Professor Ma was slightly taken aback. He did not expect that the request made by a senior like him would be rejected by a junior.
Even though Professor Ma still had a smile on his face, it was obvious that he was a bit colder.
Professor Ma's tone was a bit unhappy as he said, "What? Are you worried that I'm old and can't keep up with you? Or do you think it's necessary for me to covet the knowledge in your stomach? "
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Of course not, it's just a personal habit."
Professor Ma stared at Lu Zhou for a while before he smirked and said, "Oh, Jin Ling University's juniors sure are promising. Alright then, it's fine if you're not interested. I'm an old man, so I won't waste your time. Take care. "
The old man inexplicably said, "You're on your own." Then he turned around and left.
Wei Siyang was in a dilemma. Although he wanted to make friends with Lu Zhou, he did not dare to offend his professor. He hesitated for two seconds and did not dare to say anything to Lu Zhou. Instead, he followed behind the old professor.
Lu Zhou looked at Professor Ma's back and was stunned.
He did not know if it was an illusion, but he felt like the old professor was a bit unhappy after being rejected.
This is weird, there are actually people in this world who are so good at teaching others, to the point where they are "unhappy if I don't give you a few pointers".
He's so passionate about education.
Lu Zhou looked at Professor Ma 'an's back and gave him a thumbs-up in his heart.
…
The next day, the 12th China Mathematics Society's 80th anniversary conference officially kicked off.
Inside the auditorium of Capital Normal University, there was a sea of people. At a glance, the red carpet was packed with people.
The conference had not even started yet, but everyone was already bragging.
There was a big difference between academic conferences in China and overseas, but there were some things that were similar. Academic exchange was only a secondary purpose of attending this conference. The most important thing was to make more friends.
Unfortunately, before the conference officially started, Lu Zhou had already offended a "big shot".
Even though he felt that his rejection was rather tactful back then …
Maybe he should change to a white lie and pretend that he did not know anything about the Polignac conjecture?
Lu Zhou followed Academician Lu into the venue and went to the toilet. When he came back, he did not see the old academician.
After walking around the venue, he still couldn't find the old man, but he did find his senior brother.
When he found this Senior Brother, he was chatting with a bespectacled man who looked a little fat.
Lu Zhou walked up and was about to say hello, but Senior Brother Yan noticed him first. He warmly greeted him and introduced him with a smile.
"Come, let me introduce you to Professor Yang Zhiguang, an outstanding alumnus of the University of Jin Ling!"
Upon hearing this name, Lu Zhou was slightly taken aback at first, but then immediately became respectful, "Greetings, Senior Brother Yang!"
This Yang Zhiguang was amazing. Lu Zhou had seen his name on the University of Jin Ling's alumni wall before.
He graduated from the University of Jin Ling in 1986, received his master's degree from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1989, and went to study at the University of Augsburg in Germany. After receiving his PhD, he did two years of scientific research at the Technical University of Munich.
He returned to China in 1994 and worked at the Institute of Mathematics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He was later selected for the "Hundred People Program" of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and won major awards such as the "Feng Kang Scientific Computing Award" and the "National Natural Science Award".
Of course, the most impressive thing was that he gave a 45-minute report at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Spain in 2006.
At the same time, he was also the only person from the mainland to give a 45-minute report at the conference!
With these qualifications, he would definitely be an academician for the next 17 years!
However, because of their different fields of research, Lu Zhou did not know much about his research. He only knew that Yang Zhiguang was doing numerical analysis and scientific computing.
Yang Zhiguang's research direction was not pure mathematics. It was more in the field of applied mathematics, which was closely related to engineering.
Lu Zhou was not surprised to see Yang Zhiguang here.
However, what he did not expect was that Yang Zhiguang was so young that he looked like he was born in the 80s. If Yang Zhiguang did not introduce Yang Zhiguang, he would not have known that this "chubby guy" was almost 50 years old.
On the other hand, Yang Zhiguang was only 30 years old, but his hairline was already a bit dangerous …
"Hello, hello." Yang Zhiguang smiled and shook Lu Zhou's hand. He said enthusiastically, "We were just talking about your glorious achievements. I didn't expect to meet you in person. It's my pleasure to meet you!"
Lu Zhou smiled and said humbly, "I don't have any glorious achievements. Your research results are all visible and beneficial to the country and the people. My research is all theoretical and not worth mentioning!"
After a round of pleasantries, Yang Zhiguang, who was in physics, could not get a word in.
Yang Zhiguang held Lu Zhou's hand and said humbly, "Brother, don't belittle yourself. Your computational materials science thesis is a textbook example. It filled the gap in our country's computational materials science! How is it not beneficial to the country and the people? Professor Liu from the Institute of Polymer Materials of the Chinese Academy of Sciences greatly admires your results! Every time I talk to him about you, he praises your work. You built a bridge between materials science and mathematics and ignited the spark of computational materials science. Not to mention number theory. Even international masters have praised you. "
F * ck me, this is too much!
It's just a computational materials science thesis. How is it filling the gap?
Lu Zhou was a bit flustered and did not know what to say.
Fortunately, Professor Lu arrived in time and helped him out.
"Alright, stop boasting, you two. I can't stand it anymore!"
Yang Zhiguang turned around and saw Professor Lu. He smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm not bragging, I'm telling the truth."
Although he was almost fifty years old, in front of Professor Lu, who was in his seventies, he was still considered a junior.
Not to mention, he had attended this senior's physics class.
The teacher and student met and reminisced.
Professor Lu looked at his former student and nodded with satisfaction. He then smiled and said, "In two years, you'll be an academician, right?"
Yang Zhiguang smiled modestly and said, "I'm not sure yet, I'll follow the organization's arrangement."
"Okay then, I'll wait for the organization's arrangement. I won't ask anymore. The University of Jin Ling's mathematics department doesn't have many powerful people. You were one of the students that graduated in the 1980s. Ten years later, you're the only one, "said Professor Lu as he patted Lu Zhou's shoulder. He then smiled and said," You two work hard. The future of the country depends on you young people. "
Yan Xinjue, who did not have a chance to interrupt, finally found an opportunity to interrupt.
"Boss, what about me?"
"You?" said Professor Lu. He looked at him and said, "You … work hard."
Yan Xinjue: "…?"
It was supposed to be a serious topic, but Professor Lu's expression was so funny that Lu Zhou almost laughed out loud.
…
It was soon nine o 'clock and the opening ceremony of the conference officially began.
Academician Wang Shicheng, the chairman of the China Mathematical Society, walked onto the podium and gave an opening speech.
Then, the chairman of the International Mathematical Union, Sen Chongwen, Secretary General Herge Horton, Chinese mathematician Qiu Chengtong, and other international mathematicians went on stage and gave a "birthday" speech for the 80th birthday of the China Mathematical Society.
From the War of Resistance Against Japan to the founding of the country, these scholars who were engaged in basic scientific research had lived in bomb shelters and slept in cowsheds. They had gone through ups and downs and finally made it to where they were today.
Academician Wen Lan, the chairman of the ninth board of directors, used the phrase "Never forget your original intention" as a closing speech. She announced the opening of the conference amidst the applause.
At the end of the opening ceremony was the highlight of the conference, the awarding of the Hua Luogeng Mathematics Award and the Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Award!
The former was for old professors over 50 years old while the latter was for young scholars under 50 years old. Each year, two people would be selected.
Although a hundred thousand yuan was not a lot, it was just a token of appreciation, but it was especially meaningful.
Especially the Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Award, it was regarded as a Fields Award in China.
The winners of the Hua Luogeng Prize were Academician Lin from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Academician Liu from Sichuan University. They were awarded for their outstanding contributions in computational mathematics, topology, and fuzzy mathematics. It could be said that there was no suspense.
Soon, it was the most exciting moment.
In the applause, Qiu Chengtong smiled and shook hands with Academician Wang Shicheng. He then took the microphone from Academician Wang Shicheng's hand.
The Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Award for young scholars would be awarded by this old man.
The applause gradually subsided.
The old man cleared his throat and spoke slowly.
"The first winner is Professor Yang Zhiguang from the Institute of Mathematics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The main scientific research results are the systematic research on the perfect matching layer method (PML) for wave scattering problems, as well as the wave source transfer region splitting algorithm for the high-frequency Helmholtz equation. It also established the mathematical foundation for the famous Peaceman well model in the engineering world … "
"As for the second winner …"
Old Qiu flipped to the next page of his speech. He pushed his glasses and smiled.
