Chapter 252 Sitting in rows, dividing the fruits
The annual meeting of the Huaguo Mathematical Society is often a good opportunity for big bosses from all parties to communicate.
At the same time, it is a place where universities can demonstrate their academic capabilities.
The reason why Qingbei is unique in the country is reflected in all aspects.
This is true from the country’s attention, to the funds allocated, to the school’s teaching staff.
From the simplest data, there are more than 40 academicians in Qingbei, while several top domestic universities under Qingbei only have a dozen academicians. As for Tangdu Jiaotong University, there are only Single digit academicians.
The reason why Wang Donglai was so valued by Tang Capital Jiaotong University was because he was an academician.
Not only that, the ability shown by Wang Donglai, if done well, can bring out a few more academicians as long as it can make big projects.
This is what Zheng Hua and Xu Songyao value.
As an academician, Xu Songyao’s purpose of coming to the Chinese Mathematical Society is actually very simple, that is, to support Wang Donglai.
Now that Wang Donglai has obtained the quota for outstanding youth, the next step is to prepare to publish more papers, accumulate projects, and prepare for the selection of academicians.
The award from the Huaguo Mathematical Society is also a first-class honor in the country, and will also be beneficial to Wang Donglai's future academician selection.
That’s why Xu Songyao brought Wang Dong to participate.
Before the academic conference started, Xu Songyao talked to Wang Dong about the candidates for the grand prize of this academic conference.
“You also know the difference between the Chung Jiaqing Mathematics Award, the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award and the Hua Luogeng Mathematics Award, so I won’t say more.”
"However, you can be a little concerned about the recipients of these awards."
"Because the awards are different, the winners of the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award are all your peers. For you, it is enough to get to know them a little bit. "
"But the Hua Luogeng Mathematics Prize is different. You can pay more attention."
"This time the Hua Luogeng Mathematics Prize will probably be awarded to Academician Liu Ming of Sichuan University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Lin Jun Academician."
"Let me tell you about Academician Liu Ming first. He is mainly engaged in research on topology and mathematical treatment of uncertainty, and has laid the foundation for the bitification school of lattice topology. , and achieved breakthroughs in embedding theory, compactification theory, and lattice-valued Hahn-Dieudonne insertion theorem. He was known as China’s Chad and was elected as an academician of the Academy of Sciences in 1995. ”
"This time the award is awarded to Academician Liu Ming, and he is well-deserved."
"As for another Academician Lin Jun, he is mainly engaged in computational mathematics and finite element analysis research. He proposed the integral equation super One of the authors of Convergence was elected as an academician of the Academy of Sciences in 1993. "
"I am telling you this. I want to tell you that it is not that easy for the Huaguo Mathematics Association. Every award is the result of careful consideration and repeated consideration. "
"China has its own national conditions, and you are young and energetic. I’m telling you this just because I’m afraid you might have some ideas.”
Wang Donglai naturally understands Xu Songyao’s good intentions.
Two senior academicians came to receive the Hua Luogeng Mathematics Award, which shows how competitive these awards are.
There must be academic ability, but if you say that there is no non-academic thing at play, Wang Donglai won't believe anything.
If you look carefully at the list of previous winners, you can find some clues.
However, Wang Donglai thought very clearly that he did need honor, but it did not mean that he needed to feel wronged.
Just like a Fields Medal, you can change your destiny with your true power.
If the Fields Medal does not award itself to him, then Wang Donglai will refuse to receive future Fields Medals.
At the same time, he will use his academic talents to snipe the selection of this award.
Of course, this is the last resort.
Fortunately, the International Mathematical Union did not make the wrong choice.
"Uncle Xu, I understand what you said."
"I didn't think of anything else!"
Wang Donglai looked at the banner hanging behind the rostrum and said calmly.
“Yes.”
Xu Songyao nodded and said no more.
……
When the time came to nine o'clock, the conference officially began. Participants in the academic meeting include Academician Huang Yun, Chairman of the Huaguo Mathematical Society, Academician Ma Ming, former Chairman of the Huaguo Mathematical Society, Academicians Liu Ming, Lin Jun, Cui Zhi, Zhong Ci, Yan An, and Xi of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Academician Hua, Academician Xu Songyao, as well as Professor Geng Sicheng, Chairman of the Shandong Provincial Mathematical Society, Yang Jian and Vice President of Makino Normal University, Yang Jian and Wang Lin, the third leader of Makino City, attended.
A group of big names came up to the stage and took their seats, adding splendor to the Chinese Mathematical Society.
Like other conferences, there will be an opening ceremony first.
The opening ceremony was hosted by Professor Zhang Li, Secretary General of the Chinese Mathematical Society.
The opening speech was delivered by Huang Yun, Secretary and Chairman of the Chinese Mathematical Society.
Immediately afterwards, Geng Sicheng, chairman of the Huaguo Shandong Mathematical Society, introduced the basic content and situation of the meeting.
The third-in-command of Makino City also introduced the economic and social development and educational status of Makino City, hoping to provide more support and help to Makino City in the research and development of related subject fields with the participating experts.
This is the biggest reason why Makino Normal University can apply to host the Chinese Mathematical Society.
Makino City officials personally took action, so they decided on this matter in order to use the power of so many experts to help the development of Makino City.
After the third-in-command of Makino City finished speaking, Yang Jian, the president of Makino Normal University, a local landlord, delivered a speech.
The speech is not long, only one or two minutes.
More than 600 people were sitting in the audience, listening quietly to the speeches of the leaders above. After Yang Jian finished speaking, warm applause immediately broke out.
The opening ceremony has officially ended, and now comes the part that everyone is looking forward to.
The Chung Jiaqing Mathematics Prize, the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Prize and the Hua Luogeng Mathematics Prize were promulgated.
Everyone knows the difference between these three awards.
The Hua Luogeng Mathematics Prize is aimed at scholars over the age of fifty, and the minimum number of winners is professors. In fact, there are not many surprises and surprises.
The Chung Jiaqing Mathematics Award is for doctoral students who are in school and have strong scientific research and academic abilities, but they are students after all, so it is not a big deal.
Only the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Prize is different.
The most important thing is that Wang Donglai meets the conditions for the award.
The news media reporters present have prepared several announcements to deal with different situations. As soon as the award results are announced, they will be spread out immediately.
The first award announced is the Hua Luogeng Mathematics Award.
Academician Huang Yun personally announced the list of winners, and the winners were the two academicians Xu Songyao told Wang Donglai.
Xu Songyao knew it in advance, and many people present also knew it.
After the smooth announcement of the Hua Luogeng Mathematics Prize, it was time for the Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Prize.
Many people are looking forward to this award. Especially Liu Jianshe, who was in the audience, was extremely looking forward to Wang Donglai winning this award.
Because as long as Wang Donglai wins the Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Award, it means that the Chinese Mathematical Society will treat Wang Donglai as a doctoral candidate and other young scholars.
At the same time, after winning the Chung Jiaqing Mathematics Award, naturally he can no longer win the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award.
Just when Liu Jianshe was thinking this.
The list of winners of the Chung Jiaqing Award was announced.
"The winners of the 12th Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Award are Ding Tian and Qu Ze from Fudan University, Xu Qi from Tianjin University, and Zhou Peng from Hunan University!"
When Huang Yun read out these four words, name of an award winner.
Liu Jianshe's face suddenly became gloomy, while Zhang Hanjie, who was sitting next to Liu Jianshe, stared at his nose and did not dare to look at anything for fear of angering his mentor.
When the awards came here, everyone gradually whetted their appetite.
Will Wang Donglai win the prize?
The Chung Jiaqing Mathematics Prize does not include Wang Donglai, so will the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Prize be awarded to Wang Donglai?
Many professors and scholars present silently recalled the past winners.
I was surprised to find that the youngest winner of the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award also won it at the age of thirty-four.
This record was obtained by Professor Shen Zhigong of the Department of Mathematics of the University of Science and Technology of China in 2009. He won the 12th Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award for his outstanding contributions in the field of one-dimensional dynamic systems.
Wang Donglai is only twenty years old. If Wang Donglai wins this award, it means that he will break this record and directly advance the youngest award-winning record to twenty years old.
Also in this year, the International Mathematical Union announced the establishment of the Chen Shengshen Prize in memory of the late "Father of Differential Geometry" and Chinese mathematician Chen Shengshen. This award is awarded by the International Mathematical Union at the International Congress of Mathematicians held every four years. , rewards scientists who have made outstanding contributions in the field of international mathematics.
In addition to the medal, there will also be a $500,000 bonus.
It is worth mentioning that half of the US$500,000 award must be donated to mathematical institutions according to the winner's wishes, and the rest is at the winner's discretion.
There is the Chen Shengshen Prize in Mathematics in China, and the Chen Shengshen Prize of the International Mathematical Union.
This move directly suppressed the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award in China.
At the International Congress of Mathematicians held some time ago, the winner of the second Chen Shengshen Prize was announced. It was won by Philip Griffiths of the Department of Mathematics of the Bald Eagle Institute of Advanced Mathematics, in recognition of his pioneering research in composite geometry. .
If Wang Donglai hadn't proved Goldbach's guess, I'm afraid this news would have caused even greater shock.
Soon, it was time to announce the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Prize.
Academician Huang Yun on the stage looked at the audience with a smile on his face. He took the microphone and said in a deep voice: "Next, I will announce the list of winners of the 15th Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award. "
"The first winner is researcher Chen Zhongming from the Institute of Mathematics and Systems Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. His main scientific research achievement is the problem of wave scattering. The perfect matching layer method (PML) has been systematically and in-depth researched, and the adaptive PML method has been proposed to solve the problem of parameter selection in the application of the PML method. The wave source transfer region splitting algorithm of the high-frequency Helmholtz equation has been abandoned and the region has been achieved. The ideal computational complexity of the splitting method proves the optimal convergence of the algorithm..."
When they suddenly heard the information about the first winner, many people were a little stunned, and then became a little excited.
Because, according to their assumptions, if Wang Donglai wins this year's Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award, it will inevitably be announced as soon as possible.
But no.
Many people began to murmur in their hearts, but on the surface there was not much change, because the second winner has not yet announced.
At this time.
"The second winner is Professor Wang Donglai from Tangdu Jiaotong University!"
As soon as he said this, many people present burst into applause.
Many people actually think this result is normal.
Even though the selection criteria for the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Prize are relatively strict.
Even though Wang Donglai is too young, only twenty years old.
Even domestic academic circles pay attention to seniority and seniority.
However, Wang Donglai's achievements are enough to break these explicit or implicit rules.
From ABC guess, to Hodge guess, to Goldbach guess.
Wang Donglai has proven himself in the international mathematics community and has received high honors.
Wang Donglai won all the top three international awards within one year.
How could the domestic Chen Shengshen Mathematics Prize deny Wang Donglai?
Professor Huang Yun continued: "Everyone must be familiar with this name. You have heard it several times in the past two years, but here, I still want to introduce it to you in detail."
"ABC guess, Hodge guess, Zhou guess The test and the proof of Goldbach's conjecture are the best explanations. In addition, Professor Wang has also made outstanding achievements in applications. The artificial intelligence medical assistance system is his achievement in applied mathematics. From Chinese mathematicians Academician Qiu Chengtong, to the famous mathematician Academician Deligne, are all interested in Professor Wang gave a very high evaluation and believed that Professor Wang was an outstanding talent among the younger generation of scholars."
"In the same year, Professor Wang won the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, the Abel Prize and the Abel Prize. Fields Medal, the third person in academic history in the world today."
“Professor Wang’s achievements have greatly enhanced the voice and academic status of my country’s mathematics major in the world. It has allowed scholars in the international academic community to face up to the academic abilities of Chinese scholars for the first time, and has contributed to my country’s international image. Great publicity effect.”
When Huang Yun said this, everyone present could not understand.
Wang Donglai, who has won three awards, has become a business card in domestic academic circles.
Although the Huaguo Mathematical Society is not a registered official organization, it is also a proper semi-official organization.
As the chairman of the Chinese Mathematical Society, Academician Huang Yun naturally cannot talk casually, let alone on such an occasion.
In his capacity, what he said in the presence of reporters represents the Chinese Mathematical Society, and also represents the attitude of the education department above.
So, just a few words.
There was a wave of applause in the concert hall.
This is true whether it is the academician leaders on the stage or the professors, reporters and other staff in the audience.
Because this is only to announce the list of winners and not to award awards, the winners such as Wang Donglai do not need to go on stage to receive the awards.
To really get the medals and bonuses, you have to wait until the awards ceremony is held next year.
Wang Donglai sat in the audience, listening to the roaring applause in the concert hall, with a calm expression and a slight smile.
For winning the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award, he had been mentally prepared from the beginning and was not surprised.
Because according to his results, he can actually win the Hua Luogeng Mathematics Award.
The winner must be over fifty years old. This is just an unspoken rule.
Since the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Prize can break common sense and be awarded to a twenty-year-old professor, the Hua Luogeng Mathematics Prize can also be awarded.
However, it was two academicians who won this award.
Naturally, no one would be willing to change the award quotas of the two academicians for their own sake, so the current scene happened.
Sit in rows and divide the fruits!
