Chapter 498: The Sixth Member
Chapter 498
On September 15, the International Congress of Mathematicians closed.
On September 16, Cheng Nuo returned to China.
What made Cheng Nuo a little stunned was that as soon as he got off the plane, he saw many people holding light signs and cheering.
And the light sign shows his name. As soon as they saw themselves come out, those holding the lantern signs leaned impatiently towards themselves.
Cheng Nuo didn't expect to encounter this kind of posture at all.
He is not a star, although his appearance is okay, but Cheng Nuo will really have so many people come to pick him up.
Hulala, almost instantly, Cheng Nuo was surrounded by everyone in the middle.
A little girl squeezed at the front, she took out a notebook, her face flushed, "Professor Cheng, can you sign for me?"
Cheng Nuo smiled, "No problem." ”
Then he took the pen and signed his name on the paper.
"Little girl, are you still in school?" asked Cheng Nuo with a smile.
The little girl nodded heavily, "Well, in the third year of high school, next year's college entrance examination." Professor Cheng, my target university is Tsinghua University. ”
"Well, yes, take the test. I hope to see you at Tsinghua University this time next year. Cheng Nuo said as he wrote down a blessing in his notebook.
[I wish the college entrance examination a smooth run, the title of the gold list!]
Cheng Nuo handed the notebook to the little girl, "Don't come to pick up the plane later, it will waste your own time, and it will disrupt the order of the airport." ”
"Professor Cheng, I know. I never chased stars before, and I never had a cold with any small fresh meat and bacon. However, Professor Cheng, you are different. I admire your knowledge and talent to make you an idol. It was my first time to pick up the airport and I didn't expect to be so lucky to get your autograph. The little girl whispered shyly.
Cheng Nuo smiled, "I'm not a big star, the signature is not that precious, who else wants it, I don't dare to guarantee anything else, but the signature is enough." ”
"Professor Cheng, I, I, I, I! Also, can you help me write a blessing, just write 'I wish Zhang Yang Gao Shu is not hanging'!"
"And me, Professor Cheng, I haven't passed the fourth-level exam for two years, can you write me a sentence 'I wish Cheng Hongwei a smooth passage of the fourth-level'!"
"Professor Cheng, I will take the teaching certificate next month, can I ......?"
Cheng Nuo: "......"
They're ...... Think of yourself as a koi?
One or two, either to be able to pass the fourth or sixth grade, or to be able to pass the teaching qualifications and civil service examinations.
When it comes to the final exam, just forward what koi fish to forward, and directly forward your big avatar.
Although I was speechless in my heart, these people were their fans anyway, and they still wrote the blessings on it one by one according to a request.
"Come, I wish you a passing grade in math, lad, yours, put it away!"
Rubbing his somewhat sour wrist, Cheng Nuo walked out of the airport with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
............
Although the International Congress of Mathematicians has closed, its popularity is still there.
In particular, the ABC conjecture was successfully proved at this conference, and the turbulent waves set off in the mathematical community have not yet calmed down.
Many mathematicians still find it difficult to accept this fact.
If Ueda Shinichi's ABC conjecture proves that the paper is correct at this conference, it will mark the success of the ABC conjecture.
Although this result is unexpected, it is at least reasonable.
After all, the paper has been sitting there for more than a decade, and it's time for a result.
And the fact is, the ABC conjecture was proven!
But the theory that proves the ABC conjecture is not the 500-plus-page paper.
The mathematician who proved the ABC conjecture was not the most well-known Ueda Shinichi in the field of ABC conjecture, but the mathematician that no one would have thought of, Cheng Nuo!
In one year, the proof of the BSD conjecture and the ABC conjecture was announced one after another!
These two conjectures, anyone who casually proves one is enough to become famous in the world, but Cheng Nuo got both of them in one go.
But at the same time, it also laid the foundation for Cheng Nuo's extremely high status in the mathematical community.
This mathematical community does not refer to Chinese mathematicians, but to the world mathematical community.
Before announcing the proof of the ABC conjecture, Cheng Nuo was one of the few people at the top of the pyramid in mathematics.
But now, Cheng Nuo has become one of those people at the top of the tower.
In today's mathematics community, I am afraid that there is no one who can say that he can steadily transcend the process in terms of mathematical academic attainments.
At most, that is, it is on par with Cheng Nuo.
Of course, Cheng Nuo still has a distance from ancient sage mathematicians such as Euler and Gauss.
Cheng Nuo's problem-solving skills are very strong, but in terms of creativity, there is still a lot of room for improvement.
That being said, in China, Cheng Nuo's academic attainments are no longer rivaled.
The older generation of mathematicians is in serious decline, the golden generation of mathematicians has a slightly shorter growth time, and as for the younger mathematicians, that is not to mention.
In terms of academic attainments alone, Cheng Nuo is the first person in the Chinese mathematics community, and he is also the face of Chinese mathematics in the world mathematics community.
............
With great power comes great responsibility.
This sentence, after Cheng Nuo returned to China this time, he really felt it.
The first is a change of position.
He was promoted from the deputy director of the Institute of Mathematics of Tsinghua University to the director of the Institute, and concurrently served as the deputy dean of the School of Mathematics of Tsinghua University.
At the request of the university, the number of doctoral students he needs to take every year has also increased from two to five.
In addition, he was also found to help with the audit and acceptance of many Natural Science Foundation projects.
The Huaguo Mathematical Society also sent him an invitation, hoping that Cheng Nuo could hold a position of real power within the society.
Cheng Nuo is tired and happy.
The prosperity of Chinese mathematics is officially what I want to see.
Of course, he alone can't carry the entire Huaguo Mathematics and strive forward, which is unrealistic.
But he can act as an engine to drive the rapid development of mathematics in China.
He can introduce many graduate students to top research institutes abroad for internships, and can also invite well-known mathematicians from abroad and mathematicians from China to conduct academic seminars.
The proof of the ABC conjecture and the BSD conjecture has made Tsinghua University one of the world's number theory centers.
Cheng Nuo learned from Dean Ding that many well-known foreign mathematicians are now contacting Tsinghua University, some hoping to visit Tsinghua University, and several even hope to come to Tsinghua University for long-term teaching.
This undoubtedly does not mean that the big car of Huaguo Mathematics, driven by Cheng Nuo, is going farther and faster.
............
Early October.
President Manel, the current president of the International Mathematical Union, personally came to Tsinghua University to invite Cheng Nuo.
After discussion at the meeting, the International Mathematical Union decided to invite Cheng Nuo to be one of the standing committee members of the International Mathematical Union!
The news is incredibly exciting.
You must know that there are only five members of the Standing Committee of the International Mathematical Union.
These five are respectively representatives of mathematicians from the five countries of Mi, Ying, Germany, Australia and Sweden.
Manel invited Cheng Nuo to serve as the sixth member of the Standing Committee.
That can indirectly show that Huaguo's position in the mathematical community has been squeezed into the first sequence!
China has become the sixth member of the International Mathematical Union!
