The so-called Fellowship is the full prize in the usual sense. Different from the scholarship, the bursary not only exempts the tuition fee and accommodation fee of the award-winning student, but also gives the award student a certain livelihood fee as a personal consumption expense.

It is precisely because of this that the bursary competition is particularly fierce in the application process. In addition to requiring higher paper grades, foreign applicants are also required to provide a beautiful domestic school transcript, as well as a recommendation letter and reading plan.

For different schools, even different individuals, the amount of the whole prize is different, and even the payment method is divided into one-year payment or monthly or quarterly payment.

The difficulty of applying for the full prize of Princeton is undoubtedly the most stringent of many universities in North America, especially the full prize of the doctoral stage. But for a doctoral student at the Cole Number Award level, there seems to be no problem.

After all, Lu Zhou himself, but qualified enough to write letters of recommendation to others, not to mention his mentor is Pierre Deligne elderly.

Lu Zhou’s bursary includes a tuition-free accommodation fee, a free medical insurance, and a one-off $40,000 bonus.

After the card was issued at the bank next to Princeton University, and the check for the Cole Prize and the check for the Princeton Scholarship were cashed out, Lu Zhou looked at the string of numbers in the balance and felt a sigh of relief.

Others spend a lot of money to study abroad, but they have not spent money on studying abroad, but they have made a fortune.

This feeling is really subtle.

……

After completing the bursary and tuition fees, Lu Zhou was temporarily settled at Princeton University.

For undergraduates, academics are really heavy, but for doctoral students, if they are not too urging by the tutor, they will be more relaxed.

Professor Pierre Deligne has arranged a teaching assistant for him, but the first class is in April and there is still one month left. Lu Zhou even took a few days to go out and went to the nearby town to give the driver’s license.

In addition to Goldberg’s conjecture, this long-term research topic, his current mission is mainly to learn algebraic geometry under the guidance of Professor Pierre Deligne.

Let Lu Zhou to be wild with joy, this old man from Belgium has what he dreams of – the original draft of the late version of Alexander Grothendieck’s old mister, and a doctor of American mathematics who has also studied French. Translated into three-quarters of the English translation.

Unlike the algebraic geometry algebraic geometry (EGA), which has been reclaimed by Alexander Grothendieck in the millennium, the draft program has only been circulated in some mathematics homes, many of which have remained until No one can fully understand today.

Lu Zhou has never been invited by the late Alexander Mister of the Grotesendieck to go to France to find this legacy of the modern algebraic geometry, on the one hand because of the ignorance of French, and on the other hand because of the work of the old mister of Alexander Grothendieck. An in-depth study.

The original manuscript of the “Programme” plus the English translation, for Lu Zhou, can be said to be a big help. Coupled with the personal guidance of Alexander Grothendieck’s high-profile Professor Pierre Deligne, many obscure things have become much easier.

Sure enough, choosing a good mentor can save a lot of time.

In addition to completing the study of algebraic geometry under the guidance of Professor Pierre Deligne, Lu Zhou used almost all of his free time on the Goldbach conjecture.

One time, the inspiration suddenly came. He didn’t even go out for a few days, locked himself in a single room of ten square meters, and conceived how to perfect the theoretical framework, which would originate from the “group structure” of Goldbach’s conjecture. Return to the proposition of Goldbach’s conjecture.

As a result, he did not expect that this retreat was a week and even missed a lecture that should not have been missed.

For this matter, Professor Pierre Deligne also made a special call to ask him what was going on.

However, after learning that Lu Zhou was not in the next door of New York or Philadelphia, but after shutting himself in the room and studying the Goldbach conjecture, Professor Pierre Deligne did not say anything about his absenteeism. Just silent for a while, said in a warning voice.

“The study of mathematics needs to be studied, but professionalism does not mean closing the door. If you feel that your research is in bottleneck, my suggestion is that you can temporarily put the problems you have encountered, go out to play a football, or watch a few Movies… Inspiration requires you to take the initiative to find, rather than waiting for inspiration to find you.”

Lu Zhou: “I will seriously consider your suggestion… Yes, can I take a vacation?”

Pierre Deligne: “How long?”

Lu Zhou thought about it and said, “Two weeks.”

Pierre Deligne: “There is no need to ask me, you can freely arrange your own time. But if there is still no progress in your subject within one year, I will arrange other research work for you. The golden age of studying mathematics is like this. For decades, I won’t watch you spend a whole year on a dead end.”

After that, the old Professor hung up.

Putting down the phone, Lu Zhou was helplessly, and turned the ballpoint pen in his hand.

Is it only one year?

It seems that Professor Pierre Deligne didn’t say anything about it, but in fact he was similar to what Morina thought, and he was not optimistic that he could complete this mission.

But this also shows that the old Professor is concerned about himself. If you change someone, maybe even if you have a desire to change to Hollywood to make a movie, this old mister may not have much reaction.

“You can’t hesitate here, you have to hurry.” Shaking his head, Lu Zhou picked up the pen that he had flew out and began to calculate on the draft paper.

……

Although it is said that it will be seriously considered, the habits that have been developed over the years can not be changed in a short while.

Moreover, Lu Zhou does not think that what is wrong with his habits?

In the mathematics world, there are Chen Jingrun’s old scholars who are thinking about the problem. There are Perherman’s kind of hermits who are rather willing to go out to win the prize, and Kolmogorov’s love of outdoor transportation. “Amateur boxer” (the most famous one was at the Soviet academic conference, because the debate was only violently slamming his own mentor…).

Lu Zhou feels that he is not a lonely researcher. He will also listen to his colleagues’ lectures to broaden his thoughts when necessary, and he will be happy to share his research success with his peers on the stage. But more often, he is still used to shutting down the door and studying alone.

It took a few more days.

On the early morning of Saturday, the sky outside the window was bright.

Lu Zhou, who didn’t know when to fall asleep on the table, had some stiff arms and leaned against the back of the chair.

“Maybe I should have a babysitter…”

I don’t know how the development of robotics in Silicon Valley is now.

If you can, he really wants to customize a set of machines for Xiao AI, so that this person can also use the mentally handicapped to check the use of mail.

For example, will take the courier electronic dog or something.

As for too complicated work, he does not expect it to have that ability.

While thinking about something unrealistic, Lu Zhou rubbed his brows and looked at the dozens of pages of draft paper that had been spread out on the table, and selected a few useless pieces to be thrown into the side. Paper basket.

Feeling a little hungry, he stood up and walked into the kitchen.

The bacon slices and fresh vegetables were taken from the refrigerator, drained after a few passes with boiling water, and the two pieces of thick bread were topped with salad dressing and stuffed into the oven.

It’s a pity that the United States is not cooking here. Occasionally, a barbecue party is also outdoors. This single room, although equipped with a kitchen, has fewer natural gas stoves and range hoods, so that he has a good cooking experience. No use.

Although Lu Zhou also looked for an apartment manager and asked if he could install a range hood and stove in the kitchen, he was looked at with a strange look and refused with the slightest hesitation.

Think about it too, this is a building with many years of 90 history, and there are many famous Scholars. Maybe a few more years from here, a great man, this apartment is just like the Einstein House not far from the neighborhood, and it becomes a museum.

If it is accidentally lost, it is a pity…

For the apartment manager’s statement, Lu Zhou can only express understanding.

Anyway, he mainly went to the diet club to eat, but when he was particularly busy or in the morning, he would use the things in the refrigerator to cope.

After solving the breakfast, Lu Zhou gave herself a cup of coffee, standing next to the refrigerator and sipping slowly, staring at the twitching clock to sort out the previous ideas.

Just then, he suddenly received a call from Senior Brother Luo.

“Hey, aren’t you saying that you want to go to see the car with me today? I am at the school gate, when are you going to leave… Don’t tell me you haven’t got up yet?”

Until then, Lu Zhou realized that she seemed to be retreating for a long time.

(Thanks to the blue sky 202’s alliance lord for the reward! Plus I must make up as soon as possible!… It seems that the debt is getting more and more QAQ)
