"Hula~~~"

At the moment when Andre Bell announced the winner of the Nawang Linna Prize, the venue erupted in an astonishing outcry.

Thunderous applause followed.

Deafening!

A lot of people were talking in amazement at the same time--

"Zhao Yi really won the award. ”

"While it's normal to get Nawang Linna in terms of his achievements, I dare say it's the biggest news of the year. ”

"He's not even 19 years old!"

The last one is the key to igniting the atmosphere of the venue. Zhao Yi is too young, so young that no one else can believe it.

Zhao Yi's birthday is November 11, a man born on Singles' Day, the only good thing is that he doesn't worry about no one celebrating his birthday.

A lot of people will buy a lot of items on this day, and the day of buying, buying, buying, and buying is also celebrating for themselves at that time.

Of course.

The most important thing is Zhao Yi's age.

To be precise, he was eighteen years and nine months old, and before he was nineteen years old, he was able to win the prize at the International Congress of Mathematicians, setting a new record for the lowest age for a winner of the Nawang Linna Prize, and also a new record for the age of a laureate at the International Congress of Mathematicians.

It is not clear whether this record will be broken in the future, but it is absolutely unprecedented, and it also makes many people in the venue feel ashamed, the Naiwang Linna Prize and the Fields Medal at the International Congress of Mathematicians, the age limit of the winners is 40 years old, and there are many mathematicians who are close to 40 years old, all hope to get a prize at this conference, and if they miss this session, there will be no next one.

Now they are just witnessing that the International Congress of Mathematicians has the youngest laureate.

It's shocking, but it's normal.

Andre Bell also read the manuscript in his hand on the stage, "He has a high level of attainment in the understanding and application of computer methods, and has created effective and irrelevant carry screening, a top algorithm that will definitely be used in many fields and become the core." ”

"The effective and irrelevant carry screening method starts with practicality. It solves the problem of the Rubik's Cube that has plagued the mathematical community for decades, and the Rubik's Cube algorithm achieves a huge simplification and, interestingly, includes the content of proving the Kakutani conjecture. ”

"With the significant effective and irrelevant carry screening method, he is enough to rank among the world's top algorithm masters, and has made indelible and outstanding contributions to the development of mathematics and computers. ”

"I believe that this is not only the inspiration of genius, but also contains countless sweat and hardship. ”

“......”

When Zhao Yi was called by name, he was pushed by the people around him to stand in the aisle, quietly listening to Andre Bell's introduction.

This big-nosed Englishman still speaks very well.

"This is not only the inspiration of genius, but also contains countless sweat and hardships......"

How well said!

That's the perfect way to say yourself!

Zhao Yi listened quietly with a faint smile on his face, and waited quietly.

Finally, André Bell uttered the last sentence, "Let's congratulate the winner of the Nawang Linna Prize, the youngest laureate of the Congress of Mathematicians—"

"Zhao Yi!"

Zhao Yi walked briskly onto the stage, shook hands and hugged Andre Bell, and Bell said in his ear, "I just said that you won the award!"

"Of course. Zhao Yi replied, "As soon as you say it, I believe it, and the word 'honesty' is written on your face." ”

"Huh?"

Bill obviously didn't understand what it meant, he adapted to the atmosphere on and off the stage, his movements were not so stiff, but the smile on his face was still a little weird, he hugged Zhao Yi and walked off the stage, and when he got off the stage, he obviously took a long breath.

For Andre Bell, it was also a difficult challenge to be a special guest to announce the winner of the award on the stage of the mathematicians' conference in front of so many people.

Thankfully, he did.

After Zhao Yi finished receiving the award, he was arranged to sit in the position of the winner on one side and sit with the trembling Ito Qing.

Ito is an old Japanese professor who is over 90 years old.

Such an old professor won the first Gauss Prize at the International Congress of Mathematicians, and he will probably be the least controversial winner.

Who would compete with a ninety-year-old man for a trophy?

The Gauss Prize was awarded to Ito, in recognition of his lifelong research in the field of mathematics.

Zhao Yi and Ito Qing didn't have anything to communicate with, he nodded respectfully at the old man, and then sat down and continued to watch the award ceremony.

Next up is the most important prize of the Mathematicians Conference --

Fields!

The Fields Medal is one of the highest international awards in the field of mathematics, because the Nobel Prize does not set up a mathematics prize, and the Fields Medal is known as the "Nobel Prize in mathematics".

The president of the International Mathematical Union took the stage in person and read out Fields' list of winners.

The number of Fields awards is uncertain, with some years being awarded to only two or three people, others to four or five.

This year's winners are Andrei Okeenkov, a mathematician from Princeton University, Grigory Perelman, a Chinese mathematician at the University of California, Los Angeles, and Wendrin Warner, a mathematician from the University of Paris-Sud in France.

The four winners were announced in one breath, and then they were introduced and their reasons for winning were announced, and the time passed without paying attention.

Zhao Yi's main attention is Tao Zhexuan.

Tao Zhexuan is a Chinese mathematician who is even more famous than the other three winners combined.

Tao Zhexuan was a true genius, winning a gold medal in mathematics from the International Olympiad at the age of thirteen, a bachelor's degree from Flinders University at the age of sixteen, a master's degree at the same university at the age of seventeen, a doctorate from Princeton University at the age of twenty-one, and a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles from the age of twenty-four.

This year is the year when Tao Zhexuan won the award, he has won the Namanujan Award and the MacArthur Genius Award, and on the stage of the mathematicians' conference in front of him, he won the top award in mathematics for his research results in number theory, harmonic analysis and combinatorial analysis.

It's an amazing resume.

In fact, Tao Zhexuan's genius can be seen in his wife, whose wife Laura works as an engineer at NASA, and she was originally a student at the University of California, Los Angeles.

This is a typical teacher-student relationship, and the age difference between the two is only three years.

Even on the stage of Fields, Tao Zhexuan is the most shining one, and in comparison, the other winners seem to be foils.

Most people's attention is on Tao Zhexuan.

Tao Zhexuan didn't care about the scene of being noticed by everyone, and he seemed to be mentally prepared to get Fields, he received the reward very indifferently, and walked over and sat next to Zhao Yi with a calm face.

"Zhao Yi, hello. ”

——————

Tao Zhexuan was born in Australia, is an Australian Chinese, he has never been to China, probably because his parents are Hong Kong, his Chinese has some Cantonese accent, but it is not pure Cantonese, it sounds a little strange.

"Hello. ”

Zhao Yi and Tao Zhexuan shook hands politely, "Congratulations on winning Fields!"

Tao Zhexuan glanced at the medal in his hand, chuckled, and put it in his pocket carelessly, "Next time it may be you." I've heard of your presentation, the three-dimensional tremor waveform diagram, which expands the Riemann hypothesis, is really remarkable. ”

"I've been working on twin primes, but so far nothing has progressed. ”

Zhao Yi just wanted to say something, but he heard Tao Zhexuan continue, "I have a research I want to ask you for help. ”

"What?"

Zhao Yi was stunned.

"It's a research-related question. Are you interested in digital information compression?"

Zhao Yi hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "I have understood." ”

Tao Zhexuan smiled, "Actually, my research has encountered a problem, and I need the help of an algorithm master, which is related to digital information compression technology." ”

"My colleagues and I have been working on a new type of digital information compression technology, the theory has been completed, you can go to my WordPress, but in practical application, the most core algorithm is still missing. ”

"I've been thinking about this a lot lately, it's like in the field of medical device imaging, the images are captured through the Fourier transform......"

"It's a different story if it's a normal camera, where the image captured by the camera needs to be compressed, and the image is decompressed when played back with the device. ”

"Compression is many times more computational than decompression......"

"But on the contrary, often the equipment for complex acquisition will be very poor, and the equipment for complex decompression will have a high level of hardware, which greatly wastes the efficiency of hardware resources and is an anti-hardware algorithm model......

"So we need to find a ......"

Tao Zhexuan kept talking, his explanation was very straightforward and clear, most of Zhao Yi could understand it, but about more professional things, such as what Fourier transformed, he seemed to have only seen names.

“...... So I decided to end the course on partial differential equations and start a course on Fourier transforms. ”

"Maybe the students can inspire me. ”

After listening to Tao Zhexuan's words, Zhao Yi felt strange in his heart, he found that genius was really a strange species.

Now is the stage for the Fields awards, shouldn't it be celebrated excitedly?

Isn't it because of the tears of excitement?

After Tao Zhexuan took Fields, it was as if he had paid his salary, and he put the money in his trouser pocket very plainly, so he came over to discuss research with him very seriously?

In addition, genius is also capricious.

Because a new digital information compression technique is being studied, it was decided to turn the course on partial differential equations into a Fourier transform related to information conversion?

All right.

Zhao Yi was suddenly not excited about winning the award at all, he also became very calm, and talked about algorithm problems with Tao Zhexuan.

Although Tao Zhexuan sometimes talks about things that are very profound, in the field of algorithms, Zhao Yi can still speak, and the two are on the podium and have a serious chat about algorithm problems, and what happens on the podium does not seem to have anything to do with them.

Even if the host seriously introduced Tao Zhexuan, he also let the audience applaud everyone who won the award......

The two still didn't look up.

Grigory Perelman sat next to Tao Zhexuan, he heard what the two of them said clearly, he leaned into the ear of the other winner, Andrei Okernkov, pointed in the direction of Tao Zhexuan, and said in a strange tone, "Is this the case with Chinese? It's the Fields Awards now, I'm trembling with excitement, they're actually discussing the Fourier transformation......"

"Hahaha. ”

Andrei Okeenkov is a mathematician from Princeton, also a mathematician in the United States, and he has been in contact with Tao Zhexuan, "I don't know much about Zhao Yi, but Terry (Tao Zhexuan's English nickname) has always been like this, just get used to it." ”

"Research freaks. ”

Perelman pursed his lips, then thought of his award, and said excitedly, "Tonight, I must drink two more glasses, drink until my brain is chaotic, go to sleep and wake up, and meet the first day after getting Fields......"

"It was perfect!"

Okeenkov hurried away from him, and he found that he was still more normal.

......

The award ceremony is over.

The end of the ceremony does not mean the end.

The date set by the International Congress of Mathematicians is calculated from the award ceremony, which is the real opening ceremony, but each time it is held, it will last many days longer than planned, and the most enthusiastic academic discussion will be replaced before the opening ceremony.

After that, it will continue for a few more days, until the end of the stipulated closing time.

Many people are discussing the winners, and many people feel sorry for Zhao Yi, Fields encourages creative research, and Zhao Yi's 'three-dimensional tremor waveform' is creative, and it is only a matter of time before it completely replaces the Riemann conjecture after expanding the prime number decombining.

The influence of the 'three-dimensional tremor waveform' will definitely increase, and with the 'three-dimensional tremor waveform' shaped, I hope to compete for Fields.

It's a pity that Zhao Yi is the second set of prime solutions extended at the mathematicians' conference, otherwise he would have liked to get Fields.

Of course.

Even if he didn't win Fields, it wouldn't be bad to win a Naiwang Linna Award.

Zhao Yi is not yet nineteen years old, and four years later he will not be twenty-three years old, and if he has made mathematical research contributions during this period, the probability of getting Fields is even greater.

Fields' upper age limit is forty years old, and he still has plenty of opportunities.

In the eyes of many people, Zhao Yi is already a 'future Fields winner', and many people are terrible to think about.

Fields' youngest ever winner was Charis Feverman, who was twenty-nine years old at the time.

Zhao Yi is still ten years away from the age of twenty-nine, and he has two chances to get Fields in ten years, and if nothing else, he will definitely become the youngest Fields winner.

Of course.

That's just looking to the future.

Now everyone's attention is that Zhao Yi won the Naiwang Linna Award, and Zhao Yi walked out of the venue and met reporters who came to interview in China.

With a professional gentle smile, the reporter handed the microphone to Zhao Yi's mouth and asked, "Hello, Zhao ...... Mr. ”

"Just call me by name. "Zhao Yi always encounters similar problems, strangers don't know what to call him, most of the people in the venue have a 'professor title', even if they don't have a professor title, they have a doctorate at the very least, and they can be called 'a certain professor' and 'a certain doctor'.

Zhao Yi has only just graduated from high school and can only be called Mr., but Mr. sounds weird, and calling him by name seems a bit disrespectful.

Zhao Yi didn't care, but he looked young when he called his name.

How good it is to be young!

If possible, he would have liked to be eighteen forever.

The reporter nodded and said, "Okay, Zhao Yi, congratulations on winning the Nawang Linna Award, you have become the only scholar in China to win the award, may I ask, how are you feeling at the moment?"

"It's okay. ”

Zhao Yi's answer was very bland, and he chatted with Tao Zhexuan about the algorithm, plus many people said that he had the hope of competing for the next Fields, and he found that he was not excited at all, as if he took it for granted to get the Naiwang Linner Award, and it was really the same as coming to receive a salary.

In other words, the Nawang Linna Award also has more than 10,000 euros!

It's not a lot of money, but it's better than nothing!

When the reporter heard Zhao Yi say, 'It's okay', he was a little speechless for a while, but he won the first Naiwang Linna Award in China, and he was also the first person in China to receive the award at the International Mathematicians Conference.

The result...... Not bad?

The reporter took a few deep breaths, calmed down his mood, and immediately changed the question, "A few days ago, your academic report shined, expanding the prime solution of the waveform graph function, and at the same time proving the logical error of the British mathematician Andrew Wiles's proof of the Fermat conjecture, do you have anything to say about this?"

"Mr. Wiles is a mathematical genius, and I respect him. ”

Zhao Yi said, "The purpose of my research is to expand the prime solution of the waveform graph, and it was Wiles's report that brought me inspiration. ”

"I'm so grateful to him!"

"But in mathematics, right is right, wrong is wrong, a person who is serious about mathematics, can't take mistakes as right, I just did what I had to do and had to do. ”

"Mathematics and science are developed through continuous innovation and continuous correction of mistakes. ”

"But I think it's probably going to be a blow to him. ”

"I hope he won't be affected too much, I hope he can bounce back and I hope he can readjust his mentality and devote himself to the study of mathematics and science. ”
