I just want to be a quiet scholar

Chapter 287 The Year of the Philippine Awards

After discussing with the academicians of Yanda Mathematics Academy, Shen Qi still gained something.

The next activities will be organized by the Chinese Mathematical Society. The activities arranged by the Chinese Mathematical Society are the old three: awards, speeches, and academic seminars.

The Chinese Mathematical Society has three major brand awards, the Hua Luogeng Mathematics Award, the Chen Shiingshen Mathematics Award, and the Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Award, which are the three major Chinese mathematics awards.

The Hua Luogeng Mathematics Prize is awarded to Chinese mathematicians over the age of 50, which is a lifetime achievement award.

The Chern Prize in Mathematics is awarded to young Chinese mathematicians, and Shen Qi has already received this prize.

The Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Award is awarded to graduate students and doctoral students who are currently studying or have just graduated. The evaluation standard is the level of mathematics papers.

Calculating the combat power and achievement values ​​in recent years, no Chinese graduate student or doctoral student can compare to Shen Qi in writing papers.

In principle, the winners of the Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Prize must study in domestic universities.Shen Qi studied in the Department of Mathematics of Yanda University and graduated from the Department of Mathematics of Princeton University. He was nominated by the Chinese Mathematical Society as "Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Gold Award".

At the awarding ceremony of the Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Award, Shen Qi won the gold award without any dispute.

Although Shen Qi's postgraduate and Ph.D. students are studying in American universities, this is no longer a problem. No one is picky, and the "Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Gold Award" was forcibly assigned to Shen Qi.

According to the media, Shen Qi has been qualified to give a 10-minute speech at the International Conference of Mathematicians in October this year. With the proof of Riemann's conjecture, Shen Qi has a certain hope of competing for this year's Fields Medal.

Once Shen Qi wins the Philippine Award, other mathematics awards will not be very attractive to him.

Surviving until the age of 50, winning the Wolf Prize, the Abel Prize, and winning the "Mathematics Grand Slam", Shen Qi will be like this in his life.

So before the Filipino Award was awarded, various mathematics organizations were very enthusiastic to send awards to Shen Qi. If you don’t give awards to Shen Qi now, Shen Qi may look down on him in the future.

At the awarding ceremony of the Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Award, Shen Qi held the gold cup in his hand and delivered a short acceptance speech: "Thanks to the Chinese Mathematical Society for the affirmation of me, thanks to Yanda for training me, and thanks to the motherland for trusting me. Even thousands of miles, I will continue to work hard, thank you."

The system prompts: "New achievement! The host has won the Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Gold Award. The basic reward is 35 Xueba points, multiplied by the mathematics master talent coefficient 2.0, and the final reward is 70 Xueba points. The balance is 7377510 Xueba points, Please confirm with the host."

"Condition progress for promotion to Mathematics Level 14:
Condition 20, 2000/0.0001 million, progress [-]%.

Condition 0: The number of mathematics awards at level A (including) is 0; five mathematics awards at level B, Chern Shiingshen Mathematics Award, Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Award, Ford Award, Scientific Breakthrough Award, and Cray Research Award.Progress [-]%.

Condition 0: No student has published papers in the four major journals, and the progress is [-]%. "

The progress of Condition 37 can be dropped to 14% immediately, but it is useless for Shen Qi to drop it now. The three conditions must be met at the same time before he can be upgraded to the "almost invincible" math level [-].

The International Congress of Mathematicians in October is getting closer, and the quadrennial Fields Medal has become the hottest topic in the mathematics circles at home and abroad.

Since the first Philippine Awards in 1936, IMU has never made public the details of the internal selection of previous Philippine Awards.

Mathematics lovers all over the world only know three public information about the Philippine Award:

[-]. A maximum of four Philippine Awards will be awarded each session;
40. The age of each awardee shall not exceed [-] years old; (the only exception is Andrew Wiles)

[-]. The winners have made significant contributions to mathematics.

Except for the above three public information that has been officially recognized by the IMU, the others are all rumors.

For example, if you want to win the Philippine Award, you must first win the Ramanujan Award.

Mathematicians who are invited by IMU to give a one-hour report of the highest specification at the International Conference of Mathematicians are most likely to win this year's Philippine Award.

Before the current International Congress of Mathematicians, one must have been a speaker for at least 15 minutes at the last or previous conference to be eligible to compete for the Philippine Prize, etc.

At the International Conference of Mathematicians four years ago, Shen Qi was just a freshman at that time, and he was a little transparent in the mathematics world. It was impossible for IMU to invite a freshman to participate in the International Conference of Mathematicians.

According to IMU's official announcement and rumors, Shen Qi meets some of the necessary conditions to compete for the Philippine Award. If he fails to win the Philippine Award this year, the only reason is Shen Qi's limited qualifications.

Including Shen Qi, this year, four Chinese mathematicians under the age of 40 have obtained the 45-minute report qualification of the International Congress of Mathematicians.

Gong Changwei graduated from the Department of Mathematics of Yanda University and is currently a professor at Columbia University, focusing on number theory.

Yunwei graduated from the Department of Mathematics of Yanda University with a bachelor's degree and a Ph.D. degree from Princeton University. He is currently a professor at Yale, focusing on algebraic geometry.

Xu Yang studied in the Department of Mathematics of Yanda University for his undergraduate and master degree, and graduated from Princeton with a Ph.D.Like Yun Wei, Professor Xu Yang also focuses on the most popular algebraic geometry direction.

Shen Qi studied at Yanda University for his undergraduate degree and Pudong University for his master's and doctoral degrees. He just got his PhD from Princeton. He claims to focus on mathematical physics and assist in algebraic geometry, but he is famous in the mathematics world for his "hobby" number theory and the Riemann conjecture.

The above-mentioned four great talents of Yanda Mathematics Institute almost support half of the country's young mathematicians.

Relevant departments proceeded from the far-sighted strategic needs and used all available resources to build momentum for the four talents of Yanda University, hoping that one or even two of the four can get their hands on this year's Philippine Award.

Yanda's four great talents won four places for this year's Philippine Awards?
Be sober, it's impossible.

Even Yunwei and Xu Yang have a competitive relationship. Their research fields are highly similar, and it is difficult to win both prizes in the same Philippine Award.

Among the four great talents, Shen Qi is the youngest, with the least seniority.

But Shen Qi has the highest expectation value placed by the Chinese people. After all, he is the one who proved the Riemann conjecture of the millennium problem, and he is rightly popular.

If you don't have enough qualifications, let's build momentum.

After receiving the Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Award, Shen Qi was interviewed by CNR Science and Education and CNR English Channel.

The CNR Science and Education Channel broadcasts to the domestic masses, and the audience of the CNR English Channel is the people of English-speaking countries all over the world.

In the world, there are not many influential Chinese media, only the CNR English channel and several other foreign language channels, as well as the English version of "China Daily".

Among the upper echelons and folks in the West, the most influential ones are the mainstream media in Europe and America.

IMU is headquartered in Germany. More than 70% of their members are European and American. Most of the review experts they employ are European and American mathematicians. The mainstream media in Europe and the United States have a certain influence on IMU.

Shen Qi has received exclusive interviews with mainstream media such as CNN and Discovery Channel in the United States. Of course, China's mainstream media needs to contribute, after all, Shen Qi is a Chinese mathematician.

The interviews on the CNR English channel are all in English, and the foreign journalists they hired had worked for the BBC.

All in all, it feels a bit weird. Shen Qi had to speak English the whole time he was interviewed by a Chinese TV station.

He also knows that this is to meet the needs of global publicity, so he cooperates very much with the English interview of CNR English Channel.

It is unrealistic to expect a Riemann Hypothesis to allow people all over the world to learn Chinese and regard Chinese as the world's first language.

"I don't speak English very well. I hope that one day I can accept any interviews and attend all activities in my mother tongue. This is my wish." Shen Qi said in an interview.

"Then you have to solve the remaining five millennium problems. I think IMU will definitely adjust Chinese as the first conference language." A foreign reporter from CNR English Channel said, and he asked Shen Qi: "Dr. You have won two of the three major mathematics awards in China, and three important international mathematics awards. According to relevant media, you have been nominated for this year's Ramanujan Award. It seems that your position in IMU's mind continues Elevate. We all know the rules of the game and what it means to be nominated for the Ramanujan Award a few months before the Philippine Awards.”

"The Ramanujan Award? According to the relevant media? Which media disclosed it, why don't I know?" Shen Qi was puzzled, and was forced to award it again?This time is an international organization building momentum?
