Omnipotent Data

Chapter 456

November 10.

The capital of the United States, New York.

The awarding ceremony of the 16th Veblen Prize was held in the Great Hall of the headquarters of the American Mathematical Society.

More than 300 mathematicians attended the award ceremony.

Big names in the field of digital geometry and topology came to the scene in person.

For example, Professor Fresnel, the prover of the Poincaré conjecture, and Professor Dexter, who has the title of "King of Topology"...

As a candidate, Cheng Nuo and the other five nominated mathematicians sat in the second row of the auditorium.

Nearly seventy years old, the president of the American Mathematical Society, Mr. Odd Lens, walked tremblingly to the microphone on crutches.

Received a sealed letter from the staff, which contained the list of winners of this Veblen Award.

Under the gaze of everyone, President Ord tore open the envelope and took out a piece of cardboard.

There are three names written on it.

"I am very pleased to be able to present this sacred award again. It has been nearly fifty years since the Veblen Award was established. Mathematicians who have made great contributions. Let their research results be applied. Also work hard to let the world recognize the weight of Veblen's award." President Ord said in his small voice, "Now I can be sure To put it bluntly, we did it. And those mathematicians who won the prize did not live up to our trust, and continued to shine in the cause of mathematics, climbing one limit after another.”

"Now, it is up to me to announce the winners of the sixteenth Veblen. They are..."

President Ord's voice suddenly increased a bit.

Everyone in the audience also pricked up their ears, looking forward to this tense moment.

"They are: Cheng Nuo! Noah Emmett! Kenneth Emmett! Let us congratulate these three mathematicians!"

At the scene, thunderous applause!

Hearing his name, Cheng Nuo smiled faintly.

Although it was already in my expectation, it is indeed a joyful thing to win the Veblen Award.

Although the Veblen Award is unknown to the public, it has a very high gold content in the industry.

Especially in the fields of geometry and topology, the gold content of this award is second only to the highest award in the field of mathematics, the Fields Medal.

Sometimes, with such an award in hand, staying in a university and dying is enough.

Of course, Cheng Nuo's goal is the Fields Award, and he will never stop his progress just because he won the Veblen Award.

"Next, I invite three award-winning mathematicians to come to the stage to accept the award."

Under the envious eyes of all the mathematicians, Cheng Nuo and the other two award-winning mathematicians got up and walked to the stage.

When the young and handsome Cheng Nuo stood on the podium, he instantly became the focus of everyone.

I have heard for a long time that a young mathematician named Cheng Nuo has suddenly emerged a while ago and has become a favorite for the Veblen Prize.

Seeing Cheng Nuo's real appearance now, the group of elderly mathematicians all scratched their thinning hair in speechless expressions.

It doesn't matter that Cheng Nuo is young, the key is... he is so handsome.

Looking at the radiant Cheng Nuo on the stage, he knew that he was an award-winning mathematician, but those who didn't know it thought he was a special star invited by the Mathematics Association!

President Ord hung three medals made of pure gold around the necks of the three, and then handed each of them a red leather award certificate.

At the age of 21, Cheng Nuo became the youngest winner of the Veblen Award!

The three winners then took turns to give acceptance speeches.

Cheng Nuo also said some routines such as thanking the school, thanking the teacher, thanking the parents in a regular manner, and then returned to his seat amidst the applause of the crowd.

After the awards, there will be a dinner.

As the youngest winner in history, Cheng Nuo was naturally the focus of everyone's attention.

Many people came to chat with Cheng Nuo, some of them were talking about academic issues, and some of them simply came to establish a relationship with Cheng Nuo.

Cheng Nuo has a promising future, and behind him stands the mountain of Professor Fresnel,

They didn't want to be friends with Cheng Nuo, they just wanted not to turn against Cheng Nuo.

Cheng Nuo did not refuse.

This is the first time he has come into contact with the "high-end society" in the mathematics world in a real sense. The academic atmosphere in the United States does not exist, and Cheng Nuo does not need to stand in line.

It is only good for me to make friends with mathematicians from major universities, and there is no harm.

During the conversation with Cheng Nuo, everyone also found that Cheng Nuo was not as arrogant and defiant as they imagined. Instead, he was very humble, saying that he was very young and would need the guidance of seniors in the future.

After the dinner, I stayed in the hotel for one night. The next day, Cheng Nuo rushed back to MIT with Professor Fresnel and several MIT mathematicians.

…………

In terms of professional title, Cheng Nuo is currently an associate professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

But this semester, Cheng Nuo has no teaching tasks due to the scheduled schedule. Cheng Nuo also wandered around the laboratory building and library every day.

However, within a few days, Cheng Nuo received an invitation from the academy to give a lecture on Jacobi's conjecture.

Cheng Nuo remembered that Professor Fresnel had mentioned this to him more than a month ago. But then I was busy with my graduation thesis and declined.

But Cheng Nuo was now an official employee of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and he didn't have any important work at hand, so it was no longer easy to refuse.

After confirming the time with the college, Cheng Nuo briefly prepared the content of the lecture.

The day of the lecture.

Cheng Nuo thought it would be good if there were thirty or forty students who could come to listen. After all, there were more than one or two bigwigs in MIT who were stronger than him.

As for the Veblen Prize he won, he can definitely dominate in an ordinary university, but at MIT, only the Nobel Prize and the Fields Medal are eligible.

At the same time, there were several big bosses who held lectures with him. Unexpectedly, there were more than 100 students who came to the scene.

The small lecture theater is full of seats.

In fact, what Cheng Nuo didn't know was that the purpose of the more than one hundred students who came to the scene was not to hear the specific content of the lecture, but to meet Cheng Nuo.

The youngest doctor of science, the youngest winner of the Veblen Prize, the youngest associate professor of the School of Mathematics...

There were too many legends about Cheng Nuo.

Half of the students present were older than Cheng Nuo, but they were still struggling to study for a Ph.D., while Cheng Nuo...had already achieved fame!

Not convinced?

There must be.

They are all the proud sons of heaven, and they have long been used to being called geniuses!

But they found that compared to Cheng Nuo, their title of genius was a big joke!

So, their self-esteem was severely hit, and they wanted to see with their own eyes whether that Cheng Nuo was as evil as the rumors said!
