Chapter 180 IMO Opening Ceremony! (Ask for a monthly ticket at the beginning of the month!!)
7 month 8 day.

The opening ceremony of the IMO event.

114 players from 684 countries around the world, as well as vice-teams and inspectors from various countries, gathered at the open-air playground of the University of Bath in the British Empire. Thousands of seats have been arranged here, and at this moment, these seats are almost full.

Under the rostrum, there are contestants from various countries. Some of them have yellow skin, some have white skin, some have dark skin, different skin colors have different hair colors and hairstyles, some have natural curly hair, some are bald, Some have black hair, and they all represent the strongest in mathematics among the younger generation in various countries.

They are all one-in-a-million players, elites carefully selected from various countries.

Now they are gathered in the city of Bath, where they will listen to the rules and regulations of the IMO event and make some speeches.

In this sacred place, there is no war in their hearts, only the love for mathematics.

Here, everything becomes sacred, people yearn for peace, and look forward to a high level of mathematics.

On the podium are well-known mathematics experts from around the world.

"Next, we invite Professor Andrew Wiles of the Royal Society of London to explain the rules and systems of the competition to us."

"Clap clap clap!!"

"Clap clap clap!!"

"Clap clap clap clap!!!"

At this moment, the applause below was thunderous and lasted for a long time. This is their highest respect for mathematics.

"Fang Chao, it's Andrew Wiles. How the hell am I able to meet a real person in such a place? Am I dreaming? It's incredible. I thought this kind of thing could only be seen on TV. Didn't expect to see him at the University of Bath."

"The old man is the most powerful contemporary mathematician in London. He broke Fermat's last theorem, which has not been broken for more than 300 years. It is also because of this that Andrew Wiles became famous overnight and became a hot in the world. He is also known as the only mathematician in London. It is conceivable how lofty his status is. I really did not expect that I could see him. I could see his blinking eyes. I can see his sparse hair, I can even see the pores on his face, he is a real person..."

"Of course it's a real person."

Fang Chao said angrily. In fact, his mood was not any calmer than that of Zhang Tiannan. He could feel the enthusiasm of the people around him for Andrew Wiles, which was different from ordinary star chasing.

Is Andrew Wiles a star?

Yes!
In this moment, no, in every moment, he is a star.

The definition of a star refers to a person who has a certain influence in a certain field.

Andrew Wiles was a star when he solved Fermat's Last Theorem.

The Sixth Patriarch Huineng once said that truth is like the bright moon in the sky, and words are just fingers pointing to the moon.A finger can point to the bright moon, but the finger is not the bright moon.

The star is the finger that points to the truth. Fans can see the brilliance of truth and the immortal soul along the finger. As for which finger points to the moon, it doesn't matter.

When fans are chasing stars, what they really should get is the truth behind the stars.Whether it's the positive energy of the characters or the promotion and publicity of the stars themselves.

At this moment, above the rostrum, Andrew Wiles is a star, and the contestants below are all fans. What they are after is the energy of Andrew Wiles, which is the enthusiasm for mathematics. A philosophy of great respect for mathematics.

After counting 10 minutes, Andrew Wiles made his closing remarks and sat down.

This man with countless badges on his body was not the protagonist of today, but when he finished speaking, the thunderous applause continued, and it lasted for nearly 3 minutes before slowly subsiding.

“Next, let’s welcome back Professor Karen Uhlenbeck and let her make a few remarks.”

"Clap clap clap!!"

"Clap clap clap!!"

"Clap clap clap clap!!!"

The same thunderous applause, but this time, the most excited person in the group of six was none other than Chen Qin.

She said excitedly, "It's Karen Uhlenbeck, it's really her, I'm so excited, I didn't expect to see her here, she is my idol..."

This time, Fang Chao was a little surprised. He didn't know Karen Uhlenbeck.

"She is?"

Chen Qin was not angry because Fang Chao didn't know Karen Uhlenbeck, but explained to him, "It's normal that you don't know Karen Uhlenbeck, because few people knew about her before, but she was The first female mathematician to win the Albert Award, you know the Albert Award? This is the highest award among all mathematics awards, because there is no mathematics award in the Nobel Prize, so the Albert Award is equivalent to the mathematics award The Nobel Prize, its gold content is absolutely high, and it is an award that can be obtained by talents who have made great contributions to mathematics, so she is my idol, and I want to learn from her and make continuous progress in the direction of her."

"If there is a chance, I really want to meet her at Princeton University, get an autograph, or study mathematics with her. It must be a very wonderful thing."

She's actually at Princeton University?

Fang Chao was taken aback, seeing Chen Qin's excited expression, he couldn't help saying, "If there is a chance, I will help you get her autograph."

"Really?"

"If there is a chance, I will definitely help you!"

"Thank you."

After this competition, it was unknown whether the two parties could meet each other, but Fang Chao's promise to her still made Chen Qin very happy.

Fang Chao had no way to give Chen Qin an accurate reply, so he could only do his best, because it was still unknown whether he could go to Princeton, and even if he went to Princeton, he would have to wait for Karen Uhlenbeck's autograph if he wanted to. Whether the other party is willing or not.

on the rostrum.

Karen Uhlenbeck still has her say.

This mathematician came from the American Empire. Because she was the first female mathematician to win the Albert Prize, the British Empire tried every means to invite her. I heard that it was the person in charge of the IMO competition who invited her, Karen Uren. Baker agreed without thinking, and thus the scene where she appeared here today occurred.

She was speaking in fluent American English.

"I think mathematics has no national boundaries, no geographical distinction, and no distinction between men and women. Someone once told me that only male mathematicians win the Albert Prize. I didn't believe it, so I also won an Albert Prize..."
