Even though Lu Zhou didn't understand economics, at a place like Princeton, any subject that was related to mathematics was more or less related to people who studied mathematics.
Especially when it came to economics.
Either a new social production relationship was born, or the scope of human civilization was further expanded. Otherwise, it would be difficult to create new theories through traditional theoretical research methods.
Therefore, in order to produce outstanding research results, mathematics was the only way for modern economists to do it. Even though this was criticized by traditional economists as a game of numbers, it did help solve the problem of countless PhD graduates and employment problems.
In fact, mathematics had been growing wildly in the field of theory for many years. Mathematics was like a bottomless mine for any computational science. Whether or not one could dig out anything valuable from it depended on how scholars in other fields used and improved the mathematical tools tempered from countless problems and integrated them into their own fields of study.
Therefore, even though Lu Zhou wasn't particularly interested in economics, whenever he appeared at the coffee shop on the first floor of the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study at three o 'clock in the afternoon, some economics professors would occasionally take the initiative to talk to him and discuss some mathematics problems with him.
After staying at Princeton for so many years, Lu Zhou had dealt with countless big names in economics.
Not to mention the big names that won the Nobel Prize. Even the editors of top journals like Nature and Science had close relationships with him.
Anyone with a normal IQ would not take the risk of offending such a big shot by blocking the graduation certificate and degree certificate of a master's student …
As for why Lu Zhou wanted to be the corresponding author …
It wasn't that he cared about being the corresponding author, he just didn't want Xiao Tong's supervisor to take advantage of him.
Even though Xiao Tong was still a little worried, since her almighty brother said this, she didn't insist. She asked about her parents and how Lu Zhou was doing. She then reluctantly hung up the phone under the urging of the starving Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou closed his laptop and stretched his back. He took out his phone and ordered takeout. He then opened Xiao Tong's unfinished thesis and began to read it line by line.
"Let me see … It seems to be interesting?"
Even though he didn't know much about the Bewley model, the mathematics part was no different than elementary school mathematics homework.
After all, no matter how complex the model was, it couldn't be more complex and chaotic than the plasma turbulence system. Lu Zhou could even solve the two world-class problems, the Navier – Stokes equation and plasma turbulence model. The Bewley model was nothing compared to him.
If he claimed to be second best in the field of functional analysis, then no one could claim to be first.
However, occasionally thinking about some simple problems was also helpful to his research.
Anyway, the takeout hadn't been delivered yet. Since he had nothing to do, he just treated it as a way to relax.
He held a ballpoint pen in his right hand and placed his left hand on the keyboard. He quickly looked through the information in the attachment. The tip of the pen was like a flying wheel, and it left a series of smooth and neat marks on the paper.
"Even though it's a bit simple, it is a very interesting mathematics problem … Who talked to me like this when I was in Princeton? I don't remember. "
"… Why do I have to use the Lagrange multiplier method to solve every step of the optimization process?" When Lu Zhou was calculating a certain step, his pen paused for a few seconds.
However, it was only for a few seconds.
"I can use the endogenous grid method …" Lu Zhou muttered to himself. He crossed out a line of steps and wrote a new line of calculations.
"The endogenous grid method is a bit more troublesome. If I directly optimize the original mathematical model, I can save at least 20% of the tedious calculations … Maybe 25%."
This kind of problem wasn't even a difficult problem.
The inspiration in Lu Zhou's mind instantly broke through the wall in front of him.
Lu Zhou wrote down the last line of calculations and leaned back in his office chair. He lowered the laptop screen and pointed the front camera at his draft paper.
"Xiao Ai, help me organize this.
"Also, use the Bewley model as a reference and compile a new algorithm for my new model."
Xiao Ai: [Okay ~ Leave it to Xiao Ai! (?? ▽?)]
As fast as Lu Zhou flipped through the pages, Xiao Ai completed the calculation steps in the shortest time possible. He quickly sorted out the entire mathematical model and marked out possible problems or mistakes. He then presented them to Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou glanced at it briefly. After confirming that there were no problems with the marked areas, he nodded at the computer.
The data was quickly uploaded to the quantum computer located underground at the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study. A few seconds after the data transfer was completed, the feedback data was transmitted from the quantum computer.
Xiao Ai: [Algorithm compilation complete! (?????)??】
Xiao Ai: [After comparing 12777 sets of random parameters, the numerical calculation results of the improved mathematical model are basically consistent with the original model. The dispersion is reduced by 13%, and the calculation efficiency is increased by 21%. (^? ^ *)]
He didn't know what the dispersion of the calculated results meant, but the 21% increase in calculation efficiency was basically in line with his expectations.
Speaking of which, using a quantum computer to verify a master's degree thesis is like using a cannon to shoot flies.
Whatever, who cares.
Who asked me to only have one sister?
Not to mention that the electricity bills in Jiangsu Province aren't worth much …
Lu Zhou looked at the computer and continued to give orders.
"Help me edit an email, package the algorithm and mathematical model together and send it over."
Xiao Ai: [Okay, Master! (?????)??】
Lu Zhou suddenly remembered something. He said, "Oh yeah, don't put your emoticons in the email. Just send the email normally."
Xiao Ai: [Σ (っ ° Д °;) っ]
Lu Zhou: "…?"
Even though he didn't know what Xiao Ai was trying to say, Lu Zhou didn't want to ruin his handsome, smart, and reliable image in his sister's mind because of a few emoticons.
Five minutes after the email was sent.
He received a reply from Xiao Tong in his email.
Although the content of the email was very short, to the point that it only had three characters …
【？？？】
When Lu Zhou saw these three question marks, he smirked.
Xiaotong probably didn't expect him to solve such a "difficult" problem in just an hour.
"Speaking of which, it's been an hour, why hasn't my takeout arrived yet?"
Lu Zhou rubbed his stomach and took out his phone. He was about to call the delivery person, but he realized that his takeout had already been signed twenty minutes ago.
The f * ck?
Who took my takeout?
He was so engrossed in solving the problem that he didn't even notice his phone's notification.
While Lu Zhou was muddled, he heard three knocks on his office door. Then, he saw Wang Peng walk in with a takeout box.
"Your braised chicken and rice." Wang Peng placed the takeout box on the table and sighed. He said, "Can we talk? I'll buy you whatever you want to eat. Can we stop ordering takeout in the future? It's just making our job harder. "
"It's easy to get hungry." Lu Zhou reached out and took out the takeout box. He smiled and said, "Speaking of which, how come you were the one who delivered it?"
Wang Peng: "It's safer for me to deliver it."
Lu Zhou: "So you're saying my safety level has increased?"
Wang Peng hesitated for a second and nodded.
"Yeah."
There was no need to hide such a thing.
Just like when the controllable fusion research entered a critical stage, the local military directly transferred a company to be responsible for the security of his residence. It wasn't until the Pangu fusion reactor was connected to the power grid that the security went back to normal.
Even though the current situation wasn't as serious as it was during the controllable fusion research, carbon-based chips were still related to the future of China's semiconductor industry, so it was better to be careful.
When Lu Zhou heard Wang Peng's "yeah", he stopped moving his chopsticks and looked at Wang Peng.
Lu Zhou coughed and spoke while Wang Peng was a little confused.
"… You didn't do something like … tasting it, right?"
Lu Zhou wasn't a germaphobe, but he was a bit of a germaphobe …
He didn't care if it was on the dining table, but he couldn't eat food that had been touched by others.
"How is that possible?!" Wang Peng was stunned by Lu Zhou's words. He coughed twice and said, "What era is this, there's no such thing as testing food. But you don't have to worry about hygiene. Doctor Yan did a simple test, so there's definitely no problem with hygiene. "
Lu Zhou: "…"
MMP！
So he took my takeout and did a test, I was wondering why it was so slow!
I almost gave him a bad review.
However, when Lu Zhou heard Wang Peng's explanation, he was even more confused.
Doctor Yan actually did it before it was delivered …
This guy has a criminal record …
Lu Zhou still remembered that this guy secretly drank his coke a year ago.
No, it was Ming Qiang who drank it.
Lu Zhou looked at the takeout and began to think.
Should I eat it or not?
