Wang Donglai is not alone in attending this meeting. Xu Songyao will also attend.
Unlike Wang Donglai, Xu Songyao participated in this meeting as a member of the conference.
Originally, this meeting was scheduled to be held in mid-August, but due to various reasons, it was postponed for half a month to September.
On the plane.
"Dong Lai, you were not selected as the invited speaker this time. Don't you have any ideas?"
When Xu Songyao and Wang Donglai were chatting, they talked about this meeting. , asked curiously.
Wang Donglai shook his head and said: "Of course not. The candidates who invite the speakers are selected by SPC members. There are only two people from our country selected. I am only a junior. It is normal that I was not selected."
This conference has a total of 27 invited speakers, selected by SPC members for more than a year. A total of 27 people come from 16 countries, including 6 female scholars and 5 industry representatives.
It can be said that everyone selected has made outstanding contributions in this field.
Actually, given Wang Donglai’s achievements, it may not be impossible to strive for it.
However, what he did when he was accepting the Adams Chemistry Prize in Bald Eagle had invisibly made it more difficult for Wang Donglai.
Wang Donglai also understood this, and since he didn't value such an honor in his heart, he naturally didn't care.
Xu Songyao looked at Wang Donglai seriously and felt that what Wang Donglai said was true. A smile appeared on his face and he said: "Academician Peng and Gong Luo, who are reporting on behalf of the country this time, have you ever understood ?"
"Lu Province Academician Peng from the university, I have read a lot of his papers. He has something to say in terms of nonlinear mathematical expectation theory and citation of conclusions in the field of finance.”
Hearing Wang Donglai’s evaluation, Xu Song. Yao was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
"Coming from the East, Academician Peng's achievements are not low. He has a series of important theorems centered on G-expectation, nonlinear Brownian motion, nonlinear law of large numbers, and nonlinear core limit theorem. It provides an important theoretical basis for robust analysis and calculation under the uncertainty of probability distribution. , and has been successfully applied to solve actual financial problems. It is a robust measurement tool suitable for solving the uncertainties prevalent in finance and economy, especially financial risks under volatility uncertainty. It provides a solid measurement tool for finance and economics. The study opens up a whole new field of research ”
"Not to mention that Academician Peng and Pardoux collaborated to obtain the existence and uniqueness theorem of backward stochastic differential equations, which is recognized as a foundational paper in this field."
"In addition, Academician Peng was also in the 26th session of The International Congress of Mathematicians gave a conference report. You are the first mainland Chinese mathematician invited to give a one-hour report, and you are the second.”
Xu Songyao did not say the next words. , but the meaning is clearly expressed.
Academician Peng, who has made such great achievements, turned out to have just a little something left in Wang Donglai's mouth.
Hearing Wang Donglai’s comment, Xu Songyao’s first reaction was that Wang Donglai was a little distracted!
As a result, Academician Peng's achievements were told in detail to warn Wang Donglai.
Wang Donglai could completely understand the unfinished meaning in Xu Songyao's words.
Knowing that this was Xu Songyao's concern for him, he smiled and said: "Uncle Xu, I am not arrogant or arrogant. The reason why I say this is just because of my personal feelings. , I don’t like finance very much.”
“No matter how many breakthroughs and developments are made in this, it will be implemented. In fact, it has already changed. For example, the starting point of P2P on the market today, I dare not say whether it is good, but its harm is very obvious.”
“There are financial benefits. No one will deny this, but in my opinion, its disadvantages far outweigh its advantages.”
“So, I don’t have a high opinion of Academician Peng’s achievements in this area.”
“Of course, this does not affect Academician Peng’s academic status and academic achievements, and I will not deny this. "
Hearing Wang Donglai's explanation, Xu Songyao nodded, and the stone in his heart fell.
He was afraid that because Wang Donglai became famous at a young age and had outstanding achievements, he would become arrogant and arrogant.
If this is the case, the in-depth cooperation between Tangdu Jiaotong University and Galaxy Technology will be very risky.
At the same time, Xu Songyao didn't want to see a genius like Wang Donglai destroyed like this.
"Okay, if you say this in front of me, it's okay. Don't say it outside. If word gets out, it will be a disaster!"
Xu Songyao breathed a sigh of relief. , on the surface he still reminded Wang Donglai quite seriously.
Of course Wang Donglai understood this and nodded without refuting.
“Academician Peng is actually very capable. His theories have been applied to the theory and calculation of financial product pricing and dynamic financial risk measurement, and have made outstanding contributions to national financial decision-making and financial risk control. This One thing cannot be erased.”
After Xu Songyao reminded Wang Donglai, he immediately said this.
The meaning is obvious, it is talking about Academician Peng’s contribution and the country’s importance to him.
It even explained why Academician Peng was chosen as the invited speaker.
Wang Donglai nodded and said: "I understand."
But in his heart, Wang Donglai shook his head. It is not difficult to fall back on stochastic differential equations and dynamic nonlinear mathematics. Academician Peng's theory is not profound.
It's just that our country's financial foundation is too poor and it hasn't invested enough in research, so this theory seems to be very valuable.
Putting it to those traditional financial powers in the West, these theories are actually nothing at all.
It can even be said that we are lagging behind.
Xu Songyao changed the topic and mentioned another invited speaker.
"Then I think you should have some understanding of it, Gong Luo. What do you think?"
Wang Donglai pondered for a moment before speaking out: "The quantum information theory studied by Luo Gong is very profound and has great development prospects. However, judging from the current development situation, it is difficult to say that there is a big breakthrough. We can only In small-scale applications.”
“In this aspect, I personally prefer Luo Gong’s research!”
Xu Songyao nodded, quite satisfied with Wang Donglai’s evaluation.
“One of the national scientific research projects that Luo Gong has done before is the quantum system control theory and experimental verification system. It is a relatively cutting-edge research and is very valuable.”
“Last year, another project was As a national scientific research task, I am afraid that I have made some achievements in quantum correlation and its applications, otherwise, I would not have been invited to report.”
Xu Songyao knew this information very well, and told Wang Donglai half in retrospect and half in a scientific way.
The purpose of this is actually very simple, and Wang Donglai knows it very well.
It’s just to introduce myself and avoid making jokes when we meet at the conference.
In any case, with Wang Donglai’s achievements and status in the field of mathematics, he will definitely attract the attention of many people and come up to talk.
Not only the mathematical community, but also some other people may not miss the opportunity to talk to Wang Donglai. It can be said that such a conference is an excellent place for Wang Donglai to enhance his reputation and status.
Although Wang Donglai has achieved results, because he is too young, he has to fight for many things by himself.
Judging people by their appearance will lead to loss.
Age is sometimes important.
After chatting with Academician Peng and Gong Luo, Xu Songyao did not stop, but continued to introduce other tasks to Wang Donglai.
For example, it is Academician Guo, the person in charge of this conference, Academician Li Qian of the conference advisory committee, and many members.
There are also heads of academic committees and sub-committees, etc.
People who can be academicians are smart people with good brains.
Xu Songyao knew the positions and personal circumstances of these people very clearly. When introducing Wang Donglai, he explained everyone's achievements in a concise and concise manner without any lag.
Along the way, Xu Songyao spoke, and Wang Dong came to listen.
Xu Songyao also discovered a situation that made him feel unbelievable.
That is, Wang Donglai may not recognize all the people he talked about, but when it comes to these people's academic achievements and papers, Wang Donglai knows them by heart.
From high-dimensional numerical integration, multivariate approximation theory, numerical solution of highly oscillating ordinary differential equations, strong interaction and collision dynamic systems, fast stochastic algorithms for convex sets and low-rank matrices, biofluid dynamics, etc. Geometric analysis and numerical solutions to electromagnetic problems, finite-dimensional dynamical systems...etc.
These fields cannot be said to be unrelated to each other, and they definitely span a huge range.
However, Wang Donglai has a very deep and thorough understanding of these fields.
When mentioning it, his tone was relaxed and meaningful, as if he had been studying it for many years.
Seeing Wang Donglai's performance, one can imagine Xu Songyao's shock.
Such a talented performance further strengthened Xu Songyao’s regard for Wang Donglai.
The plane landed at Beijing Airport.
Wang Donglai and Xu Songyao separated.
Xu Songyao went straight to the venue of the conference.
The National Convention Center next to the Beijing Olympic Park!
This National Convention Center is currently the best conference center in China.
This shows that China attaches great importance to this meeting.
As a member of this conference, Xu Songyao naturally has work to do.
It's like he also has the title of member of the Industrial Promotion Subcommittee, specifically responsible for this aspect.
As for Wang Donglai, he needs to go to Yanda first.
After all, he has to spend this semester at Yanda.
......
Yanda had already entered Wang Donglai’s information, so Wang Donglai entered the Yanda campus smoothly.
Wang Donglai was not very curious about this prestigious top university in the country.
It was there before, but completely gone after that.
So, Wang Donglai didn't hesitate at all and came directly to the Academy of Mathematics and Science.
"Professor Wang, I have finally waited for you. I have been looking forward to it for a long time!"
As soon as they met, Tian Gang was extremely enthusiastic.
He stood up directly from the office chair, walked around the desk, came to Wang Donglai, held hands and welcomed him warmly.
Actually, it should have been the same treatment as Wudaokou.
The vice-principal will personally receive you.
However, Ren Hongwei had something to deal with. After some communication, at Wang Donglai's request, he handed it over to Tian Gang to receive him.
Because insiders know that Tian Gang has been included in the organization's inspection list, and it is very likely that he will take a further step next year and serve as the vice president.
In addition, Tian Gang is also the dean of mathematics, and he happens to have a common topic with Wang Donglai, so it is most appropriate for Tian Gang to receive him.
Wang Donglai has never thought about it so much, and he doesn't know this.
The reason why he chose Tian Gang was for convenience.
Yanda’s trump card major is mathematics, and Wang Donglai has such good results in the field of mathematics. It is impossible for Yanda to let Wang Donglai go.
Wang Donglai will inevitably be required to conduct in-depth exchanges and learning in the field of mathematics.
However, Wang Donglai didn't want to do this.
He is not a real mathematician, mathematics is just a tool in his hands.
Use mathematics as a tool to solve difficult problems in other fields.
Proving the world's mathematical problems and publishing papers are also to confirm your identity as a genius, so that others will believe what you say and no one will doubt the technology you use.
From beginning to end, he never regarded himself as a pure mathematician.
It can be said that he is actually a pragmatist.
In this way, during the exchange and study time at Yanda, Wang Donglai had his own ideas and considerations, and did not want to be arranged by Yanda to focus on mathematics.
So, after meeting Tian Gang and being polite, Wang Donglai took the initiative to mention this aspect.
"Dean Tian, I wonder if your school has any arrangements for this exchange and study?"
Tian Gang is also a smart person. From this sentence alone, he can tell Wang Donglai asked, "Do you have any ideas, Professor Wang? You might as well tell me, I will be satisfied if I can!"
Wang Donglai was not restrained and said with a natural expression: "I have some ideas of my own about this exchange and learning, and I hope your school can support it."
Tian Gang smiled and said: "Professor Wang, please speak!"
However, when Wang Donglai came out, the smile on Tian Gang's face gradually disappeared and his brows wrinkled slightly. (End of this chapter)
