I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 478 A Different Reporting Style

The white professor is still a little unbelievable: "But Qin Ke is too young, I heard that he is not yet 20 years old this year, and he is still in his freshman year? I know that there are many talented mathematicians among Xia descendants, such as the Department of Mathematics at UCLA. Professor Tao, who is known as "the genius among geniuses", but even a genius like him, who had obtained a master's degree at the age of 20, has never achieved such dazzling academic achievements."

Professor Usman shrugged his shoulders and smiled at Professor Kelvin Thomson next to him: "Professor Thomson, Professor McCann has doubts about Qin Ke's genius, I think you have more say than me, after all Said that you were at the Tiger Bar and witnessed Qin Ke solve two world-class propositions within half an hour."

Professor Kelvin Thomson is a professor of mathematics at Princeton University. He is famous in the mathematics circle for proving the Walsh conjecture in the direction of Diophantus' equation.

Professor Thomson had heard the previous conversation between the two, and he sighed:

"Professor McCann, Professor Usman's evaluation is not exaggerated. I think that if Qin Ke is willing, he can probably get a doctorate in mathematics from Xiaguo University at any time, even if he wants to get a doctorate from Puda. PhD, it doesn't take half a year or so, he is such a genius. To be honest, I was not surprised that he conquered the Polignac conjecture. I almost didn't want to come here. But I was curious about the 'Lime Number Theory Hypergeometric Mapping Method' proposed by him, so I came here to attend the meeting."

Professor Thomson's words are a bit exaggerated. It is a rare honor to participate in such an academic report meeting and report his academic achievements in front of countless international leaders and colleagues.

Not only him, but Professor Lyons Bowie, a professor at Cambridge University in Eagle Country who proposed the "Weak Polignac Conjecture", also came.

After all, there are one to four places for the Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics. The key is whether the academic report can impress the judges.

As long as there is a glimmer of hope, who is willing to give up early?
If it doesn't work, it is a consolation to win the New Vision Award, after all, size is also a famous award.

……

The calendar flipped, and the morning sun shone on Silicon Valley, a land of high-tech companies. The time came to June 6, the day before the official start of the academic report.

According to the itinerary, this day is mainly to arrange for the speakers to visit the Ames Research Center.

This is a free entry project.

At around 9 o'clock, scholars from all over the world gathered in the hall of the research center in twos and threes to whisper together, and after waiting for everyone to gather, the researchers led a team to visit.

Today's visit is only for the scholars of this year's academic symposium, and those distinguished guests will not participate. In addition, some scholars are absent, so the number of scholars in the hall is not too many at present, only about 60 to [-] people.

Some scholars are interested in the Ames Research Center, and the topic naturally revolves around today's visit activities, while most mathematicians care more about the report meeting and awards starting tomorrow, and the topic focuses on the two Xia kingdoms that have not yet appeared. students come.

When Qin Ke appeared holding Ning Qingyun's little hand, countless eyes focused on the two of them.

These two gifted students are so recognizable. Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun are the only young Asian boys and girls who can enter the Ames Research Center wearing a participant ID card.

Ning Qingyun was somewhat unaccustomed to being looked up and down by so many scrutinizing eyes, and subconsciously clenched Qin Ke's big hand nervously.

Qin Ke gave her a slight smile, then brought her to Professor Thomson, and greeted her in English: "Professor Thomson, since the Universities Lecture has been away for half a year, your demeanor is even better than before. I will prove the theme of your Walsh conjecture tomorrow." The report is full of expectations."

Professor Thomson's mentality when facing Qin Ke was a bit complicated, with a touch of hostility and reluctance, but more of recognition and respect from the bottom of his heart. After all, this young man is indeed superior to him in number theory. The fourth-order transformation method of Lemon number theory also gave him a lot of inspiration.

At this time, seeing Qin Ke's sunny and cheerful smile made people feel close, Professor Thomson couldn't help but smile back:
"Qin, it's nice to see you again. We were discussing you just now. We are all looking forward to the academic report you and your girlfriend Ning will give the day after tomorrow."

He also introduced to Qin Ke his acquaintances, Professor McCann and Professor Usman, and other mathematicians.

Qin Ke's memory is very good now, and Ning Qingyun and Ning Qingyun had read the process of the report meeting by heart last night, and he knew all the candidates' profiles and the content of the report by heart. At this time, he shook hands with several mathematicians, After "admiring his name for a long time", he was able to accurately tell the identity of the other party and his proud academic achievements, which made several people feel that Qin Ke really valued himself, rather than formal politeness. Chatting and laughing with Qin Ke.

Ning Qingyun is not very good at communication, but Qin Ke introduced her to the topic with ease and introduced her to several scholars. Ning Qingyun's excellent oral English ability and quick mathematical thinking ability also surprised and impressed everyone.

For a moment, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun became the focus of communication in the hall.

Of course, not all of the [-] or [-] candidates are willing to get close to Qin and Ke. Some masters in the fields of life sciences and basic physics were not interested in these two talented students in the mathematics circle at the beginning. cold.Others such as Jiang Quansheng and Professor Lyons Bowie, a professor at the University of Cambridge, did not come.

On the contrary, Qin Ke was very interested in scholars in the fields of physics and life sciences, and took the initiative to make friends with them.As the saying goes, don't hit people with smiling faces, not to mention that these physicists and biologists have no competing interests with Qin Ke. Thanks to Qin Ke's excellent eloquence, he quickly became friends with the two.

During the visit, the scholars in the physics field also took the initiative to introduce the situation of the Ames Research Center for the two of them, and the professional-level physics theory level that Qin Ke inadvertently displayed also secretly surprised the scholars in the physics field .

No one expected that this mathematical genius would have such a solid and profound theoretical knowledge of physics.

So after more than half a day of visiting process, none of the [-] or [-] scholars in the audience dared to underestimate this young couple of Xia Guo students. At the same time, the two sides also became familiar with each other. Scholars and friends exchanged email addresses.

On the second day, the Scientific Breakthrough Prize Academic Report officially began.

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun sat in the auditorium and listened carefully to the academic report all day long.

This academic report will be held in three lecture halls at the same time, corresponding to the fields of life sciences, basic theoretical physics and mathematics. About five sessions will be arranged each day. The time of some reports will overlap, so you can only choose one of them. listen.

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun chose according to the meeting process. On the first day, they selected five mathematics reports and one physics report.

Listening to the five mathematics reports on the first day is naturally to know the enemy and know yourself, and to learn from the experience of others in the reports for your own use.

As for the physics report, it was to relax the mind and increase knowledge.

It has to be said that the candidates who can be invited to give academic reports are of a very high level, and the content of their speeches is very in-depth. For example, a professor of mathematics at the Supérieure Normale Supérieure gave a keynote report on "Wilmorey's Conjecture and Geometric Flow" , Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun had a refreshing feeling, and naturally won the applause of the audience.

And Professor Usman's report "Building a High-Dimensional Space Regularity Structure Theory for Stochastic Partial Differential Equations" also aroused great attention and discussion, with thunderous applause.

After returning to the hotel, Ning Qingyun said anxiously: "Qin Xiaoke, the professors who gave the report today are all amazing. I think their achievements are too outstanding. We seem to be inferior to them."

Seeing that Ning Qingyun's confidence had been blown down, Qin Ke couldn't help being happy.

"Do you feel that they are blowing too much, as if not awarding them a Fields Medal would be a pity for their great contributions to the mathematics community?"

Ning Qingjun burst out laughing at Qin Ke's mocking tone: "It's not so exaggerated, I just think their academic achievements are very good, which makes me feel like an eye-opener."

Qin Ke curled his lips: "Actually, the content of their reports is just that. For example, Professor Usman claimed to have created a 'new theory of high-dimensional space-regularity structure theory', which sounds very lofty, but it is purely just Good at packaging, the essence of his report is to propose a well-determined general method for stochastic partial differential equations with singular noise under subcritical conditions. It is innovative, bright, and deep, but it is far from what he boasted high."

Speaking of this, the corner of Qin Ke's mouth curled up: "However, today's report meeting is really rewarding. We both have too little experience in giving reports at such high-end academic report meetings. I didn't expect to be able to pack knowledge in this way. This time it is a study arrive."

Qin Ke participated in the academic report meeting of Puda University before, but there was no award selection at that time - oh, except for the award of "best speaker", which is not really an award - so the language of most of the speakers The styles are more pragmatic, concise, and point to the core, in order to present their academic achievements in the shortest possible time.

But this time the style of the Breakthrough Prize presentation was completely different. Everyone was rushing to win the award, and they did everything they could to package their academic achievements. Except for not falsifying, proper exaggeration was nothing at all. Not to mention the luxurious packaging of the name and meaning of one's own academic achievements, which is simply hopeful for a new style.

——Oh, who is Mochizuki Shinichi?This big guy is a professor of mathematics at Kyoto University. His academic achievements are known for being "cool and crazy". Mysterious terms that are unheard of in the mathematics world, including the so-called "alien arithmetic holomorphic structure", make people unintelligible, seemingly reasonable but unintelligible.

By the way, Mochizuki Shinichi is a student of Faltings. Faltings, who has always been known for his academic rigor, has such a student with such a sudden change in style. Is it dumbfounding?

Qin Ke suddenly felt that the mathematical processing method he named, whether it was "the fourth-order transformation method of Lime number theory" or "Hypergeometric mapping method of Lime number theory", was simply weak compared to the various exaggerated and gorgeous naming methods of today's professors. It exploded, look at others, "a new theory of high-dimensional space", tsk tsk.

Ning Qingyun frowned slightly: "But I can't learn their style. You can talk so well, it's probably okay."
