I Just Want to Be a Quiet Top Student

"Cough cough."

Shen Qi coughed twice as if nothing had happened.

The academic world also pays attention to seniority. After the elder Huang Weifeng published his academic views, it was Shen Qi's turn.

"Shen Qi, as the youngest winner in history, you are known as a math genius, how do you evaluate yourself?" The reporters turned their attention to Shen Qi.

"In the past, I was just an ordinary person." Shen Qi said modestly, "Now, I am also ordinary, just an ordinary person who likes mathematics."

Kakaka, ordinary people, reporters frantically taking pictures.

Professor Huang has a Ph.D. in Mathematics from MIT, an elite talent recruited by the country, and a full professor of the Mathematics Department of Fudan University.

Shen Qi, an ordinary person, won the Shiingshen Chern Mathematics Prize at the age of 21. His style is to pretend to be invisible.

I'm not afraid of pretending to be B and flying into the sky, but I'm afraid that you don't like acting.

Reporters are happy to interview people who pretend to be B-talents. There are hot spots and gimmicks, which are beneficial to the later news dissemination and traffic operation.

"But Shen Qi, the outside world generally thinks that you are not ordinary. You won the highest honor in mathematics in China at the age of 21. It took you two years to publish the amount of papers that other scholars can complete in ten years. Some media commented on your life. , What do you think of this?" The reporter asked again.

Shen Qi shook his head: "No comment."

The reporter continued to ask: "Hacking is just a metaphor, so let's put it another way. Since the Walsh conjecture was proposed, it has not been solved for 37 years, but you have completed this remarkable achievement. Shen Qi, how did you do it?"

"The Walsh conjecture is one of the conjectures in the series of Diophantine equations. It involves the confidentiality procedures of relevant national and international research institutions, so I can't disclose it." Shen Qi said seriously, and then said in a slightly soothing tone. : "I can only say that once the series of conjectures are completely cracked, the rules of the game in the entire mathematics world will be re-enacted."

Shen Qi's entire mathematics field, including Professor Huang's options field and applied mathematics field, is very high-end and worth looking forward to.

Shen Qi became a new academic star in the eyes of the reporters, and the interview atmosphere reached a climax.

Since Baijia Forum and similar popular science programs became popular, "academic star" has become a new concept.

Contemporary academic stars must not only have a solid academic foundation, but also be good at expressing themselves.

The award ceremony is about to begin, and the pre-event media briefing will come to an end.

In the lounge of the winners, Huang Weifeng stared at Shen Qi for a long time, and finally said: "Young man, you can really blow."

"Professor Huang, each other." Shen Qi replied, and he pretended to be humbly asking for advice: "Even if the B-S model project is successfully completed by Professor Huang, it can't change the rules of the options industry, right? All the research that can be done is done by Black and Scholes is done, and it is very difficult to award another Nobel Prize in economics in this field."

"Young man, what nonsense are you talking about?" Huang Weifeng was not annoyed, but smiled instead: "To these reporters, do I dare to tell you my real research topic? But the research on the BS model still has its meaning, Shen Qi, your loss The graph equation series conjecture, in fact there is only one BSD left.”

"Professor Huang is also interested in basic theory?" Shen Qi asked.

"Without theory, how can there be application? The height of theory determines the level of application. I choose application because my family is poor. There is no way. I have to support my family. People are poor and short-sighted." Huang Weifeng sighed.

It turns out that Professor Huang is poor and short-sighted.

Shen Qi suddenly developed a little liking for Huang Weifeng, his acting skills, his temperament, he is a fellow.

Huang Weifeng added: "Although I devote myself to the application field, I actually like to do theoretical research. I study it in my spare time. Although BSD is difficult, even if it is cracked, what should the entire mathematics world do? Seven millennium problems Among them, I think there are only two topics that can really change the mathematics world and even the entire scientific world, the N versus NP problem, and the N-S equation.”

"I don't plan to get in touch with BSD in the near future. With these reporters, can I dare to say my real research topic? It's just a show." Shen Qi said.

"Hahaha!" Professor Huang laughed up to the sky, and then handed Shen Qi a business card: "You are studying basic mathematics, and I am good at applied fields. If there is a chance, we can seek cooperation. Although I know the possibility of academic cooperation between the two of us. It's not very sexual, after all, our professional fields have almost no intersection, but you can ask me for a drink."

They didn't know each other, and the two winners who were alone in a small room came and went, chatting more and more happily.

Shen Qi and Huang Weifeng talked freely about topics that were not convenient for reporters to talk about.

Huang Weifeng talked about some of his views on Li Chai and Ge Chai, and there were some truths, which inspired Shen Qi.

Shen Qi talked about some of his views on risk-free investment subject to differential equations, which is not a golden rule, but it also made Huang Weifeng frowned and meditated for a while, and he was hooked.

"Stones from other hills, can learn."

Shen Qi and Huang Weifeng spoke in unison, unknowingly giving birth to the feelings of heroes and cherishing heroes. The School of Yan University and the School of Fudan University developed harmoniously in the collision of ideas, and the theory and application respected each other and only sought to prove the truth.

Father, like son.

Sometimes the opinions of non-professionals can bring inspiration to professionals.

"It's too late to meet each other."

Shen Qi chatted with Huang Weifeng for a while, then went to the venue side by side.

The auditorium was full of guests, and mathematics experts from both sides of the strait and three places gathered here.

The president of the Chinese Mathematical Society first summarized the development trend of Chinese mathematics in the past two years and the great achievements made.

Then the awards began.

Each of the two winners will receive an honorary certificate and a bonus of 100,000 RMB.

"The first winner is Professor Huang Weifeng from the Mathematics Department of Fudan! He has made outstanding contributions in the field of applied mathematics. We are hereby presenting the Shiing-shen Chern Mathematics Award. We invite Professor Huang Weifeng to come on stage."

Huang Weifeng went to the stage with his head held high and his chest held high to receive the certificate. In his acceptance speech, he said: "Actually, people who study mathematics work very hard. My mortgage has not yet been paid off..."

Professor Huang's words resonated with many mathematicians in the audience.

Only Shen Qi knew that Professor Huang had several houses in Shanghai, with tens of millions of assets. This was revealed by Professor Huang inadvertently during the private chat just now.

Professor Huang quoted the actual cases of capital market and real estate operation, and explained Mankiw's economic principles to Shen Qi vividly in a few words.

Professor Huang, who is poor and short-sighted, a capital market trader, Jing'an Huangpu and Changning, don't worry about rolling development.

"...But I think mathematics is our greatest wealth, and I will continue to work hard to find a breakthrough, thank you!"

After Huang Weifeng finished his acceptance speech, he bowed to express his thanks, and the audience applauded loudly.

"Thank you, thank you Professor Huang Weifeng for his down-to-earth acceptance speech. Next, we invite the youngest winner of the Chern Mathematics Prize to come on stage. He is Shen Qi!"
