I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 511 The Cole Prize in Number Theory, and the Unprecedented Crisis

Qin Ke was stunned by the system's new task of learning God.

The mission rewards up to 5000 points plus the mysterious gift package made Qin Ke very jealous.

But... Want to take home five international mathematics awards that are equivalent to or higher than the Cole Prize in Number Theory?This difficulty can be high enough.

Although there are many international mathematics awards, there are not many that may be on the same level as the Cole Number Theory Award or even have a higher reputation and recognition than it.

The Fields Medal, the Wolf Medal, and the Abel Medal are known as the three major awards in the international mathematics community. They are definitely higher than the Cole Prize in Number Theory, and the Gauss Medal and Chern Medal, which are both issued by the IMU, can also be counted.

However, the Wolf Prize and the Abel Prize are basically given to old mathematicians over the age of 50, and Qin Ke can't wait.

IMU's Shiing-shen Award... is even more difficult to win than the Fields Award. I am afraid that I have to overcome Hodge's conjecture to have a chance.

The Gauss Award is awarded to those who have made outstanding contributions in applied mathematics. Qin Ke's current internationally influential mathematical achievements are mainly in number theory, that is, in theoretical mathematics. This Gauss Award is also very difficult.

In addition, IMU also has two lesser-known awards, the Abacus Award and the Lilawati Award. The former rewards mathematicians who have made outstanding contributions to the mathematics of information science, and they need to have both extremely high computer and mathematics levels; the latter The recipient rewards mathematicians who have had a positive impact on the promotion of mathematics.

These two Qin Ke are a little confident to win, but these two awards are newly established, and their influence and reputation in the world are relatively small. I don't know if the system will be included in the mission results.

In this way, only the Fields Medal can be won within two years.

Going down, the Ramanujin Award, the Craford Award, the Lobachevsky Award, the Ostrovsky Award, and the Steele Award of the American Mathematical Society are as famous as the Cole Award... …

In other words, if Qin Ke wants to complete this task, besides the Fields Medal, he must win at least four of the above five awards.

The difficulty is really not small, but Qin Ke thought about it again, and if he solves the Hail conjecture and Goldbach conjecture, he should still have a great chance to win these prizes. As for the Fields Medal, the competition is too fierce... Then add The remaining two sets of expressions of the Riemann conjecture!

Completely deciphering the Riemann conjecture such a big killer sacrificed, who in the world will compete with it?
But what gives Qin Ke a little headache is that even if his current level of mathematics has reached the real master level, he can only fully understand the fourth set of expressions and its derivation process in "Comprehensive Analysis of the Riemann Hypothesis". The fifth group of expressions is still half understandable.

It is estimated that one must reach a master-level mathematics level in order to truly understand this last group of expressions that are extremely difficult.

Grandmaster level...

Qin Ke looked at the progress bar of the mathematics subject again, and there was still about 3400 points left. Winning four awards including the Ramanujan Prize should be able to push the mathematics level to the master level.

Come on!Try to solve the hail conjecture within this year!Then move on to the Goldbach conjecture!

……

However, Qin Ke's return to China was delayed for another three days. On the one hand, Uncle Chen Jingxue called again and asked him and Ning Qingyun to continue to accept interviews with foreign media so as to continue to "build momentum". On the other hand, Professor Tao The conversation is really too high.

Probably because it is rare to meet a "master" who can have such a fierce thinking collision. Whenever Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun have time, Professor Tao will come to talk about mathematics with them.

No, Qin Kening Qingyun was chatting with Mr. Faltings, Professor Linden-Strauss, and Professor Thomson from Pudong University at the dinner party. Professor Tao came over again with a paper full of mathematical calculations. Excitedly said: "Qin Kening Qingyun, we discussed the problem of homotopy algebraic geometry 'semigroup objects' at noon, I came up with another derivation method, which is more concise, you two come and see if there is any improvement space?"

Professor Thomson stopped him, and said with a smile: "I said, Professor Tao, can you stop occupying Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun all day long?"

Professor Tao said embarrassedly: "Professor Thomson, isn't it rare for me to meet someone who can understand my thoughts so completely? When they return to China, it will not be so convenient to communicate by email."

"Yes, and I also benefited a lot from communicating with Professor Tao." Qin Ke smiled and took the piece of paper handed over by Professor Tao, and said to Ning Qingyun: "Jun'er, continue to chat with the seniors. , I will go to communicate with Professor Tao for a while, and I will be back in a while."

Qin Ke went there for more than half an hour. Ning Qingyun was not very good at communicating with people, so she could only chat with a few seniors without saying a word, but seeing the unconcealable excitement on Qin Ke's face, the corners of her mouth twitched. The son couldn't help showing a smile.

Professor Linden-Strauss laughed and said, "It's the first time I've seen Professor Tao so excited. When I was studying at Pudong University, Professor Tao was actually a quiet type. I guess he has a sense of pride. , except for the tutor, the rest of the students can't keep up with his thinking, which makes him not too lazy to talk. However, Professor Tao's involvement in various fields of mathematics is indeed very extensive. In my impression, only Qin Ke can keep up His mind and rhythm are up. The two of them, really alike."

Faltings suddenly said: "Not only."

"Oh?" Everyone looked at the old gentleman.

Faltins said slowly: "Qin Ke has even greater potential. This year he has successively broken the age records for winning the Mathematics Breakthrough Award and the Cole Number Theory Award. Next year's Fields Medal, his chances are not small... If I remember correctly, next year, Qin Ke will be 20 years old, right? The 20-year-old Fields Medal..."

Everyone knew that Faltings admired Qin Ke very much, but he didn't expect him to have such a high opinion of Qin Ke, and even thought that Qin Ke had a good chance of winning the Fields Medal.

Everyone couldn't help looking at Qin Ke who was chatting happily with Professor Tao not far away.

Ning Qingyun's eyes couldn't hide the pride. Yes, although Qin Ke is still far from Professor Tao, he has been able to conduct equal academic exchanges. In time, Qin Ke will surpass this internationally renowned mathematics super genius, It is not impossible.

Thinking that her boyfriend might be able to reach the top of mathematics at the age of 20 and win the world's top mathematics award, Ning Qingyun decided that if such a day came, she would wind up her scarf, like an ordinary girl, Show off your boyfriend.

After all, that would be her proudest day.

……

When Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were still busy accepting media interviews at the Berkeley campus of the University of California, or exchanging academic issues with Professor Tao, the domestic academic media were frantically reporting the news of their awards.

"Our country's mathematics field has been filled with medals again! Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun won the Cole Number Theory Award at the same time!
"The youngest winners of the Cole Prize in Number Theory in history were born. Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun broke the age record for the winners of the Cole Prize in Number Theory at the age of 19!"

"A day of glory, the young Chinese mathematicians Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun won the international award for the second time this year! Take the crown of the international number theory world into their arms!"

Not only the major news media, but even CC1 took nearly 30 seconds to broadcast the news in the evening news period, and the status of the Cop Cole Number Theory Award in the international mathematics community.

In addition, the We Media official account translated the full text of foreign media's interviews and commentary articles on the two, which caused an even bigger sensation on the Internet.

After all, no matter how much you boast in China, it is not as refreshing as the various compliments from the big international media.

For example, this comment from the Times Mathematics Pioneer: "Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun have won two mathematics awards in a row. Where will their next goal be? The Ramanujan Prize will never be their end!"

Another example is this news from the Chinese Paris Academic News: "No one can stop these two Xia students from reaching the top of mathematics!"

Is it very cool to hear?

Therefore, the two young gods of learning who were famous all over the country for a while became even more popular, surpassing the well-known traffic stars in the entertainment industry, and became the objects of admiration and admiration for countless students.

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun's hometown Yuanzhou City, from primary school to high school, each school put up banners, "Warmly celebrate the XX graduates of our school Qin Ke/Ning Qingyun won the International Mathematics Award Cole Number Theory Award."

Under such a spotlight of national attention, the media flocked to Yuanzhou to interview Qin Ke's teachers, classmates, and relatives. will be small.

In such a hustle and bustle, a special report was published, which ignited the atmosphere of the Internet.

"Began with Mathematics, But Not Just Mathematics! ——On the contributions of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun to the subject of computing experiments! "

The author of the special report is a senior reporter of "Xia Guo Academic Journal".And "Xia Guo Academic News" is the academic newspaper with the largest circulation in Xia Guoli. Almost all universities, high schools, junior high schools, and even elementary schools, as well as many cultural and scientific research institutes have subscriptions, and there are not a few families who actively subscribe.

The beginning of the report reads: "For the vast majority of people, they only pay attention to the fact that Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun won the international award again recently, but I noticed that the "Journal of Physics" at the end of July periodical, and simultaneously published three papers on computational fluid dynamics by Qin Ke (the second paper on computational fluid dynamics on oil-gas separation was co-authored by Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun), and the latest issue of "Journal of Xia Guo Biology" published "Research on the Cultivation Methods of Five New Tomato Seeds" co-authored by Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun."

"Because it is the summer vacation, most faculty members and students are on vacation, and it is estimated that these two academic journals are still eating ashes in the subscription boxes of most college mailrooms, but I think these four papers, especially those published in " The three computational fluid dynamics papers published in Acta Physica Acta are more meaningful to our country than the Cole Number Theory Award! Because these two talented students are promoting the development of computational experiments in China with their own efforts!"

"The so-called computational experiment discipline refers to the discipline that simulates, predicts, and deduces the experimental results through the combination of computer technology and mathematical modeling. They will all be named 'Computational XX Science'. With the development of computer technology, this Such subjects were popular for a while, but soon fell silent, and even most colleges and universities canceled these courses, because in the eyes of everyone, such subjects were not practical and too difficult.”

"However, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun have proved by facts that it is not that these subjects are not practical, but that other people have not really studied, delved into and mastered this subject, or that they do not have a good foundation in mathematics and computer technology. , it is impossible to really play the role of this kind of discipline.”

"I believe many people remember the scarves that Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun issued at the beginning of the year. Two young mathematicians, using mathematical modeling as a weapon, uncovered an academic fraud scandal involving an authoritative expert in the field of biological vaccines, but most people I don't even know that Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun also used mathematical modeling to make great contributions to experiments in physics and chemistry..."

The reporter who reported did a lot of hard work, and also interviewed many people, including their teachers, professors, and classmates, and enumerated the achievements of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun in computational biology, computational fluid dynamics, and computational materials science.

Finally, the report wrote: "In this issue of "Journal of Physics", academician Wen Yuanping, the vice president of the Academy of Sciences, wrote the following comments on Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun's three computational fluid dynamics— ——'Physics is inseparable from mathematics, and any physicist who does not pay attention to mathematics can hardly be called a real physicist. I hope that physics students and scholars who read these three papers can take the initiative to strengthen mathematics learning and improve Mathematics level, use mathematics to promote the progress of physics. I hope that the physicists in our country will win the Fields Medal one day.'”

"I believe that more and more colleges and universities will pay attention to and re-open the courses of computational experiments, and increase the construction of these subjects. I believe that in the near future, computers and mathematics will further promote the development of scientific experiments. "

"It can be said that Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun have promoted the application of mathematics in science experiments with their efforts!"

As soon as this article came out, it immediately caused a huge sensation.

Many university professors, researchers, and students can't wait to go back to school to get the paper versions of "Journal of Physics" and "Journal of Xia Guo Biology", and directly go to the official website to pay for the electronic version to read carefully, and then...

The time has come for countless people to suffer, and the comment area is filled with voices of bitterness and worship.

[Holy shit, the physics dog of Yanda Yanda University expressed a confused look on his face. Is this a physics paper or a mathematics paper? 】

[It's all mathematical modeling and derivation, I feel like my hair is falling out! 】

[Can I say weakly, I just closed the webpage silently after reading the conclusion? 】

[I, MIT, a graduate student in applied physics, said that the thesis is very good, although I only understand the physics part. 】

[Academician Wen is right, if you are not good at mathematics, you can't touch these three papers. 】

【...Is this the world of geniuses?Easily publish interdisciplinary papers in domestic core journals... The scumbag who is still worrying about his graduation thesis in his senior year is crying and fainting in the toilet. 】

[I'd better read the tomato paper.Um?Wait a minute, aren't Qin Shen and Ning students majoring in physics?How did you initiate the biological paper?Could there be... a ghostwriter? 】

[Upstairs, shut up, are Qin Shen and Ning such people?They don't bother to use other people's academic achievements to name them, let alone do so! 】

[That's right, haven't they always been holding prizes in the mathematics world as physics students!What is publishing a biology paper? (Funny dog ​​head)]

[I'm from a seed company. I recently heard a rumor that I didn't know was true or not—there are several new patents on tomato cultivation, which are in the names of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun.Now judging from this paper, I am afraid it is true. 】

……

When the country was full of turmoil, Qin Ke, who was about to return to the United States, encountered an unprecedented crisis.

　Thank you "Uji" for the reward!Thanks to "Daily K", "Han Jinlong's body-fitting and ultra-thin without leaking", "Empty City Dreams", "He Ziqiu", "Lost in Nine Heavens", and "The most charming night" for their rewards!
