Chapter 428 The Tutor Is so Good, Can the Students Not Be Sought After?
Following the voice, Lu Zhou's eyes lit up slightly when he saw the person who greeted him, and he recognized him immediately.
Academician Wang Shicheng, Chairman of Huaguo Mathematical Society!
At the Huaguo Mathematicians Conference in 2015, he met Academician Wang once.
Lu Zhou still remembered that he was in Beijing Normal University at that time, and he attended the meeting with Academician Lu while he was still studying for a master's degree, and he also received the Shiingshen Chern Mathematics Award at the meeting.
Different from the international Chern Award, the domestic Chern Mathematics Award is not a lifetime achievement award, but similar to the Fields Medal, focusing on young scholars. However, the age limit is different and relaxed to fifty years old.
"Long time no see!" Smiling, he held the right hand extended by Academician Wang Shicheng, Lu Zhou then looked at the three men who were following Academician Wang, and continued to ask, "Who is this?"
Academician Wang smiled, and began to introduce the one closest to him: "This is the secretary-general of the Huaguo Mathematical Society, Cheng Dayue."
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Professor Cheng!"
"Where am I a professor? Professor Zhang and Professor Xu are the professors. You can just call me Secretary Cheng." Cheng Dayue said with an embarrassed smile.
Hearing Professor Zhang and Professor Xu, Lu Zhou's eyes lit up, and he immediately guessed the identities of the other two.
"The two are Zhang Wei and Xu Chenyang?"
Before Zhang Wei could speak, Academician Wang Shicheng smiled and said, "I was about to introduce you, but you guessed it unexpectedly."
Looking at the two scholars, Lu Zhou smiled and said, "I didn't expect such a coincidence that the two great gods are here. It's really a pleasure to meet you."
In addition, there is a cloud god. When he was studying at Jinda University, he could always hear the names of several great gods, but it is a pity that he has never seen them. I didn't expect to have this opportunity to get to know each other today.
"Don't dare to be dare not, Wei God is so real, my godhead is still a little bit worse. It's better to say that I am here, I have admired the name of Lu God for a long time!" After shaking hands with Lu Zhou, Xu Chenyang smiled and was polite. said.
Zhang Wei coughed lightly with some embarrassment, "...Don't call me this name, I'm sorry."
Looking at several young scholars who were chatting happily, Academician Wang Shicheng suggested with a smile: "I wonder if Professor Lu has time for a while?"
Lu Zhou: "What's the matter?"
Academician Wang Shicheng smiled and said, "It's nothing, but I think if you're not busy, why don't we go have a meal or something. I know there's a good restaurant nearby, at least it's much better than the lunch provided by the hotel."
The "Brazilian style" lunch provided by the hotel was really not very good, and it happened that Lu Zhou didn't plan to eat here, so he smiled heartily and agreed.
"No problem, let's go!"
...
On the other side, the Institute of Mathematics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
In the office located in a corner of the research institute, Xiang Huanan couldn't help but sigh while watching the CCTV reporter's interview shown on the TV.
"In the past, I just thought that the kid was capable and would do something in the future. I didn't expect him to be so upbeat and even won the Fields Award."
The highest honor that a mathematician under the age of 40 can receive is the Fields Medal. It is unique to be able to receive this honor at the age of 24 in the nearly 100 years since the establishment of this award.
As for the Chern Prize and the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, these are lifetime achievement awards and have nothing to do with young scholars under the age of 40.
After all, for a person who is not even 40 years old, to evaluate and thank him for his contribution to the cause of mathematics in his life, no matter how it sounds, it sounds like cursing the person to die young...
Academician Wang Xiping, who was sitting on the sofa in the office, was also smiling while watching the news shown on TV, and was sincerely happy for Lu Zhou.
But after a while, he suddenly thought of a few students of Yan University, and his expression was a little melancholy, and he sighed: "It's a pity."
Xiang Huanan glanced at his old friend, smiled and said, "What a pity."
Shaking his head, Wang Xiping expressed regret.
"Among the post-1980s scholars, those who graduated in 2000 are the most outstanding, among which Zhang Wei and Yun Zhiyi are especially outstanding. There are also Xu Chenyang who has returned to China, etc... Originally in our It seems that these young talents all hoped to hit the Philippine Award, but unexpectedly they were wiped out."
Especially Zhang Wei, during his doctoral period, when his supervisor Zhang Shouwu was studying the problem of the modularity of Kudala’s conjecture, he found a method in only three months. He wrote a thesis in the second year of his Ph.D. The world was shocked. When he won the Ramanujan Prize, it greatly boosted the morale of the domestic mathematics community.
Wang Xiping is a professor at Yanda University, and he has also heard of the rumors circulating on the Yanda campus.
Many young students in several colleges, when they mentioned Zhang Wei, they all admired him and called him "God Wei".
It can be seen that in the eyes of scholars of the new and old generations, they all highly praise this genius.
However, no one expected that this genius would miss the Fields Medal in the end.
Looking at the old friend with a pity face, he smiled at Hua Nan.
"You should be happy if you can get it, and it's okay if you can't get it. I see, it's you people who put pressure on them all day long and mess up their minds. What's this called? It's called flattery!"
"Old Xiang, what you said is a bit embarrassing." Hearing this, Wang Xiping immediately became unhappy, "Our Yanda University's attitude towards talents is one of the best in China and the world. What's wrong with the students' high expectations? Why did you become a flatterer when you came here?"
"You are a professor of Yan University, is there anything you don't know?" Xiang Huanan smiled and continued, "If you want me to say, what if you can't get it? Can the sky still fall? Can studying mathematics still be good? Going for the Fields Medal?"
Wang Xiping shook his head: "I know, of course one does not want to win prizes in learning, so I just feel sorry for him."
Looking at the old friend who was feeling a little depressed, he said a few words of comfort to Huanan: "It's a blessing in disguise, and there is nothing to regret. It is a good thing for him to miss this time. At least he can let go of his burden and focus on nothing else." If you delve into mathematics deeply, you may have greater achievements in the future.”
"I won't talk about this with you anymore," Wang Xiping said after a pause, looking at the screen on the TV, "but to be honest, Professor Lu is quite good. The minute report meeting was done by his Ukrainian student."
"You mean Kadotani's conjecture, I've read that paper, and it's really well written," he picked up the thermos, took a sip of tea from the academician, and continued, "He's really good at understanding and using mathematical methods. It’s not surprising to be able to teach such a student. Not only the Ukrainian student, but also Qin Yue from Kaida University, and the Brazilian student. I don’t know who is better among them, but one thing is certain , within ten years, one of these three people is expected to challenge for the Fields Medal."
Wang Xiping asked thoughtfully: "That student named Qin Yue also has a chance?"
Xiang Huanan raised his eyebrows, and asked with a smile: "Why, do you want to dig him into your Yanda?"
Wang Xiping smiled embarrassingly: "We can't invite Professor Lu, but it's no problem to invite his students."
Xiang Huanan smiled and shook his head. "It's still too late for you to act. As far as I know, the letter of recommendation for the Thousand Talents Program has already been written on the Chen Shiingshen Institute of Mathematics."
Wang Xiping was surprised: "They move so fast?"
"It's not that they are fast, it's that you are slow!" Putting down the thermos in his hand, he looked at his old friend at Huanan and smiled, "The tutor is so good, can the students not be in demand?"
