Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Chapter 1018: Talented Talents (1/3)

Vera Pujoy!

Winners as young as 26 years old!

Although Professor Lu's record has not been broken, this age is also quite rare.

And it's not just her age, it's her gender that surprises people the most.

The only female mathematician to have won the Fields Prize before that was Mariam Mirzahani, an Iranian professor at Stanford University, but unfortunately, the second year after the award, in 2017, she died of breast cancer.

She will arguably be the only existing Female Fields Award winner in the world.

“The Fields Prize is getting younger. First Schultz, then Professor Lu, then this Vera Puyui..."

Looking at that young and beautiful figure on the stage, Xu Chenyang sat under the stage clapping his hands and said with a slight sentiment, "Sometimes I look at these young people coming out one by one, and I really feel old. ”

Four years ago, it was his last chance to touch the Fields medal.

Yet there was little suspense, and he was eventually missed.

It's nothing to be sorry about, after all, the Filtz Prize is for the entire mathematical community, and it's only been chosen once every four years. Unless the division is distinguished, there must be results that shock the world, and if both are combined, they are naturally stable.

For example, the Ark, the Master Cheng Grotendic, the mentor was the top bull of the day like Deligne, and Gothenbach guessed such a remarkable achievement, even without the subsequent NS equation, the International Union of Mathematicians could not have kept him waiting.

And Schultz, though mentor Michelle... Rapoport is not a bull of any particular name, but at least he came from the University of Bonn, a faction of Faltines, and his theory of "perfect space” is almost one of the most promising directions in many directions of algebraic geometry, and it makes sense to win the Filtz Prize. Nevertheless, he did not receive his medal until 18 years.

In its own words, although it has a strong reputation in domestic mathematics, it can only be regarded as a quasi-first-line scholar at the international level, and there is still a considerable gap from the top.

Besides, even to consider his name, you should first consider Zhang Yi sitting next to him.

Regardless of his connections in international academia or his own strength, this big man is a little better than him...

When I heard this sentiment from my friend, Zhang Wei also felt the resonance point below and sighed softly.

“Yeah, time passes so fast. ”

Four years have passed by.

Almost unconsciously, he has changed from a young scholar to a middle-aged scholar.

It's like, as if yesterday they were the hope of a new generation in the eyes of older mathematicians, but today they are the seniors in the eyes of new people.

Xu Chenyang smiled: “The Jiangshan Dynasty has talented people, leading the wind for centuries... but I still find it incredible. If you say that person is only good, I didn't expect the students he taught to be so good, it would be too counterproductive. ”

Zhang Yu shook his head and said: “It's no wonder, that Vera Puyui, I remember that she herself was the gold medal of an IMO competition. The entire scholarship was sent to Berkeley, and then she went directly to Princeton with Tao Zhexuan's recommendation. To reach this point, it can only be said that she herself did not abandon her talents, nor did the people who taught her live up to her potential. ”

The IMO Gold Medal itself is a frequent venue for the Filtz Prize. Students are good seedlings and teachers are the number one and two players in mathematics. If you can't win the Filtz Prize, it's a strange thing.

The only surprising thing to say may be her gender and age.

Xu Chenyang exclaimed: “We also won a lot of gold medals from the IMO competition. There is also a young man with a full score this time. It is not known when we in the mathematics world of China will be able to add another Fields Award. ”

Although the Ark has broken the record of the 0 Fields Award for Mathematics in China, it is clear to Xu Chenyang that this momentum is difficult to sustain.

Like Ramanukin in Indian mathematics, although India has had a number of distinguished mathematicians, it can only look in front of Ramanukin and not even think about catching up.

“There will be a chance," patted his friend on the shoulder, Zhang Wei smiled and said, “Didn't our Professor Lu return to teach? Now it's only been four years, the leek seedlings have just grown up, and after another decade and five years, I'm sure our academia will produce a great talent! ”

Not only the capabilities of the Ark itself, but also the dramatic changes that have taken place in the academic world of China over the years.

He can clearly feel in various ways that Professor Lu's achievements are increasing the importance attached to the role of mathematics in all sectors of Chinese society and even at the highest levels of the country.

The more basic the discipline, the more the support of all sectors of society is indispensable.

Today, the overall academic environment in the country is unprecedented in recognizing the contribution of this basic discipline of mathematics to the development of applied science.

Ten years ago, it was hard to imagine.

At the height of the times, the impact of this change on the future of the mathematical community in China is far more profound than a few students he brought out, or even solved a number of actual problems...

Another time in the hall, his gaze was locked on the stage, and from the beginning of the awards ceremony, the silent Master Wang Shicheng gradually appeared with a clear expression on his face.

If only a few days ago, his heart was still upset that the Ark had taken a good seedling from him.

So now, all of a sudden, he thinks it doesn't seem too bad.

Yan Da International Mathematics Research Center has been established for many years. Although it has also trained a number of excellent scholars to deliver a lot of fresh blood to the mathematics cause in China, not many of the talents that have been cultivated can truly be considered top notch.

If this guy is really capable of teaching a Fields Award-level scholar...

Maybe the good seedlings that got the full score at the IMO Competition are really buried when they get here.

Not too far from the seat of the king's academician, Professor Deligne sitting under the stage, but at this moment in mind is another feeling.

After staring at the little girl on the stage for a while, the old gentleman hummed softly with his nose and suddenly said: "... I didn't expect them to choose Miss Pouille. ”

Hearing a slight dissatisfaction in this tone, Professor Feverman, sitting next to him, laughed and said, “In terms of academic achievement, it proves that Horn Valley is already a first-rate scholar. With or without the help of an ark, or how much, but only from the summary of the work in the paper, the vast majority of the attestation work was done by her alone. ”

Looking at Feverman, Deligne said, "Are you sure there's no politically correct element in this? ”

Pressured by this gaze, I wanted to give this matter to Professor Feverman, who revealed it with a kind lie, with a helpless expression on his face.

“… well, we have considered these factors as well. Actually, Miss Marina Viazovska is also a good choice, but with her academic achievements, she may be a little tough to match. ”

Professor Deligne suddenly said, "This was not the case in mathematics before. ”

He had no objection to awarding the Fields Prize to Vera, nor to denying that Vera was a brilliant scholar, but he was somewhat dissatisfied with the current shift in mathematics, which was becoming more and more worldly and more concerned with the opinions of those who were irrelevant.

A long time ago, they considered whether a scholar was good or not and would only consider his contribution to academia.

But now they have to take into account the nationality, colour, sex, even political background and position of the winners. While these are not enough to dictate the Fields Prize itself for the time being, they have indeed become a bonus item on the ground.

Academic freedom and independence are gradually becoming a piece of paper to wipe your ass, the more you wrinkle...

Understanding the sentiments of his old friend, Professor Feverman shrugged his shoulders and said comfortingly: “Times are moving forward, whether we want to accept it or not, to a large extent we can only adapt to this change...”

“Besides, are we not the only ones forced to adapt to the trends of our times? ”

Deligne glanced at him.

“Do you think that's okay? ”

Feverman: “Let's leave this to the future. ”

……

Applause on the field thundered.

But at this moment, sitting in the middle of a storm, the ark is deafening.

Not because he passed out excitedly, but because his consciousness had entered the system space by now.

[Congratulations host, “Master Gao" Achievement accomplished!

[Conditions: Develop a student with the highest level of honors in the discipline taught!

[Reward: 100,000 disciplinary experience, sample "Void Memory a” (rare)!

Void memory?

Or is it "rare”?

And that a, which means there's a series of b, c, d?

Looking at this line of rewards popping up in the holographic screen, the ark was obviously stunned.

Although the system has made a lot of bad jokes with him, such as the fact that the “egg” is really just a colored egg with no egg, but seeing this carefree name, his instincts tell him that it's not easy.

Without any hesitation, the ark turned off the reward prompt and opened the item bar without even confirming the properties panel.

After all, it's only 100,000 years of mathematical experience. Put it in the experience trough of mathematics disciplines in millions. Let alone a cup of water truck salary. It's probably the kind that rubs outside, so people don't know if the experience actually went in.

The item bar opens quickly.

Floating on that cold, metallic interface is a deep to disturbing purple color.

It is difficult to describe what shape it is exactly, a tentacle like an illusory mist wrapped around a spherical contour, as if guarding the shadows and secrets that lie deep in the core.

He swallowed a spit, and the ark raised his right hand, his index finger probing the icon and dotted the past.

Unlike usual, however, there is no indication that the text jumps out in front of him, replacing it with a shock-like tingle that passes along his fingertips.

“Hiss ——! ”

It hurts!!!

This is also the first time that an ark creates this redundant sensation of pain in system space.

Instead of retreating the ark, however, this tingling sensation brought a hint of interest to that contemplative face.

“It's kind of interesting...”

“… I thought there was only an abstract body of consciousness in the system space, similar to a dream, and I didn't expect to be able to feel pain here. ”

My curiosity about this thing is getting stronger and stronger.

Maybe grabbing it hard is the right way to open it?

However, even if there was a heart to try, the Ark did not do so immediately.

Now his own body is still on the scene at the IMU convention.

It's hard to say if this will have any physical impact on your body in real life.

In situations where risks are uncertain, caution is advisable.

At least, we need to find a quiet environment first...
