Chapter 553 World University Rankings
Chapter 553
"The flower of the heart
I want to take you home
In that late night bar
It doesn't matter if it's true or not."
The radio station in the car was playing "Wolf Disco", which had been on fire during this time, Gu Lu took out his mobile phone and looked at the caller's display.
It was Bao Songquan who called.
Gu Lu chose to connect.
"Hey, brother. ”
"Gu Lu, are you off work now?"
"I just got off work and was on my way back, senior brother, what's wrong, is there anything urgent?" Gu Lu asked suspiciously.
"Gu Lu, I have good news for you. Bao Songquan's suppressed excited tone came from the other side of the phone.
"Good news?" Gu Lu was stunned.
"Just now, QS announced the new year's world university rankings on its official website!" Bao Songquan said with a smile.
It's the QS World University Rankings!
Gu Lu has been busy with the affairs of the research group during this time, and almost forgot about this important matter.
Normally, in August and September of each year, major authoritative institutions will publish the world university rankings on their official websites.
And today is the end of August.
Calculating the time, it should be the time when major international authorities begin to announce the list one after another.
The QS World University Rankings, as the most credible and well-known ranking list in the world, was also officially announced today.
For this list ranking, Gu Luke is very concerned.
Because of the main task that Gu Lu is doing, the requirement is to rank the mathematics major of Yan University into the top five of the QS World University Mathematics Rankings within four years!
After being stunned for a few seconds, Gu Lu held his mobile phone and asked eagerly, "Senior brother, how many of our mathematics majors at Yan University are ranked this time?"
After saying this, Gu Lu fell into apprehension in his heart.
Let's be honest.
Gu Lu has no score in his heart for Yan University's mathematics major to be ranked among the few in the world this time.
Although the rise in the rankings is already a sure thing.
But the concept of moving forward one or two and advancing three or four places is completely different.
Bao Songquan didn't hang Gu Lu on his side, but laughed and said, "18! This time, our Department of Mathematics of Yan University is ranked 18th in the world!haha!"
Eighteen!
Gu Lu, who heard this ranking, breathed a sigh of relief, and a big smile appeared on his face.
This ranking...... It's already very satisfying to Gu Lu.
You know, at this time last year, the Department of Mathematics of Yan University was only ranked 21st in the world!
And this time, he can rise three places in one go, and raise his ranking to eighteenth, Gu Lu is already very satisfied.
It's been mentioned before.
Those top universities ranked in the world's top 50 universities are not easy to move up the rankings at all, but it is extremely difficult.
Because when you are improving, others are also improving.
And on this world list, it still follows the principle that the strong are stronger and the weak are weaker.
After all, the higher the rankings, the easier it is to attract high-quality students and excellent faculty, while the lower the rankings are less attractive to talent.
Therefore, it is quite difficult to achieve a counterattack on such a highly competitive list and complete a substantial increase in the ranking.
The reason why the Department of Mathematics of Yan University was able to jump three levels in a row and achieve the leap from 21st to 18th place can be mainly attributed to three reasons.
The first point is that the School of Mathematics of Yan University has added four high-ranking visiting professors.
Simon, Constantine, Carr, and Alec are all the world's top genius mathematicians, and after being hired as visiting professors by Yan University through various means, those authoritative institutions will count Simon and the other four in the evaluation of the faculty of the Department of Mathematics of Yan University, and the Department of Mathematics of Yan University can add a lot of points to this item.
The second point is that Bao Songquan has obtained the title of academician.
Almost a month ago, Bao Songquan was officially selected by the Chinese Academy of Sciences as one of the new academicians this year, and at the same time became one of the few academician-level bigwigs of the Yan University Academy of Mathematics.
As mentioned before, in the international authoritative institutions, there are outstanding young people and scholars of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, but that institution does not recognize them.
However, as one of the unified senior titles in the world, academician has a very high gold content no matter which country it is in.
As a result, Bao Songquan's academician title can add a lot of points to the evaluation of the Department of Mathematics of Yan University.
As for the last reason, it is Gu Lu.
Who has been the most popular mathematician in mathematics in the past year?
There is no doubt that there is no choice but Gu Lu.
Gu Lu's performance in the past year is enough to be described as amazing.
The publication of nearly ten world-class research results has stunned the attention of many industry peers.
BAB conjecture, equal difference prime conjecture, special Hodge conjecture......
Many major conjectures that have plagued the entire mathematical community for many years have collapsed in front of Gu Lu, and then Gu Lu obediently cut off his arrogant head.
Countless young mathematicians regard Gu Lu as an idol to worship.
The world's top 10 universities have thrown olive branches to Gu Lu at any cost.
It can be said that ......
Gu Lu's name is almost deified in the mathematical world.
Even compared with some of the older generation of mathematicians standing at the top of the pyramid, although Gu Lu will be slightly inferior in academic achievements, in terms of fame and popularity, Gu Lu is completely forbidden to those who stand at the top of the pyramid.
Now, in the entire international mathematical community, except for those mathematicians who work behind closed doors, there is hardly anyone who has not heard of Gu Lu's name.
Moreover, no one regarded Gu Lu as a young man who was only twenty-five years old.
Gu Lu's academic strength has made people forget his real age.
Gu Lu has many titles in the mathematical community.
For example, he is the first young generation in the field of mathematics in China, one of the five geniuses in the field of algebraic geometry, the new all-round mathematical king, and the predetermined candidate for the next Fields Medal.
Any title is taken out, and I am afraid it is an achievement that other mathematicians will not be able to achieve in a lifetime.
And when those authoritative institutions are ranking the Department of Mathematics of Yan University as a whole, Gu Lu is of course an existence that cannot be ignored.
Gu Lu's light was so dazzling that it was not feasible to ignore it.
And because of the existence of Gu Lu, the Department of Mathematics of Yan University has made all the achievements of Gu Lu in the past year to be counted on the head of the Department of Mathematics of Yan University.
How productive Gu Lu has been in the past year, no one can say clearly.
It is not an exaggeration to say that one person is worth five.
And even to some extent.
The Department of Mathematics of Yan University has Gu Lu, and the number of papers produced each year is more than that of holding two Philippine Prize winners.
Although Gu Lu has temporarily withdrawn from the mathematics world, Gu Lu is still quite young!
When Gu Lu returns, as long as the previous efficiency is maintained, it will be difficult for the ranking of the Department of Mathematics of Yan University to improve.
Therefore, when conducting the evaluation, Gu Lu alone added a lot of points to the Department of Mathematics of Yan University.
It's a simple measurement.
It was Gu Lu who alone made the Department of Mathematics of Yan University rise by two places on the list.
The first and second reasons were added together, which promoted the Department of Mathematics of Yan University by one place.
