I Just Want to Be a Quiet Top Student

Mueller's office is more like a conference room.

A round table is placed in the center of the office, and five to six people can sit around it.

The first person to arrive at the office was Shen Qi. He had been in Puda for nearly a month, and he drank coffee as he did as the Romans did.

"I brought this round table from New York." Mu Le chatted with Shen Qi, but the other two members of his research team hadn't arrived yet.

"Really, does it have any special significance?" Shen Qi asked.

"I lived in New York for a while, and I often played Texas Hold'em on this round table." Mueller tapped the table affectionately.

"It is impossible for your poker friends to win your money, unless they are also mathematicians." Shen Qi said, it seems that regardless of China, the United States or Germany, mathematics teachers are all keen on playing poker.

"The stakes are not big, winning or losing will not exceed fifty dollars." Muller recalled the good times, "Shen, you are very famous recently, and you have listened to every math class in the graduate department. You are an energetic person."

"Oh." Shen Qi replied absently, his attention was attracted by a group photo on the wall.

"Elon said that you have a keen sense of judgment in number theory, but the problem is that you have chosen mathematical physics as the main direction, and it is still too late for you to change direction." Muller looked back at the group photo hanging behind his eyes. In the photo, the young This blond boy is what Muller looked like when he was young, very handsome, very much like Nowitzki.

Elon's full name is Elon Linden-Strauss, Israeli mathematician, Fields Medal winner, currently teaching at Princeton.

Universities students are lucky, they often get the guidance of the Philippine award winners.

A few days ago, Shen Qi was fortunate enough to attend a class on number theory taught by Elon Linden-Strauss.

In class, Shen Qi confidently and calmly talked about his views on the measurement rigidity of ergodic theory and its application in number theory, which was praised by Professor Linden-Strauss.

"I won't change it." Shen Qi took a sip of coffee, and finally discovered the mystery in the group photo: "The handsome young guy in the photo is Professor Muller, but this old man seems to be...Mr. Godel?"

"That's right, Kurt is my teacher. This photo of me and him was taken in the 1970s." Muller said with a sigh, the handsome blond boy back then became an old man with white hair, and His teacher Kurt Gödel has been dead for many years.

"So we are the heirs of the Göttingen school?" Shen Qi was a little surprised, Muller did not say that he had studied under Gödel.

"Yes." Mueller nodded.

The University of Göttingen is located in Göttingen, Germany, and the founder of the Göttingen School is Gauss.

Riemann, Dirichlet, and Jacobi, who became synonymous with mathematical formulas, carried forward the legacy of the ancestor Gauss.

In the first half of the 20th century, the world of mathematics was dominated by the Göttingen School.

A group composed of Klein, Hilbert, Minkowski, von Neumann, Courant, Weyl, Gödel, etc. has dominated the mathematics world for half a century.

Gödel, number theory master, Einstein's friend.

At the invitation of Einstein, Gödel came to the United States and became a researcher at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and a professor in the Department of Mathematics at Pudong University.

Einstein was also born at the University of Göttingen and was a member of the Göttingen School.

During and after World War II, most of the Göttingen school's generals fled to the United States, and they took refuge in one place——Princeton.

Famous scholars such as Einstein, von Neumann, Courant, Gödel, and Weyl have all taught or conducted research at Princeton.

After World War II, Princeton was a paradise in the minds of top scholars, and Puda replaced the University of Göttingen as the new "capital of mathematics".

Now Muller told Shen Qi that his teacher was Gödel and his uncle was Einstein.

Shen Qi was quite agitated, coffee spilled on his jeans.

Müller, an old German comrade, is very low-key. Gödel is your master, Einstein is your uncle, and Gauss is your ancestor. Why didn't you say it earlier?

Arranged alphabetically, I, Shen Qi, are also the direct descendants of Gauss, Riemann, Jacobi, Einstein, and Gödel!

I study Gauss' theorem, Riemann surface, Jacobian matrix, relativity theory, Gödel's incompleteness theorem every day, researching and researching, to put it bluntly, it is all internal business of the sect.

Shen Qi counted on his fingers, one, two, three, four... I am the sixth generation descendant of Gauss.

The highest level settings for the system are:

Level 15 (Invincible I'm So Lonely). There is no contemporary mathematician at level 15, and the reference template in history is: Gauss.

Somehow, this was God's will, and Shen Qi respected Mu Le instantly.

In Princeton, there are more than a dozen Philippine Prize winners, and the fifth-generation successor of Gauss is only Muller, and the other fifth-generation successors are no longer alive.

"Professor Muller, please drink coffee." Shen Qi enthusiastically poured coffee for Muller, and he became Muller's disciple by mistake.

Shen Qi does not regret not being a student of Witten at all now. Although the Göttingen School has evolved into a concept and a kind of ideological inheritance in the 21st century, Shen Qi is still pleasantly surprised to become the successor of this school .

"The Göttingen school actually doesn't have any specific technical instructions. When Kurt taught me, it was already Princetonized. It doesn't matter. Mathematics is mathematics, regardless of you or me." Look very lightly, there is a Buddhist element in his character.

"Professor Muller, are you really German?" Shen Qi felt that traditional Germans should not have this mentality.

"My grandmother was French," Muller said, before adding: "My grandfather was Greek."

"Oh, by the way, what will be discussed in today's regular meeting?" Shen Qi asked.

Mueller has a research team, including him and Shen Qi, a total of four people.

Muller convenes the team for two regular meetings every month, and two people are still missing from today's regular meeting.

Shen Qi was a newcomer who dared not be late, so he came to Mueller's office ten minutes earlier and chatted with Mueller for a while.

At five minutes to three, a white man came in, with blond hair and blue eyes, very light blond hair, blond to white. His stature is more than 2 meters tall, with typical Germanic features.

"This is Dr. Jonas Carr, and this is Shen Qi." Mueller introduced Shen Qi to the tall, blond man.

"Hi, I'm from Sweden, you can call me Jonas." Dr. Jonas Karl offered to shake hands with Shen Qi.

"Hi, Jonas, I'm Chinese, you can call me Shen Qi." Shen Qi knew in advance that Professor Muller brought a doctoral student, and this was the first time he met a doctoral fellow from Sweden.

Muller is both a PhD advisor and a master advisor. Both Jonas and Shen Qi are his students. He currently only takes these two students with him, and he has the energy to guide them carefully.

"Hey Jonas, can you graduate next spring?" Mueller asked Jonas.

"Who knows." Jonas poured himself a cup of coffee. This year is his seventh year at Princeton, and Muller came to teach in Princeton four years ago.

Jonas stayed at Puda longer than his mentor Muller.

Jonas, who looked relaxed, was not in a hurry to graduate. He said happily: "Malmo won against Bayern, Alan, and Shen Qi yesterday. Tonight, I will treat you to a drink to celebrate this great moment." .”

"Shen Qi, let's go have a drink with you. I'm not in the mood for Bayern's loss." Muller was not happy. He asked Shen Qi, "Do you like football? Which team do you support?"

Malmö is the football powerhouse of the Swiss Super League, and Bayern is the king of the Bundesliga. In yesterday's Champions League group match, Malmö beat Bayern 2-0, breaking the biggest upset of this round.

Shen Qi said weakly: "For the Chinese team, I support Evergrande. For the Champions League team, I support Manchester United."

"Evergrande is good, but Manchester United is not good." Muller and Jonas said in unison.

"Hehe." Shen Qi smiled, Manchester United will definitely beat you into dogs in the next round.

The three men chat about football, which is more like a tea party than an academic meeting.

At exactly three o'clock, a white woman came in.

She was very punctual and came to the meeting on time. The regular meeting time notified by Mueller was three o'clock.

Different from the three men dressed in casual clothes, this lady was dressed in formal business attire, a black lady suit, black skirt, black stockings, high heels, and a folder in her hand.

"Alan, Jonas, good afternoon." The lady greeted Mueller and Jonas, and her attention was more focused on Shen Qi, the newcomer.

"This beautiful lady is Dr. Marie-Schulz-Schmidt, who graduated from the University of Bonn and is my teaching assistant. This is the new Shen Qi, my graduate student." Muller introduced the lady to Shen Qi.

"Walter?" Shen Qi was taken aback. Dr. Mary-Schulz-Schmidt was not unfamiliar to him at all.

But the blond mature woman in front of her is exactly the same as the red-haired German female doctor on arVix.
