Manhattan Reborn 1978

First floor of Flintstone Library.

David put down the phone.

He rubbed his temples with both hands, recalling the previous telephone communication with the principal in his mind, and wrote down some key points that needed to be recorded in his notebook.

They made a preliminary discussion on some issues of the research center.

The general aspects include that after the establishment of the future center, the da group needs to arrange center managers to provide a series of feasible, developable, and clear research significance in data science research projects and research directions.

and shares these findings with Princeton University.

Princeton University will provide researchers, a small amount of funds, and all reference information.

And actively cooperate with the da group on data science research projects and information that need to be kept confidential.

and also.

This involves cutting-edge research information that needs to be kept confidential. After obtaining, screening, and analyzing, how should their destination be arranged?

So building a huge database will be one of the priorities of the data research center in the next few years and decades.

Princeton University has a computer science department, and the school will send people to help the center build this database. At the same time, they will also practice some of their ideas and theories during this period.

Um. .

Let’s use an inappropriate analogy.

The data science research center planned by David is like a club he opened to play script killing.

He will set up all the scenarios, plot, background and determine the final winning conditions.

Princeton University is like a team of problem solvers who bring their own funds, equipment and teammates. They need to enter the venue, understand the information, solve each problem and level, and finally achieve the winning conditions.

So in this complete process.

da Group has obtained the algorithms, formulas, tools, and products derived from the most desired data science research.

Princeton University can solve some of the employment problems of graduates.

Find new theoretical research directions in data science, as well as all experiences, materials and information in its practical application.

This allows Princeton University to lead all universities in the world in terms of progress in data science research.

This is undoubtedly a great honor, and it also provides a great advantage!

Both parties achieved a win-win situation!Everyone got the results they wanted most.

In terms of investment, Da Group will invest 50 U.S. dollars next month as the start-up capital of the center.

The principal thought about it and said that he needed to discuss the whole matter with the school board, but it shouldn't be a big problem.

The principal also asked about the current development status of Davida Group.

David briefly introduced the company's situation on the phone.

Overall, the principal was very satisfied with David's candor.

However, he is somewhat worried about the financial capabilities of the Da Group.

David said that he will not be short of money next year.

The principal said we will wait and see!

Then the two agreed on a time, and the principal asked David to wait for his call. If he got the result, he would be notified as soon as possible.

David gave the other party his home and company office phone numbers.

A little further away, Martin, who had been waiting, looked at David, who had put down the phone.

He sighed inwardly, having listened with his ears open the entire time.

Not far behind Martin, Mr. and Mrs. Nash walked over.

Both looked at Martin.

"David has finished talking to the principal? How was it?"

Martin smiled and nodded: "Let's ask him about the specific situation. The students I have asked for interviews will soon arrive."

The three of them walked towards David, who was still writing and drawing in his notebook.

When he raised his head, Martin said to him: "I will arrange for the students who come for the interview to come to the small garden in front of the library. Wait a moment. You can wait for us there."

Then he strode away. .

David looked at his back and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

This is already the third time, right?

I wonder if Martin will walk [-] steps today?

Mr. and Mrs. Nash watched David finish recording and then pack his things.

The three of them simply went directly to the small garden and found a place to sit down.

The three of us can talk freely here without disturbing others.

David told the two of them the conversation he had just had with the principal.

Alicia nodded thoughtfully, saying that its establishment would provide information support to the project center and R&D center.

You know, people are not omniscient and omnipotent.

In the angel investment project center, those who conduct project screening will definitely encounter many new projects in unknown fields that they have never encountered before.

Then the huge database of the data research center can become a strong basis for their choices and judgments at work.

In the project research and development center, these data will also provide data information support during the research and development process, thus greatly simplifying the time and energy of searching for information.

Nash, who had been sitting nearby and listening quietly, became very interested in the database David mentioned.

He asked David how he planned to build a database.

David looked at Nash, listened to his question, and considered it.

database.

The cornerstone of the future big data era.

IBM in this era should have developed a large storage computer group.

Apple also launched its latest product this year, the Apple 2nd generation microcomputer.

As for the Internet.

The current network development is still in the initial stage of sending and receiving simple emails.

From this point of view, the establishment of this database still requires a lot of manpower to complete collection, screening, classification, entry, etc.

But is there any software in this area that can help manage and use databases?

After David finished speaking these thoughts, he asked Alicia this question.

Alicia shook her head: "I don't know about current computer software. We can ask the professors in the computer science department. They may have a way to help us solve this problem."

Nash sat beside him and was distracted.

He looked at his wife's hair, which was ruffled by a gust of wind, and was a little lost in thought.

David frowned and solved the problem!

Data science itself requires in-depth study in order to solve problems.

Is this going full circle and back to where we started?

He turned to look at Nash, who was in a daze.

David remembered what a classmate who majored in computer science said at a high school reunion in his previous life.

Computer science and mathematics are inextricably linked.

It's just this principle that my teacher told me when I was in college.

But the students all looked at the linear algebra, discrete mathematics, probability statistics, etc. in their hands and felt sick.

They don't take these kind words seriously at all.

At the party, this IT practitioner used his own experience to verify the teacher's words.

He also briefly popularized science for students about some common misunderstandings and misunderstandings about IT practitioners.

Programming is just a small branch of the computer industry.

Why can these programmers write programs?

It's all because someone has already done everything from lower-level languages ​​to hardware systems.

They can use various software tools to complete programming work.

But no matter how awesome the programmer's programming language is, if he doesn't understand algorithms, he will always be a blue-collar worker in the computer industry.

What is the algorithm?

It's every problem waiting to be solved by a computer, its solution.

If you want to really go on and stand up in the computer industry, you must seriously study computer mathematics and algorithms.

David looked at Professor Nash and asked him whether he had done any research on discrete mathematics, linear reciprocals, and probability statistics.

Nash listened to David's question and smiled.

"I didn't expect you to know them. Discrete mathematics is a concept that was proposed in the last century."

"It is a comprehensive discipline that brings together logic, set theory, basics of number theory, algorithm design, discrete probability, relational theory, abstract algebra, etc."

"The year before last, in 1976, someone used discrete mathematics and computer calculation assistance to prove the four-color theorem."

"After I found out about it, I went to inquire about it."

"They used computers, calculated for 1200 hours, and made 100 billion judgments before they finally succeeded."

Having said this, Nash smiled and shook his head, picked up a fallen leaf on the ground and played with it in his hand.

"So I wanted to go to the Computer Science Department to take a class and learn more about this aspect."

"As a result, what they learned in their undergraduate courses was some knowledge in discrete mathematics."

"And I already know all these!"

amount. .

Ok.

David felt like he had asked a stupid question.

Nash's expression was quite confident.

Mathematics, in his life, is everything except his family.

Um. .

David thought that C language should have appeared now. Maybe if Nash could learn it, Nash could help with database software development.

He mentioned this idea to Nash.

Nash nodded: "I have heard of the C language, and I also understand its main function design. It should be no problem to learn it in depth."

"Yes, the popularity of computers has slowly begun. If you can develop our own software to manage the database we want to build, that would be great! And you can also use computers to improve your Nash Equilibrium Mathematical Model.”

Alicia held Nash's back and smiled.

At this time, a breeze blew.

The three of them were sitting in the shade of a tree, enjoying the autumn afternoon sunshine and chatting.

far away.

Martin was walking towards this side along Nassau Street with a dozen students.

As he walked, he introduced to the students the company they were interviewing for today and the jobs they would do after being admitted.

Among the students, a Chinese boy with black hair and dark eyes listened to Martin's introduction very carefully.

Alicia saw Martin and the others approaching, stood up and waved to them.

David and Nash also stood up and faced everyone.

They met and stood in the center of the small garden, and Martin introduced the three of them to the students.

Then ask the students to move some chairs out of the library and bring them to the small garden.

Today's interview was held here.

－－－－－－－

new York.

Tim got out of the car with Black Mike.

He suppressed his excitement and followed Black Mike into Harvey's studio.

Here, beauties wearing various costumes are resting.

After Tim left the set, his eyes began to look left and right, and some of them were no longer useful.

When Black Mike came in, he saw Tangtang talking to the cameraman on the set.

He patted Tim on the shoulder: "Man, take a look around for yourself. I'll ask Lori which scene starts filming today. Don't wander around!"

"okok, man, I'm right here waiting for you!"

After Black Mike made sure that this kid was dazzled and would not run around.

He turned and walked toward Harvey's office.

In the room, Harvey was immersed in the script in his hand.

Black Mike knocked on the door a few times.

"Hey, Harvey."

Harvey raised his head after hearing the sound: "Black Mike? Why are you here? Aren't you with David? What's the matter?"

Black Mike walked over and sat down opposite Harvey: "One of David's friends is a fan of Little Red Riding Hood. He particularly likes that movie. I brought him over today to meet Lori. When will her filming start? Isn't she here yet? "

"Little Red Riding Hood? Lori? Haha~" Harvey stood up and walked to the side, poured Black Mike a glass and handed it to him.

"Lori, she should be here soon. How is David? What has he been doing at home these two days?"

Black Mike took a sip from the wine glass and made a funny expression: "He has been in the library at Princeton University for the past two days. It is said that there are secrets to making a fortune!~"

"Wow, does that kid want to go to college again?"

"No, he didn't say that."

The two were chatting in Harvey's office when there was another knock on the door.

It's Tom.

Black Mike and Harvey were both a little surprised by his appearance.

Tom looked at the two of them: "What's wrong, man? What are you talking about?"

Black Mike stood up and said hello to Tom, and the two sat down again.

Only then did Harvey come back to his senses: "Tangtang is currently filming those films of yours. They will be edited and brought back to you tomorrow."

Tom smiled and shook his head, adjusting his sitting position: "No, I'm not here for this. Won't you give me a drink? Harvey."

amount. .

Harvey silently poured him a glass, and then stood there with his arms folded and looked at him.

Tom took the glass, took a sip, and played with it in his hand.

He saw the two of them looking at him without speaking: "Okay, man. I'm here because of the girl named Lori. I heard that she will be here to film a movie today, so I came over to talk to her."

Black Mike asked curiously: "Lori? What can you talk to her about? Are you also a fan of his?"

"Haha~nonono! I want to sign her to our company. Haha~Fans? You are so funny, Black Mike!"

Harvey thought for a while and curled up his beard: "Lori has her own agent CC. When we originally approached her for filming, that guy always looked very difficult to deal with. If you want to sign Lori, you need to Get rid of him first!”

Tom looked unconcerned: "Of course, as long as Lori has a price, we can negotiate. I believe the broker will definitely accept our offer."

Talk about price?

Black Mike and Harvey both complained in their hearts: Are you afraid that you will negotiate the price with money in one hand and a gun in the other?

By the way, if the broker cc faced Tom like this, would he still have a choice?
