The unparalleled talent of the country started from Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 61, Topology and Space Vectors, Depressed Tao Fangqi

In Beijing, at the Institute of Mathematics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Tao Fangqi walked into the office with a face full of joy. Seeing Chen Jingrun, Yang Le and the others there, he couldn't help but grin and said happily:

"Lao Chen, Lao Yang, can you guess what these are in my hands? Haha, you definitely don't know, right? I went to Northeast China again this time, and this is the paper manuscript that math genius gave me. Let me tell you."

Tao Fangqi was indeed very happy and excited, because the two papers Wang Duoyu gave him were both related to space vectors. One was "Mathematical Models Described from the Perspective of Order Structure and Lattice Topology Using Spatial Relationships", and the other was "Methods for Solving Eigenvectors of Matrices on Distribution Lattice".

The role of space vectors in topology is mainly reflected in their topological interest and manifold characteristics. Topology plays an important role in mathematics. It is an important branch of modern mathematics. It studies some properties of geometric figures or spaces that remain unchanged after continuous changes in shape, which makes it occupy a unique position in geometry.

Although Wang Duoyu did not continue to delve into research on differential equations, these two papers allowed Tao Fangqi to realize that his talent in topology and other areas was indeed far beyond that of ordinary geniuses.

If Wang Duoyu had only studied miscellaneous subjects and his thesis was not in-depth enough, Tao Fangqi would not have been so excited. The key point is that he was able to do so well without the guidance of any outstanding teachers. It is conceivable that if he really came to the Institute of Mathematics, his achievements might have been even greater.

"Congratulations, you got what you wanted, didn't you? Didn't that genius come with you?" Chen Jingrun said with a laugh. He could be considered very proud of himself now. After all, he was now a researcher at the Institute of Mathematics, and his status was incomparable to before.

It is not easy to be promoted as a researcher at the Institute of Mathematics. None of the researchers in the office are fakes; all of them have real talents and skills.

Chen Jingrun completed the proof of '1+2' in . This paper alone was enough to establish his position in the Institute of Mathematics.

Tao Fangqi's face froze when he heard this, and he said depressedly, "He didn't come with me. By the way, is my teacher in the office?"

Hua Luogeng is now a leader in China's mathematics community. Since returning to work two years ago, he has become increasingly busy, so most of the time he is not necessarily in the office.

"Yes, you can go directly over." Yang Le responded, and Tao Fangqi took the paper and left. Zhang Guanghou was still reading the paper, and immediately muttered in dissatisfaction.

The two papers written by Wang Duoyu were indeed very rigorous and of great value, but unfortunately he had only read them for a while and had not finished reading them yet. He was just taking paper and pen to start checking the calculations when Tao Fangqi took the papers away. It was really too much.

Zhang Guanghou is currently only an associate researcher at the Institute of Mathematics, and his rank is not as high as Tao Fangqi's. After all, the latter's teacher is Hua Luogeng.
Although Hua Luogeng was very busy as the director of the Institute of Mathematics, he not only served as the vice president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but also the director of the Institute of Computational Mathematics. He also served as the vice president of USTC and the head of the Department of Mathematics. He had many positions.

However, even so, Hua Luogeng still did a good job in teaching. Tao Fangqi was one of his disciples. Although he was not as good as Chen Jingrun, Wan Zhexian, Gong Sheng and other classmates, Tao Fangqi was not bad either.

However, to be precise, Zhang Guanghou's teacher was Xiong Qinglai, who was a fellow student of Hua Luogeng. In other words, Tao Fangqi had to call him uncle.

"Old Zhang, what's wrong with you? Is that paper really that good?" Yang Le was very optimistic. Although he was two years younger than Zhang Guanghou, the latter aged faster. In the original time and space, Yang Le lived to 2023, but Zhang Guanghou died in 1987.

"Of course it's very good. Although I don't study topology and space vectors, I can see that this paper is very good." Zhang Guanghou curled his lips. This is his personality, very persistent. Once, he saw a paper about loss value and thought it would be useful for his research work, so he read it over and over again. The paper had a total of more than 20 pages, and he read it over and over again for more than half a year, leaving a very obvious black mark on the white pages.

So his wife jokingly told him that this was not studying, it was simply "eating books".

Yang Le immediately responded, "Lao Tao just mentioned the topic of the paper, so what are you still looking at? We are all working on the value distribution theory of entire functions and meromorphic functions. Forget about topology. We are not Brother Hua."

Even in the history of mathematics, Hua Luogeng's mathematical level can be ranked among the top 100. He is a world-recognized master of mathematics. People like Yang Le and Zhang Guanghou certainly cannot match him.

The depressed Zhang Guanghou didn't say anything, but he remembered the name Wang Duoyu.

On the other side, in Hua Luogeng's office, Tao Fangqi knocked on the door and came in, and tried his best to recommend it to his teacher. Although Hua Luogeng, who was already 68 years old and in good spirits, lowered his head after taking the paper manuscript, and seemed not to listen to what his student said.

After a long while, Hua Luogeng took off his glasses, rubbed them, and said:
"The paper is very well written. Although I haven't finished reading it yet, it is indeed a good candidate. By the way, what did you say just now?"

Tao Fang stood up and said:

"Teacher, this student doesn't want to come to Beijing. Even when two admissions officers from Peking University invited him to study there, he refused on the spot. He's very close to the military. I heard from Staff Officer Lin that he assisted them in the design and development of a firearm."

"He made a request to me at the time, saying he didn't want to be bound by our mathematics and was only willing to serve as a 'part-time intern researcher', not a full-time one."

"To be honest, teacher, in all my life, this is the first time I've seen a student with such a high talent for mathematics. I really hope he can come to our mathematics institute. It would be even better if he could come and listen to your teachings."

Upon hearing this, Hua Luogeng looked at his student in surprise. "Are you sure this is what he wants? Why doesn't he want to come to Beijing? Is there anything wrong with Beijing? Is there anyone who can refuse Peking University now?"

Although Hua Luogeng only graduated from junior high school, and was later transferred to the Tsinghua University Library by Xiong Qinglai, the director of the Department of Mathematics at Tsinghua University, and later worked as an assistant in the Department of Mathematics, Peking University still has a very high status in the hearts of the Chinese people.

"Yes, teacher. I'm not sure of the specific reason, but he did say he prefers Harbin Institute of Technology and would rather go to schools like the National University of Defense Technology." Tao Fangqi became even more depressed. "Teacher, should we agree to his request?"

PS: Guys, you guys are awesome! You guys finished it in 506 minutes? It's 600 now, do you dare to make it ? I'll update it again!!!
