Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

In the evening, by convention, after the first day of the academic conference, the American Mathematical Society hosted a dinner at a hotel next to Berkeley.

For the circle of mathematics, the academic conference and the banquet after the award 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 submission of papers of particular interest, or that many of the big men will not make a trip here. If it is not just a good way, Lu Zhou will not come here to show his face.

It is precisely because of this that only a few big cockroaches seem to be more "hot".

Although Lu Zhou was very low-key when he entered the stadium, he chose the side door of the banquet hall. However, after entering the banquet hall, the people who talked with him were one by one, so that he had almost no leisure time.

As for his little apprentice, he is following the step by step, nervously watching and looking around. It seems that he is not good at such occasions.

Even if Lu Zhou advised her many times, this kind of banquet is a good opportunity to expand his network. He should communicate more with others than with his own, because there is almost no one to notice her presence next to her.

However, the little girl did not listen to his words.

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

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

It seems that she has a long way to go to develop her into an outstanding scholar.

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

As the music rang, the population density in the banquet hall finally began to shift to the dance floor, and Lu Zhou finally got rid of the continuous greetings.

A champagne was taken from the long table, and the boat went to the rest area on the edge of the banquet hall to sit down.

Just as he was planning to listen to the music and enjoy the short-lived leisure for a while, a tall, tall, American girl with a natural wave rolled over and braved the courage to yell at him.

"Hello, Professor Lu, my name is Hannah, I am very glad to meet you."

Lu Zhou and Yan Yue said: "Hello, Miss Hannah, is there anything?"

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

"Of course." Lu Zhou looked at her with some confusion and couldn't understand what she wanted to do.

"It is like this. I am very interested in mathematics and physics. I plan to apply for mathematics and physics at Stanford University next year." Someone was embarrassed to look at Lu Zhou. Hannah blushes. "I have always admired your story, no. I thought I had a chance to touch you at this party... Can you please write a letter of recommendation for me?"

That's it.

For overseas professors, writing a letter of recommendation is really not a difficult task. Many professors have to write dozens of copies every time they expire. Although not everyone will give it, but in general, the basics will be given.

"Of course, but it is not so easy to get my recommendation letter. I can give you a chance, but can you take control of yourself," Lu Zhou smiled and responded to her sly eyes. Said with a relaxed tone, "So, are you mentally prepared?"

I don't know if it's because of the problem of context, or if there is some deviation in his English words, and let the strange Hannah sitting across from him have a strange brain hole. So that after hearing his words, her brain instantly crashed for a few seconds.

“Hey? Hey?!” Hannah squatted there for a while. After returning to her, her cheeks suddenly floated a mysterious red cloud, and the eyes smacked and sneaked around. “But, I... I, okay.”

Taking a deep breath, she calmed down.

Looking down at the table, Miss Hannah bite her lip and whispered.

"I am... ready."

Although it is a professor, the age is almost the same as her, and there is not much psychological burden. And it is better to say that this kind of man who seems to be harmless to humans and animals, but is full of aggressiveness, is quite appetizing for her.

However, this is too direct.

Although she does not object to this straight ball...

"Ok, it seems that you are ready," he nodded in satisfaction. Lu Zhou looked at Vera, who was sitting next to him, and his face was stunned and said: "Vila, debut for me." The question of the function is tested by her. Remember not to be too difficult, probably the subject of the undergraduate level is enough."

Vera: ...?

Hannah:? ? ?

......

The complex variable function and the partial differential equation are the basis of mathematical physics, but the latter is still too difficult for undergraduates who have not yet started the master's degree study. It is relatively reasonable to choose the subject of the complex change.

Although the attitude of overseas professors on the letter of recommendation is "as long as you are sincere and sincere, I will basically give it to this kind of thing," Lu Zhou feels that as a master of the field of number theory, he has to be a bit of his own. Features.

It is not so easy to get his recommendation letter.

If you are not familiar with it, then do it!

Although it was a slap in the face, it was the order of the mentor, and Vera was still very embarrassed.

As there was no paper and pencil in the banquet hall, she went to the hotel lobby with Miss Hannah, who was still in the face.

There was no one around, and Lu Zhou leaned on the chair.

However, this God seems to be destined not to let him go. The two girls just left here. Mr. Francis, the president of the American Mathematical Society, came with a man in a suit.

"Hello, Professor Lu, we met again." Mr. Francis, who was white and white, came over and looked at Lu Zhou's friendly smile.

The original Princeton report was the best young speaker award he gave to Lu Zhou and a $10,000 prize. Although there is not much communication between the two academics, the relationship in private is good.

Lu Zhou got up and shook hands with him, then looked at the man who looked like him.

I always feel that this is familiar, but I can't recognize who it is.

"Long time no see... is this?"

Mr. Francis smiled and said: "Please let me introduce you, this gentleman is Elon Musk."

Elon Musk?

This time Lu Zhou was really surprised.

Not surprisingly surprised by the name of the big man, but I can't figure out why he would appear here.

"I am very 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 admired your name."

Lu Zhou gave him a look at the accident and shook hands with him.

"Hello, I am very happy to meet you."

Speaking of Elon Musk, it is also a must-have.

After taking a bachelor's degree in economics from the University of Pennsylvania, he spent less than a year in a cross-disciplinary degree in physics.

In the blink of an eye, for 95 years, he continued to enter Stanford University for a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Applied Physics for his love of science.

However, perhaps because the identity of the schoolmaster has been unable to satisfy him, he only stayed at Stanford University for two days and chose to leave the campus and go to Silicon Valley.

As for the later things, many people may know. In less than a decade, as the founder of the three companies Spaex, Tesla and Paypal, he made a legend in Silicon Valley with his own name.

Whether it is online payment technology, new energy vehicles, or ambitious "Falcon 9 Rocket" and "Mars Colonization Program", he has interpreted the world with action, what is a real technology company, what is called technology change the world.

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

In this respect, he and Lu Zhou are probably two distinct types of people. Aside from the identity of the company's president and Xueba, he is more like an engineer, and Lu Zhou is a scholar.

To make an inappropriate metaphor, the difference between the two is probably similar to the "Iron Man" and "Mr. Magic" in Marvel.

It is precisely because of this, Lu Zhou is somewhat confused, why he appears here.

He has never heard of this name in the mathematics community.

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 that you are here, but he came here from Palo Alto."

Lu Zhou glanced at him and asked some unexpectedly: "Mr. Musk is also interested in mathematics?"

"Of course, science is inseparable from mathematics. Although my research on mathematics is not as deep as physics research, I admire mathematicians. Because when I was studying for a degree in physics in Pennsylvania, the most troublesome thing was not physical problems, but mathematics. problem."

Looking at Lu Zhou, Musk smiled and said something that surprised him.

"However, I am more interested in you than math."

Lu Zhou: ...? -

(It was a bit of a thing at home yesterday, only a chapter came out, and I have to go out in a while, so there is only one chapter today. Seeing that I have been playing such a stable share, I took a vacation today qaq)
