Chapter 510: The Cole Prize for Number Theory, and an Unprecedented Crisis(1/2)
Qin Ke was stunned by the system's new god of study mission.
The task reward of up to 5,000 points plus a mysterious gift package made Qin Ke very envious.
But... to win five more international mathematics awards that are equivalent to or higher than the Cole Prize in Number Theory?
Although there are many international mathematics awards, there are really few that can compare with the Kohl's Number Theory Award or even have higher recognition and recognition than it.
The Fields Medal, the Wolf Medal, and the Abel Prize are known as the three major awards in the international mathematics community. They are definitely higher than the Cole Prize in Number Theory. They are also the Gauss Medal issued by IMU, and the Chen Shengshen Prize can also be counted.
However, the Wolf Prize and the Abel Prize are basically given to senior mathematicians over fifty years old, and Qin Ke can't wait.
IMU's Chern Medal... is even more difficult to win than the Fields Medal. You have to conquer the Hodge Conjecture to have a chance.
The Gauss Prize is awarded to those who have made outstanding contributions to applied mathematics. Qin Ke’s currently internationally influential mathematical achievements are mainly in number theory, that is, theoretical mathematics. This Gauss Prize is also very difficult.
In addition, IMU has two less well-known awards, the Abacus Award and the Lilavati Award. The former rewards mathematicians who have made outstanding contributions in the mathematics of information science, and requires both extremely high computer and mathematics skills; the latter
The program rewards mathematicians who have a positive impact on the promotion of mathematics.
These two Qin Ke are somewhat confident that they will win, but these two awards are newly established, and their international influence and reputation are relatively small. I don't know if the system will be counted in the mission results.
Based on this calculation, only the Fields Medal is eligible.
Further down, as famous as the Kohl Prize, there are the Ramanujan Prize, the Crafford Prize, the Lobachevsky Prize, the Ostrovsky Prize, and the Steele Prize of the American Mathematical Society...
…
In other words, if Qin Ke wants to complete this task, in addition to the Fields Medal, he must win at least four of the five above-mentioned awards.
The difficulty is really not small, but Qin Ke thought about it and figured out the hail conjecture and Goldbach's conjecture. There should still be a good chance of winning these awards. As for the competition for the Fields Medal is too fierce...then add more
The remaining two sets of expressions of the Upper Riemann Hypothesis!
If a powerful weapon like the Riemann Hypothesis is completely solved, who in the world can compete with it?
But what gives Qin Ke a bit of a headache is that even if his current mathematics level has reached a true master level, he can only fully understand the fourth set of expressions and their derivation process in "Full Analysis of the Riemann Hypothesis". The final
The fifth set of expressions is still half-understood.
It is estimated that one needs to reach a master-level mathematics level to truly understand this last set of extremely difficult expressions.
Grandmaster level...
Qin Ke looked at the upgrade progress bar of the mathematics subject again. There was still about 3,400 left. Winning four major awards including the Ramanu Gold Medal should push the mathematics level to the master level.
Come on! Try to solve the hail conjecture within this year! Then move on to Goldbach’s conjecture!
…
However, Qin Ke's return to China was delayed for another three days. On the one hand, Uncle Chen called again and asked him and Ning Qingyun to continue to accept interviews with foreign media so that they could continue to "build momentum." On the other hand, Professor Tao
The conversation was really high.
Probably because we rarely meet "masters" who can have such intense ideological collisions, whenever Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun have time, Professor Tao will come over and talk mathematics with them.
No, at the dinner, Qin Kening Qingjun was chatting with Mr. Faltings, Professor Lindenstrauss and Professor Thomson from the University of Pennsylvania. Professor Tao came over again with a piece of paper filled with mathematical calculations.
He said excitedly: "Qin Kening Qingyun, I came up with another derivation method for the 'semigroup object' problem of homotopy algebraic geometry that we discussed at noon, which is more concise. Come and see if there are any improvements."
space?"
Professor Thomson stopped him and said with a smile: "Professor Tao, can you stop occupying Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun all day long?"
Professor Tao said sheepishly: "Professor Thomson, isn't it rare for me to meet someone who can fully understand my thoughts? When they return to China, communication via email will not be so convenient."
"Yes, and I also benefited a lot from communicating with Professor Tao." Qin Ke smiled and took the piece of paper handed by Professor Tao, and said to Ning Qingyun: "Jun'er, you continue to chat with some seniors.
, I will go and talk to Professor Tao for a while first, and I will be back soon."
Qin Ke had been there for more than half an hour. Ning Qingyun was not very good at socializing with people, but seeing the excitement on Qin Ke's face, she couldn't help but smile.
Professor Linden-Strauss sighed: "This is the first time I have seen Professor Tao so excited. When he was studying at Pudong University, Professor Tao was actually a relatively silent type. I guess he had a sense of pride.
Except for the tutor, the rest of his classmates couldn't keep up with his thinking, which probably made him reluctant to speak more. However, Professor Tao's involvement in various fields of mathematics is indeed very extensive. In my impression, only Qin Ke can keep up.
His thinking and rhythm have changed. The two of them are so similar."
Faltings suddenly said: "More than that."
"Oh?" Everyone looked at the old gentleman.
Faltings said softly: "Qin Ke has greater potential. This year he has broken the age records for the Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics and the Cole Number Theory Prize. His chances of winning the Fields Medal next year are not small... If I
I remember correctly, Qin Ke will be twenty years old next year, right? A Fields Medal at the age of twenty..."
Everyone knew that Faltings admired Qin Ke very much, but they did not expect that he would speak so highly of Qin Ke and even thought that Qin Ke had a chance to win the Fields Medal.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Qin Ke, who was chatting happily with Professor Tao not far away.
Ning Qingyun's eyes couldn't hide the pride. Yes, although Qin Ke is still far behind Professor Tao now, he can already have equal academic exchanges. In time, Qin Ke will surpass this internationally renowned mathematics super genius.
It's not something that can't be done.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Thinking that her boyfriend is very likely to reach the top of mathematics at the age of twenty and win the world's top mathematics award, Ning Qingyun decided that if this really happened
One day, she wanted to wear a scarf and show off her boyfriend like an ordinary girl.
After all, that will be her proudest day.
…
While Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun were still busy giving interviews to the media at the University of California, Berkeley, or exchanging academic issues with Professor Tao, the domestic academic media was already frantically reporting the news that the two had won the award.
"The medal gap has been filled again in my country's mathematics community! Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun won this year's Cole Prize for Number Theory at the same time!
"The youngest winner of the Cole Prize in Number Theory in history was born. Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun broke the age record for the Cole Prize winner at the age of nineteen!"
"On a glorious day, my country's young mathematicians Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun won the international award for the second time this year! They took the crown of the international number theory community into their arms!"
Not only the major news media, but also CC1 spent nearly 30 seconds broadcasting this news during the evening news period and discussing the status of the Kohl's Prize in Number Theory in the international mathematics community.
The self-media public account even translated the full text of interviews and comments and praise articles about the two from foreign media, causing a greater sensation on the Internet.
After all, no matter how much you brag and boast in China, nothing can make you feel better than the various praises from the big international media.
For example, this comment from the Times Mathematics Pioneer: "Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun have won two mathematics awards in a row. Where will their next goal be? The Ramanu Gold Medal will never be their end!"
Another example is this news from the Paris Academic Journal: "No one can stop these two Xia Guo students from reaching the pinnacle of mathematics!"
Doesn’t it sound really cool to hear?
Therefore, the two young academics who were already famous all over the country suddenly became even more popular, surpassing the well-known celebrities in the entertainment industry and becoming the objects of admiration and admiration by countless students.
Qin Ke, Ning Qingyun’s hometown in Yuanzhou City, from elementary school to high school, every school has banners, "Warmly celebrate the XX graduates of our school Qin Ke/Ning Qingyun won the international mathematics award Kohl's Number Theory Award for the second time
”.
Under the spotlight of national attention, the media swarmed to Yuanzhou to interview Qin Ke and their teachers, classmates, and relatives. As long as the news contained "Qin Ke" and "Ning Qingyun" in the title, it would not receive many clicks.
It will be small.
In the midst of such commotion, a special report appeared, which set off the atmosphere on the Internet.
"It starts with mathematics, but it is not just mathematics! - On Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun's contribution to the discipline of computational experiments!"
The author of the special report is a senior reporter of "Xiaguo Academic Journal". "Xiaguo Academic Journal" is the academic newspaper with the largest circulation in Xiaguo, almost all universities, high schools, junior high schools and even elementary schools, as well as many cultural and scientific research newspapers
All units subscribe, and there are also many families who take the initiative to subscribe.
The beginning of the report read: "For most people, they have only paid attention to the fact that Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun won the international award again recently, but I noticed that "Acta Physica Sinica" at the end of July
The journal also published three papers by Qin Ke on computational fluid dynamics (the second computational fluid dynamics paper on oil and gas separation was co-authored by Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun), and the latest issue of "Acta Xia Guo Biology" was published
"Research on Cultivation Methods of Five New Tomato Seeds" co-authored by Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun."
"Because it is the summer vacation, most faculty and students are on vacation. It is estimated that these two academic journals are still gathering dust in the subscription boxes of most university mailrooms. But I think these four papers, especially those published in "
The three computational fluid dynamics papers in Acta Physica Sinica are of greater significance to our country than the Cole Number Theory Award! Because these two talented students are single-handedly promoting the development of computational experimental disciplines in the country!"
"So the computational experiment discipline refers to the discipline that combines computer technology with mathematical modeling to simulate, predict, and deduce experimental results. They will all be named 'Computational Science'. With the development of computer technology, this
Such subjects were popular for a while, but soon fell silent, and most colleges and universities even canceled these courses, because in the eyes of the public, such subjects were not practical and too difficult."
"But Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun proved with facts that it is not that these subjects are not practical, but that others have not really studied, studied and mastered this subject in depth, or do not have a good mathematical foundation or a good computer technology foundation.
, it is impossible to truly play the role of this type of discipline."
"I believe many people remember the scarves Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun issued at the beginning of the year. The two young mathematicians used mathematical modeling as a weapon to uncover the academic fraud scandal of an authoritative expert in the biological vaccine industry, but most people
No one knows that Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun have also made great contributions to experiments in physics and chemistry using mathematical modeling..."
The author of the report has indeed worked hard and interviewed many people, including their teachers, professors, and classmates, to enumerate the achievements of Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun in computational biology, computational fluid dynamics, and computational materials science.
Finally, the report wrote: “In this issue of Acta Physica Sinica, Academician Wen Yuanping, the vice president of Xia Ke Academy of Sciences, wrote the following comments on Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun’s three computational fluid dynamics articles—
—'Physics cannot be separated from mathematics. Any physicist who does not pay attention to mathematics can hardly be called a real physicist. I hope that physics students and scholars who read these three papers will continue to take the initiative to improve their mathematics level in order to
Mathematics to promote the progress of physics. I hope our country’s physicists will one day win the Fields Medal.'"
"I believe that more and more universities will pay attention to and re-open courses in computational experimental subjects and increase the construction of these subjects. I believe that in the near future, computers and mathematics will further promote the development of scientific experiments.
