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 10 million US dollars to establish the Wolf Foundation. Its purpose is mainly to promote the development of science and art around the world. This prize is mainly a reward

Persons who have made outstanding contributions to promoting human science and art civilization are selected once a year and awarded five awards in agriculture, physics, chemistry, mathematics, and medicine, with a bonus of US$100,000. Because there is no mathematics award in the Nobel Prize, many people

In my mind, the Wolf Prize is the Nobel Prize in mathematics.

"Congratulations to my country's famous mathematician Professor Qin Yuanqing for winning the Wolf Prize in Mathematics!" Renren Daily reported this immediately, 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 for 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 be at ease with scientific research or real estate speculation?" The Global Times report was more sharp. 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

If you don’t introduce policies, then you can buy a house if you have money. This raises a reflective question. If the whole country is keen on real estate speculation, there is still hope for the country. This calls on the country 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! A person under 20 years old has obtained the

"Nobel Prize", his achievements made the entire American nation cry!", which makes people tremble all over and tremble in their souls. However, some people just like this, and with the traffic, UC will have enough ability to create a shock.

Shocking news.

Jingtian was on the Hengdian crew 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: "@青元清, congratulations to the male idol for winning the grand prize!"

In just one hour, it had been forwarded tens of thousands of times, with many comments, and it had successfully attracted a wave of popularity. The corners of Jingtian's lips curled up slightly, and he called Qin Yuanqing, but 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 Hunan Province. He graduated from the Department of Mathematics of Xiangtan University in 1985 when he was only 20 years old. He graduated from the Institute of Mathematics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences with a PhD in 1990 and stayed at the institute, serving as an associate researcher, researcher, and doctoral student.

Mentor, he became the director of the Institute of Mathematics in 2003 at the age of 38.

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

long.

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 Prize. Now it seems that Qin Yuanqing has the greatest hope.

.”

During Zhang Wei's doctoral studies, Zhang Wei, his mentor Zhang Shouwu, found a method in just three months when he was studying the modularity problem in Kudara's 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 in the Department of Mathematics at Yanda from 1999 to 2004, receiving bachelor's and master's degrees. He then went to Princeton to study for a doctoral degree, and received his doctorate from Princeton University in 2008. After graduation, he taught at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States.

"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 Yanda 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 Yanda accounts for a large proportion. It is also the only one with the right to speak.

But last year, Qin Yuanqing suddenly rose to prominence, and his 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 or sympathize.

"We can't suppress it any longer, otherwise our Chinese mathematics community will become an international joke!" Zhou Xiangyu said dissatisfied.

Qin Yuanqing proved Zhou's conjecture and the twin prime number 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 are beautiful in the forest, you will be destroyed by the wind!

But now that 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. Then

At that time, the entire Chinese Mathematical Society will be embarrassed, and the 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 him to maintain the status of the Department of Mathematics at Yanda in the Chinese mathematics community. In addition, 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 made a speech at the World Congress of Mathematicians.

1-hour conference report, he is 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 community of corruption and said that Tian Gang was suspected of plagiarism without naming him. Naturally, Tian Gang would not take it easy and refuted it. You can do it on both sides.

I go to various places to conduct written exchanges between scholars!

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 great achievements again, he could still suppress him. But now that Qin Yuanqing has won the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, he can't suppress him 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

Director Lin and Dean Li were very happy when they heard the news. 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 for a long time, 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 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, stay high and dream!" Dean Li is very ambitious. Now the School of Science wants to have trump cards and funds.

If you want honor and honor, if you don’t kick the Mathematics Department of Yanda off the 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 turn around 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?

"You're stupid, you don't know how to go to the library!" Dean Li was almost angry to death. Why is his assistant so stupid? Should he get another one!?

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. The assistant discovered for the first time that he could still run and was not too fat to be saved.
