There were a few long tables in the bright hall, and on the tables were all kinds of food and wine.
Xun Wen sat on a sofa in the corner of the hall, quietly drinking a glass of wine. To be honest, he didn't like overly lively scenes, as it would make him feel at a loss. He preferred to sit alone and think about some problems.
Especially when he reached level eight in mathematics, as long as he calmed down and thought for a while, he could have some wonderful inspiration for many math problems that he couldn't understand in the past.
He even felt that he could prove Jebov's conjecture on his own without the help of the " inspiration " given by the system, but it would take longer.
However, this indirectly showed that his knowledge level had begun to enter the ranks of the world's top mathematicians. In other words, even if Xun Wen did not have a system, he could still become an accomplished mathematics master.
This was undoubtedly a huge improvement for Xun Wen.
While Xun Wen was drinking quietly, Professor Zou Ming walked over from the crowd and sat down beside him.
" Why don't you talk to the others?" Professor Zou Ming smiled." Maybe you can get some inspiration from their words."”
"I think I'll pass. Thinking alone gives me more inspiration.”Xun Wen swirled his wine glass, and the scarlet liquid emitted a red agate glow under the light.
Moreover, he only knew a few mathematicians, and they were all Chinese or Chinese, such as Tao Zhexuan and Yun Zhiwei, who were standing in the middle of the crowd.
Tao Zhexuan was a genius mathematician with an IQ of 230. He had won the Fields Medal at the age of 31 and had given a speech in the lecture hall of Shuimu University's main building. He had also received a meeting with Chen Li, one of the seven presidents of the country, at the M-Tang Conference.
As for the other Professor Yun Zhiwei, he was also a famous person. He won the gold medal of the 41st International Mathematical Olympiad in high school. Tao Zhexuan also participated in the same year.
In 2016, Yun Zhiwei was hired as a mathematics professor at Yale University. In 2018, he was hired as a professor of mathematics at MIT.
However, at this point, one had to mention the four famous scholars of Yan University. Yun Zhiwei was one of them. However, the four scholars that made Yan University proud were all working outside and were unwilling to return home.
Perhaps everyone had their own aspirations, so Xun Wen didn't want to comment too much.
"Hello, are you Xun Wen?”Just as Xun Wen and Professor Zou Ming were chatting, a blonde beauty walked over with a smile.
Xun Wen looked at her in surprise, then nodded and asked,"May I ask who you are?"”
" You can call me Caroline," the blonde said with a smile." Mind if I sit here?"”
"Please." Xun Wen said.
Professor Zou Ming patted Xun Wen on the shoulder and returned to the crowd with a glass of wine.
"Are you also a mathematician?" Xun Wen asked curiously. Carolyn looked like she was only 20 years old, and her hot body didn't look like a rigorous scholar.
"No, I'm an actor." Carolyn laughed.
？？？
Xun Wen was a little confused. Was the level of the International Congress of Mathematicians so low that even actors were allowed in?
"My uncle is called Perelman." Seeing Xun Wen's surprised expression, Carolyn smiled and said.
Xun Wen's eyes widened, but he suddenly understood. If it was Perelman's niece, it was understandable that she could come in.
As for who Perelman was?
Erm, this big shot was really awesome because he once proved Poincaré's conjecture. This conjecture and Riemann's conjecture were both listed in the world's seven major mathematical problems.
In 2004, the Stekelov Institute of Mathematics recommended him to be elected as an academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, but he rejected it. Not only that, but the following year, he also resigned from all his positions in the institute. And from then on, he disappeared from the world and was hard to find.
And he didn't care about interviews from prestigious magazines like Nature and Science.
He also once said,"I don't think anything I say can arouse any interest of the public, and I don't want to say it because I value my privacy, or that I just want to hide anything I do." There's no top secret here, I just don't think the public is interested in me.”
In August 2006, at the International Mathematical Congress in Madrid, the International Mathematical Union decided to award the Fields Medal to Perelman. However, he chose to refuse this huge honor and refused to receive the one million dollars from the Millennium Mathematics Prize.
When you read this, you might think that he didn't even care about a million dollars. He must have a mine at home, but in fact, it was the opposite.
He was very poor, so poor that he could not even afford to attend the International Congress of Mathematicians. According to the description of a clerk in a Ministores near Perelman's house, he always wore black clothes, had long hair, long nails, and the same food. He always came to the shop at the same time…
His usual lunch consisted of a bag of rye bread, a packet of macaroni, and yogurt from Bifidok and Bifirefly.
Moreover, he rarely bought fruits, alcohol, or other unnecessary things. In short, he only bought simple food that was cheap and easy to make.
Ever since Xun Wen learned about Perelman's deeds, he felt that this man was a " god." However, perhaps only such a stubborn and eccentric person could achieve such great achievements in mathematics.
"Since you're here, Professor Perelman must be here too, right?”Xun Wen said.
" Of course, my uncle didn't plan to participate at first," Carolyn said with a smile." However, I said that I wanted to come and take a look, so he reluctantly agreed.”
Xun Wen nodded and scanned the crowd, but he didn't see Professor Perelman.
"Uncle is studying a thesis in his room and will only attend tomorrow.”Carolyn laughed.
Xun Wen suddenly understood. How could a top-notch mathematics nerd like Perelman attend a cocktail party?
"Are you interested in having dinner with me tomorrow?”Caroline winked at him and said," I can introduce you to my uncle.”
"Of course you can." Xun Wen smiled. He really wanted to get to know Professor Perelman and learn from him. Maybe an in-depth conversation could give him some new inspiration.
After chatting with Carolyn for a while and exchanging name cards, Xun Wen returned to his room and prepared to take a good rest, waiting for the official opening of the conference tomorrow.
(As always, thank you!)
