In the morning session, students and teachers raised many questions to Prof. Ngo Bao Chau about his pathway to mathematics and success, encouraging the passion for mathematics, opting for applied mathematics, mathematical study skills, applications of mathematics to practical and life problem solving. Replying to these questions, Prof. Ngo Bao Chau shared thatstudying math is a lonely job as he works independently most of the time. One of his secrets to success is the openness and knowledge sharing through books and notebooks or with colleagues and friends. It also helps him learn better once he faces difficulty in solvinga mathematical question or understanding a problem.

According to Prof. Ngo Bao Chau, the industrial revolution 4.0 with remarkable transformation of science and technology will create many opportunities and challenges for humanity including Vietnam. Therefore, students need to regularly access and acquire up-to-date knowledge, so that when graduating, they will apply science and technology to the provincial socio-economic development to increase the product value and contribute to the local and national sustainable development based on science and technology.
