From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Chapter 120 The gap between mathematics and physics is not that big

Next, their subject can be studied as follows. This step of Lin Xiao directly solved the primary problem they are currently facing.

"We've finally reached a stage where we can now formally consider the situation in two-dimensional nonlinear elastodynamic systems."

Cao Chengqing said quite excitedly.

"Yes."

Tang Qing also nodded.

The two professors felt relieved for a while.

Every step of the research on this kind of topic is quite difficult, and any breakthrough can make them excited. After all, it also means that they are getting closer to their goal.

"Then, in the next week, let's start to study the following directions." Tang Qing nodded, "For the next work, the main task is to establish an incompressible elastic dynamic system in the Lagrangian coordinate system, and Given its basic properties, Xiao Huang and Xiao Tang, you two will be responsible for leading your juniors to continue searching literature, and if you have any questions, just come to me."

Xiao Huang Xiaotang is two postdoctoral fellows, and when they heard what their supervisor said, they agreed.

Then Tang Qing looked at Lin Xiao again, and then said with a smile, "Since Lin Xiao joined our research group today, let's go have a meal together, just to use our funds."

Lin Xiao nodded: "Then respect is worse than obedience."

Tang Qing patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said: "Speak very politely, let's study mathematics, there is no need to do this, oh, by the way, you are in our research group, and you can't be wronged, every month I will give you a salary of [-] yuan until the day they solve the problem. In addition, you don’t have to save money when you go to eat, just take the receipt after eating, and I will reimburse you.”

Hearing Tang Qing's words, Lin Xiao couldn't help but be surprised, just drive [-] for a month?

"This...isn't necessary?"

"Hey, how polite are you? I'll take it for you. I'm still worried about how to spend our project funds. You can just send me your bank card number later." Tang Qing decided the matter without any explanation, and then he said: " Alright, let's go now and find a roast duck restaurant nearby, have you ever eaten roast duck in Shangjing?"

"Eat it before."

"Hehe, then go and experience the roast duck near our Beijing University. The taste is guaranteed to be no worse than that of other places."

With that said, Tang Qing pulled Lin Xiao along and took the others to dinner.

In the original plan, Tang Qing didn't plan to invite Lin Xiao to dinner. Even if it was a salary, he planned to pay [-] from the beginning, which was the same level as his graduate students, and [-] for postdoctoral fellows.

Still for that reason, at first he didn't expect that Lin Xiao could provide any help to the project, but now, in terms of mathematical methods, Lin Xiao really brought him a huge surprise, and he showed it casually today, just Solve the problems they are currently facing.

Although the problems Lin Xiao solves are in the category of mathematics and have little to do with physics, what they study in mathematical physics is not to use mathematics to solve them.

From this point of view, as long as they transform the physics problem into a mathematical form, and then give it to Lin Xiaolai to help solve it, how much time will it save them?

Tang Qing suddenly felt that he had dug up a huge treasure.

Then spending 3 yuan a month is not a big deal.

……

Soon, they came to the roast duck restaurant and found a private room. There were nine people in total, so several plates of roast duck were directly served, as well as some other dishes.

As for the wine, I didn’t order anything. After all, Lin Xiao doesn’t drink alcohol, so some drinks are enough. Although Huaguo’s academic circle is not as pure as other circles, and the wine culture is also prevalent, but their small gatherings, If you don't drink, you don't need to drink.

Soon, after eating and drinking, it was time to go back.

"By the way, Lin Xiao, where do you live? Let's see you off."

After eating, Tang Qing's car drove over.

As an academician, he is equipped with a driver and secretary, so Lin Xiao came here in his car just now.

Lin Xiao was not pretentious either, and said, "Then I will trouble you, I live in Yanbei Garden."

"Hehe, don't bother, Yanbei Garden, I used to live there when I was not an academician, but after I was elected as an academician, I changed my place to live, but I miss it a bit, it was a long time ago .”

While talking, the two got into the car again. Tang Qing said, "By the way, are you planning to develop into physics in the future?"

Lin Xiao said: "Mathematics is the main thing, and physics can also be studied."

"Well, if I still have some math and physics topics, I'll come to you for help."

Tang Qing said half-jokingly.

Of course Lin Xiao did not refuse: "It must be no problem, it just so happens that I also learn from you."

"Haha, that's the deal."

Tang Qing clapped his hands and smiled heartily.

"Of course, to be honest, your mathematical talent is really very good. If you can really develop into mathematical physics, you might really be able to come up with some good things. I thought you were studying number theory at the beginning. Our subjects are somewhat different, but today, you brought me a huge surprise."

Lin Xiao smiled and said: "Actually, I feel that the gap between mathematics and physics is not too big. As long as it can be expressed in a mathematical way, the feeling is not much different, right?"

Tang Qing: "..."

Not big?
It seems that it is really not big...

But not too much difference.

Lin Xiao went on to say: "However, looking at it now, probably only some problems in physics can be expressed mathematically."

Tang Qing was too lazy to worry about the big difference between mathematics and physics, and said: "Hehe, that's not necessarily true. Now there are computational chemistry, computational biology, and computational materials science. Aren't they all related to mathematics? Of course Well, what I said is not to let you go to study these things, as well as the mathematical physics I mentioned just now. If other people in our college know that you put pure mathematics aside and come to study applied mathematics, I’m afraid You have to trouble me."

"That's not enough, is it?"

Lin Xiao opened his mouth wide in surprise.

"That's very important."

Tang Qing shook his head, "Those who study mathematics look down on others, and those who study pure mathematics look down on those who study numbers. Who makes pure mathematics harder than other subjects?"

"So they will definitely think that you should study mathematics with peace of mind, such as your number theory, or algebraic geometry. Recently, I have heard of the famous Lin's conjecture in the mathematics world."

Hearing Tang Qing's words, Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel amused. The subject contempt chain is really a kind of dumbfounding thing.

Of course, as far as he is concerned, it is more important to apply what he has learned. To study those more difficult pure mathematical problems is to challenge the limit of wisdom, and to apply mathematics to the research of other disciplines is also to show his own research. Things have a certain practical meaning.

Just like that, the two chatted, and the car drove to the gate of Yanbei Garden.

"Academician Tang, then I'll go back."

"Well, goodbye."

Tang Qing waved his hand and said with a smile: "Then I wish you the best in academics."

"Thank you."
