Chapter 455

Strictly speaking, Cheng Nuo is not the youngest recipient of a Ph.D. in MIT history.

In front of him, there was a guy named Shuta Cobham, who received a doctor of science degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology at the age of 20. However, he was imprisoned a few years later for being involved in a terrorist attack and is still serving his sentence. MIT also revoked his student status.

So on the bright side, Cheng Nuo was the youngest doctor of science officially recognized by MIT.

Coupled with the front-end time, Cheng Nuo proved that the heat of Jacobi's conjecture was still there.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology made a lot of publicity, planning to turn Cheng Nuo into a business card of their Massachusetts Institute of Technology, so as to give them a sense of presence in front of the public.

Seeing his handsome graduation photo on MIT's official website, with the title of "the youngest doctor", Cheng Nuo rubbed his chin and smiled in satisfaction, and no longer planned to pursue the issue of infringing his portrait rights.

Cheng Nuo also experienced the trouble of being famous again. When walking on campus, he was often recognized by excited juniors.

After finally arriving at the library, I planned to read a book quietly for a while, but found many students pretending to be passing by from time to time dangling in front of me.

Cheng Nuo smiled helplessly, he could only pretend that they didn't exist and continue with his daily study plan.

Just look at it, and you won't lose a piece of meat. Anyway, Cheng Nuo thought that his appearance could still pass the test of the public.

…………

No matter how chaotic it was outside, Cheng Nuo just stayed quietly on the campus, watching the clouds roll and the clouds calm down.

However, such days did not last long.

Cheng Nuo graduated!

This news is almost known to all major colleges and universities.

Many top universities also understand what Cheng Nuo's graduation means.

Cheng Nuo was still a student at MIT before, and many universities would not openly rob him.

But now that Cheng Nuo has graduated, it's different.

Cheng Nuo is now a free agent, which means that they can also recruit Cheng Nuo to teach in their school.

Cheng Nuo is now known as the strongest newcomer in the mathematics world.

If such a talent is recruited to their school, the promotion of their mathematical strength will undoubtedly be huge.

More importantly, Cheng Nuo was still young, very young. With Cheng Nuo's current strength, the future development potential is huge.

Recruiting Cheng Nuo was also considered an investment. And it is an investment with a high probability of making a profit without losing money.

Of course, MIT has certain advantages over other schools, but other schools are not without a chance.

There are too few geniuses like Cheng Nuo, too few!

A mathematician like this who has solved one of the major conjectures in geometry at the age of 21 may only come out once in 50 years.

If you can grab it, you will earn it!

So, in just three or four days, Cheng Nuo had already received emails from more than a dozen universities.

Princeton and Harvard in the United States, Cambridge and Oxford in England, Zurich in Sweden...

All of these universities expressed a faint solicitation in their emails. The conditions offered are also very tempting.

The highest condition offered by Cambridge University is to directly award Cheng Nuo the title of associate professor of Cambridge University, a senior researcher at the Institute of Mathematics and Physics of Cambridge University, with an annual salary of 500,000 pounds, and the right to call a 500,000 research fund.

To be honest, Cheng Nuo was a little tempted.

But Cheng Nuo was still waiting, waiting for MIT's statement.

However, Cheng Nuo did not wait for the conditions offered by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to stay on as a teacher. Instead, he waited for another news.

The three-year Veblen Prize will be awarded on November 10, and Cheng Nuo was nominated for this Veblen Prize.

The Veblen Prize, full name Oswald Veblen Prize in Geometry, is an academic award issued by the American Mathematical Society to honor scholars who have made significant research achievements in the field of geometry or topology. The award is awarded every three years and carries a prize of US$50,000.

In the eyes of many people in the mathematics community, this award is the highest award in the field of geometry and topology!

The previous recipients of the Veblen Prize were all long-established mathematicians in the fields of geometry and topology, and the youngest one was also thirty-four years old.

Cheng Nuo was nominated for this award, to be honest, it was unexpected by many people.

But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense.

Cheng Nuo's proof of Jacobi's conjecture alone is enough for the American Mathematical Society to ignore Cheng Nuo's age and qualifications. Plus that Cheng Nuo theorem...

They realized with horror that Cheng Nuo could really win this year's Veblen Award!

After all, the number of winners of the Veblen Prize is three each.

As for the rest of the nominated mathematicians in the fields of geometry and topology, apart from being older and more experienced than Cheng Nuo, their academic achievements in recent years are not bad compared to previous winners, but compared with Cheng Nuo, they are still There are some gaps.

As soon as the nomination list for the Veblen Award came out, MIT finally lost their temper and sent someone to find Cheng Nuo.

"Let's talk about the conditions directly?" Cheng Nuo crossed his fingers and said to the chubby middle-aged man in front of him.

Cheng Nuo was now in a state of being up for sale.

If the conditions were similar, Cheng Nuo would naturally choose to stay at MIT, but if the conditions were too different, Cheng Nuo would choose the best.

The chubby middle-aged man said, "Mr. Cheng Nuo, we at Massachusetts Institute of Technology can be said to be full of sincerity this time."

"After discussion, we decided to hire Mr. Cheng Nuo as our associate professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, with an annual salary of 800,000 U.S. dollars and a special research project fund of 500,000 U.S. dollars. Moreover, we will also guarantee that you will receive at least one leading national-level scientific research project every year." project opportunity."

Hemorrhage!

Cheng Nuo knew from the pained expression on the middle-aged man's face that MIT was bleeding heavily this time.

But it won't work if you don't bleed a lot!

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is also forced to help.

If Cheng Nuo was snatched away by another school, where would they save face?

So, Cheng Nuo, you must stay.

This idea became more determined when Cheng Nuo was nominated for the Veblen Award!

Cheng Nuo smiled and stretched out his hand, "I see the sincerity of the school. I believe we will spend some interesting years in the land of MIT."

The chubby middle-aged man squinted his eyes and shook hands with Cheng Nuo, "Mr. Cheng Nuo, welcome to join our Massachusetts Institute of Technology."

Then the chubby middle-aged man took out an employment letter from his briefcase and handed it to Cheng Nuo, "Professor Cheng, the school's opinion is to let you stay in Professor Fresnel's office temporarily as the deputy team leader." Position. Wait until the next semester to start normal teaching.”

Cheng Nuo nodded, "It's exactly what I want."

Without the class schedule, Cheng Nuo was happy to be at leisure. universal data
