Poverty Revealing Smile

Editor: Henyee Translations

Something big happened at the end of the month.

The emperor of mathematics and father of modern algebraic geometry, Alexander Grothendieck, died.

Apparently, the old man was diagnosed by a doctor last month. It was a miracle that he lived till now.

His proud student Deligne attended his funeral. At the end of the funeral, Deligne announced a piece of sad news to his friends and relatives, and those concerned about mathematics.

"… Algebraic geometry of the 20th century has produced many geniuses, but there is only one God, and that is Mr. Grothendieck."

This sentence was reported by many major media outlets and newspapers. It finally appeared in Lu Zhou's WeChat news feed.

However, other than that sentence, the media did not really report the news extensively.

After all, he had left the mathematics world for many years.

If Lu Zhou was not a mathematics major, he would not have heard of this big event.
