Chapter 387 Professor Gu’s first open class at Preston University

Su Yi was not angry. After all, in Princeton, one could not look at things with the eyes of ordinary people. Perhaps anyone around him was the winner of a certain mathematics award, or had won the Nobel Prize, and there were also many who published papers in SCI journals.

Just as Westerners cannot understand why Orientals have so many delicate thoughts, she also dislikes the overly straightforward character of some Westerners.

Of course, not all Westerners are like this. For example, the little cutie Orlando is very polite.

If Jane Si Ning could find a little angel like Orlando, she would definitely agree with it.

Su Yi didn't know that Orlando was reporting to Princeton at this time.

As exchange students, he and his companions will study at Princeton University for one year.

Tuesday's open class is here in a blink of an eye.

The School of Mathematics has specifically promoted this open class, and any interested student is welcome to attend. There are only a handful of Chinese people who can teach open classes at Princeton University. Zhang Yuan once did it, and now, as a student, she has also done it.

Since solving the Goldbach conjecture, Professor Zhang Yuan has become much more energetic and energetic. He seems to be much younger and more radiant. When he greets people on the street, he always has a smile on his face.

Even Zhang Sibai sent her a message privately, saying that his father's attitude towards him was probably the best in his twenty-plus years of life. He even changed his car without saying a word when he tentatively suggested changing it.

Zhang Sibai even gave Su Yi a set of skin care products to thank her.

"I heard that today's open class will be taught by a young female professor from China..."

"I heard she turned down several offers to enroll at Princeton, but now she's here as a professor. That Chinese girl is amazing!"

"Her teacher is Professor Zhang Yuan, the most powerful mathematician in China!"

…

People kept pouring into the tiered classroom that could accommodate two hundred people. Even Orlando came. On the first day he and his companions arrived, they heard that a very powerful Chinese female professor was coming to Princeton to give an open class.

When he heard someone in the crowd discussing the words "Goldbach's conjecture", he seemed to have some ideas.

But Gu should also be in college, right?

However, when that graceful figure stepped into the lecture hall and walked straight to the podium, Orlando's eyes instantly showed some surprise.

It’s Gu!

He and Gu still kept in touch through emails, but not often. Later, when he learned that she and her teacher had worked together to solve the Goldbach conjecture, he was even more happy for her and sent her his sincere blessings.

Unexpectedly, they would meet again in Princeton!

Although it was an open class, it was obvious that Su Yi was very popular with the title of "Proving the Goldbach Conjecture". The tiered classroom that could accommodate about 200 people was almost full, with only a few scattered seats in the back empty.

The content of the open class is algebraic number theory, which is also Su Yi's strong point.

Su Yi wrote his Chinese name on the blackboard stroke by stroke.

After introducing herself in fluent English, she began to lecture. She had no teaching materials, and everything she wanted to talk about was in her mind. It seemed that there was no structure, but the content was progressive.

Perhaps out of curiosity about her, there were many more people asking questions in the open class than in some other open classes.

Su Yi explained very patiently. Of course, she did not answer questions outside the open class, as it would waste time.

It was not until Su Yi saw Orlando raise his hand that a look of surprise appeared in his eyes, and then his smile became even brighter.

"Professor Gu, what do you think of algebraic number theory?" Orlando looked at her with bright eyes.

The elf-like boy has grown up a lot now, and his facial features have also developed, but his appearance is even better than before. His eye sockets are deep, and his blue eyes are like the blue sky, clear and clean.

"Algebraic number theory tends to study the properties of various integral rings from the perspective of algebraic structures. This field is particularly closely related to algebraic geometry and actually forms part of the theory of commutative algebra. It also includes other profound topics, such as representation theory and p-adic theory..."

Su Yi talked freely, her voice was gentle and infectious, and everyone listened attentively.

Before this, many people attended this open class with a skeptical and tentative attitude, but now, they are all immersed in each other's lectures.

It has to be said that as a world-class university, Princeton University does have a much stronger academic atmosphere than domestic universities. Those who can sit here are all gifted people, but when they find that they are not as good as others in some aspects, the first thing they think of is how to improve their own strength.

Perhaps people will become more realistic after leaving school, but at least here, everyone cares more about the significance of academic theory rather than its practical significance.

China is a developing country. Because of this, it is still relatively backward in some academic research and needs more academic talents to make up for the lack in this area.

It’s a pity that many people are dazzled by the colorful world after leaving school, forget the cultivation of their country, and stay abroad.

The country cannot retain talent, and this is China’s biggest problem at this stage.

The fundamental solution to this problem lies in enhancing the country's overall strength and global status.
