Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

The Crawford Prize ceremony is over, but the Crawford Prize celebration is just beginning.

After the awards ceremony, the ark walked out the front door of the Stockholm Concert Hall and was about to board a private bus to nearby Stockholm City Hall.

However, as soon as he appeared at the door, the journalists, who had been ambushed for a long time, came together with a variety of microphones and lenses.

Only a good-looking journalist lady grabbed at the front and asked quickly.

“Hello, Mr. Ark, I'm a CTV reporter. May I interview you? ”

CTV?

Originally, the Ark didn't really want to be interviewed, but CTV certainly had to give it a little face.

After all, it must have been positive.

Looking at the young woman reporter, the ark and the colorful reply: "Sure. ”

The female reporter smiled and asked, "As the first Chinese nationalist to receive the award, how do you feel now? Any thoughts? ”

“Excited, joyful, and grateful…”

The ark paused for a moment and thanked him for every name he could think of that helped him.

"As we all know, Goldbach's guess is one of the crowns of mathematics, and Chen Jingrun's story with '1 +2’ once inspired a generation of Chinese students' enthusiasm for mathematics. Now the building is finally covered by you, and many people are still confused about the significance of solving the '1 +1' problem. So what does mathematics mean to you? ”

Instead of answering the question directly, after a moment of reflection, the Ark suddenly asked, "What do you think science means? ”

The reporter didn't expect the ark to suddenly ask back, but Guan Er smiled and replied fluently: "I think it should change the world. All the wealth that modern society possesses is based on scientific and technological breakthroughs. ”

The ark nodded in praise.

Not bad, this reporter is a bit of a skilled reporter.

At least better than the ones he's dealt with before.

So he's happy to talk to reporters like that.

What is the meaning of mathematics?

Just to pretend?

Of course not.

Even if that might be the case in the process, the Ark felt that it was not the main thing for him, like a by-product of a chemical reaction.

It's like mathematicians are usually handsome, but handsome isn't the reason he's good at math.

As for the purest meaning of mathematics...

In front of countless shots, the ark laughed and said to her.

“You're right, the significance of science is with changing the world. ”

“And mathematics is about changing science. ”

……

Like the Nobel Prize, the Crawford Prize ceremony was followed by a grand celebration feast in the Blue Hall, the first floor ballroom of Stockholm City Hall.

Including the King and Queen of Sweden, as well as many scientists from the Academy of Sciences, all came together to share the beauty of science in a warm atmosphere.

In this sense, the Crawford Prize is like a rehearsal of the Nobel Prize, probably trying to get the mathematician of the Nobel Prize past his addiction.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences followed the Nobel Prize, at least in terms of the size of the banquet, in order for the prize to be established.

For example, before the banquet begins, the dishes at the banquet are absolutely confidential.

For example, banquets and prom occasions are strictly separated, dining in the Blue Hall, and prom in the Gold Hall. And stipulating that everyone's seats are fixed… this is somewhat different from the current mainstream British and American academic conferences.

Before the banquet officially began, the ark met a number of acquaintances and greeted each other.

Such as Schultz, such as Helfcott...

Too far apart or too busy studying may not be possible, but European mathematicians, especially those studying the direction of prime numbers, are basically here.

In fact, the Ark found that the academic conference had been attended more, that the mathematician circle was so big that if we went in a certain direction, some bulls could even count their fingers.

But the presence of a big man was unexpected for an ark.

This man is Faltines, the bull in algebraic geometry.

His name, once left a legend in Princeton.

It was because, 94 years later, he had been a professor in Princeton for almost a decade, and had returned to his native Germany.

As of now, he is the director of the Max Planck Institute of Mathematics and editor-in-chief of Inventiones, one of the four top issues in mathematics.

Though Maple is not as famous as Princeton, it is also well placed in the rankings of world research institutions. Especially in the field of physics and engineering, Maple is undergoing a very modest project, but not yet.

In contrast to the humility of Cartier Charles Feverman, Faltines' "Germanic complacency," the legend left in Princeton is no less impressive than its achievements in mathematics.

On one occasion, he was said to have played chess with Peter Sanak (the Princeton County Bull mentioned earlier) and lost. The old man didn't panic and left a line by the countless Princetons: “You-are-better-on-chess, but-I 'm-a-much-better-mathematican. ”

The straightforward translation is: You play well, but I hang more math than you do.

Anyway, this old Germain is very difficult to get along with, but he does have a proud capital as well. After all, after the death of Grotendik, the throne of algebraic geometry is now difficult to say, leaving it to history to judge. But the one who can argue with him is probably Grotendik's high school student, Deligne.

As for the Ark and his only intersection, it's probably that paper on Gothenbach's proof of conjecture. As one of the six reviewers, Mr. Fartings had made two modifications on his own, and the angle was rather harsh.

I have to admit that the mathematical skills and rigour of mathematics of the old man are indeed impressive. Although both modifications of the ark were completed smoothly, it was quite a bit of work in the meantime.

And quite coincidentally, the old gentleman's seat was right next to him.

The most surprising thing about the ark was that while he was considering disturbing the elderly's meal, Faltines reached out and picked up the champagne and spoke to him on his own initiative.

“Congratulations on the Crawford Prize, Professor Ark. ”

“Thanks!”

Deeply surprised, the ark and the old gentleman gently touched a cup.

Gracefully tasted the champagne, only old Germain paused, slowly continuing.

“A month ago, only three of today's mathematicians had hope of surpassing me. Now I changed my mind, four, not three. ”

When I heard that, the ark was barely choked by the champagne that had just been drunk.

Grass!

Is this bragging or pretending?

I feel like I'm touching an opponent...
