The Science Fiction World of Xueba

Chapter 100 Peter Schultz

Pang Xuelin speaks at a moderate speed, eloquently explaining the connection between mathematics and daily life, and even the boring research career of mathematicians in the eyes of ordinary people has become full of wit and wit.

In the hall, many beautiful ladies who used various channels to get involved in the awards ceremony watched with great interest the oriental boy who was speaking on the stage, and discovered for the first time that besides power and money, the power of knowledge also So charismatic.

And those mathematicians who participated in the meeting, from time to time, smiled knowingly because of the humorous stalks in Pang Xuelin's speech that only mathematicians understand.

Pang Yongnian and his wife looked at their children with a smile in the audience, their eyes were full of excitement and pride.

Qi Xin stood beside Pang Yongnian and his wife, put his palms together and put them by his mouth, and looked at Pang Xuelin without blinking, like a little girl.

"When I was three years old, my grandpa began to teach me to read and write. When I was four years old, I came into contact with Arabic numerals for the first time. Since then, I have had an indissoluble bond with mathematics. Grandpa taught me how to think mathematically. Integrating into life, how to turn life into a part of mathematics, the origin of my earliest interest in mathematics was to explore some essential laws in the digital universe, and the satisfaction from the bottom of my heart made me realize that, As I grow up, become an adult, and age, math will be a part of my life..."

...

"As a mathematician, my duty is to explore the unknown areas of the mathematical universe, expand the knowledge boundaries of our human civilization, and consolidate the foundation of our human civilization in this universe. I am honored to be such a pioneer..."

...

Fifteen minutes later, the speech ended, and there was a round of warm applause in the banquet hall.

In the hall, Deligne came to Terence Tao with a glass of champagne.

"Tao, I found out that you, a student, not only has excellent math talent, but also has excellent speech talent!"

Tao Zhexuan said with a smile: "To be honest, I was also a little surprised. When I was a graduate student under me, Pang was not what he is now. Although he is very talented, he feels hidden inside. I thought he was at least It will take a few more years of hard work before he can stand out in the mathematics world. I didn't expect that he would become the most dazzling mathematics star on this planet in less than two years after graduating..."

Deligne smiled and said: "Haha, congratulations on teaching an outstanding student! Shall we have a toast?"

Terence Tao also raised his glass with a smile.

...

After the speeches, the dinner officially began.

Pang Xuelin was soon surrounded by guests, and he didn't even have a chance to talk to his parents.

"Professor Pang, congratulations, can we take a photo together?"

"Professor Pang, your speech just now was great. If there is a chance, I would like to let our children apply for your postgraduate degree!"

"Professor Pang, are you free after the banquet? Here is my mobile phone number!"

...

Pang Xuelin had to keep a smile on his face all the time to meet the group photo needs of some guests.

There were even some bold and beautiful girls who went up to take pictures and stuffed their cell phone numbers and room numbers into Pang Xuelin's pockets.

After finally getting rid of the entanglement of everyone, Pang Xuelin came to his mother and Qi Xin, but found that his father had disappeared.

"Mom, where did my dad go?"

Mei Yuqing smiled and said, "Your dad met a business partner just now, and was dragged away to chat. Son, you performed very well tonight, and you can talk more than before. Before, I was worried that you would I can't find a girlfriend because of my temper, now I feel relieved..."

Mei Yuqing glanced over Qi Xin, as if pointing something.

Qi Xin blushed pretty, and subconsciously looked up at Pang Xuelin, seeing that he didn't respond, she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

At this time, Zhang Deye and Qiu Chengtong, presidents of the Chinese Mathematical Society, were holding champagne,

Walking hand in hand towards Pang Xuelin.

Pang Xuelin smiled and said: "Mom, I have a friend over here, please excuse me!"

As he spoke, he greeted him with champagne.

"This child!"

Mei Yuqing looked at Pang Xuelin's back and shook her head helplessly, then she turned her gaze to Qi Xin and said, "Xiao Xin, don't mind, Xiao Lin's head is like an elm lump..."

"Auntie, I'm fine, I think it's good for my junior!"

Qi Xin laughed.

...

"Professor Zhang, Professor Qiu, hello!"

"Professor Pang, you spoke really well just now. I didn't expect that our great mathematician is also a speaker!"

Qiu Chengtong said with emotion.

Pang Xuelin said with a smile: "Professor Qiu has won the award, and I also said a few words about my understanding of mathematics indiscriminately!"

Zhang Deye on the side said: "At your age, it is very rare to have such an understanding. By the way, the World Congress of Chinese Mathematicians is about to open next month. When you come to the capital, I'm afraid I will trouble you. .”

"What's up?"

Pang Xuelin was slightly taken aback.

Zhang Deye said: "The new Olympic Mathematics National Training Team will start training next month. When you come to the capital, you can give lectures to those children at your convenience. Just like today, talk about your understanding of mathematics. Our country The future of mathematics will ultimately rest on you young people!"

Pang Xuelin said with a smile: "Okay, I will definitely go when I arrive in the capital. It is said that I also came out of the national training team back then!"

Pang Xuelin was not surprised that Zhang Deye made such a request.

Zhang Deye is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He is a mathematician of the older generation in China. He has made pioneering contributions in the field of trust region method algorithm design and convergence analysis. He also proved the global convergence of a class of quasi-Newton methods. One of the most important achievements of the 1980s.

As Zhang Deye grew older over the years, he retired from front-line scientific research positions and assumed the post of president of the Chinese Mathematical Society.

More often engaged in scientific research management and training of young mathematicians, the Chinese Mathematical Olympiad training team is organized by the Chinese Mathematical Society.

Zhang Deye, Qiu Chengtong and Pang Xuelin chatted for a while, and then they left. At this time, a handsome guy with blond hair and blue eyes and a typical Germanic appearance approached him.

"Hi Pang, nice to meet you! I am..."

Before he finished speaking, Pang Xuelin laughed and said: "Peter Schultz, I heard that you are here today. I wanted to chat with you this afternoon, but I haven't seen anyone! Nice to see you here!"

Peter Schultz, if Pang Xuelin was just an ordinary math genius before using the system to hack, then this is a genius among geniuses, another devil-like figure in the mathematics world, and the most popular among the younger generation mathematician.

Peter Schulz was born in a typical engineering family in Germany. His father is a physicist, his mother is a computer scientist, and his sister is a chemist!

Since childhood, Schulz has shown a strong mathematical talent. In 2004, Schulz, who was under the age of 17, was selected into the German IMO national team and participated in the International Mathematical Olympiad for the first time.

It's a pity that Schultz didn't finish all the questions this time because he was too nervous, so he only won a silver medal in the end.

This was a fatal blow to Schultz. He said that he could not accept such a failure at all.

So Schultz took part in three consecutive International Mathematical Olympiads, and won the gold medals of these three Olympic Mathematical Olympiads very competitively.

The reason is simply because this game is fun!

At the age of 20, Schulz entered the Department of Mathematics of the University of Bonn and completed his undergraduate studies in only 3 semesters, and then completed his postgraduate studies in 2 semesters.

Subsequently, Schultz continued to complete his doctoral research with his master's supervisor, Michelle Rapoport.

In 2011, Schultz completed his graduation thesis ahead of schedule and handed it over to his supervisor, Rapoport.

After reading Schultz's paper, Rapoport said that Schultz could graduate with a Ph.D.

In this paper, Schultz first proposed the concept of a perfectoid space, which systematized a series of basic theories previously created by Faltings and others.

He applied geometric methods to the field of algebra, and is known as "one of the most promising framework systems of algebraic geometry in the next few decades."

In addition, Schultz also gave a conjecture of the mathematician Pierre Deligne in the paper - a special solution to the Weight-monodromy conjecture.

At the age of 24, the University of Bonn made an exception and hired Schulz as a W3-level professor (the highest level in Germany), setting a record for the youngest professor in Germany.

However, Schultz's "abnormality" is far more than that. As a "prize-winning maniac", Schultz detonates the entire mathematics world every time he wins an award.

In 2013, Schultz was awarded the Ramanujan Prize.

In 2014, Schultz received the Cray Research Award.

In 2015, Schultz won the Cole Algebra Award issued by the American Mathematical Society for his seemingly complete space theory to solve the special case of the Weight-monodromy conjecture.

In the same year, Schulz also won the Ostroski Award and the Fermat Award.

In 2016, Schultz still did not stop winning prizes, winning the Leibniz Prize and the European Mathematical Society Prize successively.

At the opening ceremony of the 2018 International Congress of Mathematicians, Schultz, who was not yet 31 years old, finally lived up to expectations and won the Fields Medal after accompanying him for one session.

If it were not for the existence of Pang Xuelin, Schultz would be a representative figure among the younger generation of mathematicians and the youngest recipient of various mathematics awards.

But with Pang Xuelin's system open, whether Schultz can keep these records is another matter.

Now, some media have called these two the most dazzling new stars in the contemporary mathematics world.
