for the Cole Prize in Number Theory and Cole Prize in Algebra is actually only [-] US dollars.But in the text, it has been modified and a lot has been added.
