Chapter 392 Morningside Mathematics Award
Chapter 392
The Morningside Mathematics Prize was established in the 1990s.
It is the highest mathematics award in the Chinese field of mathematics.
Therefore it is called ‘Chinese Fields’!
This award is established for Chinese mathematicians under the age of 40 who have made outstanding achievements in basic mathematics and applied mathematics.
The review committee consists of nine top non-Chinese mathematicians.
The original purpose of allowing non-Chinese mathematicians to form the review committee was to avoid the phenomenon of favoritism, relationship building, and seniority in the selection process of this award.
This can ensure the standard of the award-winning results and the fairness and objectivity of the award-winning process.
Morningstar Mathematicians have always maintained the concept of fairness and impartiality.
Coupled with the strong support of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Mathematical Society, it has naturally become the first award in the field of Chinese mathematics!
There is of course a reason why Bao Songquan is now talking to Gu Lu about this award.
Bao Songquan pondered for a moment and then spoke slowly, "Gu Lu, tomorrow, the nomination list for this year's Morningside Mathematics Award will be announced."
Gu Lu was confused.
Since the nomination list will be announced tomorrow, why did Senior Brother Bao call him here today?
"But..." Bao Songquan changed his words and then said, "I learned through other channels that your name, Gu Lu, is on this year's nomination list!"
There will be ten names on the nomination list for each Morningstar Mathematics Award.
And according to convention.
The Morning Star Mathematics Prize will award two gold medals and three silver medals.
There are five award places in total.
It can be said that as long as the name is on the nomination list, there is a half chance of winning the award.
This probability is very high.
Now, Gu Lu's name appears on the nomination list, coupled with Gu Lu's performance and many major achievements he published some time ago.
Bao Songquan can almost slap his chest to confirm.
Gu Lu will definitely bring back another Morningside Mathematics Award trophy for their Yanda Mathematics Institute this time!
"Gu Lu, what's wrong? Judging from your expression, you seem a little unhappy?" Bao Songquan looked at the expressionless Gu Lu with confusion.
A smile appeared on Gu Lu's face, and he forced a smile and said, "I'm happy, of course I'm happy!"
The Morning Star Mathematics Award Ceremony will be held in Shanghai.
Since Gu Lu has been nominated, he must participate regardless of whether he wins or not.
Because this is an award jointly organized by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Mathematical Society, Gu Lu couldn’t go without it.
But Gu Lu's trip, including the award ceremony and dinner, took almost two or three days.
Gu Lu was really in severe pain.
But I still had to keep a smile on my face.
Gu Lu knew that Bao Songquan still valued the Morning Star Mathematics Award very much.
Currently, Yanda Mathematics Institute has four Morning Star Mathematics Award trophies.
Two gold medals and two silver medals.
Bao Songquan had a chance to compete for the Morning Star Mathematics Award that year, but for some reasons, he did not get the chance to be nominated.
Therefore, Bao Songquan has always been obsessed with this award.
In fact, when it comes to international influence alone.
The Morning Star Mathematics Award is just about the same as the Clay Mathematics Research Award that Gu Lu just won some time ago.
The Morning Star Mathematics Award is only very influential in the circle of Chinese mathematicians.
But looking at the world, compared with awards such as the Fields Medal, Wolf Medal, and Abel Prize, it is not at the same level at all.
but……
Having said that, if Gu Lu can win a Morning Star Mathematics Award trophy, there will be many benefits.
First, at home.
The Morningstar Mathematics Prize is very valuable.
It is almost on par with top awards in the field such as the Veblen Prize and the Kohl Prize.
Another point.
Although Gu Lu has been hailed as the first person of the young generation in Chinese mathematics circles.
But there is no official certification.
And if Gu Luyao wins the Morningside Mathematics Prize at the age of 24, he becomes the youngest winner since the award was founded.
Gu Lu's body was equivalent to being stamped with an official seal.
Gu Lu’s position as the ‘number one’ will be much more stable!
One final point.
This is also the most critical point in Gu Lu’s opinion.
That is, after winning the Morning Star Mathematics Award, the system will reward you with some mall points accordingly.
During this period, Gu Lu bought a lot of primary fatigue potions and liver-exploding potions. The points in the mall dropped quickly, and he urgently needed new points to be added to his account.
"This year's Morning Star Mathematics Award Ceremony is tentatively scheduled for December 15th, which is almost half a month away. Please prepare during this time, and I will accompany you there then." Bao Songquan said with a smile.
.
The previous Veblen Prize award ceremony and Clay Mathematics Research Award ceremony were held abroad, and Gu Lu went to receive the award alone both times.
And this time.
The awards ceremony was held in Shanghai, and Bao Songquan decided to accompany Gu Lu there.
Every Morning Star Mathematics Award ceremony will bring together most of the leading mathematicians in various fields in the domestic mathematics community.
This time I accompanied Gu Lu there, and I happened to be the matchmaker for Gu Lu and the group of people to get to know each other.
In Chinese academic circles, it is still necessary to have good relationships.
"Senior brother, do you want to go there too?" Gu Lu raised his head and asked in confusion.
"Yes." Bao Songquan nodded lightly, with a smile on his face, "It's just right to take you to meet a group of my old friends."
"By the way." Bao Songquan changed his words and asked, "How is the progress of the project you and Simon collaborated on?"
"It went smoothly!"
Even with Gu Lv's stack of liver-exploding potions, the progress of the project was relatively smooth.
It will take less than five months for the project to be completed.
"As long as everything goes well." Bao Songquan said with a kind smile on his face, "After all, this is a protracted battle of one or two years. You still have to pay attention to your health and don't overwork yourself. It's not worth it to tire your body!"
One or two years?
Gu Lu was stunned for a moment.
I don’t need that long!
…………
Another week.
It's early December.
According to Gu Lu's plan, the progress of the project was even slightly faster than originally planned.
Gu Lu’s drug-taking journey continues.
It's still a pleasure working with Simon.
Comrade Simon seemed to have truly figured out his position and began to fully cooperate with Gu Lu's work.
When Gu Lu had classes, Simon would sit alone in the cubicle and study alone.
Gu Lu had no class, so the two of them sat at the conference table in the office, discussing and studying.
Every night at two or three in the morning, Simon came to Gu Lu's house on time for dinner.
When he got tired of the noodles, he asked Gu Lu to make him other dishes.
At that time, Gu Lu had a flash of inspiration.
I made Simon a bucket of Master Kong brand braised beef noodles.
"Gu Lu, what is this?"
"Braised beef noodles, the ones you had at the restaurant before."
"But I don't remember it like this."
"Well, the two are indeed a little different, because there is beef in it, which is very conscientious!"
"Then let me try it...ah, it's delicious!"
"Then I'll make it for you every day so you can enjoy it!"
It’s not easy to eat instant noodles!
Chapter completed!
