Chapter 80: Discussing Mathematics with the Fields Winner
Among the people from Donggang University, only Ma Wenjun applied to participate in the conference later, and it can be said that he came specifically for Wang Hao's academic report.
Among the others, one professor was specially invited to be an expert at the conference, and the others, like Zhang Zhiqiang, had already obtained tickets to participate in the conference.
Of course, the purpose of Ma Wenjun's visit is not to be interested in Wang Hao's research, the effective and irrelevant carry algorithm can crack the Rubik's Cube, and the application prospect is very wide, but it has nothing to do with the research and work of data analysis.
The reason why he came was very direct, just because he had a sense of crisis in his heart.
He's going to come and see for himself.
In the alloy laboratory of Donggang University, Ma Wenjun is one of the most core people, he is not an expert in materials science, but does data analysis work, and is an expert in applied mathematics and data mining.
In the key projects of the alloy laboratory, most of the statistics and analysis work related to experimental data were completed by Ma Wenjun and his students.
Wang Hao later joined the alloy laboratory, and he shared part of Ma Wenjun's work, specializing in data calculation.
Wang Hao and Ma Wenjun's work is related to data, but one is calculation, the other is data analysis, and there is no duplication of work content.
After the project of the alloy laboratory exploded, a simple investigation found that it was related to data errors.
Everyone else also thinks that it is a data error, and the problem is likely to lie with Wang Hao or Ma Wenjun, and it is Wang Hao who is finally determined to be wrong.
As one of the core figures in the alloy materials laboratory, Ma Wenjun knows the problem very well, the experimental thunderstorm has nothing to do with the data, and at the same time, he also knows that Wang Hao does not know the details at all.
Naturally, Wang Hao will think that the fault is on him.
"In a way, I'm a little wronged, right?" Ma Wenjun thought self-deprecatingly, "Wang Hao must think that the responsibility lies with me, and he will also think that I threw the mistake at him, so it's not strange to hate me at all." ”
This is where the sense of crisis comes from.
If you want to say that there is a problem with the project of the alloy laboratory, you don't have to worry too much, things have passed for so long, and it is difficult to find out anything if you want to investigate, but the contradiction between him and Wang Hao cannot be resolved.
That made the other party bear the stain on scientific research, and let the other party leave his alma mater in the way of dismissal, and put it on many people, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a great enemy of life and death.
What Ma Wenjun didn't expect at all was that in just a few months, Wang Hao could make so many achievements, with more and more influence and fame.
When there is an inextricable conflict with a person, it is actually not a big deal.
But if the other party's career is thriving, he has a reputation in the professional field, his influence is getting bigger and bigger, and his social status is getting higher and higher, the situation is completely different.
The incident that caused the conflict in the first place may not be investigated after it has passed, but who knows what means the other party will use to retaliate?
If Ma Wenjun thinks about it, he will feel that his body and mind are full of crisis.
……
On the other side, Wang Hao was invited to dine with Professor Jiang Wenping.
Because it was not a formal invitation, nor was it a formal thank-you meal, it was just a Western restaurant near the venue, like a light meal with friends, and Zhang Zhiqiang also came with him.
Jiang Wenping, a professor at the Applied Mathematics Society of Capital University and one of the main leaders of this conference, would like to talk to Wang Hao about the report of the conference.
Although he was already busy before the meeting began, Jiang Wenping thought that it was still very important to talk to Wang Hao in person, at least to make him feel at ease.
Now Wang Hao's meeting report is no longer just a report.
Because the report has attracted many scholars, including some influential informatics experts in China, experts and scholars from large Internet enterprises, and even academicians of the Academy of Sciences, it has also attracted many foreign scholars.
Among them are two Turing Award winners, and one is even more powerful, a famous genius in mathematics, Fields winner Pete Schultz.
So many famous scholars came to listen to Wang Hao's report, and the normal progress of the report will definitely promote the impact of the conference.
Conversely, it might make the meeting a joke.
With so many scholars coming, a false report was heard, and no matter how smoothly the rest of the conference went, it was impossible to cover it up.
Jiang Wenping came to Wang Hao to ask for peace of mind, whenever he thought of the possibility of reporting a mistake, he felt pressured all over his body.
Wang Hao thought about it carefully after hearing this, and said in confusion, "So, the temporary change of venue for the meeting is because of my report?" ”
“…… Did you just know? Jiang Wenping felt incredible.
Zhang Zhiqiang couldn't help but complain next to him, "He doesn't even know where the venue is." ”
"Uh~"
Jiang Wenping was silent.
Wang Hao smiled indifferently, he did know that it was because of his report that he would change the venue, and he thought it was just a normal change.
He is well aware of the value of effective and irrelevant carry algorithms, and it is normal that it can attract many scholars to listen to the presentation, but it is unexpected that it will directly affect the holding of the conference.
Normally, the venue of the conference has been decided, and the participants have been decided, and even if more scholars apply to participate, because things have already been finalized, they should not be changed.
It's like holding a game, and the tickets have already been sold, so it's impossible to suddenly change the venue and sell more tickets just because a certain star announced that he would be coming, right?
It can only be said that he overestimated the discipline of the organizers of the conference.
Wang Hao still shook his head, anyway, it has nothing to do with him, "Professor Jiang, don't worry." There are no problems with my research and I am prepared for this report. ”
Jiang Wenping wanted this sentence.
He was immediately reassured, "Then the time will be set for ten o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow." ”
"This is the time originally scheduled, but if there is a problem, the report can be delayed until the last day."
"Don't worry, there will be no problem."
……
After resting in the hotel for a night, at eight o'clock the next morning, Wang Hao and Zhang Zhiqiang came to the venue together, and the academic conference set up three lecture halls, including seven subject types of research, and will report in three lecture halls.
Wang Hao focused on the basic research of theories and algorithms, and the relevant reports were conducted in the No. 2 conference hall, but the opening speech on the first day of the conference was held in the large venue near the No. 1 conference hall.
They went to the convention hall.
Although the time was just eight o'clock in the morning, there was still an hour before the official opening, there were already many people in the conference hall, Wang Hao walked all the way, maybe it was because of his age, but he was not recognized by a few people, he and Zhang Zhiqiang walked together, more like a combination of doctoral students and doctoral supervisors, similar combinations abound in the venue.
When he walked to the middle aisle, Wang Hao noticed Sha Mianzhi in front of him.
Sha Mianzhi and two colleagues next to him were talking to a man with long hair in a shawl, maybe it shouldn't be said to be a conversation, but Sha Mianzhi was constantly gesturing, and the man with long hair and shawl didn't react.
Wang Hao waved hello and continued to walk forward to find his position.
"Wang Hao, here!"
Sha Mianzhi greeted him, pulled him, and pointed to the man with long hair and shawl and introduced, "Pete Schulz, you should know, right?" The German genius mathematician, or rather, the world's genius mathematician, Fields laureate. ”
"But he doesn't seem to be able to speak English, and I just talked to him for a long time and couldn't understand it."
"If I don't know English, how can I understand the report?" Sha Mianzhi shook his head as he spoke, smiled politely at Pete Schultz, pointed in one direction and walked away with his colleagues.
Wang Hao smiled at Schultz, and was about to continue walking forward when he heard Schultz ask in fluent English, "Are you Wang Hao?" The creator of the effective vs. irrelevant positioning algorithm, yes? ”
Wang Hao suddenly stopped, turned his head and looked at Schulz in surprise and nodded lightly.
Schulz's English is very fluent, but he doesn't understand Chinese at all, and he doesn't know what Sha Mianzhi just said to Wang Hao, so he just thought he was simply introducing himself.
He completely ignored what had just happened, pulled Wang Hao to the side and sat down, and asked, "I'm very interested in your new algorithm, so I applied to attend this meeting." ”
"But now, I want to talk about the Monge Ampère equation, and I read your paper on smoothness, and there's a very clever proof in it, using algebraic geometry and representation methods, and I've been working on the law of reciprocity, using the extension of Franz's program......"
"Wow, wow~~"
Schulz pulled Wang Hao to sit down and said, his English had some special intonation, but all kinds of proper nouns came easily, and there was not even a pause in the process.
Wang Hao also turned his head while listening, glanced at the direction where Sha Mianzhi left, and saw that the other party seemed to realize that he was with Schulz, so he turned around and listened to a few ears.
Suddenly, his face darkened.
Pete Schultz doesn't speak English? This damn long-haired German guy just didn't want to talk to him at all.
Wang Hao chatted with Schulz.
Schulz has carefully studied his proof of the Mongeriampère equation, focusing on a small method used in the proof process.
Wang Hao gave Schulz a brief explanation, thinking about the process of proof and the overall idea, and then asked with some doubts, "Aren't you interested in my algorithm?" Why do you want to talk about this? ”
"Of course I'm more interested in algorithms, which is definitely an interesting study, and that's what I'm here for."
"But, you're going to make a report tomorrow, right?" Schultz said. I just need to come tomorrow to listen to the report, so why say it now? ”
"Makes sense!"
Just through a small detail of the conversation, you can find that Schultz's thinking is really a little different from ordinary people, and the logic is surprisingly clear.
Obviously, he is most interested in algorithms, but when he sees that the creator himself doesn't mention it, he pulls the other party to talk about the mathematical proof of 'second interest', because the other party will report the next day, and it must be audible, so there is no need to talk about it and understand it in advance.
Wang Hao also likes to chat with smart people, especially smart people whose IQ has reached the peak of human beings.
Beginning with the specifics of the proof of Mongeampère's equation, they talked about algebraic geometry, the method of representation, and then they talked about analytics, and Schulz's work on expanding the scope of Franz's program.
Wait a minute.
When it comes to expanding the scope of Franz's program, the topic simply does not stop.
Schulz is an expert in this area, and it is for him that he has studied deeply, discovered new laws of reciprocity, and recently won various mathematical awards.
Wang Hao also has a lot to say, especially when a few mathematicians who came to the conference came to listen very seriously, a lot of knowledge and inspiration emerged, and there was even more to say.
When the two were talking, there were many people listening to them, and some of them simply took out notes to take notes, they didn't expect to hear such an in-depth mathematical discussion in a computer conference.
Pete Schultz is also more and more surprised by Wang Hao, he has always thought that he is a genius, only in his thirties has stood at the peak of mathematics, it turned out that Wang Hao, who is ten years younger than himself, did not show a lack of knowledge when talking to himself about advanced mathematics, and even in the field he is good at, he can talk about a lot of professional content, and occasionally say that his thoughts will also inspire him.
Wang Hao is immersed in the pleasure of 'teaching', talking about advanced mathematics with professional scholars, and there are so many listeners next to him, for him, it is the same as lecturing and teaching, and inspiration is constantly emerging.
[Inspiration +1.] 】
[Inspiration +1.] 】
[Inspiration +1.] 】
【Inspiration ......】
In the process of the two talking to each other, it was obvious that Wang Hao said a lot, and many times later, it was Wang Hao who was explaining, and Schulz was listening carefully.
Many people who noticed this scene were incredible.
"That's Pete Schultz, super talent, Fields winner. Wang Hao was able to talk to him about mathematics! ”
"What are they talking about? I didn't understand it at all, it felt like a book from heaven. ”
"It seems to be related to the scope of Franz's program, this is the field of Pete Schultz, I just listened to it a few times, Wang Hao seems to be pointing at Schulz?"
"You must have heard me wrong, right? Maybe it's just that Schultz wants Wang Hao to say what he thinks? ”
"Anyway, being able to communicate mathematics with Fields winners is quite remarkable at Wang Hao's age, and I didn't talk to Schultz when I saw him just now. That guy doesn't look like a good communicator. ”
Sha Mianzhi has a deep understanding of this.
He went over to talk to Schulz just now, but the other party pretended not to know English, and he thought that the other party really didn't know English, and he just didn't want to talk to him.
Look at Wang Hao's lively chat with the other party, the damage is too great in comparison.
However, Sha Mianzhi is a person who is very good at adjusting his mood, he quickly chose to forget the unhappiness in his heart, and said proudly to the person next to him, "Wang Hao, I remember when I was an undergraduate, I was still my student, at that time, I knew that he was very genius, and I carefully instructed him......"
"Wow, wow~~"
Sha Mianzhi quickly 'made up' a story about a famous teacher who cherished his talents to teach his students, and recently won the praise and thumbs up of the people around him, and fiercely satisfied his vanity.
