Chapter 454 (2/2)
Cheng Nuo smiles with satisfaction.
He rubbed the cuff of his shirt and said with a smile, ”here's the question session. You can say what you have. The content can have nothing to do with this lecture, any life or study can be done. ”
”But don't ask about the emotional state, I already have a girlfriend, you have no chance!”
Cheng Nuo said this, can not help but cause a few girls giggle, the atmosphere of the scene is also suddenly relaxed a lot.
”Cheng Professor Cheng, I heard that you won the Veblen prize for the research of Jacobi theorem some time ago, and became the youngest winner in history. What was your mood then A male student stood up and asked.
”If I'm not used to being called a professor, you can call me a senior directly.” Cheng Nuo smiles and waves his hand, indicating that the male student should sit down first.
”I must have been happy then, but I don't feel much now. Although the Veblen prize is famous in the field of geometry, there are more than one or two awards higher than it in the whole field of mathematics. There is still a long way to go before I can be complacent
”Schoolmaster, what do you mean is that your goal is an award higher than the Veblen prize, the Wolf Prize? Or the fields prize? ”
”The short-term goal is the fields prize, after all, the Whorf prize will be won at least after the age of 40.” Cheng Nuo shrugged.
”You are so confident that you will win the fields award. You know, no Chinese has ever won the award?”Cheng Nuo's cold eyes swept over the boy who asked, ”then why can't I be the first one?”
There was an uproar.
Cheng Nuo's words are too confident!
However, the crowd did not intend to continue to ask. Another blonde girl stood up and asked in a low voice, ”schoolmaster, some people say that you prove Jacoby's conjecture, and most of it depends on luck. What do you think of this?”
Cheng Nuo said with a faint smile, ”we in China have a saying that opportunity is for those who are prepared, and luck is for those who seize it.”
”Schoolmaster, I think...”
…………
Although the lecture ended in two hours, it was not happy.
For a while, Cheng continued to stay at school.
The small compartment in Professor Fresnel's office has been given to Cheng Nuo, who is now the second in command of this small office.
Professor Fresnel knew that Cheng Nuo needed a period of rest, so he didn't arrange too complicated tasks for Cheng Nuo. Just let Cheng Nuo with his assistants to get a few new outsourcing projects.
It was not until a month later that Cheng Nuo received a new assignment.
It was not his immediate supervisor, Professor Fresnel, who was talking to Cheng Nuo, but an associate director of the MIT Institute of mathematics.
”Mr. gill, is there any new project for me?” Cheng Nuo came up and asked directly.
Mr. gill nodded and said, ”there is indeed a new task for Professor Cheng.”
Cheng Nuo reached for a sign, ”go ahead, please.”
”This project is not a task assigned by the school, but a cleaning plan of geometric conjecture led by the clay Institute.”
”Cleaning plan?” Cheng Nuo frowns.
”Yes, to be honest, the cleaning plan is still closely related to Professor Cheng.”
