I just want to be a quiet scholar

Chapter 94 Wow, Great God

April 4, the last working day and study day before the May Day holiday.

"Shen Qi, you have participated in the Yanda Golden Autumn Camp, and you are no stranger to Yanda. You can play by yourself. I will go to SJS to find my best friends and old classmates to gather. If there is anything, please call me." After Mu Rong gave her instructions, she ran away alone. .

"Going on a business trip for a public expense, a private wave...you, you, then you go wave." Seeing Teacher Mu's back, Shen Qi was relieved.

In just a few short days, it was impossible for Mu Rong to teach Shen Qi too many things.

When he came to Yan University again, Shen Qi was no stranger to him. He was alone in the Yan University campus, and he immediately called Professor Sun Erxiong of the Department of Mathematics.It is ignorant that Yan University does not greet Professor Sun when he comes to Yan University.

"Professor Sun, my Shen Qi is back!" Shen Qi said excitedly on the phone.

"It's great to be back?" Sun Erxiong sounded very noisy.

"This..." Shen Qi was speechless, yes, this is Yanda University, forcing Wang to walk all over the street, what's so great about my pre-enrollment from a mathematics department?
"I'm too busy to talk to you right now. You'll listen to the speech in the auditorium in an hour." Sun Erxiong hung up after speaking.

"This... Lao Sun, you've changed." Shen Qixin said that last fall, Lao Sun, you invited me to eat dumplings, buns, and gave me directional advice. It's been good to me. This May Day, why did you become like this?Hey, this guy is so indifferent.

He Fangsheng gave a speech in the auditorium today, so that the old grandson has no time to pay attention to me?Go, go take a look.Shen Qi walked towards the auditorium.

Walking to the auditorium, Shen Qi saw a large sign at the entrance of the auditorium with the words: "Welcome to the internationally renowned mathematician Yun Wei and Gong Changwei to give a speech at the school."

"It turned out that Yunshen and Weishen came back, no wonder Old Sun didn't have time to talk to me!" Shen Qi had complained a little bit about Sun Erxiong just now, but now, he is relieved.

Who are the great gods of Yunshen and Weishen?

They are the pride of the Department of Mathematics of Yan University, and the most promising Chinese mathematicians of today to hit the Fields Medal.

F+W+A math grand slam winners such as Jean-Pierre Serre, Deligne, John Mirneau, John Thompson are too far away from Shen Qi, and he doesn't know if he can see these maths in his life The super big cow side of the world, after all, is an old man, and his age is not forgiving.

(F = Fields Medal, W = Wolf Prize, A = Abel Prize)

The slightly younger F+W+A Grand Slam winner, Shen Qi has a relationship, namely Andrew Wiles.

Even though he had a relationship with Andrew Wiles in London, Shen Qi thought that Sir Wiles was still too far away from him.

But Yunwei and Gong Changwei are different, they are both Chinese, very young, in their 30s, both produced by the Department of Mathematics of Yanda University, and both of them won IMO gold medals when they were in middle school... This makes Shen Qi feel very involved. .

Entering the auditorium to find a place to sit down, Shen Qi looked around, and there was nearly an hour to go before the lecture. There were already a small half of the audience in the auditorium, all of them looking like college students.

So Lao Sun was busy entertaining Yunshen and Weishen, right?Shen Qi figured it out and waited for the speech to start.

It is not ordinary people who can give speeches in Yan Auditorium. Clinton gave speeches here, Chirac gave speeches here, Gates gave speeches here, as well as many big names in the scientific community and well-known young scholars.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the auditorium was full, and the speech began.

The host made a grand introduction: "We have Yun Wei, the youngest professor of Yale University, who is the winner of the Scientific Breakthrough Award and the Ramanu Gold Award, to give a speech!"

clap clap clap!
There was warm applause from the audience, and Shen Qi also applauded, cheering for the God of Cloud from the bottom of his heart.

The host summed up Yunwei's achievements in three sentences.

The Scientific Breakthrough Award was founded by business leaders such as Zuckerberg, Jack Ma, and Sergibrin, who own companies such as Facebook, Ali, and Google that rely on technology to make a living.

The Science Breakthrough Prize sets up awards in life sciences, basic physics, and mathematics, with a single prize of $300 million, far exceeding the Nobel Prize.

The Ramanujan Award, everyone who engages in mathematics knows its weight, and is second only to F+W+A mathematics awards in the world.

Yunwei is in his early 30s this year and works as a professor in the Department of Mathematics at Yale University. He is the youngest full professor in the history of Yale University for hundreds of years.

Yunwei was wearing glasses and looked polite, and he said, "I'm rather stupid, so I chose mathematics."

Ha ha.

There was a knowing laughter from the audience, why are you so stupid?Then we are all mentally retarded.

Yunwei briefly introduced his own experience. He loved mathematics since he was a child. He won the IMO gold medal in the second year of high school (he was a full-point gold medal), and was very lucky to be sent to the Mathematics Department of Yan University...

So far, what Shen Qi has heard is very emotional. My experience is very similar to that of Yunshen... Well, the experience of the last year or two.

Yunwei said a few words lightly. When I was an undergraduate student in the Department of Mathematics of Yan University, I was awarded the title of three good students every year. The mathematics major exams were basically full marks. The only thing I missed was number theory. I was particularly afraid of number theory.

"So I don't dare to touch number theory. When I was studying for a master's degree and a doctorate in the Department of Mathematics at Princeton, I chose the direction of algebraic geometry..."

After completing his undergraduate studies in the Department of Mathematics at Yan University, Yunwei went to the Department of Mathematics at Princeton to obtain a Ph.D., and then worked as a lecturer at MIT and an associate professor at Stanford, and is currently a professor at the Department of Mathematics at Yale University.

"The field I am currently researching is called the Langlands Program, which can be understood as a new program of number theory + algebraic geometry. It has historical significance. I hope to make breakthroughs and let the names of Chinese mathematicians shine on the world stage."

clap clap clap!
The audience interrupted Yunwei's speech with thunderous applause. Most of the audience were teachers and students of Yan University who knew everything.

"It's amazing, God Yun, if you have mastered the Langlands Program, the Fields Award is nothing. This program is enough to unify the international mathematics martial arts." Shen Qi applauded warmly. Of course he knew the meaning of the Langlands Program. .

The field of study known in mathematics as "programme" is particularly powerful.

So far, there are only three programs in mathematics: the Erlangen program, the Hilbert program, and the Langlands program.

The first two programs were produced in the 19th and early 20th centuries and led the development of mathematics for nearly a hundred years.

The Langlands Program was put forward in the middle and late 20th century, and the interpretation of the Langlands Program in relatively simple words is: it integrates number theory, algebraic geometry and group theory to form a programmatic guiding document.

In other words, if mathematicians can't solve a problem in one area, they can solve it in other areas.

There is no mathematical problem that cannot be solved by the Langlands Program. If there is, then do it again... Theoretically, if the Langlands Program is thoroughly proved, it will possess the power of programmatic unity of this universal attribute.

After the 90s, three mathematicians partially solved some of the conjectures in the Langlands program and won the Fields Medal one after another. One of them is the contemporary mathematician Delinfeld.

In fact, F+W+A Grand Slam winner Andrew Wiles proved Fermat's Last Theorem, which provided very important support for the Langlands program.

Wiles is a master of number theory. He is very sensitive to numbers. Do you think it is easy for an Englishman to quickly calculate addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within 40?No, it requires a great talent for arithmetic, and Wiles has that talent, so he won the Fields Medal and became one of the big names in mathematics today.

The existence of the program is very attractive.Shen Qi has set a lofty goal in his heart, the Langlands program. I hope that before you get it done, God Yun, I can also set foot in one or two.

"I am very honored to be able to go back to my alma mater this time. I would like to thank my teachers in the Mathematics Department of Yan University, Mr. Zhang Yuxin, Mr. Su Weilong, and Mr. Sun Erxiong. Teachers are always in my heart and can't forget them. Thank you for cultivating me!" Yunwei bowed deeply to the audience, again causing a roar of applause.

The first two teachers Zhang and Su are both famous teachers in the Mathematics Department of Yan University. Sun Erxiong is not as famous as them, but after all, he taught Yunshen mathematics at the undergraduate level.

"Fat old Sun is okay, you are also a famous teacher?" Shen Qi looked left and right, Professor Sun must be in this auditorium, with such an obvious target of more than 200 pounds, where is the person sitting?
