Reborn Technology Scholar

Enjoying a sumptuous lunch, I have to give a thumbs up to the catering ancestor of the conference. In addition to the eight major Chinese cuisines, there are also various delicacies, including French food, Japanese food, etc., and many venues use robots to cook dishes.

, delivering food, the mathematicians attending the meeting were amazed.

Chinese people wear all kinds of exquisite watches on their hands. No one holds a mobile phone anymore. A beautiful watch has all the functions of a former smartphone, and also has more functional experiences. 5g communication technology supports artificial intelligence.

And more application scenarios, such as micro holographic projection...

Smart watches like this are currently only sold in China and have not yet been officially sold overseas because production capacity is currently limited.

After enjoying a sumptuous lunch, Qin Yuanqing decided to walk around the conference site.

The reports at the World Congress of Mathematicians are usually of high quality. In addition to the 1-hour reports and 45-minute reports that start at a fixed time, there are also many 30-minute reports and 10-minute report sessions. Any participating scholar can discuss what he or she is interested in.

Apply in groups.

There are more than twenty subject groups in the conference, and more can be divided into more subdivisions.

Unlike any previous World Congress of Mathematicians, China has given strong support to this World Congress of Mathematicians. Various lecture halls have been opened, enough for each subject group to have a dedicated lecture hall.

The one-hour lecture Qin Yuanqing was invited to was the last lecture on the last day as the finale. His lecture was not held in any subject-specific lecture hall, but in the largest auditorium using holographic projection technology.

It is carried out simultaneously in various sub-auditoriums, with holographic projection technology, and the effect is much more powerful than the online live broadcast experience.

Qin Yuanqing came to a number theory lecture hall. At this time, a young mathematician was giving a 10-minute lecture. This 10-minute lecture is mainly for ordinary scholars. As long as you apply to the conference, the conference will make arrangements as much as possible.

Let scholars communicate with each other as much as possible.

The young mathematician who was giving a report at the top of the stage at this time was Wei Shen from Yan University in China. He once broke out on the Internet because he was holding a bottle of mineral water, two steamed buns, and wearing extremely simple clothes with an unattractive appearance.

He was established as a propaganda model by Yanda and is now a full professor in the Department of Mathematics at Yanda.

Qin Yuanqing remembered that this mathematician who was one year younger than him, whose main research fields were partial differential equations and geometric analysis, was invited to give a 45-minute report at the conference. Looking at the report meeting Wei Shen was giving on the stage at this time,

But it is about number theory, or to be precise, some insights into Qin Yuanqing’s paper proving the Riemann Hypothesis.

Qin Yuanqing capped the edifice of the Riemann Hypothesis and completely captured the shining pearl of number theory. Although its influence is somewhat inferior to that of the collaboration with Perelman to prove the quasi-Riemann Hypothesis, there is no doubt that this achievement

Still bright enough and eye-catching enough.

If we look at the entire process, it can be said that Qin Yuanqing single-handedly completed the proof of the Riemann Hypothesis. This great achievement is great enough. If others complete the proof of the Riemann Hypothesis, it will be enough to become a candidate for the greatest mathematician of an era.

people.

There are countless scholars around the world who study the Riemann Hypothesis. As soon as Qin Yuanqing's paper proving the Riemann Hypothesis came out, these scholars started researching one after another. In this short period of time, there were thousands of papers on related research on the Riemann Hypothesis.

It is not an exaggeration to say that a paper written by Qin Yuanqing supported most of the scholars in the field of number theory.

Although it was only a 10-minute report, Qin Yuanqing listened very carefully and watched Wei Shen write equations and some profound words with chalk on the blackboard.

When it first became popular on the Internet, it was also criticized badly because it was just a lecture video in which he lectured to students on the podium, but during the lecture, he was basically talking to himself.

, this is called an 'autistic teaching method', and there is basically no interaction with students. And the students below don't seem to be very interested in Wei Shen's lectures. Not only are there not many students, but also the students are not very interested in listening to the lectures.

His condition was also very average, and he did not show any thirst for knowledge.

Because of this, many people began to question 'Wei Shen's' teaching level. Some people thought that because he did not learn Chinese well, his lectures were unclear and emotional. Some people felt that his way of speaking needed to be further improved, so that he could

It will make students more interested in his class, and they will be able to listen more clearly and understandly when listening to the class. Some people even think that as Yanda is the top university in China, the teachers who teach here should be top-notch in all aspects.

level, so I feel that Wei Shen is not worthy of being a teacher at Yanda.

In fact, these statements are all overgeneralizations and self-conceptions without understanding the real situation. The requirements for teachers in elementary schools, junior high schools, and high schools are directly transferred to university teachers. Look at all the universities in China.

Teachers, how many of them can make their courses lively and interesting, making students interested and able to understand them as soon as they listen?

According to this standard, at least 95% of Huaxia University teachers will be moved to the unqualified list.

In college, if the teacher lectures, you should understand well. If you don’t understand, you should study hard in advance and review after class. If you are more diligent, you can go to the office to ask the teacher for advice. If you think that the teacher will surround you, you will

Holding it in the palm of your hand and protecting it can only be said to be overthinking.

Teachers of other subjects are like this, but mathematics majors are even more outrageous. Tens of thousands of people across the country choose to major in mathematics every year. In the end, they continue to choose to further their studies in mathematics and become mathematics scholars. There are hundreds of thousands of them every year.

There may not be only a few in a class who can stand out and become famous.

Teachers majoring in mathematics, when they give lectures, and use the graphics, calculations, and symbols on the blackboard, in the eyes of ordinary people and people from other majors, it is really like reading a wordless Bible or listening to Hongjun's sermons. It is simply confusing.

Water, and being able to go without sleep is already considered a great achievement.

Mathematics is the most talented of all subjects!

This was true before, and it is also true now!

Nothing has changed!

The 10-minute report meeting ended quickly.

Qin Yuanqing discovered that compared to his achievements in partial differential equations and geometric analysis, Wei Shen could only be said to be average in number theory, not outstanding. What he just said about the Riemann Hypothesis made Qin Yuanqing discover that thinking is not

Not clear, tight.

But this is normal. The 10-minute report is said to be a report meeting, but in fact it is an opportunity and platform for communication with ordinary scholars to increase their sense of participation and avoid feeling that they are being ignored.

Even if it is a 30-minute report meeting, it can actually be regarded as a relatively good mathematical theory of some value.

Only 45-minute lectures and 1-hour lectures are truly first-class papers that truly have high mathematical research value.

Every Fields Medal winner is basically selected during a one-hour lecture.

Being invited by the World Congress of Mathematicians to give a one-hour report is undoubtedly considered a world-class mathematician and is enough to become an academician.

"Academician Qin, long time no see!"

Qin Yuanqing went to attend several more 10-minute report meetings. When he was about to attend a 30-minute report meeting, a voice came over.

Qin Yuanqing followed the voice and looked around. When he saw the person who greeted him, Qin Yuanqing immediately recognized this person. It was Yun Zhiwei!

Yun Zhiwei was born in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province in November 1982. He won the gold medal with full marks in the International Olympiad Mathematics Competition in high school. In 2000, he entered the School of Mathematics of Yantai University to study mathematics and applied mathematics. He graduated from Yantai University in 2004 and went to Princeton to pursue graduate studies in the Department of Mathematics.

, studied under Professor Robert Duncan McPherson, received his PhD in 2009, and then became a researcher in the Department of Mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. In 2010, he went to the MIT Department of Mathematics as a lecturer. In 2016, he served as a professor of mathematics at Yale University. In 2018

Professor of Mathematics at MIT, M Mathematics Gold Medal.

Later, Yun Zhiwei returned to China and was invited to join Fudan University and became a professor in the School of Mathematics of Fudan University. Now he is relatively famous among young Chinese mathematicians. This time he was invited to give a 45-minute report at the conference.

It's a pity that Yun Zhiwei is over 40 years old and has no chance of receiving the Fields Medal.

Xu Chenyang and others, who once had high hopes in the Chinese mathematics community, were all expected to win the Fields Medal, but all failed. Instead, it was Liu Xuan, a rising star, who successfully won the Fields Medal.

"Academician Qin, do you think the Langlands Program is really the road leading to the unification of mathematics?" Yun Zhiwei said.

"The Langlands Program can only be said to be helpful for the unification of mathematics, but in order to achieve the unification of mathematics, there is actually a lot of work to be done." Qin Yuanqing said after pondering.

He knew why Yun Zhiwei mentioned such a thing, because Yun Zhiwei's research field is geometric representation theory and Langlands Program, which means that Yun Zhiwei is also engaged in related research on the unification of mathematics.

The unification of mathematics has always been a great cause that countless mathematicians in the field of mathematics have been striving for throughout their lives. It is also the belief of many mathematicians. However, it has been more than half a century since the Langlands Program was proposed. During this half century, countless mathematicians have successively invested in it.

Among them, however, there have always been few achievements, and the unification of mathematics has always seemed so out of reach.

"However, the goal of unifying mathematics will be achieved sooner or later!" Qin Yuanqing said with a smile.

Although mathematics has developed countless branches, each branch has developed to a considerable height and has its own complete set of mature theories. But as the saying goes, different roads lead to the same goal, and all roads lead to Rome. In the end, their essence is mathematics, and they all have

The most essential internal connection.

In other words, when mathematics develops to the end, the unification of mathematics will be a matter of course and will definitely succeed.
