Chapter 405: Sharp Tools Are the Key to Good Work August was a busy month. Xu Qingzhou occasionally visited Professor Roberts to ask questions about complex functions. That’s what having a mentor is all about. As a top mathematician who has been studying mathematics for decades, Professor Roberts exudes two words: experience. Explain clearly and in simple terms. Xu Qingzhou stayed in the office for about two hours and already felt that he had benefited a lot. Seeing Xu Qingzhou was about to leave, Professor Roberts stood up and went to the bookshelf on the right to search, "Here is some information that I think you will be interested in." office. After a while, he took out a stack of manuscript paper. "This is Lars Alfors's research manuscript on complex functions. Of course, it's a copy. I put the original manuscript in the library."
"Thank you, Professor." Xu Qingzhou was a little surprised and thanked him. Lars Alfors, a master of mathematics and winner of the first Fields Medal, won the Wolf Prize in Mathematics in 1982. He has guided the development in the field of complex function analysis for more than half a century and has also made outstanding achievements in Riemann surfaces and analytic functions. Such manuscripts are quite valuable, and some are research results that have not yet been published. "If you want to see his other manuscripts, I recommend you go to our neighbor Harvard University," Professor Roberts said with a smile. Xu Qingzhou nodded. Lars Alfors taught at Harvard University for most of his life until his retirement. Sadly, this great mathematician passed away in the 1990s. Whether in Xia Country or abroad, the mathematics community is truly a circle, and people from mathematics, economics, physics, biology, chemistry, etc. are in this circle. No matter what field you are in, being the best requires talent. There are only a handful of people at the top of the pyramid, so everyone knows them more or less. Xu Qingzhou also told Professor Roberts about his work in particle physics. “Particle physics.” Roberts nodded slightly, supporting Xu Qingzhou's decision to collaborate with others to study pentaquarks. "The beauty of mathematics lies not only in the rigor and harmony of its internal logic, but also in its ability to bridge the gap between theory and practice. By applying complex mathematical models to practical problems, we can reveal the deep laws of nature." Of course, in addition to the above reason, he felt that Xu Qingzhou’s current research content was too difficult and the chance of success was slim, so it would be a good idea to start developing other fields now. "By the way, I have already fought for you. Go fill out the project application report. If nothing goes wrong, there will be some project funding." Professor Roberts thought about the important matter again. Xu Qingzhou nodded: "Okay, I'll submit the report as soon as possible." If you have money, take it. Don’t miss it. January.
Boston is located in the northeastern United States and has a temperate maritime climate. The temperature in September is quite nice and cool. At Harvard Business School, Song Yao and a short-haired girl walked out of the teaching building. This person was Kelly. Kelly asked, "There's an Italian restaurant outside the school. Do you want to try it?" "Sorry, I can't today. I have to go home." Song Yao shook her head. She had a boyfriend who deserved a beating waiting for her at home. "Going back to be with your boyfriend?" "Yes." "Xu Qingzhou is a legendary and mysterious man." Kelly was amazed at the man who solved three world-class mathematical conjectures. "I'm curious about your story. I think it must be very romantic." Xu Qingzhou was legendary, and Song Yao beside her was also amazing. It could be said that she was one of the smartest women she had ever met. After all, this was a student that even Professor Morton praised highly. Two proud men, both born with a lot of talent, how could such people come together? The lady from France has already fantasized about many romantic encounters. "He and I were high school classmates. The story began when," Song Yao thought for a moment and said, "he went to the cafeteria and had no money on his meal card, so he asked me to borrow my meal card, and that's how we met." "That's all?" Kelly was a little surprised, as she had originally thought it was some touching love story. Song Yao nodded slightly. If you think about it this way, her story with Xu Qingzhou really did originate from borrowing a meal card. Other boys were very cautious in front of her, except this guy. Or maybe this guy is just thick-skinned. Song Yao came back to her senses and invited Kelly: "This weekend, if you have time, you can come to our place. Xu Qingzhou is very good at cooking Sichuan cuisine." "I'm looking forward to it!" When Song Yao got home, she saw Xu Qingzhou concentrating on calculations. "Without me, you'd be a huge nerd." Song Yao complained while putting things down. His hair was messy and he had dark circles under his eyes. He looked like he hadn't been out for several days. Oh, yeah, it’s not like, this guy just hasn’t gone out for a few days. She walked over and ruffled Xu Qingzhou's hair, "Xu Qingzhou, I really dislike you." "Five minutes." Xu Qingzhou took a deep breath and said. The Riemann hypothesis, the second proposition inequality of the Landau-Siegel zero, is a little difficult. This inequality describes the number or distribution characteristics of prime numbers in a specific interval. "Okay, wait until I change my clothes and come out. If you're still sitting here, hehe~" Two minutes passed. Hearing the footsteps, Xu Qingzhou was startled and ran into the bedroom happily. Song Yao shook her head helplessly, waiting for Xu Qingzhou, and took out her phone to read what secrets of conquering a boyfriend Ding Jiahui shared on dy. Girl: "Baby, do you want to mop the floor or walk the dog?"
Boy (thinking): "Walking the dog." The boy came back from walking the dog. Girl: "Do you want to mop the floor or wash the dishes?" Boy (thinking): "Mop the floor." A little while longer. Girl: "Do you want to wash the dishes or hang the laundry?" Boy (thinking): "Wash the dishes." Song Yao pursed her lips. Xu Qingzhou was a very smart guy. This trick was definitely useless. However, she summed up a truth: if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. Maybe, try something else? "Your smile is a little strange." Xu Qingzhou changed into a sports suit and came out. "You're wrong." Song Yao put away her phone and stood up calmly. At four o'clock in the afternoon, the two had changed their equipment and went out for a run. Song Yao turned around to look at her boyfriend who looked tired and said, "You should exercise more. You just stay at home all day." "Yes, I need to strengthen my kidneys and body." Xu Qingzhou shook his arms and felt too tired these days. "Ha~" Song Yao chuckled twice. "Song Yao, your two words 'hehe' are very insulting." "Then what" "You're finished tonight." Xu Qingzhou said viciously. Song Yao said calmly, "I'm so scared." "." Xu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes and said, Song Yao, ah Song Yao, you must pay for what you have done. The apartment is right next to the Charles River, which is a great place for jogging. The two people started from Knowledge & Libraryservices (library), walked west along the South Bank, passed Boston University, and ended at the Harvard Bridge, about 5 kilometers. Jogging along the river, you can smell the faint scent of mud algae, which is a good experience. Xu Qingzhou and Song Yao turned back from the Harvard Bridge and ran another two kilometers before finding a spacious place to stretch. (End of this chapter)
