Chapter 594 Clay Mathematics Research Prize and Ostrowski Prize!
Zink set the goal of the first millennium problem to be solved next as the "Navier-Stokes equation".
The reason is very simple. Since he and Ning Qingyun are now focusing on fluid mechanics and N-S equations, they should solve this first. After all, if physics wants to upgrade and win awards, it must have impressive academic achievements in physics.
As for the Hodge Conjecture, just treat it as dessert and fun. Spend two or three years slowly digesting and absorbing the S-level knowledge in your mind, "The Secret of the Hodge Conjecture", and then think about releasing it.
Having set a goal, Qin Ke planned to return his energy to physics, but cracking the Riemann Hypothesis was no small feat. Interviews and reports from all aspects were pouring in, and invitations to give lectures from all over the world were flying like snowflakes.
Fortunately, Qingmu University tried its best to block the noise from the outside world. Only some interviews that could not be postponed required Qin Ke to deal with them, allowing Qin Ke to focus most of his attention on study and scientific research.
Before Qin Ke could take a breath, another transoceanic international call came.
This time the call made Qin Ke jump up.
This is a call from the Ostrovsky Foundation in Switzerland, informing Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun that due to their outstanding achievements in number theory, they have won this year's Ostrovsky Award. They are invited to attend
I will go to Zurich in late October to receive the award.
The Ostrowski Prize is an international mathematics award as famous as the Kohl Prize and the Crafford Prize.
It is a mathematics prize established by the famous Swiss mathematician Ostrovsky and has been established for more than 35 years.
The Ostrosky Prize is awarded every two years. Each session awards 1 to 2 mathematicians who have made significant contributions and major achievements in pure mathematics or basic theories of numerical analysis. There is no restriction on nationality, age or gender. The prize is 10 yuan per person.
million Swiss francs.
As long as he gets this grand prize, which means that the system requires "try to win five more international mathematics prizes that are equivalent to or higher than the 'Kehl's Number Theory Prize'", he will be able to complete 4/5, and the last one,
It is undoubtedly the Fields Medal.
This news made Qin Ke feel good, especially because he could win this award with Ning Qingyun. At that time, he could go to the United States to win the Cray Mathematics Research Award, then fly back to China to rest for about a week, and then fly to Zurich with Ning Qingyun.
After receiving the Ostrowski Prize, you can travel locally for a few days, and then fly directly to Berlin to attend the International Congress of Mathematicians held by IMU in early November.
Based on this calculation, from mid-to-early November next month, he will basically be flying around... plus the "topological quantum computing" collaboration with Professor Kopet and the lime plant cultivation experiment
The research project on a new type of desert sweet potato is in full swing in the laboratory. It may not be easy to concentrate on studying physical turbulence problems in the laboratory.
However, the road to scientific research is very long. There are still decades in life to devote to scientific research, so why are you anxious?
Qin Ke relaxed his mind. What he wanted to do most at this time was to tell Ning Qingyun the good news that the two had won the Ostrowski Award.
Oh, Ning Qingyun is not here today. Today is Saturday. Gu Yanfei and the others made an appointment with Ning Qingyun to go shopping.
Slowly, Ning Qingyun has more and more good friends around her, which makes Qin Ke feel particularly gratified.
…
Time flew by in study and scientific research. While Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were participating in teacher Jiang Weixian's turbulence research group, they also found time to give lectures at the Qiuzhen Academy of Qingmu University, twice a week.
As for Yanda, they give a public academic lecture once every two weeks on average.
On the weekends, the two of them either go on dates or go to the Lime Plant Breeding Laboratory to participate in and guide scientific researchers to increase research and experiments on the "new desert sweet potato", and the data are used to improve "computational seed science."
The "Topological Quantum Computing" project that I collaborated with Professor Kopet on started out slowly because of the new direction of "topological superconducting vortex state". However, as time went by, good teamwork made the research progress faster.
, it is estimated that some more exciting results will be released as soon as March next year.
During the period when Qin Ke returned to academic research, the lingering buzz around the Riemann Hypothesis was still lingering in the media and academic circles, and the excitement continued.
For example, the 500,000 copies of "Annals of Mathematics (Special Edition of Riemann Hypothesis)" released in early October were quickly sold out, and the editorial department of Annals of Mathematics stated that it would not reprint it, making this special album temporarily out of print. I don't know.
How many people increased the price online to purchase it just to collect it and commemorate the great moment when the Riemann Hypothesis was cracked.
For example, Qingmu University has established the "Qin Kening Qingjun Outstanding College Student Scholarship", which has 100 places each year, and each place provides a scholarship of 10,000 yuan to reward outstanding undergraduate students at Qingmu University who are serious about their studies.
This is the first scholarship awarded by Qingmu University named after a young mathematician from the school, and it was a good talk among Qingmu University for a time.
Next door, Yan University was not to be outdone. With the consent of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, it also established the "Qin Kening Ning Qingyun Outstanding College Student Scholarship", which is also a scholarship worth 10,000 yuan for 100 places.
These two newly established scholarships from two top domestic universities have attracted considerable attention.
This further stimulated various domestic merchants. They frantically contacted Qin Ke and the two to seek business cooperation. The highest bid exceeded 100 million yuan, which was higher than most traffic stars. It caused a huge sensation. Of course, more
What is sensational is that both Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun rejected all commercial endorsements and commercial advertisements, causing countless discussions.
In particular, Qin Ke's sentence "Academics are pure, I just want to study and do research purely, I have no time, energy, and interest in participating in any commercial activities" has become a hot topic on the Internet.
Some people say that the two of them are too stupid. After all, this is more than 100 million! They don’t have to do anything in this life, just lie on the money, sleep and play! How could Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun refuse? How could they refuse?
More people admired and applauded it, feeling that it was this concentration that was indifferent to fame and wealth that enabled this pair of academic lovers to achieve such dazzling academic achievements today.
Even the "Xia Guo Youth Daily" published a special comment, writing: "In this impetuous era of eager for quick success and quick profit, everything is about money, if you can remain calm in the face of great achievements and great fame, and not be moved by money, you can only
Ask your original intention and only pursue pure academic and scientific research. This is the true style of a scholar!"
Another news that caused a big sensation is that Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were both selected as candidates for the "Yangtze River Scholar Distinguished Professor" instead of the "Yangtze River Young Scholar" candidate that everyone thought was more likely.
Although they are only candidates, anyone with a discerning eye knows that since these two people can be included in the candidate list, it is not surprising that their names will appear on the official list of "Changjiang Scholar Distinguished Professors" announced on January 1 next year.
A "Yangtze River Scholar" in his early twenties! I don't know how many people are jealous and amazed, but no one dares to raise objections. After all, when it comes to academic achievements in mathematics, there are really few people in the country who can surpass Qin.
Ke and Ning Qingyun.
There are even rumors on the Internet that this is to prepare for Qin Ke's election as an academician of the Academy of Sciences next year.
It can be said that Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun are very popular in China, and they are so red that they turn purple.
Amid this heated discussion, Qin Ke, accompanied by Chen Ming, Zheng Haiqiao and others, bid farewell to Ning Qingyun and flew to Oxford University in Eagle Country to attend the Riemann Hypothesis academic lecture held by the Clay Institute.
and received a Clay Research Award certificate and a check for one million US dollars.
Qin Ke's arrival aroused enthusiastic support from local students. After the lecture, students from Oxford University, including international students from Xia State, lined up to ask Qin Ke for his autograph. The scene was even more popular than chasing stars.
In fact, Qin Ke is indeed a legendary star among overseas students. In this era when studying abroad is proud and foreign education is popular, Qin Ke is based on the domestic education system, but still achieved great academic achievements that surpass most mathematicians.
, how can one not be amazed and regarded as an academic icon?
Even the students from Oxford University excitedly asked after getting the signature: "Professor Qin, would you like to recruit graduate students at Qingmu University? We are willing to study abroad at Qingmu University and study mathematics with you."
When they heard that Qin Ke was currently only serving as a distinguished professor at Qiuzhen Academy and was not currently recruiting graduate students, all the Eagle Country students could not hide their disappointment.
However, the reporters from the Xia Kingdom who were present took pictures one after another and quickly recorded that the students from the Eagle Kingdom wanted to study at Qingmu University. This was something that had never happened before. This shows Qin Ke's international reputation and status at this time.
Another student asked: "Professor Qin, I heard that our President Carlson of Oxford University has an annual salary of one million pounds, tens of millions of scientific research funds, and a career as deputy dean of the School of Mathematics. I want to invite you to join Oxford University. Do you have any questions?"
Will you agree to this?"
Seeing countless expectant eyes looking at him, Qin Ke thought for a while and said: "First of all, I would like to thank President Carlson for the kind invitation. I still have unfinished studies in China. My job is a graduate student in the physics department, and I still want to continue.
Because of my academic problems, I had no choice but to decline Principal Carlson’s offer.”
The student did not give up and asked again: "Professor Qin, after you complete your studies in physics, will you consider working at Oxford University again?"
"No. I have never considered working abroad." Qin Ke said solemnly: "I admire Mr. Qiu from our Qingmu University very much. With his passion, he gave up his luxurious life abroad and spent his seventy-year-old career...
When I returned to China, I just wanted to cultivate world-class mathematicians for my motherland, and I also wanted to learn from him. And my mathematics teacher, Academician Wang Heng, once said that the future of mathematics in Xia State is entrusted to young people like you.
It’s in someone’s hands.”
Thinking of his teachers, Qin Ke's heart surged with enthusiasm: "There are also teachers Deng Hongguo, Shi Cunyuan, Lin Haibo, and Zheng Jianzhou in my high school. They all have a passionate and sincere heart for the mathematics community of the motherland and will spend their whole lives with them."
They have dedicated themselves to the mathematics of the motherland. They are older. Now, it is my turn. I will stay in the country and promote the development of the mathematics of the motherland as much as possible, so that more and more Xia students can grow into
Excellent mathematician!"
He looked at the group of Xia Guo international students: "The current domestic mathematics level is indeed not as good as the world's first-class universities. I respect your choice to study abroad, such as Oxford University, which does have a good educational environment. But I hope
, after you finish your studies, you can return to the motherland, serve the motherland, and cultivate more outstanding talents for the motherland. Yes, the motherland still has a lot to improve, but doesn’t it require everyone to come back and work hard to change it?”
Qin Ke really has never thought about working abroad. With Ning Qingyun's family background, it is impossible to go abroad for a long time. It is not easy to go abroad to participate in academic reports and win awards from time to time. How could Qin Ke leave his beloved one behind?
Xiaobaicai, going abroad alone?
What's more, he can have the most favorable working and research conditions in China, and he really wants to make more contributions to the education of the motherland, whether it is setting up the Lime Scholarship Fund or now taking the podium as a distinguished professor.
, as well as recruiting master's and doctoral students in the future. He hopes that the future of the motherland will be better and the talents will be more abundant. He also hopes that the mathematics community in the motherland will have a new atmosphere and that there will no longer be those local protectionisms that suck the blood of students' academic achievements.
The so-called master of mathematics.
He hopes that the tragedies experienced by his teacher Deng Hongguo and his good friend Associate Professor Chen Licheng will not happen again.
To this end, he needs more companions. He needs to use his influence to attract more companions to his side and work together towards the goal of "making the mathematics world better."
Qin Ke bowed slightly to the group of international students: "I hope that I can walk with you on the road to the development of mathematics in our motherland in the future. Thank you!"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Young people are passionate. In their hearts, they will carry the desire to serve the country, the dream of making the country strong, and love their motherland. Therefore, after hearing Qin Ke’s true words,
What responded to him was the warm applause of the international students and their faces with tears in their eyes!
…
Qin Ke's receipt of the Clay Mathematics Research Award did not attract much attention. After all, the reputation of this award is still a bit weak. Qingmu University only published a short message on its website, and the major media forwarded it once and then did not mention it much.
.
Qin Ke returned to China and began to seriously prepare a speech with Ning Qingyun at the International Congress of Mathematicians.
Qin Ke's report was one hour, and Ning Qingyun's was 45 minutes.
This is the largest and highest-level event in the international mathematics community. The two people represent not only themselves, but also the entire Xia Guo mathematics community, and are also related to the final ownership of the Fields Medal.
So even though Qin Ke holds the two "artifacts" that prove Goldbach's Hypothesis and Riemann's Hypothesis, and has almost stuffed the Fields Medal into his bag, he still will not relax his preparations.
No one knows whether an accident has occurred until the last moment, and taking academic reports seriously is a basic quality of a scholar.
But before the two of them could fly to Zurich to receive the Ostrosky Award, Wei Xuemingli, the head of the Lime Plant Cultivation Laboratory, called for emergency help:
"Mr. Qin, something happened in the Lime Plant Breeding Laboratory. Can you come over as soon as possible?"
Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun looked at each other and felt nervous. Wei Xueming was a down-to-earth person. If something really urgent had not happened, he would not have called for help like this!
