Rebirth of science and technology academic master

Chapter 94 Wolfe Prize in Mathematics

On March 20th, Beijing time, the 2010 Wolf Prize was announced. Qin Yuanqing and Qiu Chengtong won the Wolf Prize. With media reports, one stone stirred up waves!

The Wolf Prize was awarded on January 1, 1976. Wolf and his family donated US$10 million to establish the Wolf Foundation, whose main purpose is to promote the development of science and art around the world. This award is mainly awarded to people who have made outstanding contributions to promoting human science and art civilization. It is selected once a year and awarded in five categories: agriculture, physics, chemistry, mathematics, and medicine, with a bonus of US$100,000. Because there is no mathematics prize among the Nobel Prizes, in the minds of many people, the Wolf Prize is the Nobel Prize in mathematics.

Congratulations to Professor Qin Yuanqing, a famous Chinese mathematician, for winning the Wolf Prize in Mathematics! 》Renren Daily took this as the first report, reviewing Qin Yuanqing’s achievements in the field of mathematics in the past year, and also introduced the Wolf Prize, and mentioned that Mr. Yuan won the Wolf Prize in Agriculture in 2004 .

Congratulations to Professor Qin Yuanqing for becoming the youngest winner of the Wolf Prize Youth Daily reported on this, counting the ages of previous Wolf Prize winners, highlighting that Qin Yuanqing won the award under the age of 20.

Should scientists conduct scientific research with peace of mind or speculate in real estate? 》Global Times reported more sharply. While reporting that Qin Yuanqing won the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, it also reported that Qin Yuanqing mentioned the purchase of 53 properties during the two sessions, claiming that the country would not introduce policies so that people with money would buy properties. This raises a question for reflection. If the whole country is keen on real estate speculation, there is still hope for the country. This calls on the state to introduce policies to regulate real estate development.

The major traditional media were the first to report it, and the online media followed closely after getting the news and reported it one after another. However, the news headlines were much more exaggerated. For example, the UC Shock Department published an article titled Shocked! He has won the Nobel Prize under the age of 20. His achievements have made the entire American nation cry! Watching it makes people tremble all over and tremble in their souls, but some people just like this, and with traffic, the UC Shock Department is capable of creating pieces of shocking news.

Jingtian was on the set of Hengdian and had just finished filming a scene. She opened Weibo and saw that Weibo news was already hot. After seeing Qin Yuanqing win the award, she didn’t care what the Wolf Prize in Mathematics was. It was too much for her. It was difficult, so he quickly posted a Weibo: @Qin Yuanqing, congratulations to the male idol for winning the grand prize!

In just one hour, it had been forwarded tens of thousands of times and had many comments. It successfully attracted a wave of popularity. The corners of Jingtian's lips curled up slightly and he called Qin Yuanqing. Unfortunately, no one answered the call.

Institute of Mathematics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

In the office located in a corner of the institute, watching the news broadcast on TV, Zhou Xiangyu couldn't help but sigh: It's really awesome to win the Wolf Prize in Mathematics at such a young age!

Zhou Xiangyu was born in 1965 in Xiang Province. He graduated from the Mathematics Department of Xiangtan University in 1985 at the age of 20. He graduated with a doctorate from the Institute of Mathematics, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1990, and stayed at the institute, serving as an associate researcher, researcher, and doctoral supervisor. In 2003, at the age of 38, he became the director of the Institute of Mathematics.

He is a big-shot figure in basic mathematics on multiple complex variables and complex geometry. He was invited to give a 45-minute invitational report at the 2002 International Congress of Mathematicians. Now he is not only the director of the institute, but also the vice chairman of the Chinese Mathematical Society.

Shang Zaijiu sighed and said: Yes, he rose so fast that he became famous all over the world without even noticing. I used to think that among the group of scholars born in the 1980s, the group who graduated in 2000 were the most outstanding. Among them, Zhang Wei and Yun Zhibo are especially the best among them, as well as Xu Chenyang... Originally, in our opinion, these young talents all had the hope of competing for the Philippine Awards, but now it seems that Qin Yuanqing has the greatest hope. .”

Zhang Wei, during his Ph.D. period, he found a method in just three months when his supervisor Zhang Shouwu was studying the modularity problem in the Kudala conjecture. In the second year of his Ph.D., he wrote a thesis, which was immediately astonished by the domestic mathematics community. For heavenly beings.

Xu Chenyang studied at the Department of Mathematics at Yanda from 1999 to 2004, receiving bachelor's and master's degrees. Later, he went to Princeton to study for a doctorate. He received his doctorate from Princeton University in 2008 and taught at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States after graduation.

Shui Mu, you really got a big deal this time! Maybe it will really break the dominance of the Mathematics Department of Yanda! Shang Zaijiu said quietly.

The Mathematics Department of YSU has always been the best in the country. Even in the Institute of Mathematics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Department of Mathematics of YSU accounts for a large proportion. In terms of the right to speak, it is also the only one.

However, last year, Qin Yuanqing suddenly emerged and shined brightly. Two major mathematical achievements eclipsed Yanda. He won the first prize of the National Natural Science Award, and now he won the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, making Shuimu Mathematics also shine.

Didn't the great man once say that one flower blooming alone is not spring, but a hundred flowers blooming together will fill the garden with spring! If it is broken, it will be broken! Zhou Xiangyu said.

He is not from the Mathematics Department of Yanda, so he will not worry about sympathy.

We can't suppress him anymore, otherwise our Chinese mathematics community will become an international joke! Zhou Xiangyu said dissatisfied.

Qin Yuanqing proved Zhou's conjecture and the twin prime conjecture last year. According to the rules, he will have a lot of mathematics titles on his head. However, because of the potential influence of the Mathematics Department of Yanda, it is not a good thing for young people to go too smoothly. They have to temper themselves. If you show off to the forest wind, you will be destroyed!

But now Qin Yuanqing has won the Wolf Prize in Mathematics. When the international mathematics community takes a look, well, he is not even a director of the Chinese Mathematical Society, and the others have nothing to do with the Chinese Mathematical Society. The Chinese Mathematical Society is so awesome. At that time, the entire Chinese Mathematical Society will be embarrassed, and its shame will be lost to the world.

Department of Mathematics, Yanda University

Tian Gang was losing his temper. When he saw the news broadcast that Qin Yuanqing won the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, Tian Gang almost vomited blood.

As the head of the Department of Mathematics at Yanda, it is natural for me to maintain the position of the Department of Mathematics at Yanda in the Chinese mathematics community. Moreover, Tian Gang was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2001 and has a wide network of contacts. In 2002, he even gave a one-hour conference report at the World Congress of Mathematicians, making him a big figure in Chinese mathematics.

After learning that Shuimu University had invited Qiu Chengtong to establish a mathematics research center, Qiu Chengtong mobilized his connections and influence to suppress Qin Yuanqing.

Although he studied for a doctorate under Qiu Chengtong, the relationship between master and apprentice was not good. In 2005, Qiu Chengtong accused the Chinese academic circle of corruption and said that Tian Gang was suspected of plagiarism without naming him. Naturally, Tian Gang would not surrender and refuted it. The two sides exchanged scholarly written messages back and forth!

As for the truth, no one knows, no one knows, except the person involved!

Tian Gang almost vomited blood. If Qin Yuanqing didn't make any big results again, he could still suppress it. But now that Qin Yuanqing has won the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, he can't hold back no matter how capable he is.

After all, the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, the first honor received by a Chinese mathematician, and the three major world mathematics awards, are not just talk.

Even Tian Gang, a big figure in Chinese mathematics, failed to win the Wolf Prize in Mathematics!

The Wolf Prize in Mathematics has always been a symbol of lifelong achievement. It is basically only awarded to the world's top mathematicians who are older. It is almost certain that the winner will not make great achievements again.

This is very different from the Fields Medal. The age limit for Fields Medal winners is under 40 years old, and this age group is the golden age of mathematicians and is most likely to make great achievements.

Tian Gang never thought that young Qin Yuanqing would win the Wolf Prize in Mathematics!

Shuimu University

When Director Lin and Dean Li heard the news, they were extremely happy. They did not expect that Qin Yuanqing would win the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, which is the highest award in the Chinese mathematics community, followed by the Fields Medal.

It’s so morale-boosting!

They can imagine that with Qin Yuanqing winning the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, the status of the Department of Mathematics at Shuimu University in China will once again rise, and it will be more able to attract Chinese mathematical geniuses.

The number of students in the Shuimu Mathematics Department in previous years was actually not as good as that of the Mathematics Department of Yanda, including Qin Yuanqing's class.

Because mathematics is about talent, some geniuses showed their dazzling talents in the first and second years of high school, and were recruited by Yanda early as the first mathematics department in China.

In Qin Yuanqing's term, because Qin Yuanqing had not made a decision, some mathematical geniuses were also recruited away.

Now, the morale of the School of Science has increased, including the admissions office teachers, who are already targeting the mathematical geniuses of the CMO, and the biggest sign is Qin Yuanqing.

Everyone, please work hard. This year, we must pull down the Mathematics Department of Yanda from the throne. If we don't have the honor, we still want to sit on it, lofty and dreaming! Dean Li is very ambitious. Now the School of Science wants to have trump cards and funds. We must have honor and honor. If we don’t kick Yanda’s Mathematics Department off its throne now, then when will it be better?

Sure enough, the School of Science relies on genius. As long as you are talented enough, you can easily reverse the entire situation!

Contact Professor Qin quickly and ask him to come to the hospital! Dean Li said to his assistant.

The assistant said with a sad face: Dean, I can't contact you. I have called three times and sent messages on QQ!

The assistant cursed Qin Yuanqing in his heart. How old was he? His cell phone was muted and turned off, and he couldn't access QQ. How could he let others contact him?

Stupid, you don't know how to go to the library! Dean Li was almost angry to death. Why was his assistant so stupid? Should he be replaced? ?

Who doesn’t know that Qin Yuanqing spends most of his time in the library? This is an open secret of Shuimu University!

I can't contact Qin Yuanqing. I'm sure I can find him in the library!

The assistant patted his head, wondering why he didn't think of it.

He hurriedly left the office and headed towards the library. For the first time, the assistant discovered that he could still run and was not too fat to be saved.
