Chapter 110 Recognition by top international mathematicians
“Originally I thought your paper was perfect enough, but I didn’t expect your academic report to be even more exciting. Wang Donglai, you are indeed an outstanding scholar, your talent Among the people I have ever met, he ranks among the top three.”
As soon as the old white man in the video opened his mouth, he praised and praised Wang Donglai.
Everyone present could also see that he really thought so, and it was not a false politeness.
What's more, with this person's status, there is no need to be polite at all.
In fact, everyone can understand the old man's thoughts. As a top mathematician, he will naturally be happy when he sees the world's problems being solved and new geniuses emerging in the mathematical world.
Mathematics will develop only if there are successors!
The old man is John Nash from the Department of Mathematics at Princeton.
The doctoral thesis at the age of 21 proposed the ‘Nash Equilibrium’, which also laid the foundation for winning the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1994.
In the 1970s and 1980s, his name appeared in various fields such as economics textbooks, evolutionary biology textbooks, political science monographs, and mathematics journals. He was definitely the boss among the bosses.
Moreover, his name has become a noun in economics or mathematics, such as 'Nash equilibrium', 'Nash negotiation solution', 'Nash procedure', 'DeGeorge-Nash result', 'Nash embedding' and 'Nash rupture' 'wait.
“Thank you Professor John for your recognition of me.”
Wang Donglai replied politely.
“Originally, I was planning to attend your academic report in person, but my body did not allow me to do so, so I could only watch your academic report online. I regret that I could not communicate with you in person. Your excellence reminds me of another genius, Tao, who, like you, is also a genius in mathematics. I very much hope that you can be like him and not waste your talent."
In the video. John Nash's eyes were bright and he said this to Wang Donglai with great sincerity.
After hearing these words, everyone present immediately understood what he meant.
The Tao mentioned by John Nash is indeed a genius, but when he mentions it at this time, it has a different meaning.
Because that classmate Tao received a bachelor's degree from Flinders University at the age of 16, a master's degree from Flinders University at the age of 17, and then studied at Princeton, graduating with a doctorate at the age of 21.
The meaning is very obvious. In fact, he is inviting Wang Donglai to study at Princeton, but it is just a little more subtle.
“Thank you very much for your concern, Professor John. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely visit you and ask you some math questions.”
Wang Donglai did not directly refuse or agree. Instead, he acted as if he did not understand and responded according to etiquette.
“I’m looking forward to your arrival!”
John Nash was not disappointed, but responded with a smile.
The online video connection definitely couldn’t be just that one person, and soon the connection was reconnected.
This time, the person who appeared in the video made everyone confused for the first time.
All I saw was that the man in the video was unkempt and disheveled. If he hadn't been well-dressed, he might have been mistaken for a homeless man.
It only took a few breaths for someone to recognize this person.
“Perelman!”
A cry of surprise sounded in the academic lecture hall and online at the same time.
As soon as this name came out, everyone suddenly came face to face with the figure in their memory.
Only some people who are not in the field of mathematics and who don't care much about major foreign affairs are still confused and don't know who this person is.
Seeing this, knowledgeable people started to explain.
"Perelman, like Wang Donglai, also cracked the Poincaré conjecture, a world mathematical problem."
With this sentence, everyone immediately searched on the Internet stand up.
After this search, everyone was shocked.
He has been a child prodigy since he was a child and has won numerous honors as he grows up.
Successfully cracked the Poincaré conjecture, but did not publish a paper in an authoritative journal.
Rejected multiple times to claim the million dollar prize.
In 2006, he was listed as the winner of the 'Fields' Nobel Prize in Mathematics. As a result, when the King of Spain was about to award him the award in front of 3,000 world-class mathematicians, he was in the huge Missing honors and prizes again.
Not only a master of mathematics, but also a hermit who is not interested in fame and fortune. Ordinary people may not feel that much, but people in the field of mathematics find it a bit incredible. No one can find a great master like Perelman, and he doesn't practice much with people in the mainstream mathematics community. As a result, he will take the initiative to appear here. .
Soon, everyone thought of the reason.
That is, both Wang Donglai and Perelman have one thing in common, that is, they have both solved a world-class mathematical problem.
Heroes who cherish heroes will naturally pay attention to Wang Donglai, and online video meetings are considered normal.
After Perelman appeared, he didn't even look at anyone else and just kept talking to Wang Donglai.
He opened his mouth to share some of his thoughts with Wang Donglai.
Some of the graduate students present could not understand the content of the chat between the two. They looked around blankly, and the doctoral students frowned, as if they were having a hard time listening.
Even the university professors frowned slightly and looked extremely serious, obviously listening attentively.
Only the scholars sitting in the front row can easily keep up with the rhythm of the two people's exchanges.
Seeing this, the postgraduate students at Tangdu Jiaotong University breathed a sigh of relief at first. After they realized what they were doing, they let out a long sigh and felt frustrated.
The exchange between the two did not last long, only about ten minutes. Perelman said with admiration: "Your mathematical skills are very good. It is completely natural to prove the ABC conjecture. I am beginning to look forward to you." The next achievement is what happened.”
Wang Donglai was not surprised that Perelman would appear, because he had received Perelman’s email before, and the two communicated briefly via email. Ichiban.
Therefore, the presence of Perelman in the online video connection did not exceed Wang Donglai's expectations at all.
“I believe you will not be disappointed.”
“If you want to look around, I recommend you to come to China. This is a land full of history and it is definitely worth your time. Come and visit!”
Wang Donglai actually knew that Perelman was unlikely to come to China, but he still tried to invite him.
Perelman did not answer, but pondered for a moment before saying: "If you make any breakthrough discoveries next time, then I think I will come to China to communicate with you face to face. ."
After hearing this answer, Wang Donglai's eyes lit up and he immediately said with certainty: "Okay, this day will not be too far away!"
Soon, he prepared a video. Wire object.
However, at this moment, a scholar sitting in the front row suddenly stood up, took the microphone and started talking.
"Wang Donglai, we have a professor at Beijing University who wants to communicate with you. I wonder if you dare?"
This sudden change immediately attracted everyone's attention.
When everyone saw the person who made the noise, it only took a moment for everyone to suddenly realize.
It turned out that this person was a professor from Peking University in the Sakura Country next door, and in line with what he said, everyone also remembered what happened before.
In an instant, many people’s eyes brightened.
One person claimed to have cracked it and proved the ABC conjecture, but no one understood the paper.
Another paper is refined, and the proof process is recognized by everyone.
It would be interesting if these two people argued.
On the podium, Wang Donglai was not surprised by this scene.
It was even his suggestion to Xu Songyao that Peking University was able to participate in the seminar, and that was why professors and scholars from Peking University appeared here.
"Okay, I would like to see what the professor from Peking University has to say."
Wang Donglai said with a smile on his face, without any worry, and handed over the choice of video connection to the professor at Peking University.
Soon, a person appeared on the video link.
This person is exactly...
Please support me, I still have it at night... I have to update even if I stay up late
