Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

In the evening, as is customary, after the first day of the academic conference, the American Mathematical Institute hosted a dinner at a hotel next to Berkeley.

For the mathematics community, academic conferences and the banquet after the awards ceremony are almost the main ways for these scholars to get in touch and communicate with their peers.

However, this kind of academic conference for young scholars, unless you see a paper of particular interest, or a lot of the bosses don't come all the way here. If it hadn't been for the road, most of the boats wouldn't have come here to show their faces.

And that's exactly why only a few of the big men seem to be more "hands-on.”

Although the ark entered with a low profile and deliberately chose the side door of the ballroom, after entering the ballroom, the person he spoke to was one after the other, leaving him with little leisure time.

As for his little apprentice, he also tended to follow behind him, looking nervously around, seemingly not very good at such occasions.

Even if the Ark has advised her many times, such a banquet would be a good opportunity to expand her connections, and she should communicate more with people than with herself, as almost no one would notice her presence next to herself.

However, the little girl did not listen to him.

Eventually, the Ark had to give up persuasion and let her go.

Honestly, he's never seen such a cowardly, frightened hairy person.

Looks like there's a long way to go to train her to be a brilliant scholar.

The banquet was halfway through and the dance floor sounded elegant music.

With the music playing, the population density in the ballroom finally began to shift to the dance floor, and the ark finally broke out of successive greetings.

A piece of champagne was taken from the long table and the ark went to the sitting area on the edge of the ballroom to sit down.

Just as he was about to listen to the music and enjoy this brief moment of leisure, an American girl with long natural waves and long hair and tall body came over and took the courage to talk to him.

“Hello, Professor Lu, my name is Hannah. Nice to meet you. ”

"Hello, Miss Hannah, what can I do for you? ”

Hannah: “It's not particularly difficult for you… can I sit across from you? ”

“Absolutely.” The Ark looked at her with some confusion and did not understand what she wanted to do.

“Well, I'm very interested in mathematical physics, and I'm going to take a mathematical physics major at Stanford University next year," Hannah said with some embarrassment looking at the ark, "I've always admired your story and didn't expect to have the chance to touch you at this evening... could you write me a recommendation? ”

That's it.

For overseas professors, writing a letter of recommendation is certainly not difficult, and many professors have to write dozens of copies at the end of each term. Though not everyone will give it, they will generally give it to you in person.

“Sure, but it's not that easy to get my letter of recommendation. I can give you a chance, but it's up to you,” Ark laughs, responds to her gaze, and says with a quick kiss, "So, are you ready? ”

I don't know if it's because of the context, or if he's got some deviations in the English language that caused Miss Hannah to sit across from him to create some strange brain cavities. So much so that after hearing him, her brain instantly crashed for a few seconds.

“Eh?” Hannah stood there for a while, and after returning to God, her cheeks suddenly floated with an unknown red cloud, her eyes panicking and hiding, “But I... I, okay. ”

Take a deep breath and she calms down.

Staring down at the desktop, Miss Hannah gently bit her lower lip and whispered.

“I… am ready. ”

Although she is a professor, she is about her age and not too psychologically burdensome. Besides, this seemingly harmless, aggressive man is quite appetizing to her.

But it's too straightforward.

Although she doesn't dislike this straight ball...

“OK, looks like you're ready,” Nodded the satisfied spot, and the ark looked at Vera sitting next to him, with the same face stuck there, and said, "Vera, give her a quiz on my question of the recurrence function. Don't be too hard to remember, it's probably enough for a subject at the undergraduate level. ”

Vera: …?

Hannah:?

……

The mathematical physics is based on the variable function and the bias differential equation, but the latter is still too difficult for undergraduates who have not yet started their master's studies, and it is relatively reasonable to choose the topic of the transformation for examination.

Although the attitude of overseas professors towards the letter of recommendation is “I'll basically give it to you as long as your attitude is sincere", the Ark feels that as a master in the field of mathematics, it has to be a bit of its own.

It's not that easy to get his letter of recommendation.

If you're not familiar, then do the talking!

Even though she was blushing, it was the instructor's order, and Vera did it nicely.

Since there was no paper or pen in the ballroom, she went to the hotel lobby with Miss Hannah, who was still blushing.

Finally, there was no one around, and the ark leaned comfortably against the chair.

Yet it seemed that God was doomed not to let him relax, and the two girls had just left, and Mr. Francis, president of the American Mathematics Institute, came with a man in a suit.

“Hello Professor Lu, we meet again.” Mr. Francis, with a white beard, walked over and smiled amicably at the ark.

The first Princeton presentation was his award to the Ark for Best Youth Reporter, as well as a $10,000 prize. Although there is not much communication between the two academics, the relationship in private is good.

The ark rose and shook his hand, then looked at the man beside him who looked plain.

I always thought this one was familiar, but I didn't know who it was.

“Long time no see... Who is this? ”

Mr. Francis smiled and said, “Allow me to introduce you, Mr. Elon Musk. ”

Elon Musk?

This time the ark was really surprised.

I'm not surprised by the big man's name, but I can't figure out why he's here.

“Nice to meet you, Professor Lu.” Looking at the canoe, Musk said with a smile, "Although this is the first time we've met, I've heard your fame for a long time. ”

The boat looked at him unexpectedly and shook his hand.

“Hello, it was nice to meet you, too. ”

Speaking of Elon Musk, he's also a terrible cowman.

Less than a year after receiving his Bachelor of Science degree in Economics from the University of Pennsylvania, he earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Physics across fields.

Turning to '95, out of a passion for science, he continued to pursue his PhD in Materials and Applied Physics at Stanford University.

However, perhaps because his status as a schoolmaster was no longer satisfactory, he spent only two days at Stanford University, choosing to leave the campus and go to Silicon Valley.

As for what happened later, a lot of people probably knew. Less than a decade later, as the founder of SpaceX, Tesla and PayPal, he became a legend in Silicon Valley under his own name.

Whether it's online payment technology, new energy cars, or the ambitious Falcon 9 Rocket and the Mars Colonial Program, he explains to the world in action, what's a real technology company, what's technology changing the world.

And of course, the technology here refers mainly to the technical aspects.

In this regard, he and the Ark are probably two distinct categories of people. Leaving aside the identity of corporate president and scholar, he is more like an engineer, while the ark is a scholar.

An inappropriate metaphor, the difference between the two, is probably similar to “Mr. Iron Man” and “Mr. Wonder” in Marvel.

And that's why the Ark is a little confused, why he's here.

He never heard of it in mathematics.

As if to see the confusion of the ark, Mr. Francis said with a smile: "Mr. Musk is the sponsor of this academic conference. I heard you were here, and he came all the way from Palo Ordo. ”

The Ark looked at him and asked unexpectedly: "Is Mr. Musk interested in mathematics, too? ”

“Of course, science is inseparable from mathematics, and although my research into mathematics is not as in-depth as my research into physics, I admire mathematicians. Because when I was studying for a degree in physics in Pennsylvania, the headache was not physics, but mathematics. ”

Looking at the ark, Musk laughed and said something that surprised him.

“But I'm more interested in you than in math. ”

Ark: …?
