I Just Want to Be a Quiet Top Student

The next day, Shen Qi was invited to visit and give lectures at the Morningside Mathematics Center in Zhongguancun.

This was arranged in advance and executed according to plan today.

Morningside Mathematics Center was jointly founded by the Academy of Sciences and a Hong Kong real estate group in 1996. The headquarters building is located in the Academy of Sciences.

The operation model of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton is well known to everyone. It was invested and built by a pair of rich businessmen and sisters in New Jersey. It is not attached to any university, nor is it under the jurisdiction of the US government. It is a completely independent academic research institution.

Morningside Mathematics Center draws on the successful model of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. It is guaranteed by the Academy of Sciences and provides the site. The Hong Kong Real Estate Group pays for the construction of the building and recruits mathematics talents. It is a semi-independent non-governmental academic research institution.

Because it is semi-independent and semi-private, the higher authorities do not set rigid scientific research indicators for the Morningside Mathematics Center, and the researchers here do not have to worry about the number of papers this year not reaching the standard and not being evaluated for professional titles.

They receive a fixed monthly salary from the foundation set up by the Hong Kong real estate owner, and live in an apartment built by the Hong Kong real estate owner for free. They have no worries about food and clothing and no hard tasks. The full-time mathematics researchers of the Morningside Mathematics Center work in the noisy metropolis Among them, I found a paradise.

The "Morningside Mathematics Award" established by the Morningside Mathematics Center is known as the "Chinese Fields Medal".

Morningside Mathematics Center is particularly keen to invite academic experts to give lectures and give lectures, and the experts are also very generous.

The big cows who visited and gave lectures at the Morningside Mathematical Center include Fields Medal winners Edward Witten, Laurent Laforge, Bochelz, Qiu Chengtong, etc., Nobel Prize winners Gross, Cortes, O'Shea et al., and Stephen Hawking.

Today it's Shen Qi's turn.

Yanda is not far from the Morningside Mathematics Center, both of which belong to the Greater Zhongguancun area.

The Hong Kong real estate owner happened to be in the capital to discuss a big business these few days. He heard that Shen Qi was coming to the center to visit and give lectures, so he specially sent three Alphas to Yanda University to pick him up.

The black Alpha leads the way, the white one sits in the rear, and Shen Qi sits in the silver one in the middle.

This Hong Kong real estate tycoon is very concerned about the construction of scientific undertakings in the Mainland, Taiwan and Taiwan. He and his father have spent a lot of money on scientific undertakings in the Mainland and Hong Kong for decades, but they have only invested and seen no output.

Although the investment costs in the academic field could not be recouped, the Hong Kong tycoon's other businesses in the Mainland, Taiwan and Taiwan went smoothly and became more and more prosperous, and the business scale expanded several times.

The Hong Kong tycoon is not short of money, but also pays special attention to ostentation. As the main investor of the Morningside Mathematics Center, the Hong Kong tycoon and the director of the center led all the researchers to stand outside the lobby of the center building, waiting for the arrival of the Fields Medal winner Shen Qi.

Due to the traffic jam, Shen Qi was half an hour late, but this did not affect everyone's enthusiasm.

Accompanied by the Hong Kong boss and the director of the center, Shen Qi visited the center building and spoke highly of the center's hardware facilities and academic supporting facilities: "Director Kuang, Director Wu, the conditions here are very good. Our center is incomparable."

"Professor Shen was joking. The hardware facilities in our center may be newer and more advanced, but the software is completely different from the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study." Director Wu is a pragmatic scholar and a rigorous mathematician.

"Professor Shen is here, and the gap will be filled." Hong Kong boss Kwong Dong is concerned about the scientific cause of his motherland, and he has enough respect for famous scientists.

"I dare not take it." Shen Qi smiled and waved his hands.

Director Kuang brought Shen Qi to the front desk, where a beautiful guest book was placed.

Chairman Kwong handed Shen Qi a signature pen, and made a gesture of invitation: "Professor Shen please give me a letter."

Shen Qi took the signature pen, and slowly flipped through the guestbook with great interest.

Qiu Chengtong has been here before, and Mr. Qiu's message is: a clear conscience, sincerity leads to success--Qiu Chengtong.

French mathematician Laurent Laforgue came here. He wrote in French, but Shen Qi couldn’t understand it. Kuang Dong turned it over to Shen Qi: “Mr. Laforgue’s message is that those who think are geniuses.”

"This sentence was said by Maupassant." Shen Qi continued to turn to the next page. The message on this page was in English, and there was only one signature, Edward Witten.

The coolest thing is Weiteng. Lafoge, the winner of the Philippine Award, copied a famous quote from Maupassant. Weiteng simply didn't write anything, and signed his name.

Director Kwong said: "Mr. Hawking visited and gave lectures at the center in 2004. Unfortunately, he did not leave any text."

Mr. Hawking's physical condition, what can he do... Shen Qi turned to a certain page, and said "Huh", looking curious.

The style of the message on this page is completely different from that of Witten. The pages are filled with dense numbers, arranged according to certain mathematical rules:

6,5,0,0...0,0

1,6,5,0...0,0

...

0,0,0,0...1,6

Under the last line of numbers is an English signature: B.E. Borcherds

"Here, are you happy?" Shen Qi stared at the English signature and laughed.

"This page is Bochelz's message. This is a determinant. Mr. Bocheltz has given us a difficult problem." Mr. Kuang explained enthusiastically.

Shen Qi was a little surprised: "Director Kuang, you should be the one with the highest level of mathematics among billionaires, you even know determinants."

"The university I studied in the UK majored in finance."

"So it turns out that finance majors need to learn mathematics."

The British mathematician Bochelz won the Fields Medal in 1994 for his Moonshine Conjecture. He visited the Morningside Mathematics Center and fumbled a bit during his lecture, leaving a page of determinant messages.

You skin me too.

Shen Qi's heart was aroused, although his heart was skinny, his eyes were extremely sharp.

Concentrated, Shen Qi quickly scanned the digital password phalanx left by Bochelz, which reminded him of the final question when he participated in the IMO in high school.

At that time, the demon formation made Shen Qi on the verge of collapse. Fortunately, he had an idea and used the language of determinant to resolve the demon formation, and finally won the gold medal of IMO full score +1 point.

At this time today, Shen Qi was fighting with Bochelz thousands of miles away. He stood with his hands behind his back, bowed his head and broke through the formation, with thin beads of sweat dripping from his forehead, which was an expression of extreme brain burn.

There was complete silence in the lobby, Director Kuang, Director Wu and other staff held their breaths and dared not lie, for fear of affecting Shen Qi's performance.

This determinant is actually not difficult to decipher. Director Wu and mathematics researchers have already calculated the standard answer.

But Shen Qi wants to make a breakthrough on a whim, so he can only do what he wants, who made him a boss of the Philippine Awards.

Of course, there is also something to watch. It is still very difficult to break through the formation with bare hands without drafting.

Thirty seconds later, Shen Qi's tightly locked brows relaxed. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked everyone, "Is it May 3, 2005 when Bochelz wrote this determinant?"

this……

God!

Director Kwong was very surprised: "Mr. Bochelz visited and gave lectures at the center on May 3, 2005. Before leaving on May 3, he wrote this determinant message. Professor Shen, Master Shen, everything is as it should be. god!"

Shen Qi smiled lightly: "Then I'm right. Bochelz wrote on this page that I, Bochelz, visited here on May 3, 2005. This determinant is actually A date, expressed in determinant language."

Director Wu humbly asked: "Professor Shen, we can calculate the standard answer of this determinant, but I don't know how to calculate May 3rd?"

Shen Qi said: "After unfolding, just take 3 for n."

"Why does n take 3?" Director Wu couldn't figure it out, and then suddenly realized: "Could it be... the long-lost Adama plus edge third algorithm?"

Shen Qi nodded: "Yes, that's it."

Director Wu and other mathematics researchers were stunned: "Professor Shen, you actually made such a huge amount of calculations in less than a minute, and it was purely mental calculations! Amazing, amazing!"
