I Just Want to Be a Quiet Top Student

The results of Ouye's examination came out. American doctors' diagnosis was similar to that of domestic doctors. Anemia caused by immune system disorders, chronic clinical manifestations are dizziness and fatigue, and acute clinical manifestations are chills, high fever, vomiting, diarrhea, and shock.

The doctor's suggestion: take injections, take medicine, and take adequate rest. This disease can only be controlled, and it is difficult to cure it for a while.

"In addition, I would like to remind you not to have sex too frequently, especially when Miss Ou is taking medicine, you need to restrain your desires." The American doctor warned Ouye and Shen Qi seriously.

"Thank you for your diagnosis and advice." Shen Qi thanked the doctor and left the hospital with Ouye.

Shen Qi and Ouye have known each other for six years and dated for four years. From China to the United States, from Chinese medicine to Western medicine, he found that Ouye's condition has been in the so-called control stage. She is not in danger for the time being, but she has not enjoyed a few days of health. Comfortable days, quite poor.

Medicine is an extremely large and complex subject category, science, engineering, literature, history, agriculture, medicine, medicine and science are on an equal footing.

Why did Princeton never set up medicine?

It is precisely because medicine is too vast that establishing a medical system for basic medicine and clinical technology applications requires a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, which is not in line with Princeton's positioning as a small but sophisticated research university.

Chemistry + biology = 1/2 medicine?

It's hard to equate.

But chemistry + biology ≈ pharmacy.

Pharmacy is a part of medicine, an inseparable and important part.

The vast majority of patients rely on drugs to treat their diseases, and they are really forced to go to the operating table. Who would be willing to have surgery when the problem can be solved by taking medicine.

Of course, without taking medicine or surgery, being healthy, free from all diseases, and immortal are the things that everyone hopes for most.

Shen Qi upgraded chemistry to level 6. At this stage, it is mainly to assist the research of condensed matter physics. Looking into the future, the subject of chemistry may play an important role. Chemistry is the most basic curriculum of pharmacology, and the pharmaceutical process is a complex chemical reaction. process.

Shen Qi's master's thesis in condensed matter physics, which he is planning, is titled "Research on Defect Topology Based on Spherical Stable Homotopy Groups", which is a very meaningful topic.

Condensed matter physicists typically use Burgers circuits to define defects in continuums and crystals, an approach that relies too much on physical intuition.

Mathematicians use the mathematical language of group theory and topological processing methods to optimize the basic theoretical framework of condensed matter physics, making condensed matter physics more refined, precise and precise.

This is what Shen Qi is doing.

"The linear singularities of crystals and liquid crystals, such as dislocations and disclinations, must be dealt with by topological analysis of possible singularities of the order parameter."

Shen Qi drew many patterns on the draft paper, such as the distribution of edge dislocations in curved crystals, wedge disclinations, the arrangement of hyperbolic molecules, and expandable domains in columnar phases... He tried to discover New mysteries, this is a very complicated job.

From simplicity to complexity, insight into new universal laws, return to simplicity, and then rebuild complexity.

The reconstructed complex is completely different from the original complex. Shen Qi is eager and curious to get the reconstructed complex.

Boom.

Someone knocked on the door of Shen Qi's office, and then a person came in. It was a middle-aged Caucasian woman with short blond hair and was quite fat. She was an administrative assistant who had just arrived and was arranged for Shen Qi.

"Hello, Barbara." Shen Qi and his administrative assistant, Barbara, had just known each other for a few days, and they were in the running-in period of getting to know each other.

Most of the administrative assistants assigned to well-known professors by the organization are middle-aged women. The technical requirements of the administrative assistant position are not high. They are responsible for the professor's daily affairs such as booking tickets, reimbursement, arranging appointments, and organizing schedules. The most important professional qualities are patience, Careful and polite.

Mainstream universities in the United States do not allow professors to instruct students to run errands for them. If students are willing to do errands for professors, professors will usually pay them.

Professional matters are handled by professionals, and administrative assistants are specialized in running errands and doing chores.

Barbara has a son and a daughter. She has a happy family. She loves the position of Princeton administrative assistant very much. The work is not tiring and the salary is not low.

Barbara's age is about the same as Shen Qi's mother, and she handles things steadily and meticulously: "Professor Shen, I have received as many as 18 formal invitation letters and countless phone invitations in the past few days. The enthusiasm for this award is still going on, and there are many people who want to meet you."

"I sorted them by importance. You can choose the event you want to attend in Outlook, or make an appointment with the person you want to meet. I will help you update the schedule."

"In addition, your teaching assistant candidates need to be put on the agenda. The department has issued a list of candidates. You can take a look."

"Okay Barbara, I'm relieved to have you here. I will tell you my schedule for the next period of time as soon as possible."

Shen Qi checked the schedule that Barbara had sorted out for him. There were so many mundane tasks that distracted people from research.

After choosing a few important activities, and rejecting all others, Shen Qi asked Barbara to arrange related matters.

After a while, another person came, Shen Qi's graduate student Ralph.

Ralph sat down in front of Shen Qi's desk, and found that the desk was covered with white paper with various patterns drawn on it.

There were patterns Ralph had never seen before, and could not tell why.

Some patterns are very familiar to Ralph. He pointed to a piece of paper and said, "This is the product of homotopy rings."

"Yes, Ralph, you have a keen eye for observation."

"Professor Shen, it looks like you are calculating spherical stable homotopy groups, but... this homotopy class with arbitrary large dimensions is weird." Ralph's main research direction is group theory, and he understands this.

"From a purely mathematical point of view, it is indeed weird, but combined with the relevant theories of condensed matter physics, it is reasonable, at least it looks reasonable. Well, I will verify its rationality, which will take some time." Shen Qi felt relieved , In the field of condensed matter physics, there are not many people in the mathematics department who can communicate with him, and Ralph counts as half of them.

"Condensed matter physics? Professor Shen, are you planning to leave the Department of Mathematics?" Ralph was obviously surprised.

Shen Qi shook his head and said, "No, no, you don't have to leave the mathematics department to study condensed matter physics. By the way, Ralph, what do you want from me?"

Ralph handed Shen Qi a document, and said: "In the last functional analysis class, you left a question about the C0-semigroup with strong mixing in the Banach space, and I have already completed the answer. "

"So fast?" Shen Qi was a little surprised. He took Ralph's homework and quickly scanned it. There were no obvious loopholes in the derivation process, and the conclusion was completely correct. Oh, what a talent.
