Chapter 553

"The flower in my heart

I want to take you home

In that late night bar

No matter if it is true or false”

The radio station in the car was playing "Wild Wolf Disco" which was very popular during this period. Gu Lu took out his mobile phone and looked at the caller ID.

The caller was Bao Songquan.

Gu Lu chose to answer the call.

"Hello, senior brother."

"Gu Lu, are you off work now?"

"I just got off work and am on my way back. Senior brother, what's wrong? Is there something urgent?" Gu Lu asked doubtfully.

"Gu Lu, I have some good news for you." Bao Songquan's suppressed excitement came over the phone.

"Good news?" Gu Lu was stunned for a moment.

"Just now, QS announced the new year's world university rankings on its official website!" Bao Songquan said with a smile.

It’s QS World University Rankings!

Gu Lu has been busy with the research team's affairs during this period and almost forgot about this important matter.

Normally, major authoritative institutions will publish the world university rankings on their official websites in August and September every year.

And today is already the end of August.

Calculating the time, it should be the time when major international authoritative organizations start to publish their lists one after another.

The QS World University Rankings, as the most credible and well-known ranking list in the world, was officially announced today.

Gu Luke was very concerned about the ranking of this list.

Because the main task that Gu Lu is undertaking is to push the Mathematics major of Yanda into the top five of QS World University Mathematics Majors within four years!

After being stunned for a few seconds, Gu Lu held his cell phone and asked eagerly, "Senior brother, where is our Mathematics major at Yanda ranked this time?"

After saying this, Gu Lu felt anxious in his heart.

Tell the truth.

Gu Lu had no idea where Yanda’s mathematics major would rank in the world this time.

Although the ranking increase is already a sure thing.

But the concepts of advancing one or two places and advancing three or four places are completely different.

Bao Songquan did not bother Gu Lu, but laughed loudly and said, "18th place! This time our Mathematics Department of Yan'an University is ranked 18th in the world! Haha!"

Eighteen!

Gu Lu was relieved when he heard this ranking, and a big smile appeared on his face.

This ranking... already makes Gu Lu very satisfied.

You know, this time last year, the Department of Mathematics at YSU was only ranked 21st in the world!

But this time he was able to move up three places in one go, raising his ranking to eighteenth place. Gu Lu was already very satisfied.

Mentioned it before.

For those top universities ranked in the top 50 in the world, it is not easy at all to move up a ranking, but it is extremely difficult.

Because while you are making progress, others are also making progress.

And in this world ranking list, we still follow the principle that the strong get stronger and the weak get weaker.

After all, the higher the ranking of a university, the easier it is to attract high-quality students and excellent teachers, while the lower the ranking, the less attractive it will be to talents.

Therefore, it is quite difficult to achieve a counterattack on such a highly competitive list and achieve a substantial improvement in ranking.

This time, the reason why the Mathematics Department of Yanda was able to skip three levels in a row and achieve a leap from 21st to 18th place can be mainly attributed to three reasons.

The first point is that the School of Mathematics at Yanda has added four very important visiting professors.

Simon, Constantine, Karl, and Alec are all the world's top genius mathematicians. After being appointed as visiting professors by Yanda through various means, those authoritative institutions evaluated the faculty of the Department of Mathematics at Yanda.

Simon and four other people will be included in the calculation, and the Department of Mathematics at Yanda can gain a lot of points in this area.

The second point is that Bao Songquan obtained the academician title.

Almost a month ago, Bao Songquan was officially selected as one of this year's new academicians by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and at the same time became one of the few academician-level leaders in the Institute of Science and Technology of Yanda.

As mentioned before, international authoritative institutions do not recognize outstanding young talents and Yangtze and Yellow River scholars.

However, as one of the unified senior professional titles in the world, academician has a very high value no matter which country it is in.

Therefore, Bao Songquan's academician title can allow the Mathematics Department of Yanda to add a lot of points in the evaluation.

As for the last reason, it was Gu Lu.

In the past year, who was the most popular mathematician in the mathematics world?

There is no doubt that there is no other choice except Gu Lu.

Gu Lu's performance in the past year can be described as stunning.

The publication of nearly ten world-class research results has shocked the attention of many colleagues in the industry.

bab conjecture, arithmetic prime number conjecture, narrow Hodge conjecture...

Many major conjectures that have troubled the entire mathematical community for many years were defeated in front of Gu Lu, and then Gu Lu obediently chopped off his proud head.

Countless young mathematicians regard Gu Lu as their idol.

The top ten universities in the world have extended olive branches to Gu Lu at all costs.

It can be said that...

Gu Lu's name is on the verge of being deified in the world of mathematics.

Even compared to some of the older generation of mathematicians who stand at the top of the pyramid, although Gu Lu's academic achievements are slightly inferior, in terms of fame and popularity, Gu Lu is completely inferior to those who stand at the top of the pyramid.

existence at the top.

Now, in the entire international mathematics community, except for those mathematicians who work behind closed doors, there is almost no one who has not heard of Gu Lu's name.

Moreover, no one regards Gu Lu as a young man who is only twenty-five years old.

Gu Lu's academic prowess has made people forget his true age.

Gu Lu has many titles in the field of mathematics.

For example, he is the first person of the young generation in Chinese mathematics, one of the five geniuses in the field of algebraic geometry, the new king of all-round mathematics, a scheduled candidate for the next Fields Medal, etc.

Given any title, it is probably an achievement that other mathematicians will find difficult to achieve in their lifetime.

When those authoritative institutions ranked the Department of Mathematics at Yanda as a whole, Gu Lu was certainly an existence that could not be ignored.

Gu Lu's light was so dazzling that it was impossible to ignore it.

And because of Gu Lu’s presence in the Mathematics Department of Yanda, all the results achieved by Gu Lu in the past year are attributed to the Mathematics Department of Yanda.

No one can tell how productive Gu Lu has been in the past year.

It is no exaggeration to say that one person is worth five.

Even to some extent.

The Department of Mathematics at Yanda has Gu Lu, and the number of papers it produces every year is more than the two Philippine Prize winners.

Although Gu Lu has temporarily retired from the world of mathematics, Gu Lu is still quite young!

When Gu Lu returns, as long as he maintains his previous efficiency, it will be difficult for the Mathematics Department of Yanda to improve its ranking.

Therefore, during the evaluation, Gu Lu alone added a lot of points to the Mathematics Department of Yanda.

Just make a simple measurement.

It was Gu Lu alone who made the Mathematics Department of Yanda move up two places on the list.
Chapter completed!
