Chapter 575: You can only look up, but you cant catch up!
Just as Xu Chuan thought, the decision of the International Mathematics Alliance really shocked many people's chins and eyes.
Two female Fields Medal winners at the International Conference of Mathematicians.
This is unique even if it is put in history or any other math award.
After Amelia's name came out, in addition to the thunderous applause, some noisy discussions also sounded in the lecture hall.
"A 26-year-old female Fields Medal winner, if Professor Xu hadn't been in front of her, her age would have definitely broken the world record."
In the lecture hall, Xu Chenyang, who was sitting in the audience and applauding, looked at the young figure walking onto the stage, with a little emotion in his tone.
On the side, Zhang Wei, another person from the Golden Generation of Peking University, shook her head and said, "If it weren't for Professor Xu, she probably wouldn't have solved the Bloch conjecture at the age of 26. Whether it was the algebra cluster and group mapping tool or the person's personal teaching, it greatly improved her original height."
After a slight pause, he added: "But it can solve the Bloch conjecture, she is indeed worthy of this medal. It is the choice of the leader of the International Mathematics Alliance, which surprised me even more."
"I really didn't expect that at this International Mathematician Conference, two female Fields Medal winners appeared at the same time."
The number of female Fields Medal winners has changed from one to three today.
I have to say that compared to another award-winning Professor Marina Viazovska, Amelia is much younger, the former is already thirty-eight years old, while the latter is only 26.
At the age of twenty-six, she won the Fields Medal. Putting aside the pervert of her mentor, she was absolutely amazing.
After all, the youngest Fields Medal winner has always been maintained by Jean-Pierre Sell. Professor Jean-Pierre Sell, 27, probably wouldn't have thought that the record he set in that year would be broken decades later.
For mathematics, being young is hope.
There is no doubt that no one will deny that Amelia's future in the mathematics world is definitely bigger than Professor Marina Viazovska and has more hope to go to a higher place.
Looking at the young figure who was taking the golden Fields Medal from Professor Kenneger on the report stand, Zhang Wei was filled with an extremely complicated mood.
It would be great if he was one or two years younger.
Born in 1981, he is only 41 years old this year. If he is under 40 in this class, he is definitely qualified to compete for the Fields Medal.
The last International Mathematician Conference was really a fight between gods and immortals, which was too difficult.
Looking at Amelia Elwin on the report stage, Zhang Wei felt a little regretful and relieved.
Four years ago was his last chance to touch the Fields Award medal, but unfortunately he missed it.
No, it’s not a pity, it’s just that he is not strong enough.
After all, the Fields Award is aimed at the entire mathematics community, and it is only selected once every four years. If it weren't for a real top genius and a strong man, it would be like a great success to compete for this medal.
If he is strong enough, so strong that he can directly solve a top conjecture or problem like that of Professor Xu, then even if he is young, he will definitely win a Fields Medal.
But he was not enough, far from enough. Although he had achieved many results, he did not solve a problem or conjecture that could determine the throne. He lacked a world-class conjecture problem like Amelia, nor did he create an important mathematical tool like Schultz.
After all, it's just that it's not strong enough.
And the mathematics community is a place where you speak with your strength.
I hope I can solve a big conjecture like Professor Andrew Wiles in the future.
In this way, there may be a chance to win a Silver Fields Medal, which can make up for your regrets.
On the side, his friend Xu Chenyang looked at Amelia standing on the report stand, as if she was in memory. He was also a contestant who could reach the Philippine Awards, but he was the kind of person who could only see the taillights at the end.
After coming back to his senses, Xu Chenyang smiled and said, "To be honest, that person is still perverted. Not only did he win the Philippine Award four years ago, but the students he taught also won the Philippine Award four years later, which is simply amazing."
Zhang Wei: "It's no surprise. That Amelia, I remember she was the gold medal in the IMO competition, and it seems she was with that person. The gold medalist of the IMO competition is the greenhouse of the Fields Award. Being able to win the gold medal in IMO shows that she is indeed very talented in mathematics."
"In addition, there is also that person's personal guidance, excellent talent and top mentor, it is not surprising that he won the Philippine Award, it would be strange if he couldn't get it."
On the side, Xu Chenyang smiled and said, "I heard that when she transferred to Princeton, it was the one who solved the Hodge's conjecture. When she was a professor of Princeton, she became his first student by chance."
"Speaking of this, it seems that the Fields Medal can only be won by one person. I originally thought that the person who solved the three millennium problems could get another one. This time, it seems that it was decided."
Zhang Wei thought for a while and said, "If you want to say that he can win another Nobel Prize, I believe this, but there is no possibility for the Philippine Prize. After all, the Philippine Prize is an evaluation of individuals."
Xu Chenyang smiled and said, "To be honest, it would be great when will the motherland win another Philippine award?"
Although the person has won a Philippine Award, which broke the record of the zero Philippine Award in the Chinese mathematics community, to be honest, there is still a big gap between the domestic mathematics community and the international mainstream mathematics countries.
If a person is powerful, that is just a miracle for him alone.
In this regard, China is actually very similar to another Asian country, ‘India’.
Both are ancient mathematical countries, but unfortunately they have fallen behind in modern history.
And the same thing is that both countries have produced a top mathematician in a near-generation situation.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! The former is Xu Chuan and the latter is Ramanujian.
For the Indian mathematics community in the 1990s, Ramanujan was like a god, and could only look up to him and could not catch up.
And for the Chinese mathematics community today, isn’t that person’s existence the same?
Zhang Wei smiled and said, "There will be a chance. As long as that person is willing to spread his knowledge, it is not impossible to win another Fields Medal."
"It's only four years since his students have won a Philippine award. Even if the mathematical atmosphere in our country is weaker, if four years do not work, ten years do not work, twenty years do not work, a group of outstanding talents will always be born."
Speaking of this, Xu Chenyang also felt a little moved.
The atmosphere in the domestic academic community seems to have undergone some different changes in the past two years.
Ten years ago, he returned to China with the title of a genius mathematician, and was about to return to China to change the scientific research environment in the field of mathematics in China.
Although he tried his best to explore and protect those talented students to fulfill their dreams like he did, which was also his original intention to return to China, six years after returning to China, even he felt despair and eventually left the motherland.
For this reason, he has carried a lot of infamous reputation, and many people think that he has betrayed his motherland.
But only he himself knows the hardships in the middle.
He can convince himself, but he cannot convince his students, other peers, and cannot change the scientific research environment.
If he doesn't choose to leave, then he can only accept all this. He is unwilling to accept it and can only choose to leave.
Unexpectedly, what he had no power to change at the beginning had begun to change under the influence of that person, and even had earth-shaking changes.
Whether it is Xinghai Research Institute, the motherland's emphasis on mathematics, or the achievements made by that person, it is making all sectors of society in China and even the top leaders of the country pay more attention to the role of mathematics.
The more basic the discipline is, the more it cannot be separated from the support of all sectors of society.
Now, all sectors of society in the motherland are recognizing the basic subject of mathematics like never before and have strongly supported it.
This was simply unimaginable ten years ago.
If he could imagine that he would not have left in despair.
.........
"He's still good."
On the other side of the conference hall, his eyes fell on Amelia, who was receiving the awards, and Zhang Weiping sighed.
After a pause, he glanced at Liu Jiaying who brought him to see the world, and said with a smile: "Did you see it? Jiaying, that Amelia, is the student of Academician Xu Chuan, who won the Fields Medal at the age of 26, you should work hard too."
"Well, I will!"
Liu Jiaying looked at the stage and nodded vigorously.
At this international mathematics conference, the seeds of mathematics are the most planted. At this moment, a seed of mathematics is undoubtedly planted in her heart, waiting for it to take root and sprout in the future.
Hearing the student's answer, Zhang Weiping smiled with relief.
He was very optimistic about Xu Chuan at the beginning, and he expressed his thoughts on accepting him as a student and inviting him to study at Fudan University, but unfortunately, the other party went to Nanjing University in the end.
No, it's actually not a pity.
After all, after going to Nanjing University, he had grown into a towering tree. If he had been brought to Fudan by him, what would have happened?
Although he can definitely achieve something with his talent, it is unknown whether he can reach this level smoothly.
So strong.
In the past two years, I have been taking this newly acquired elementary school student and sending it to Xuchuan in two years. Maybe if you have the chance, you can get another Fields Medal for China, which is also worth it.
