Zhang Mingrui's reference to "Qiao Algebra" is actually referring to Super Helical Space Algebra.
The academic community has long been accustod to this naming convention.
It's very difficult to achieve results in theoretical research, so it is only right for their nas to be rembered through the ages.
Otherwise, students of later generations who want to pay their respects to the pioneers might not even be able to find the right person.
It's like those kids who, upon reaching university and inevitably starting to study advanced mathematics, curse Fermat, Taylor, Lagrange, and L'Hôpital all in one breath with the exclamation "damn it all"… and they never forget them for the rest of their lives.
Zhou Liang sighed and withdrew his gaze, nodding with a sense of poignancy, "Zhang, do you think anyone is born with knowledge? A young man not yet twenty has begun to make feel I can no longer foresee the future of mathematics."
"Haha, felt a bit off, didn't it?"
Zhang Mingrui laughed, then shrugged and said, "I feel quite the opposite. It lets appreciate how oppressive those giants of mathematics during the golden age of growth last century must have felt. Just imagine, if you were in the sa era as Newton, you'd probably feel hopeless as well. What excites is that Qiao Ze is from Huaxia."
"Co to think of it, that's true," Zhou Liang also started to laugh, abandoning the unsolvable problems he was pondering and directly asked, "Looking for must an there's sothing you want to discuss, right?"
"Yeah, there is sothing I want to discuss with you. Professor Sheng from Xi Lin Optoelectronics Institute just called ," Zhang Mingrui nodded and said.
"To write a recomndation letter for Qiao Ze next year?" Zhou Liang asked, then smilingly said, "Didn't we talk about this last ti? Just write it... He has solved the Yang-Mills Equations and even ca up with Qiao Algebra, who knows, there might be Qiao Geotry too, what's an academician compared to that? If you're reluctant to write it, I'll do it."
"It's not about Qiao Ze," Zhang Mingrui shook his head and replied, "It's about Qiao Ze's advisor, that Professor Li. Professor Sheng said he and Director Zhang from the Optoelectronics Institute had previously promised during that lithography machine project to find an academician as a recomndation for Qiao Ze's advisor.
They have found soone to write the recomndation letter, but they hope we can consider it when the deliberations start next year. You know, their project is essential now, and apparently, there are many specific engineering design and computational issues that also involve collaboration with the Xilin Mathematics Institute."
After hearing this, Zhou unconsciously glanced at the problems on his computer screen and grimaced, not knowing what to say for a mont.
This was indeed sothing new.
A student benefiting from their advisor's reputation isn't unheard of, but it's not commonplace either.
But a student arranging for an academician to recomnd their advisor and push them toward the nation's highest academic institution, that was sothing he had never heard of before.
"He said it was a previous commitnt? Why call you about this all of a sudden today?" Zhou pondered for a while before asking.
"Because today Qiao Ze officially graduated as an undergraduate and then registered as a doctoral student with that Professor Li," Zhang Mingrui answered.
"Cough cough... Such a coincidence? If I rember correctly, that professor's na is Li Jian Gao, right? Why plan everything for today?"
"Might just be a coincidence? I reckon both Zhang and Sheng thought this whole thing was far-fetched. Perhaps initially, they just wanted to placate the kid. But now that it's a done deal, they're eager to get it settled. You know about the recent Jieqing incident; that caused quite a ss.
They fear that if they don't fulfill the promises made to Qiao Ze, the kid might cause another stir. Just now, Sheng also said in the call that this kid is very capable, and quite adept at both construction and destruction. Sigh..."
After finishing, Zhang Mingrui sighed deeply.
In his opinion, Qiao Ze was pretty good in every aspect, except he didn't like to play by the rules. What's more frightening was that he truly had the ability to break them.
For example, regarding Qiao Ze's current interaction with Princeton, it seems that if the kid nodded, the other side might arrange everything perfectly. I wonder if the Xilin University of Technology has seized Qiao Ze's passport.
If this kid really leaves the country, then don't even think about him coming back.
"What do you think?" Zhou Liang asked after a mont of silence.
"Isn't that why I'm discussing it with you? We only have so many slots at the School of Mathematics. If both Qiao Ze and Li Jian Gao take up two spots..."
"Ah, isn't it still early? The recomndation and review won't happen until next year; let's just have an idea in mind for now. This troubleso matter, let's not consider it just yet," Zhou Liang waved his hand, deciding to put aside such burdenso thoughts for the ti being.
"Delaying isn't a solution. The selection may start next year, but when has the competition not already begun? We need to have a stance," Zhang Mingrui shook his head and said.
"What stance can there be? Who knows what Qiao Ze might do in a year's ti. Just wait and see, as long as he's still in Huaxia a year later, who wouldn't handle him with kid gloves? Let's not ntion anything else, the first Fields dal for Huaxia, would they send him away? If because of such a trivial matter, he stops playing ball with us, do you want to be the scapegoat?"
Zhou Liang grumbled with frustration and then pointed to his computer, "Look, just after Princeton launched a research topic, Qiao Ze responded with two problems, don't you understand what that ans? There's no shortage of people willing to pave the way for him, missing you or ?"
Zhang Mingrui nodded, taking comfort in the agreent, "As long as you think so too, that's fine by . But speaking of this matter, shouldn't we also discuss it with Luo and the others, setting up a team focused on research into Qiao Algebra?
