Twelve lovely students attended the lectures by Professor Vladimir Arnold and Professor Ludwig Faddeev. The lectures were "Mathematics of Chaos" and "What is Quantum Mathematical Physics". The content was too difficult for my students and me. However, we could still feel the atmosphere of academic spirit. The part we liked most was when Professor Chen-Ning Yang said that God used beautiful mathematics to create the world but just did give enough neutrons for human to understand. We need to be more close to God to see the beauty of Universe.
