Chapter 266

Sitting next to Gu Lu was a mathematician named Matthews.

Focusing on the direction of analytic geometry, its position in the field of analytic geometry belongs to the leaders of the younger generation.

And sitting next to Matthews was Simon.

Simon entered around half-past seven.

Guided by the waiter to his place, Simon saw Gu Lu at a glance.

Coincidentally, Gu Lu raised his head at this time, and his eyes met Simon's.

Simon's expression ached, "Why are you here?"

Gu Lu smiled, "Why can't I be here." ”

Seat in the row of the International Mathematical Union, blame me!

Simon snorted coldly, put the tablet on the conference table in front of him, and sat down straight, ignoring Gu Lu.

And Gu Lu was happy to do so.

While searching for the big guys who came in at the door of the conference room, they waited quietly for the meeting to begin.

It wasn't until around 7:50 that the group of bigwigs in the first row entered one after another.

A total of 13 Philippine Award winners participated in this conference.

Add in the four Fields Medals that will be awarded, and that makes a total of seventeen.

This lineup can be described as quite luxurious.

As strong as Princeton University, with a history of 100 years, there are only 15 Filipino Prize winners.

And the Filipino Award winners who are still alive, if you do a careful calculation, it is estimated that there are only twenty or thirty.

Perhaps, only the International Congress of Mathematicians, known as the highest level of mathematicians, can gather so many Filipino Prize winners!

…………

At eight o'clock, in the anticipation of everyone, the 28th International Congress of Mathematicians officially opened.

The first item of the opening ceremony was naturally the usual speech session.

Mr. Gones-Holstead, the current President of the International Union of Mathematicians, gave a brief speech and summarized the many achievements in the field of mathematics in the past four years.

At the same time, he highly praised and affirmed the current situation of the thriving mathematical community and the vigorous development of research work, and hoped that mathematicians from all over the world would make persistent efforts to make greater contributions to the development of the world mathematical community.

The crowd listened to the president's speech with almost rolling their eyes.

The official tone of this president is simply a fight with some politicians in China!

After the chairman finished speaking, it was the turn of the official personnel of the Chinese government to appear.

First of all, the leader expressed a warm welcome to mathematicians from all over the world who came from thousands of miles to participate in this International Congress of Mathematicians.

He also said that mathematicians from all over the world must feel at home.

Strive to make this International Congress of Mathematicians a milestone in the history of world mathematics.

Then, it's bar, bar, bar......

This leader is worthy of being the leader of China.

After an hour, his face is still not red, his breath is not panting, and he looks no different from an hour ago.

Even Gu Lu, who grew up in a Chinese education environment, still has a feeling that he can't hold on.

Not to mention those mathematicians from abroad.

They've never seen such a battle!

But this is an international congress of mathematicians!

In the conference room, I don't know how many high-definition cameras are shooting!

They don't dare to sleep at all.

Finally, when everyone was fighting between the upper and lower eyelids, the boring speech session finally ended.

And Gu Lu immediately became energetic.

Next, the highlight of this year's mathematicians conference is the awarding of awards.

In fact, the so-called award is not the Fields Medal. However, because the Philippine Prize is too representative and the gold content is the highest among all mathematics awards, it is well-known to everyone.

In addition to the Fields Medal, the conference also presented three or four awards, including the Wanlina Prize in the field of information science, the Gauss Award in the field of applied mathematics, and the Lilavoti Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Public Promotion of Mathematics.

As the main event, the award of the Fields Medal must be placed last.

…………

It was almost ten o'clock when the long-awaited award ceremony began!

The Wan Lina Prize in the field of information science was won by two mathematicians from New York University and Cambridge University.

The Gauss Prize, named after the great mathematician Gauss, was awarded to a mathematician from the island nation who majored in mathematical physics.

The Lilavoti Prize was awarded to a young professor from Switzerland.

The Fields Medal is presented by the President of the International Union of Mathematicians.

Mr. Gonds stood on the podium with an envelope in his hand, "The name of the Fields Medal winner is written in this envelope in my hand, and now, let us unwrap him." ”

Mr. Goehns opened the envelope, took out one of the cards inside, and said aloud, "I now declare to you that the mathematician who won the 28th Fields Medal is ......."

"Professor Konstantin from ETH Zurich, Switzerland!"

"Professor Beched from Princeton University!"

"Professor Bikal from the University of Cambridge in Yingguo!"

"Professor Sun Yukun from the National University of Singapore!"

Not surprisingly, no Chinese mathematician has won the Philippine Prize.

The golden generation of mathematicians in China, who have high hopes in China, will not have hope until at least the next session.

The four award-winning mathematicians, in the envious eyes of everyone, stood up and walked onto the stage of the auditorium.

The award period of the Philippine Award is set at the age of forty, so the appearance of the four of them does not look big. But the achievements in the field of mathematics are no less than those of some veteran mathematicians.

Needless to say, Konstantin, from the University of Zurich in Switzerland, will not be impossible to become the first person in mathematics in more than a decade, as long as the momentum is maintained as it is now.

The other three, except for the one from the National University of Singapore, who is a bit weak, the remaining two are also among the leaders in their respective fields.

With the Philippine Prize in hand, the status of the four of them as mathematicians can be further improved.

The Fields Medal is hailed as the highest award in the international mathematical community, and not without reason.

Because the gold content of the Fields Medal is indeed extremely high.

Basically, the mathematicians who stood at the top of the world's pyramid, whether it was or are now, have won Fields Medals.

I have to admit that 30 to 40 years old is the golden age for a scientific research worker.

The Fields Medal is awarded at the age of forty.

This means that most of the mathematical geniuses have already made their mark in their respective fields.

The Fields Medal is based on the selection of the best.

With the exception of a very small number of late-bloomers, most mathematicians are eligible for selection.

As a result, the winners of each edition of the Philippine Prize are outstanding talents from hundreds of thousands of mathematicians.

Such talents, as long as they do not go down the wrong path in the future, will become a giant mathematician in the future, which is simply a sure thing.
