Chapter 94 Wolf Prize in Mathematics
Chapter 94 Wolf Prize in Mathematics

On March 3, Beijing time, the 20 Wolf Prize was announced. Qin Yuanqing and Qiu Chengtong won the Wolf Prize. With the media reports, one stone caused a thousand miles of waves!

The Wolf Prize was established on January 1976, 1. Wolf and his family donated 1 million US dollars to establish the Wolf Foundation, whose purpose is mainly to promote the development of science and art around the world.This award is mainly to reward those who have made outstanding contributions to the promotion of human science and art civilization. It is selected once a year and rewards five awards in agriculture, physics, chemistry, mathematics, and medicine, with a bonus of 1000 US dollars.Because there is no mathematics award in the Nobel Prize, 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 reported this for the first time, reviewing Qin Yuanqing's achievements in the field of mathematics in the past year, and also introduced the Wolf Prize, and mentioned that Yuan Lao won the Wolf Prize for Agriculture in 2004. .

"Congratulations to Professor Qin Yuanqing for being the youngest recipient of the Wolf Prize" The Youth Daily used this as a report, counting the ages of the previous Wolf Prize winners, highlighting that Qin Yuanqing was under 20 years old when he received the award.

"Is it to let scientists feel at ease in scientific research or real estate speculation? The Global Times reported more sharply. While reporting that Qin Yuanqing won the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, it also reported that Qin Yuanqing had purchased 53 properties during the Two Sessions, claiming that the country would buy a house if the country had no policy to be so rich, so that This raises a question for reflection. If the whole country is keen to speculate on real estate, there is still hope for the country.This calls on the state to introduce policies to regulate real estate development.

The major traditional media first reported the news, and the online media followed closely after they got the news, but the news headlines were much exaggerated. For example, the UC Shock Department made an article entitled "Shock!Under the age of 20, he has won the 'Nobel Prize', and his achievements have brought tears to all Americans! ", it makes people tremble all over and their souls tremble, but some people like this set, and with traffic, the UC shock department has enough ability to create shocking news articles.

Jingtian was in the Hengdian crew. She just finished filming a scene. She opened Weibo and saw that the news on Weibo was already hot. When she saw that Qin Yuanqing won the grand prize, she didn't care what the Wolf Mathematics Award was. It was too much for her. It was difficult, so I quickly posted a Weibo: "@Qin Yuanqing, congratulations to the male god for winning the grand prize!"

In just one hour, tens of thousands of retweets and many comments were made, which successfully created a wave of popularity. The corner of Jingtian's mouth was slightly raised, and he called Qin Yuanqing, but unfortunately no one answered the phone.

Institute of Mathematics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

In the office in the corner of the research institute, watching the news broadcast on TV, Zhou Xiangyu couldn't help but sigh: "It's really terrifying, winning the Wolf Prize in Mathematics at a young age!"

Zhou Xiangyu was born in 1965 and is from Hunan Province. He graduated from the Mathematics Department of Xiangtan University in 1985 at the age of 20. In 1990, he graduated from the Institute of Mathematics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences with a Ph.D., and stayed at the institute to pay attention. He successively served as an associate researcher, a researcher, and a doctoral tutor. In 2003, he became the director of the Institute of Mathematics at the age of 38.

His multi-complex variables and complex geometry in basic mathematics belong to the bigwigs. He was invited to give a 2002-minute invited report at the 45 International Conference of Mathematicians.Now he is not only the director of the institute, but also the vice chairman of the Chinese Mathematical Society.

Shang Zailong sighed and said: "Yeah, the rise is too fast, and it has become famous all over the world without paying attention. I used to think that among the group of scholars born in the 80s, the group who graduated in 2000 was the most outstanding. Among them, Zhang Wei and Yun Zhibang are especially outstanding among them, and Xu Chenyang... Originally, in our opinion, these young talents have the hope of impacting the Philippine Award, but now it seems that Qin Yuanqing has the greatest hope ."

Zhang Wei, during his Ph.D., when his supervisor Zhang Shouwu was studying the problem of modularity in the Kudara conjecture, he found a method in only three months. He wrote a dissertation in the second year of his Ph.D. for the gods.

Xu Chenyang, from 1999 to 2004, studied in the Department of Mathematics of Yan University, or a bachelor's and a master's degree.Afterwards, he went to Princeton to study for a Ph.D. degree. In 2008, he received a Ph.D. from Princeton University. After graduation, he taught at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States.

"Shui Mu, I really got a great deal this time! Maybe it will really break the dominance of Yan University's mathematics department!" Shang Zaijiu said quietly.

For a long time, the Mathematics Department of Yan University has been the best in the country. Even the Mathematics Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Mathematics Department of Yan University accounts for a large proportion.In terms of the right to speak, it is also a dominance.

But last year, Qin Yuanqing rose abruptly and shined brightly. The two major mathematical achievements eclipsed Yan Da. He also won the first prize of the National Natural Science Award, and now he has won the Wolf Mathematics Award, which made Shuimu mathematics also shine.

"Didn't the great man say that a flower alone is not spring, a hundred flowers bloom in spring and the garden is full! If it is broken, it will be broken!" Zhou Xiangyu said.

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

"It can't be pressed any more, otherwise our Chinese mathematics community will become an international joke!" Zhou Xiangyu said dissatisfiedly.

Qin Yuanqing proved Zhou's conjecture and the twin prime number conjecture last year. According to the rules, there will be a lot of math titles on the head, but because of the potential influence of Yan University's mathematics department, it is not a good thing to say that young people go too smoothly. Show in the forest wind will destroy it!

But now Qin Yuanqing has won the Wolf Prize in Mathematics. When the time comes, the international mathematical community will take a look. Well, he is not even a director of the Huaxia Mathematical Society, and the others have nothing to do with the Huaxia Mathematical Society.At that time, the entire Huaxia Mathematical Society would be humiliated, and humiliated and thrown into the world.

Yan University Department of Mathematics

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

As the dean of the Mathematics Department of Yan University, it is a matter of course to maintain the status of the Mathematics Department of Yan University in the Chinese mathematics community.In addition, Tian Gang was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2001, and he has a wide network of contacts. In 2002, he made a one-hour conference report at the World Congress of Mathematicians. He is a mathematician in China.

After learning that Shuimu University took Qiu Chengtong to establish a mathematics research center, Qiu Chengtong activated his personal connections and influence to press Qin Yuanqing.

Although he was studying for a doctorate under Qiu Chengtong, the teacher-apprentice relationship was not strict. In 2005, Qiu Chengtong accused Huaxia academic circles of corruption and called Tian Gang suspected of plagiarism without naming him.Naturally, Tian Gang will not be caught without his hands, and he is also refuting it.The two sides have come and gone to carry out scholarly written mutual attacks!
As for the truth, no one knows, no one knows, except the parties involved!

Tian Gang almost vomited blood. If Qin Yuanqing didn't make any big achievements, he could still press down.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 for Mathematics, the first honor for a Chinese mathematician, the three major world mathematics prizes, is not just talk.

Even Tian Gang, as a big man in the Chinese mathematics community, failed to win the Wolf Mathematics Award!
For a long time, the Wolf Prize in Mathematics has always been a symbol of life-long achievement. Basically, it is only awarded to the world's top mathematicians who are older. It is almost certain that the winner will not make much further achievements.

This is very different from the Fields Medal. The age of the winners of the Fields Medal is limited to 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 Qin Yuanqing, a young man, would have won the Wolf Prize in Mathematics!

. . . . . .

Mizuki University
Director Lin and Dean Li were overjoyed when they heard the news. They did not expect that Qin Yuanqing would win the Wolf Prize in Mathematics. This is the highest award in the Chinese mathematics community, and on top of that, there is the Fields Medal.

So morale!
The two can imagine that with Qin Yuanqing winning the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, the status of the Department of Mathematics of Shuimu University in China will rise again, and it will also be more attractive to Chinese math geniuses.

In previous years, the source of students in the Department of Mathematics of Shuimu was actually not as good as that of the Department of Mathematics of Yan University, including Qin Yuanqing and the others.

Because mathematics is about talent, some geniuses showed their dazzling talents in the first and second year of high school, and they were brought under the command of Yanda University in the name of Huaxia's first mathematics department.

In this session of Qin Yuanqing, because Qin Yuanqing did not make a decision for a long time, some math geniuses were also taken away.

And now, the morale of the Faculty of Science has risen, including the admissions teacher, who is already targeting the math geniuses of the CMO, and the biggest sign is Qin Yuanqing.

"Everyone, cheer up, this year, the Department of Mathematics of Yan University must be taken down from the throne. If there is no honor, I still want to sit on it, be high, and dream!" Dean Li is very ambitious. Now the Faculty of Science needs trump cards and trump cards, and funds and funds. To be honored, there is honor. At this time, the Department of Mathematics of Yan University will not be kicked off the throne, let alone.

Sure enough, the Faculty of Science relies on genius, and as long as there is enough genius, the whole situation can easily be reversed!
"Quickly contact Professor Qin and let him come to the hospital!" Dean Li said to his assistant.

The assistant said with a sad face: "President, I can't get in touch. I have made three calls, and QQ has also sent a message!"

The assistant cursed Qin Yuanqing in his heart, what age is it, and the phone is muted and turned off, and QQ is not available, how can others contact him.

"Stupid, can't you go to the library!" Dean Li almost died of anger, why is his assistant so stupid, should he change it! ?

Who doesn't know that Qin Yuanqing is in the library most of the time, this is an open secret of Shuimu University!

I can't get in touch with Qin Yuanqing, go to the library and be sure to find it!
The assistant patted his head, why didn't he think of it.

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