Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

In the evening, as usual, after the first day of academic conferences, the American Mathematical Society hosted a dinner in a hotel next to Berkeley.

For the circle of mathematics, academic conferences and banquets after the awards ceremony are almost the main way for these scholars to contact and communicate with their peers.

However, this kind of academic conference for young scholars, unless it is to see the manuscripts that are of particular interest, or many big guys will not make a special trip here. If it is not just the way, Lu Zhou will probably not show up here.

It is precisely for this reason that the few big names seem to be "hot".

Although Lu Zhou was very low-key when he entered the venue, he chose the side door of the banquet hall, but after entering the banquet hall, the people who talked to him were one after another, leaving him almost no time off.

As for his apprentice, he followed him step by step and looked around nervously, seemingly not very good at such occasions.

Even though Lu Zhou suggested to her many times, this kind of banquet is a good opportunity to expand her network. She should communicate with people rather than follow her, because there is hardly anyone noticed her presence by her side.

However, the little girl did not listen to him.

In the end, Lu Zhou had to give up the persuasion and go with her.

To be honest, he has never seen such a timid hairy hair.

It seems that there is still a long way to go to train her into an outstanding scholar.

Halfway through the banquet, the dance floor sounded elegant music.

With the sound of music, the population density in the banquet hall finally began to shift to the dance floor, and Lu Zhou was finally relieved from the continuous greetings.

Taking a champagne from the long table, Lu Zhou went to the lounge area on the edge of the ballroom and sat down.

While he was planning to listen to music and enjoy a short leisure time, a tall American girl with natural wavy hair and long hair came over and gathered the courage to talk to him.

"Hello, Professor Lu, my name is Hannah. I'm glad to meet you."

Lu Zhou and Yan Yue said cheerfully, "Hello, Ms. Hannah, is there anything wrong?"

Hannah: "It's not particularly difficult for you ... can I sit opposite you?"

"Of course you can." Lu Zhou glanced at her with a doubt, not understanding what she wanted to do.

"That's it. I'm very interested in mathematical physics. I plan to apply for a major in mathematical physics at Stanford University next year," looked at Lu Zhou with a little embarrassment, and said Hannah with a red face. "I have always admired your story, no Thinking of having the chance to meet you at this party ... Could you please write me a recommendation letter? "

That's it.

For overseas professors, it is not difficult to write a recommendation letter. Many professors have to write dozens of letters each time they expire. Although not everyone will give it, but generally it will be given in person.

"Of course you can, but it's not so easy to get my recommendation letter. I can give you a chance, but can you take it for yourself?" Lu Zhou smiled, responding to her unsightly gaze, using Easily muttered, "So, are you ready?"

I don't know if it was because of the context, or if he had some deviations in the wording of English, which caused Miss Hannah sitting opposite him to have a strange brain hole. After hearing what he said, her brain crashed for a few seconds.

"Huh? Huh ?!" Hannah was there for a while. After returning to her mind, an inexplicable red cloud suddenly appeared on her cheek, and her eyes flickered around in a panic.

Taking a deep breath, she calmed down.

Looking down at the table, Miss Hannah bit her lower lip gently and whispered.

"I ... are ready."

Although she is a professor, she is about the same age as her and does not have much psychological burden. And it might as well be said that this kind of man who seems harmless to humans and animals, but full of aggressiveness, is kind to her appetite.

But this is too straightforward.

Although she doesn't dislike this straight ball ...

"Ok, it looks like you're ready," Nodded with satisfaction, Lu Zhou looked at Willa who was sitting next to him with the same expression of persecution and said, "Wila, come back for my debut Test her with questions about functions. Remember that it's not too difficult, probably an undergraduate level question is enough. "

Willa: ...?

Hannah? ? ?

...

Complex variable functions and partial differential equations are the foundation of mathematical physics, but the latter is still too difficult for undergraduates who have not yet begun master's studies. It is relatively reasonable to choose complex topics for investigation.

Although the attitude of overseas professors to recommendation letters is "As long as you are sincere in asking, I will basically give it", but Lu Zhou feels that as a master in the field of number theory, he also has a bit of his own words. Features.

It is not so easy to get his recommendation letter.

If you are unfamiliar, then do it!

Although he was aggressive, after all, it was the instructor's order, and Vera did it very well.

Since there was no pen and paper in the ballroom, she took Miss Hannah, who was still aggressive, to the hotel lobby.

Finally no one was around, Lu Zhou leaned back comfortably on the chair.

However, this **** seems destined not to let him relax. As soon as the two girls left, Mr. Francis, president of the American Mathematical Society, came over with a man in a suit.

"Hello Professor Lu, we're meeting again." Mr. Francis, with a gray beard, came over and smiled friendly at Lu Zhou.

The first Princeton report was the best young speaker award he gave to Lu Zhou, and a prize of $ 10,000. Although there is not much academic exchange between the two, the private relationship is still good.

Lu Zhou got up and shook hands with him, then looked at the unsophisticated man next to him.

I always feel that this is familiar, but I don't know who it is.

"It's been a long time ... this one?"

Mr. Francis smiled and said, "Let me introduce to you, this man is Elon Musk."

Elon Musk?

Lu Zhou was really surprised this time.

Not that he was surprised by the name of the big brother, but was wondering why he appeared here.

"I'm glad to meet you, Professor Lu." Looking at Lu Zhou, Musk said with a smile, "Although we met for the first time, I have long respected your name."

Lu Zhou glanced at him somewhat unexpectedly and shook hands with him.

"Hello, I'm glad to meet you too."

Speaking of Elon Musk, he is also an incredible bull.

After receiving a bachelor's degree in economics from the University of Pennsylvania, it took him less than a year to earn a bachelor's degree in physics across fields.

In the blink of an eye in 1995, out of his love of science, he continued to enter Stanford University for a PhD in materials science and applied physics.

However, perhaps because Xue Ba's status can no longer satisfy him, he only stayed at Stanford University for two days before choosing to leave the campus and go to Silicon Valley.

As for what happened later, many people may know. In less than ten years, as the founder of the three companies spacex, Tesla and paypal ~ www.readwn.com ~, he has made a legend in Silicon Valley with his own name.

Whether it is online payment technology, new energy vehicles, or the ambitious "Falcon 9 Rocket" and "Mars Colonization Plan", he has explained to the world with action. What is a true technology company and what is technology? change the world.

Of course, the technology here mainly refers to the technical aspect.

In this regard, he and Lu Zhou are probably two very different people. Leaving aside the status of president and Xueba, he is more like an engineer, while Lu Zhou is a scholar.

An inappropriate analogy, the difference between the two is probably similar to "Iron Man" and "Mr. Wonder" in Marvel.

It is for this reason that Lu Zhou is a little confused as to why he appeared here.

He had never heard the name in mathematics.

As if to see the confusion of Lu Zhou, Mr. Francis said with a smile: "Mr. Musk is the patron of this academic conference. I heard you are here, but he came here from Palo Alto on a special trip."

Lu Zhou glanced at him, and asked a little unexpectedly: "Mr. Musk also interested in mathematics?"

"Of course, science is inseparable from mathematics. Although my study of mathematics is not as deep as that of physics, I admire mathematicians. Because when I was studying in Physics in Pennsylvania, the biggest headache was not physical problems, but mathematics problem."

Looking at the landing boat, Musk smiled and said something that surprised him.

"But I'm more interested in you than math."

Lu Zhou: ...?
