There are also two winners of the Hua Luogeng Mathematics Award, namely "Zhang Gongqing" from the Department of Mathematics of Yanda and "Li Banghe" from the Institute of Mathematics and Systems Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in recognition of their contributions in the development of Chinese mathematics.

Make outstanding contributions and promote the development of Chinese mathematics.

The two of them won the Hua Luogeng Mathematics Award, which is well deserved. They need results and prestige. One is in his seventies and the other is in his sixties.

This year’s Chung Jiaqing Mathematics Award is different from previous ones in that there are only four winners, while the previous one had eight winners.

None of the candidates nominated by the Yanda Institute of Mathematics won the Chung Jiaqing Mathematics Award.

Looking at the dark faces of the leaders and professors of the School of Mathematics at Yanda who were not far away, Liu Yichen smiled to himself. To be honest, this was not beyond his expectation.

In the field of mathematics in China, the Mathematics Department of Yanda is the only one that dominates the mathematics majors in Chinese universities. However, outside of Yanda, there has always been a voice in the mathematics departments of those universities that it is not a good thing for the Mathematics Department of Yanda to be the only one.

"Flower is not spring, a hundred flowers bloom and the garden is full of spring". He also believes that the reason why the Chinese mathematics community has never produced a top mathematician in the world is because there is no fierce competition and it is too comfortable.

Therefore, they have always hoped to break the dominance of one family in the Department of Mathematics at Yanda.

The Chung Jiaqing Mathematics Award is awarded to master’s and doctoral students majoring in mathematics. There is a lot of potential for articles here, because at this level, the Department of Mathematics at YSU does not have a particularly obvious advantage. Those extremely outstanding mathematical geniuses are undergraduates at YSU.

After graduation, students often choose to study abroad at universities such as Princeton University, Harvard University, MIT, UCLA, Oxford University, Cambridge University, Ecole Normale Supérieure, Moscow State University, University of Tokyo, etc., which have stronger mathematics departments than YSU.

Therefore, other Chinese universities still have outstanding doctoral students at the same level as the Department of Mathematics at Yanda, and under the same circumstances, doctoral students from other universities have a greater probability of winning the Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Award.

"Liu Yichen, as the youngest winner in history and known as a mathematical genius, how do you evaluate yourself?" After the award ceremony, the reporters immediately split up to interview the winners, and Liu Yichen, the most talked about person, attracted 70% of the people

reporter.

"Mathematical genius?" Liu Yichen shook his head and said, "No, I'm just an ordinary person, just an ordinary person who likes mathematics!"

Kakaka, what an ordinary person, reporters took photos like crazy!

Liu Yichen is an ordinary person. He won the IMO Gold Medal with perfect scores and the IMO Champion Cup in high school. He got a perfect score of 750 in the college entrance examination. He just entered college and solved two world-class mathematics problems. He is the youngest winner of the Ramanu Gold Medal and the youngest winner of the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award!

At this moment, the reporters were secretly happy. They were not afraid of you pretending to be a bad person, not afraid that you liked to perform, but just afraid that you would not be popular in the news. With this sentence, the news would be there.

"But Liu Yichen, the outside world generally thinks that you are not ordinary. You have won the Ramanujan Gold Medal and the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award, the highest honor in Chinese mathematics, at the age of only 19. You have already mastered three SCI papers in mathematics. This is already unique among others.

A scholar may not complete a large amount of papers in ten, twenty years or even a lifetime. Some media think that the term 'student master' invented by you is very suitable for you. Do you think you are a scholar?" The reporter asked again.

"A top student!?" Liu Yichen pondered for a moment: "Oh, top students are very hard-working. I really don't want to be a top student!"

When the reporters heard Liu Yichen's words, they all showed surprise and looked at Liu Yichen in confusion.

It's so cool to be a top student, but it's like a dimensionality-reducing blow to the ordinary people around you.

"When I was in high school, others were playing and I was reading in the library. Others were on winter vacation. During the summer vacation, I was still immersed in books. After the college entrance examination, others were traveling around. I was immersed in the ocean of mathematics in the Yanda Library.

So much so that my girlfriend would always say jealously: What I love most is mathematics, not her!" Liu Yichen said with emotion.

"Everyone says that I am a billionaire, but other billionaires live a chic life, traveling around the world, with beautiful women and luxury cars all over the warehouse, but I am like an ascetic, studying boring and interesting mathematics." Liu Yichen

He said with a faint smile.

Liu Yichen's words immediately made the reporters feel sympathetic, and at the same time they also felt a lot more balanced. Look, billionaires are just ordinary people, and they are not any better than them.

"Do you think mathematics requires talent? Is it suitable for ordinary people to major in mathematics?" Another beautiful reporter asked a question that has been very popular recently.

"There is no doubt that among all subjects, mathematics requires the most talent, especially pure mathematics, which requires strong talent. If you have never won an award in CMO, I actually do not recommend choosing pure mathematics, but choose mathematics.

Applied or interdisciplinary majors between mathematics and other disciplines." Liu Yichen said sternly: "No matter how hard ordinary people work and how serious they are, in fact, their achievements in the research of pure mathematics are extremely limited. In the research of pure mathematics, there is no need to be sophisticated!

"

The reporters all looked surprised. You must know that the Chinese Mathematical Society has been vigorously promoting people to learn mathematics in recent years, so that tens of thousands of mathematics majors enter the mathematics department every year.

It's good now, Liu Yichen actually said this.

In fact, in Liu Yichen's mind, mathematics is really too demanding on talent. Even if ordinary people struggle to get a doctorate in mathematics, what's the use? They are still learning mathematical knowledge from two to three hundred years ago, instead of innovating and mastering the knowledge inside.

Mathematical thinking, let alone absorbing the latest mathematical results.

At the current undergraduate level, most of the mathematical knowledge is based on the mathematical knowledge system constructed by Gauss, Euler, and Riemann two to three hundred years ago. But that's it. Among the universities, the number of students who fail the mathematics exam is always the highest.

The number far exceeds other subjects.

Many students who study physics also need to learn a lot of mathematics. However, by the time they obtain a Ph.D. in physics, their mathematics level is often not as good as that of undergraduate mathematics majors.

The development of mathematics has never depended on ordinary mathematicians, but on top mathematicians, who are the ones who drive the development of mathematics.

At this point, Liu Yichen prefers overseas elite education, concentrating superior resources to cultivate talented people, and cultivating them into talents as much as possible. Instead of a large number of ordinary mathematics practitioners, those who should receive a large number of resources are instead

No resources.

Moreover, Liu Yichen does not really agree with the utilitarianism of the Chinese mathematics community in mathematical research. When the Chinese mathematics community applies for a scientific research grant, it often takes a year to produce scientific research results. However, you must know how easy it is to produce results in mathematical research.

, let alone producing scientific research results in one year, it may not be possible to produce scientific research results in ten years.

And under this kind of utilitarianism, the result is that you are flooded with papers to cope with assessment, performance, and all kinds of bad papers. Otherwise, if you don't have papers, you may not have a bonus, or even be demoted from professor to associate professor.

In the evening, Liu Yichen came to a seafood food stall.

"Liu Yichen, this way!" Qiu Chengtong stood up and waved to Liu Yichen.

"Professor Qiu!" Liu Yichen came over. There were three tables here, all of them mathematicians from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

Qiu Chengtong took the initiative to introduce these people to Liu Yichen, and Liu Yichen shook hands with these people one after another. They all seemed very friendly, and the two sides exchanged pleasantries.

This time, it was Qiu Chengtong who took the initiative to invite him and specially introduced him to the mathematics circle in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. Although they all talk about the Chinese mathematics circle, the forces are actually complex. There are also the Mathematics Department of Yanda, the Shuimu Mathematics Department, the Nankai School, the Chinese Academy of Sciences School, and Fudan University.

Schools, etc.

The mathematics circles in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan are also a very strong force, such as Zheng Shaoyuan, Liu Jiacheng, Mo Yiming, Tan Lianhui, Wang Shiquan, etc., all of them are regarded as outstanding figures!

The mathematics majors of the Chinese University of Hong Kong and the University of Hong Kong are extremely strong, and it is precisely these outstanding mathematics scholars who are behind them.

At the beginning, everyone was a little cautious, after all, the environment was still very different, but as the food was served and the wine was drunk, the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

Although the wine table culture is constantly criticized nowadays, it has to be said that it is not unreasonable for China’s wine table culture to be so popular, and it can play a great role in social interaction.

"Liu Yichen, do you plan to study at Harvard University? If you are willing, I will write you a letter of recommendation and become my student. Or go to the Chinese University of Hong Kong. I think the Chinese University of Hong Kong is willing to appoint you as a full professor. With your expertise in number theory

His achievements have reached world-class levels." Qiu Chengtong drank a bottle of beer and said with a smile: "I also heard about the joke that Yan University made some time ago. He is my student, and I know him very well.

To be honest, I shouldn't have encouraged the situation in the first place. Maybe it would be a good thing for him to let him experience more."

Liu Yichen was surprised. When their master and apprentice had a falling out, Professor Qiu was so angry that since then, Harvard University's Department of Mathematics has been refusing to recruit students from Yanda's Department of Mathematics. Unexpectedly, now it has extended an olive branch.

To be honest, the conflict between the two is their master's affair, and Liu Yichen doesn't want to get involved.

"Professor Qiu, thank you for your kindness. I think next year or the year after that, I should choose to go to Princeton University for further study." Liu Yichen smiled and declined Qiu Chengtong's olive branch.

"Princeton University is not bad. You should be able to learn a lot there. I hope you can grow up quickly. By then, the power of our mathematical community will be further enhanced and we will have more say." Qiu Chengtong nodded.

At the age of 60, he is not focused on scientific research, but on cultivating talents. This is why he cooperated with Shuimu University to establish a mathematics research center. Of course, he chose Shuimu University. There are some reasons and reasons for this.

It's my own little thought.
