Chapter 456

November 10th.

The capital of the United States, New York.

The award ceremony of the 16th Wiblen Prize was held in the Great Hall of the headquarters of the Mathematical Society of the United States.

More than 300 mathematicians attended the ceremony.

The big guys in digital geometry and topology came to the scene.

For example, Professor Fresnel, the prover of Poincaré's conjecture, and Professor Dexter, who has the title of "Emperor of Topology......

As candidates, Cheng Nuo and the other five nominated mathematicians sat in the second row of the auditorium.

Mr. Ode Lens, the president of the Mathematical Society of the United States, who is nearly seventy years old, walked tremblingly to the microphone on crutches.

From the staff member, he received a sealed letter with the list of winners of this year's Wiblen Prize.

In front of everyone's attention, President Odeh tore open the envelope and pulled out a piece of cardboard.

There are three people's names written on it.

"I am delighted to be able to present this sacred award once again. The Wiblen Prize has been around for nearly 50 years. The award was established to recognize mathematicians who have made significant contributions to the fields of geometry and topology. Honor the application of their research results. I try to let the world recognize the weight of Wiblen's award. In his small voice, President Oder said, "Now I can say with certainty that we did. And those award-winning mathematicians have lived up to our trust, and continue to insist on shining in the cause of mathematics, climbing one limit after another. ”

"Now, it is up to me to announce the winners of the sixteenth edition of Veblen, and they are ......"

President Oder's voice suddenly increased.

Everyone in the audience also pricked up their ears, looking forward to this tense moment.

"They are: Cheng Nuo, Noah Emmett, Kenneth Emmett, Let's congratulate these three mathematicians!"

At the scene, the applause was thunderous!

Hearing his name, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Cheng Nuo's mouth.

Although it was expected by myself, it was indeed a joy to receive the Wiblen Award.

Although the Wiblen Award is not well known to the public, the gold content in the industry is very high.

Especially in the field of geometry and topology, the prize is second only to the Fields Medal, the highest award in mathematics.

Sometimes, with such an award in hand, it is enough to stay in a university and wait for death.

Of course, Cheng Nuo's goal is the Fields Medal, and he will never stop moving forward just because he won the Wiblen Award.

Next, I would like to invite the three award-winning mathematicians to the stage to receive the awards. ”

Under the envious gaze of a group of mathematicians, Cheng Nuo and the other two award-winning mathematicians got up and walked onto the stage.

When the upright and handsome young Cheng Nuo stood on the podium, he instantly became the focus of everyone.

I have long heard that there is a young mathematician named Cheng Nuo who rose to prominence some time ago and became the favorite to win the Wiblen Prize.

Now seeing Cheng Nuo's true appearance, the group of elderly mathematicians are all speechless and scratching their thinning hair.

Cheng Nuo, even if he is young, the key is ...... It's so handsome.

Looking at Cheng Nuo who was shining brightly on the stage, he knew that he was an award-winning mathematician, but he didn't know that he thought it was a special guest star invited by the Mathematics Society!

President Oder hung three medals made of pure gold around the necks of the three men, and then handed each of them a red-skinned certificate.

At the age of 21, Cheng Nuo also became the youngest winner of the Wiblen Prize!

Subsequently, the three award-winning winners took turns to deliver their acceptance speeches.

Cheng Nuo also said some clichés such as thanking the school, the teachers, and the parents, and returned to his seat amid the applause of everyone.

After the awards, there was also a dinner party.

As the youngest winner in history, Cheng Nuo is naturally the focus of attention.

Many people came to talk to Cheng Nuo, some to talk about some academic issues, and some simply to establish a relationship with Cheng Nuo.

Cheng Nuo has a promising future, and there is a mountain of Professor Fresnel standing behind him, they don't want to be friends with Cheng Nuo, they just want not to befriend Cheng Nuo.

Cheng Nuo also came and did not refuse.

He is only now in contact with the "high-end society" of the mathematical world in a real sense, and the academic atmosphere in the United States does not exist, and Cheng Nuo does not need to stand in line.

Befriending more mathematicians from major universities is only good for yourself, not harmful.

In the conversation with Cheng Nuo, everyone also found that Cheng Nuo was not as arrogant and unsightly as they imagined, but he was very humble, saying that he was very young, and he would need the guidance of his predecessors in the future.

After the dinner, they spent the night in the hotel, and then rushed back to MIT with Professor Fresnel and several MIT mathematicians.

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

In terms of title, Cheng Nuo is currently an associate professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

However, this semester, due to the class schedule, Cheng Nuo has no teaching tasks. Cheng Nuo also wanders around the experimental building and the library every day.

However, a few days later, Cheng Nuo still received an invitation from the academy to give a lecture on Jacoby's conjecture.

Cheng Nuo remembered that Professor Fresnel mentioned it to him more than a month ago. But then I was busy working on my graduation thesis and resigned.

But Cheng Nuo is now a full-time employee of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and there is no important work at hand, so it is no longer easy to refuse.

After determining the time with the college, Cheng Nuo simply prepared the content of the lecture.

On the day of the lecture.

Cheng Nuo thought that it would be good to have thirty or forty students who could come to listen, after all, there were more than one or two bigwigs in MIT who were better than him.

The Wiblem Prize he won can definitely be the king in an ordinary university, but at MIT, only the Nobel Prize and the Fields Medal are eligible.

At the same time, there were several bigwigs who gave lectures to him, but he didn't expect that there were more than 100 students at the scene.

The small lecture hall was packed.

In fact, what Cheng Nuo didn't know was that the purpose of the more than 100 students who came to the scene was not to listen to the specific content of the lecture, but to meet Cheng Nuo.

The youngest Doctor of Science, the youngest Verblen Prize winner, and the youngest Associate Professor in the School of Mathematics......

Cheng Nuo has too many legends.

Most of the students present were older than Cheng Nuo, but they were still struggling to study for a doctorate and graduate school, and Cheng Nuo ...... But it's already famous!

Not convinced?

That must be there.

They are all proud of the sky, and they have long been accustomed to being praised as geniuses!

But they found that compared to Cheng Nuo, their genius name was simply a big joke!

So, their self-esteem has been seriously hit, and they are like seeing with their own eyes whether that Cheng Nuo is as evil as rumored!
