World-Famous Event
Editor: Henyee Translations
Morning of July 31st, 2018.
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Mathematicians from all over the world gathered here for the International Congress of Mathematicians.
Although the official opening ceremony of the conference was tomorrow, the parking lot outside the Barra da Tijuca Hotel was already crowded.
There was only one reason.
The upcoming report on the "Navier–Stokes equation" would be held in the main conference hall. Professor Lu Zhou from the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study would report on his latest research progress.
For many people, this report was more significant than tomorrow's opening ceremony.
It wasn't only because of the million dollars reward.
But because it was the beginning of a new era…
Although the organizers of the conference provided rooms for all of the invited scholars as well as some of the scholars that applied, the rooms were limited and not everyone had accommodation.
