Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Morning of 3 August.

The sky over St. Petersburg is clear and clear.

The conference hall of the Hotel Clincia, a crowd of heads, a sea of people.

Even if the conference hall is large enough, because there are too many people present, coupled with two security checks at the door, the entrance is still close to the shoulders and crowded aisles are almost untenable.

As in previous years, Professor Viana, Chairman of the Organizational Committee of the General Assembly, and Sam Seiwen, President of the International Mathematical Union, stood at the stage and delivered opening statements welcoming scholars from all over the country and thanking all sectors of Russian and St. Petersburg society for their support for the mathematics cause.

This was followed by the most exciting awards, awaited by all.

This segment can be said to be a major feature of the entire Conference, and it can even be said that a number of people are rushing to it.

The four types of awards to be awarded almost mark the supreme honor of the entire mathematical community. It can be said that the winner will receive one of them arbitrarily, and the path to mathematics for the rest of his life will be smooth.

Especially the Fields Award.

In contrast to the comforting nature and lifetime achievement awards that end in the second half of an academic career, the Fields Prize, which only allows people under the age of 40 to participate in the awards, is arguably the crown of countless mathematicians.

Most people admire hard work, but everyone yearns to be a genius.

This is especially true in the area of mathematics, which is a genius.

The ark in the crowd can be heard clearly, and people sitting next to it are arguing violently about who is likely to receive this supreme honor.

“Jody Williamson, Australia's youngest mathematician, built a purely algebraic Hodge theory about polynomial rings and successfully proved his assumptions about the Kazhdan-Lusztig of the Coke group, which he didn't get the last time, unfortunately, this should be his. ”

“… Marina Viazovska should also have the opportunity to extend the issue of 3-D sphere accumulation to 8-D and 24D in discrete geometry studies, and with these studies winning the 2017 Clay Research Award, the Larukin Award and the European Prize for Portfolio Science, my mentor describes her in two words: genius and incredible. She is 38 years old this year and will have no chance if she does not win again. ”

“Marina Viyazovska's research is indeed excellent, but the discrete geometry direction is too cold, and her mentor is not a famous scholar. In contrast, I prefer another Ukrainian mathematician and a woman. ”

“Who?”

“Proof of Horn Valley's conjecture, the winner of the last Cole and Ramanukin Awards and the European Mathematical Society Award, Vera Puyui. Both the research results and the mentors are top notch and from Princeton, and even if the jury doesn't consider her this time, she must be next. ”

“Damn, why is the Fields Award four years old? There are too many winners. ”

“Because with more hair, there is no gold content, we must select a truly brilliant scholar who can change the future of mathematics...”

The penultimate sentence was caught acutely, and the face of the ark showed a surprising expression.

Where he didn't know, so much had happened, and she hadn't even told him.

While understanding that she might want to surprise herself and perhaps think it's not worth mentioning at all, there is still a slight loss in the ark that she understands.

Without wishing to live up to the expectations of the participants present, Professor Mori Chongwen, standing on stage, did not keep people waiting. He stood up for the text of the speech in his hand, pushed the glasses on the nose beam and quickly entered the award process.

“First of all, the Gaussian Prize, I know you've been waiting a long time. ”

The moment this sentence is spoken.

The large venue was quiet as if silence had been achieved.

After looking around the hall, Professor Sam Zhongwen said slowly in a steady and solemn tone.

“We often say that mathematics is the foundation of natural and applied science, and its boundaries determine our understanding of the universe and ourselves. And yet, really in applied science, there are very few scholars who are able to integrate advanced mathematical approaches and use those tools cleverly to solve the big propositions about our future. ”

“I can spend the whole day describing his story, not even necessarily finishing it...”

Participants present listened attentively, as did the Ark.

Yet at this point, there was a disturbing complaint.

“… Oh, Shet, I've guessed who it is, just give him the prize! ”

Soon, someone whispered and summoned.

“Yeah, yeah, the least suspense of the Gaussian awards, let's get to the next one. ”

Ark: “…”

MMP!

Couldn't you just cooperate and wait a little longer to say that?

The surprise that was brewed up so easily is gone!

Looking over the side of the ark to see who was organizing themselves, but there were so many people here, looking at all the heads, I couldn't tell who said those two words.

On stage, Professor Sam Chongwen continued.

“… as he said, our science is changing the world, and math will change our science! ”

“The winner is...”

“The Ark! ”

Lady-like applause sounded.

Standing up in a round of applause, he took a deep breath of the ark, walked smoothly to the stage and took the medal from Professor Mori's hand.

His right hand patted gently on the arm of the ark, and the old professor nodded with a friendly smile on his face.

“Congratulations, young scholar, we meet again. ”

Although applied science has little place in mathematics, the Burbaki school, which occupies a higher voice in mathematics, is more honored by the “uselessness” and “purity” of mathematics. Scholars like Hardy and Grotendick have all publicly expressed the view that mathematics is pure and great.

But in any case, applied science is indeed part of mathematics, and even scholars like Hardy and Grotendik who practise "glorious isolation” are ultimately embodied in other disciplines.

And the Gaussian Prize exists to reward this kind of scholar.

“Thank you, and I'm glad to see you again," he shook his hand with the old scholar and continued with a smile on the ark, “I'm sure we'll see each other again. ”

Upon hearing this, Professor Sam Zhongwen was obviously stunned and laughed.

“Are you referring to… occasions like this? It's a shame that before you turn 70, we won't have any more medals to give you, and when you turn 70, I'm afraid I'm not in this world anymore. ”

Ark: “Isn't there another Riva Lati prize? ”

Professor Mori coughed dry: "… please give other people who love math careers a chance, OK Professor Lu, please go down. ”

Ark: “…”

The Chen Province Mathematics Award is a lifetime achievement that is temporarily unthinkable. It is not yet time to go forward. However, the Ark feels that it is a little hopeful to recognize the Nai Wang Lina Award for mathematical science in computers. And the Riva Lati Award, which recognizes the universal cause of mathematics, is totally theatrical.

He remembers how many elementary schools the last Turks to receive this award seemed to have built in remote mountainous areas (desert areas)?

How many elementary schools are your own contribution to the cause of universal mathematics, why can't you participate in the award?

Though not really concerned about the medal, the ark was still a little upset.

After stepping down, he sat in the front row among the Gaussian laureates, waiting quietly for the ceremony to continue.

This was followed by the Chen Province Mathematics Award, which is a lifelong achievement in nature, and the Rivarati Award, which rewards “ordinary people" who have made outstanding contributions to the cause of science.

The atmosphere in the venue was pushed one wave at a time towards the high chao, especially at the start of the awards ceremony for the Fields Awards, when the atmosphere reached its peak.

Sitting in the front row, you can even feel the canoe with its back to the hall, that pair of eyes focused on the stage, as if you could light something...

In the face of the expectations of many, Professor Sam Chongwen continued to speak.

And almost as soon as the professor opened his mouth and sat in the front row of the ark, the whole thing was frozen.

“Mathematics is an ancient discipline whose history spans almost the entire history of mathematics, and the classic propositions that have been and have not been resolved are arguably the origins of all the knowledge we have acquired so far. ”

“Few people can achieve truly remarkable results in this field, and a mountain is a spectacular mountain, except for those warriors who look like torches and are determined in their faith. ”

“… she proved the existence of the whole function h (z) by constructing a clever transcendent function, and {g ^ ok (z0)} ∞ k = 1 converged to 1, thereby proving the establishment of the Horn Valley conjecture that haunted us for many years and refining the theory of group law. ”

“The first winner of the Fields Award--”

“Professor Vera Puyey from Princeton University! ”

The thunderous applause, like a storm, struck the eardrum of a landing boat, also messing him up in the wind.

Vera?

It's not that he hasn't considered that possibility.

But it's all so sudden!

There is no doubt that she is a brilliant scholar, and that mathematical research can add points to such awards, which is not a problem, but she is too young anyway.

If the ark remembers correctly, she got her PhD when she left Princeton, when she was only 22.

And now, four years later, she's only 26...

Of course, it's not just the news that Vera won the prize that really kept the ship out of sight.

Almost at the same time, a line of light blue text appeared in his field of view.

[Congratulations host, unlock hidden achievements!

[Please check your reward in the system space!
