Chapter 182

2018, for most people, is just an ordinary year.

But for mathematicians, 2018 is a year of special significance, or called the "Year of the Philippine Prize"!

The Fields Medal, known as the "Nobel Prize in mathematics", because there is no Nobel Prize in mathematics in the Nobel Prize, so naturally, the Fields Medal is known as the highest award in the field of mathematics.

Awarded every four years, for three to four people at a time.

And this year is the year the quadrennial Fields Medal is awarded.

Every time the Fields Medal is approached, it attracts the attention of all the mathematical communities around the world.

After all, it represents the ultimate goal of countless mathematicians and the highest honor for mathematicians all over the world.

At the International Congress of Mathematicians, which is held every four years, in front of the world's top peers, the Fields Medal and the glorious coronation are the dreams of many mathematicians.

However, since the Fields Medal is known as the highest award in the field of mathematics, it is not so easy to get there.

Outstanding contributions to the field of mathematics are a must.

To run for the Fields Medal, you must have one or two top-notch research outputs.

In addition to this, there is one of the most basic conditions.

That is, the winner must be under the age of 40 before New Year's Day!

The purpose of the Fields Medal is to reward mathematicians who have made outstanding contributions, and once they are over 40 years old, the only award can be the Wolf Prize, which represents the Lifetime Achievement Award.

However, for most mathematicians, the age of forty generally represents the pinnacle of one's research.

At this age, he did not win a Fields Medal.

After the age of forty, even if there is no age limit for the Fields Medal, most mathematicians may not be able to produce academic results that compete for the Fields Medal.

The Fields Medal has been awarded since 1936, and as of 2018, a total of 56 Fields Medals have been awarded.

Unfortunately, though.

Of the 56 Fields Medal medals, none of them belong to Chinese mathematicians.

So far, only two mathematicians of Chinese descent have won the Fields Medal.

And there has not been a mathematician of Chinese descent in a hundred years.

However, over the years, there have been many Chinese mathematicians who have the strength to compete for their Fields Medals, but in the end they have no choice but to fall at the last hurdle.

But then again, this year's Fields Medal has little to do with Gu Lu.

The Fields Medal is too high, and Gu Lu's current strength is untouchable.

Gu was wondering if he could attend the International Congress of Mathematicians in Brazil in September this year and witness the presentation of the Fields Medal.

............

January 1, 2018.

On New Year's Day, the weather in Yanjing is getting colder and colder.

Gu Lu put on a down jacket and walked hard in the cold wind.

In the farm restaurant, Gu Lu was eating steamed buns and drinking millet porridge while swiping his mobile phone.

What caught my eye was a circle of friends that Bi Qi had just posted.

"When I woke up in the morning, I found that there were 364 days left before the New Year's Eve. Thinking back to the last New Year's Eve, it feels like it was just yesterday. Here, I wish you all a Happy Year of the Pig 2019 in advance!"

Gu Lu: "......"

Keep scrolling down, it's Su Xi's circle of friends posted last night.

"Guess what New Year's Resolution I made?"

Attached below is a photo of Su Xi looking up at the starry sky.

There was a reply from Su Ling under the circle of friends, "I know, but I don't dare to say it." ”

Gu Lu replied below, "Have a successful career and work smoothly?"

Ding Dong, not long after Gu Lu finished this sentence, he saw Su Xi >

Su Xi: "Teacher Gu, you guessed wrong!"

Su Ling: "Wow, capture a Teacher Gu alive!"

Su Xi: "Teacher Gu, I'll give you another chance, hint, it's related to someone?"

Gu Lu: "People, do I know that person?"

Su Xi: "You not only know, but also know each other. ”

Gu Lu: "Then, you must wish your sister Su Ling good health and a long life!"

Su Xi: "......"

Su Ling: "It's none of my business. ”

After chatting with Su Xi and Su Ling sisters in the circle of friends, Gu Lu walked out of the cafeteria and came to the office against the cold wind.

On New Year's Day, students have a holiday, which means that teachers are also on holiday.

The two teachers in the same office as Gu Lu all went home on vacation to accompany their wives and children.

Only Gu Lu is a lonely single dog, who has nothing to worry about, and still comes to the office on New Year's Day.

In a blink of an eye, more than a dozen hours passed.

Gu Lu rubbed his sore eyes, closed the computer, and locked the office door.

Then put on a down jacket and came to the scene of the New Year's Day party of the School of Mathematics tonight.

The venue for the New Year's party was in a small hall.

The student council is basically an invitation to every teacher in the math school, so there are not a few teachers who come.

The New Year's Day party is a stage for teachers and students to have fun.

Showing the invitation letter, Gu Lu walked into the hall under the guidance of two male greeters.

That's right, it's the male welcome!

There is no way, the resources of the girls in the academy are too poor, and every girl is arched as a national treasure, how can she not pity them to be the welcome.

So the job of welcoming guests can only be done by boys.

Although it is full of a sense of disobedience, the situation is such that it has to be adapted to local conditions.

Not long after Gu Lu sat down, he smelled a familiar faint aroma coming from the side.

Turning his head to look, he just met Su Xi's smiling face.

"Teacher Gu, Happy New Year's Day!" Su Xi greeted with a sweet smile.

"You...... Why are you here?" Gu Lu was a little surprised.

It's not ...... Is there a New Year's Day party held by the Academy?

Su Xi explained to Gu Lu with a smile, "The sponsor that your college has found for the New Year's Day party happens to be one of the chain branches of a subsidiary of our group. ”

Gu Lu: "......"

As the sponsor of the New Year's Day party of the Academy, Su Xi got a ticket, which was simply not too simple.

After the two chatted and talked, the New Year's Day party began.

Su Xi had accompanied Gu Lu to listen to many academic lectures, but most of the highly professional, complex and esoteric lectures Su Xi fell asleep after hearing half of them.

This time it is rare that it is no longer an academic lecture, but a wonderful New Year's Day party.

Just because Yan students study well doesn't mean they are poorly talented.

On the contrary, many of the talents of Yan University students are comparable to those of professional level.

Piano, Latin dance, ethnic dance, singing and dancing, rap, and the freestyle basketball performed by Cai Kunxu all attracted applause.

The party went on until mid-term.

As one of the hosts, Bi Qi held the microphone and announced the next performance, which was also a group performance in their dormitory.

"Below, please enjoy the chorus song brought by the 2017 class 203 dormitory - "Sleep on my brother's top bunk"!"

Audience: "......"
