From top stream to scholar

"Do you know what he was studying at that time?"

"Ah?" The reporter was confused by Professor Chen Yuan's rhetorical question.How did she know what Yu Wanzhou was doing at that time?But he should be doing research on some difficult math problem, right?

The reporter waited for Professor Chen Yuan to decrypt it.

Professor Chen Yuan said with a smile, "At that time, he was just 16 years old when he was in the first year of high school. He was looking for materials such as algebra, automorphic function theory, and linear algebra in the Yucheng Municipal Library, and was looking to unravel Hill's Bert No.12 asked Kronecker's theorem on Abelian fields to be extended to any algebraic rational field. I will not talk about this question. Even now, I am afraid that few people in China or even in the world can do it. "

"Before he came up with this problem, the Max-Planck Institute of Mathematics and the New York Institute of Mathematics had been studying for several years. It took Yu Wanzhou only half a year to solve this mathematical problem. Later, he It took several months to make the Hilbert No.11 question."

"Then his undergraduate graduation project is one of the millennium general problems. In other words, it can also be called the BSD conjecture, one of the seven major mathematical problems in the world."

"He also won the Fields Medal because of the proof of the BSD conjecture." Professor Chen Yuan smiled and continued, "However, when he participated in the International Congress of Mathematicians, he solved the Hodge conjecture on the spot. Another seven One of the big mathematical problems, it is very natural to become a top mathematician. The BSD conjecture is a problem between the arithmetic and properties of the Abelian series on algebra, and the Hodge conjecture involves algebra, topology and geometry. Guessing a single Abelian variety is harder."

"I also participated in his doctoral graduation defense, which was about mathematics, computer science and theoretical informatics. It was a very good graduation defense. I have never seen such a powerful graduation defense. This is the first time." Chen Professor Yuan said proudly, "The blue is better than the blue. He is a very powerful top mathematician. There is no doubt about it."

"So, do you think Yu Wanzhou is good enough to be called a mathematician now?"

"Why can't you be called a master of mathematics, Quanhua, can you find someone who is better than Yu Wanzhou?"

The reporter smiled and said, "Thank you for accepting the interview."

"We now know that Professor Chen Yuan has a very high evaluation of Yu Wanzhou, and Yu Wanzhou's experience is also very legendary. In 08, he studied in No.18 Middle School in Yucheng, and was admitted to Yucheng University in 09. 10 He received a double bachelor's degree in Mathematics and Physics from Yucheng University in [-], and then entered Princeton University for further study. In less than a year, he obtained a Ph.D. from Princeton University."

"For this doctoral thesis defense, as far as we know, this graduation thesis defense invited more than 100 professors from dozens of countries to Princeton University to organize an extremely large international graduation thesis defense review meeting. It is very grand and grand , Under such circumstances, after five days of defense, Yu Wanzhou finally passed unanimously and received a doctorate from Princeton University."

"For this memory, even though several months have passed, there are still many people who cannot forget it."

The camera turned and came to the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.

"When I heard that Yu submitted his graduation application, I was shocked. I thought he must be crazy. No matter who it is, it takes five years to graduate. Although he has made a graduation project, he wants to graduate. It is really too difficult. It is impossible for the graduation defense committee to approve his graduation defense, you know, he came to Princeton in August, and until April of the following year, there is not yet a year."

"There was indeed no pass. In the end, Princeton University came up with a method and rushed more than 100 professors to defend the international graduation thesis. Finally, the graduation thesis defense committee had to admit that Yu Wanzhou had passed the defense of the graduation thesis."

"He is really too genius. I might not be able to complete such a project for more than ten years. I didn't expect him to complete this project in less than a year. By the way, he also sent an article that is enough to be published in Chemistry papers on jacs." Professor Langlands frowned and pondered, "I've been thinking about a question, is Yu's brain structure the same as that of us ordinary people?"

"This is really a difficult problem." Professor Langlands said with a smile, "Many times, Yu's thinking seems to be different from ours."

【We can hear from Professor Langlands' conversation that he highly respects Yu Wanzhou.Yu Wanzhou seems to have a good relationship with Professor Langlands, and the chat was very pleasant. 】

[On September [-], Mr. Yu Wanzhou won the Crawford Award.This is an award awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences to mathematicians who have made outstanding contributions to mathematics. This award is issued by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.After the award was awarded, Yu Wanzhou not only won the title of foreign academician of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, but also was appointed as one of the judges of the Crafford Mathematics Prize.

According to the current president of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, Yu Wanzhou is already an excellent and top-notch mathematician. We believe that Yu Wanzhou is very capable as a reviewer.His review is the best recognition for the Crawford Prize in Mathematics! 】

[The Institute of Mathematics of the Max Planck Association for the Advancement of Science is the first foreign institute of mathematics to invite Yu Wanzhou as a researcher.It is also one of the top mathematics institutes in the world. 】

【Gerd Faltings, director of the Mathematics Institute of the Max Planck Association for the Advancement of Science, once served as a professor in the Department of Mathematics of Princeton University, and is one of the world's top mathematicians. 】

"Yu?" Faltings pondered for a while, "Genius, absolute genius. He is even more genius than Gauss, I can hardly describe his wisdom in words. It is hard to imagine that anyone can surpass me. But he He can, and has surpassed me. Perhaps, like Grothendieck, he is a traveler from the void."

[Grotendieck, the founder of modern mathematical geometry and algebra, is known as the Pope of Mathematics. 】

"The reporter is now walking around the University of Bonn, next to the Max-Planck Institute of Mathematics, where Germany's top mathematical geniuses are gathered. Because of her outstanding achievements in mathematics, Yu Wanzhou has now become the foreign director of the Max-Planck Institute of Mathematics. We can see that in the Max-Planck Institute of Mathematics, there is a photo of Yu Wanzhou, with the words "current director" written on it. I believe that the audience friends in front of the TV are as curious as I am, what is Yu Wanzhou? How can such a person become a top mathematics master, and how can so many people praise him."

With that said, the screen switched to the scene of the reporter interviewing Yu Wanzhou.

"Mr. Yu Wanzhou, hello."

"Hello." Yu Wanzhou was still a little shy at that time, smiling awkwardly at the camera.

"Do you have anything to say about winning the Shiing-shen Chern Mathematics Prize?"

"It's... not bad?" Yu Wanzhou said cautiously, "I'm very happy to be awarded the Chern Mathematics Award."

[Speaking of it, you may not believe it yet, Yu Wanzhou was a child actor for a while before.Later, after fading out of the entertainment circle, he developed a strong interest in mathematics. He first participated in the Yucheng high school mathematics competition and won the first prize.Then he participated in the National High School Mathematics Contest and won the first prize. In 08, I participated in the Beijing University Mathematics Winter Camp. We can still see from the results that year that Yu Wanzhou was able to get No.1 every time.After the Beijing University Mathematics Winter Camp, Yu Wanzhou was successfully selected as a contestant in the International Mathematical Olympiad. In June 09, he went to Madrid to participate in the International Mathematical Olympiad and won the first prize and special prize.

Then he studied in the Department of Mathematics of Yucheng University, and in November of the same year, he won the Chen Shiingshen Mathematics Award issued by Huaguo Mathematics Society.Then he was invited to participate in the International Congress of Mathematicians in 11, and won the Fields Medal, the highest honor in mathematics. In 10, he won the Crawford Mathematics Award and the Steele Award from the American Mathematical Society.

And now Yu Wanzhou has just passed her 19th birthday and is on her way to the Max-Planck Institute of Mathematics.Before our interview, the reporter learned.Yu Wanzhou is doing some number theory problems in a hotel in Sweden. Perhaps, when we wake up, Yu Wanzhou has solved another number theory problem! 】

"My God, is this a human?" The person next to Jiang Bo complained, "This is too...horrible, right? It's simply the ultimate form of someone else's child."

"That's right." Jiang Bo echoed, "My family uses this person as a comparison every day. You can imagine how terrifying it is."

"Is this comparable to human beings?"

"So many titles, tsk tsk, I'm afraid this person is going against the sky."

"You're only 19, and you're already a professor? You're younger than me."

"Oh my god, I'm not really a student. Look at this kind of person, the group of Jinghua Jingda can't compare to him, right?"

"Who says it's not, this is the truth in the world."

"I finally know what a genius is."

…………

"The reporter is now at the Max-Planck Institute of Mathematics. Mr. Yu Wanzhou was giving an academic lecture just now. We can see that the academic lecture hall is already full of people. Many professors from the University of Bonn and students from the Department of Mathematics are Has rushed to the academic lecture hall of the Max-Planck Institute of Mathematics. This is the second academic lecture given by Yu Wanzhou after coming to the Max-Planck Institute of Mathematics.”

"It can be seen that everyone is flocking to this academic lecture." The reporter held the microphone, and several foreigners beside him were trotting towards the academic lecture hall.

"Moreover, we can learn from the sign next to it that the content of Mr. Yu Wanzhou's academic lectures is some number theory problems and prime number distribution problems. Then the prime number distribution problem is also a problem in Hilbert's question. Now let's go to the academic lectures. Check it out in the auditorium!"

Because of the previous communication with the Max Planck Institute of Mathematics, CCTV is the only media that can enter the Max Planck Institute of Mathematics for interviews.It was also because of Yu Wanzhou's face that Hua Guo's media were allowed to enter the interview.
