"Why did I ask about pure mathematics just now?"

"If we want to engage in original innovation, we must pay more attention to basic research. Without solid basic research, it is impossible to have original innovation. No one in China has won the Fields Medal, the highest award in the international mathematics community. Now the IT industry is developing rapidly.

What do we rely on for source code? Mathematics! We build big airplanes, but we still have to buy engines from abroad. Why? Our math foundation is not good. We have passed the materials. Therefore, universities must focus on a century-old plan and really need a group of people who can sit on the bench.

people."

"We in China not only need the Nobel Prize, but we also lack a Fields Medal!"

In early July, during a symposium, the leaders put forward their expectations for the subject of mathematics.

Since Liu Yichen won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2012 and became China's first Nobel Prize winner, and Liu Yichen won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2013, which fulfilled China's Nobel Prize dream, China's persistence in the Nobel Prize is naturally not that deep.

.

The most difficult thing is often to make a breakthrough from scratch, from 0 to 1. After achieving this breakthrough, it is just a matter of quantity, and this will be left to time.

At this time, the Fields Medal, which holds the Nobel Prize in Mathematics, naturally attracted attention. This time, the 2014 International Congress of Mathematicians was about to be held, and the country was naturally full of expectations. In 2010, dozens of mathematics professors jointly wrote

He wrote a letter to the International Union of Mathematicians opposing the awarding of the Fields Medal to Liu Yichen, which delayed China's achievement of zero breakthrough in the Fields Medal for four years.

This matter is still being brought up for flogging from time to time, especially as Liu Yichen's position becomes more and more stable, these things will always be dug out from time to time and then flogged at Yan Da, so that Yan Da will always be exposed from time to time.

Open scars.

And when the leader said this at the symposium, Yan Da was undoubtedly whipped again when it was reported. It was like being whipped for a while, and it was fun for a while, and it became the traffic of self-media.

Subsequently, the 55th International Mathematical Olympiad in 2014 was held in Cape Town, South Africa from July 3 to 13, 2014. The Chinese team won five gold medals and one silver medal and ranked first in the team with a total score of 201 points. One of them won

42 points perfect score gold medal.

When the news spread back to China, it once again aroused a lot of heated discussion. In recent years, with the emergence of Liu Yichen, the popularity of mathematics, physics, and chemistry has greatly increased, and people's attention to these competitions has greatly increased.

When I learned that the Chinese team once again won the first place as a team, I felt a deep sense of pride in my heart.

Liu Yichen is also happy for the impressive results achieved by the Huaxia team. This is a high school-level mathematics competition. It is a competition for talents from all over the world. It represents the strength of the reserve army. The good results achieved by the Huaxia team in IMO over the years represent the strength of the Chinese team.

Mathematics abilities are constantly improving.

This time, all six members of the Huaxia team were recommended by Kowloon University and entered the Department of Mathematics of Kowloon University.

In this competition, the Department of Mathematics of Yanda was completely at a disadvantage. Except for some students who won CMO gold medals, they all chose the Department of Mathematics of Kowloon University.

After all, although Kowloon University is newly built, Kowloon University has Liu Yichen, a banner figure in the Chinese mathematics community, and the teaching staff of the Department of Mathematics of Kowloon University is extremely luxurious. Most of them are PhD graduates from the Department of Mathematics of a world-famous university.

of.

As for those who have worked in mathematics departments of world-famous universities or as researchers in world-famous mathematics institutes, there are many of them.

As the '2014 World Congress of Mathematicians', a major mathematics event, continues to come, news about this event continues to increase, and news about Liu Yichen also increases suddenly. Whether it is domestic or foreign academic circles or media circles, they all agree that Liu Yichen

Will be a favorite to win the Fields Medal.

On August 12, Liu Yichen and Feng Lin arrived at Seoul Incheon International Airport. This time the '2014 World Congress of Mathematicians' will open at the Coex Convention and Exhibition Center in Seoul.

This time, the '2014 World Congress of Mathematicians' will last for 8 days from August 13th to 21st, 2014.

Unlike the Nobel Prize, where the winners are announced in advance and the winners can bring their relatives and friends to the award ceremony and the Nobel Prize dinner, although the award ceremony of the World Congress of Mathematicians is the focus, it is more of a platform for exchanges among mathematicians and an academic forum.

It is a feast of reports, so few mathematicians attending the conference will bring their relatives and friends.

Liu Yichen took Feng Lin with him this time because Feng Lin had never been to Goguryeo and wanted to stop by for a trip.

When they arrived at the airport, it was already early in the morning. The two of them were picked up by the organizer's vehicle and headed to a five-star hotel in the COEX Convention and Exhibition Center to stay.

For the World Congress of Mathematicians, most scholars pay for themselves, including food, accommodation, and transportation. The organizer will not undertake these, but for world-famous scholars, the organizer will still make arrangements in advance. After all, for such a person,

Extraordinarily, even the leader of a country would personally communicate with them on an equal footing to show the country's respect for academics.

Some people may complain, this is unfair!

But you must know that the whole world itself is unfair. Children born in wealthy families and children born in poor mountainous areas are destined to be unfair from birth!

Similarly, the social strata themselves are in the form of a pyramid, or the law of the jungle, with the strong being respected. This can range from the relationship between countries to the relationship between individuals.

Nowadays, circle culture is prevalent. People at any level will only come into contact with certain circles, and it is difficult to contact them upwards. This is a manifestation of respect for the strong.

Liu Yichen and the others were not the first to arrive in Seoul. There were many mathematicians who arrived in Seoul earlier than them. As many as 5,000 mathematicians gathered in Seoul, giving the city of Seoul an extra academic atmosphere.

If China's development is uneven across regions, then Goguryeo is definitely much better than China. Today, Goguryeo's total GDP is 1.31 trillion U.S. dollars and its population is 50.45 million. Seoul's GDP alone has reached 288 billion U.S. dollars, accounting for 22% of the population;

10.5 million people, accounting for 20.8%.

This has made Seoul the most developed and largest city in Goguryeo. Although it is not as good as Tokyo in Japan, it is also one of the famous world cities.

Of course, if Chinese people think of Seoul, the first impression may be of plastic surgery, and the second impression may be of cosmetics.

It can be said that Goguryeo's plastic surgery technology is world-famous. As a celebrity said, Goguryeo's stars are all artificial beauties and handsome men.

As for cosmetics, this popularity is probably due to the purchasing agents that started at some point.

Over the years, countless people have taken advantage of loopholes in the law, walked on the edge of the law, and made a fortune by purchasing on behalf of others. It is often girls who earn this part of the money, and the main consumers are basically girls.

2014, August 13, Seoul COEX Convention and Exhibition Center.

The venue was crowded.

As the largest and most important conference in the international mathematics community, the International Congress of Mathematicians is known as the Olympics in mathematics. From 1897 to the present, it has never been interrupted except for two world wars.

As an international conference that provides a space for mathematicians around the world to communicate, discuss academic issues, meet old friends, and make new friends, each conference plays a pivotal role in the history of mathematics.

The scale of this World Congress of Mathematicians is much larger than that held in India four years ago. More than 5,200 mathematicians and more than 20,000 ordinary people from 122 countries participated in this World Congress of Mathematicians. Goguryeo showed their understanding of mathematics.

The importance of the '2014 World Congress of Mathematicians' and the warm welcome to mathematicians from all over the world.

The local mathematicians in Goguryeo act as leaders and welcome mathematicians from all over the world. Unfortunately, although Goguryeo has some well-known mathematicians, there is not a single world-class mathematician, and he is definitely not considered good at mathematics.

As a powerful country in mathematics, even Goguryeo has achieved great results imo.

Wearing formal clothes, he arrived near the venue. In the corridor outside the venue, Liu Yichen happened to run into Professor Deligne, so the two of them entered the venue together.

Finding a less crowded place to stand not far from the door, Liu Yichen looked at his watch.

It's just eight o'clock now, and there's still an hour before the opening ceremony.

Professor Deligne smiled and said: "TV has applied to imu for the right to broadcast the conference live."

Liu Yichen glanced at the corner of the venue not far away. From the row of cameras, there was the TV logo.

Perhaps noticing his gaze, the guy carrying the camera cleverly pointed the camera towards him.

"IMU is very happy now. With the strong support of China in the last session, this session will not only get a lot of funding, but also greatly increase the visibility and authority. Now everyone is discussing, is

Why not find an opportunity to hold another session in China!" Professor Deligne said with a slight smile.

"Professor, Huaxia is an existence that no one or any organization can ignore. Miracles are happening on this land. In the future, if more professors come to Huaxia, you can see it!" Liu Yichen said with a faint smile.

A very important reason for the live broadcast on TV is that Liu Yichen is the most popular winner of the Fields Medal at this World Congress of Mathematicians.

The whole of China wants to witness this grand event through live broadcast and witness this historic scene in person.

"Yes, I think I will go to China next time. Don't forget that I am an honorary professor invited by you personally." Professor Deligne smiled and said, "Of course I am even more looking forward to you being able to solve the 'standard conjecture'.

This is not only His Majesty Grothendieck’s greatest wish, but also my greatest wish.”

"Standard conjecture, I think it is only a matter of time to solve it. Now we have made significant progress!" Liu Yichen said with a smile: "Maybe it will be this year, maybe next year, but I think within five years, we will be able to solve it."
Chapter completed!
