Chapter 582 The youngest mathematician published in Time Magazine

Researchers and full professors have the same level and treatment in higher education institutions like Qingmu University. The only difference is that researchers do not have teaching tasks and are more focused on undertaking national projects and leading teams (non-students) to do scientific research. Full professors generally have teaching tasks.
There are many tasks, including regular classes, leading students to do projects, and the number of papers published every year. Professors can also undertake national projects, but the core members of their teams are mainly postdoctoral, doctoral, and master's students.
Generally speaking, researchers do not need to participate in teaching affairs and can focus on research projects, which is suitable for people who are addicted to scientific research.
Professors are more suitable for those "good teachers" who like to preach and teach. After all, giving lectures will greatly distract the energy from doing scientific research. Of course, there are also some lazy professors who will ask graduate assistants to help with homework corrections or even lectures.
Professors who focus on scientific research but "do not focus on their main work" often find it difficult to be respected by students, even if they have achieved great scientific research results.
Seeing that Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were still considering, Mr. Qiu smiled and put down all four letters of appointment: "You take your time and choose, don't rush, the salary and benefits are the same, and there will be other generous rewards for scientific research results.
But you are not short of money. If you choose a researcher, your Green Lemon Number Theory Laboratory will be officially upgraded to a national-level scientific research institution. The annual scientific research activity fund is 10 million, and special funds will be allocated for the applied scientific research projects. If you choose
Full professors, you will be the youngest graduate tutors in the history of the school. After two years of tutoring graduate students, you can go through the process and gain some qualifications before you can tutor doctoral students."
"And you have a high degree of freedom of choice. It is stated in the appointment letter that if you want to switch from researcher to full professor, or from full professor to researcher, you can switch at any time. You only need to contact the school to sign a new one.
A letter of appointment is enough. If you are willing, it is not impossible to ask the school to build you a specialized mathematics academy similar to the 'Qiuzhen Academy'."
The old man added with a smile: "Of course, no matter which appointment letter you choose, I remember that you promised to give lectures at my Qiuzhen Academy. My requirements are not high, twice a week, two classes each time, and you decide the courses."
Just tell me when you get down. Qiuzhen Academy can help you purchase and distribute textbooks and other materials."
It can be said that the conditions provided by Qingmu University are very generous, and they give Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun the greatest degree of freedom.
Apart from the one given to Mr. Qiu, there are probably only two letters of appointment given to Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun in China with such loose conditions.
In the end, after Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun discussed it, they temporarily chose a researcher appointment letter with a higher degree of time freedom.
The two will also focus on three directions: physics, biology, and materials. Mathematics will only retain the topic of "Navier-Stokes Equations" for the time being, and this topic is closely integrated with physics. The two plan to spend one or two years on it.
Grind slowly, and there will no longer be any sense of urgency that must be overcome in the short term.
In fact, it turns out that Qingmu University quickly invited Mr. Qiu to personally deliver the letter of appointment, which was a very clever move.
Regardless of the fact that Qin Ke’s proof of the Riemann Hypothesis has not yet been officially recognized by IMU, the international mathematics community has its own judgment. The probability of IMU recognition is undoubtedly very high, and even if we don’t mention the last set of expressions of the Riemann Hypothesis
In terms of style, the academic achievements achieved by Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun alone are enough to shine brightly.
How could such a talent be let go?
So not long after Mr. Qiu arrived, the president of MIT personally came to see him.
His attitude was sincere and cordial, and he proposed to hire Qin Ke. Ning Qingyun taught in the Department of Mathematics at MIT. He also had a teaching appointment letter as a full professor, a graduate tutor, and the school also provided a villa with permanent residence rights, a personal assistant, and five million US dollars per year.
Teaching and research funding, the "privilege" of being able to meet with the principal at any time to raise scientific research needs, etc. The conditions are astoundingly generous.
By noon of the same day, all the top universities in the world, including Harvard, Cambridge, Oxford, Princeton University and the Institute for Advanced Study, all called to invite Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun to teach at the school. They were all full professors.
Graduate tutors are equally well-paid. Princeton University even stated that they will be provided with large houses and luxury cars, and will 100% solve the nationality issue. They will be allowed to recruit doctoral students independently without any interference from the school.
The last point is the most important power. Generally, professors can recruit students on their own, but they must submit the application to the school for approval. If the school deems that the recruited students do not meet the school's enrollment requirements, they have the right to refuse.
However, Princeton University gave Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun the greatest autonomy in recruiting students. Even if they recruit ten Xiaguo students every year, the school will not interfere and directly agree to it unconditionally.
This kind of treatment is really tempting.
As long as the two of them nodded, they would become the youngest full professors in the history of these top universities in the world, and become the powerful upper-class elite in the United States, living a comfortable life like a master.
When Mr. Qiu heard these conditions, he couldn't help but joke: "Princeton is really willing to spend money. I'm afraid it doesn't give such generous treatment to ordinary Fields Medal winners. No, no, no, you two come back to China with me.
I'm afraid if you stay any longer, those schools will take you back with your real estate certificate and luxury car."
Of course, it is just a joke to return to China immediately, because Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun will continue to accept interviews from international media. Although after IMU confirms that the Riemann Hypothesis is proven, Qin Ke will be a sure thing to win the Fields Medal.
But these two people have such an opportunity for the world to pay attention to them. How could Uncle Chen and Qingmu University miss it?
Even if Qin Ke doesn’t need to build momentum again, Ning Qingyun still needs it. Which country would think there are too many Fields Medals? Especially for a country with a “math medal shortage” like Xia State, before Qin Ke, the nationality of his country
The most powerful mathematician in the world has only won the Ramanujan Medal. He can't even touch the edge of the Crawford Medal, let alone the Fields Medal.
If Qin Ke gets a Fields medal and Ning Qingyun gets another, it would really be... just thinking about it can make people wake up from their dreams with joy.
It is by no means impossible for Xia Guo’s mathematics to achieve a leap-forward discovery all at once. Even if it is only a formal leap, it is enough to rekindle the confidence and enthusiasm for mathematics in this ancient country and encourage students to actively devote themselves to mathematics, the foundation of all science and technology.
Among the great theoretical subjects - rather than just pursuing the gold medal in the Mathematical Olympiad, the goal is just to get extra points in the college entrance examination and get tickets to prestigious schools.
In the next two days, the hotel where Qin Ke stayed became the focus of media attention. Large-scale media from all over the world continued to conduct exclusive interviews with Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun. Some of them were arranged by Uncle Chen and Qingmu University, and more
It was the media's initiative. They arrived in an endless stream like a group of cats smelling fresh food. If it weren't for Chen Ming and others leading the security guards to maintain order, it is estimated that the microphones handed over would have been able to kill Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun.
submerged.
Faced with countless questions, Qin Ke, who has long been familiar with dealing with reporters, seemed to be able to handle them with ease. Ning Qingyun also learned the "tricks" taught by Qin Ke. Anyway, when he encountered questions that were difficult to answer or might have pitfalls, he would answer them
Lead to mathematics, use mathematics as a metaphor, use a series of extremely professional terms, and put on an expression of "I am just using a very simple metaphor to answer your question." This will ensure that no matter how difficult the reporter is, he will be embarrassed.
Defeat.
Although Qin Ke's method was a bit crooked, it was very effective. The reporters could only change the topic without realizing it, so that Ning Qingyun, who was not good at interacting with people and was a little nervous when facing the camera being shot, slowly
I also started to cope with it more comfortably.
As reporters started writing, reports about Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun became even more overwhelming. Most of them were praising, but of course there were also some who were jealous and made some sarcastic remarks.
Among the media conducting these interviews were reporters and photographers from the world-famous magazine "Times". After completing the interview, the reporter politely asked Qin Ke for his opinion and showed a photo of the famous reporter Bates.
Meier took a close-up photo of Chinke on stage when he was deducing the last set of expressions of the Riemann Hypothesis. He requested Chinke's permission to put this photo on the cover of Time Magazine.
This means that Qin Ke will become the cover character of the next issue of Time magazine.
Qin Ke knew that this was an opportunity to expand the influence of Xia's mathematics and change the current situation of Xia's mathematics community, so he naturally would not refuse it.
So a week later, Qin Ke’s photo appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, breaking the record of Facebook President Mark Zuckerberg appearing on the cover of Time Magazine at the age of 26, and becoming the first person in the world to appear on the cover of Time Magazine.
the youngest mathematician.
Qin Ke's photos and the story of "Young Mathematicians from Xia Guo and the Riemann Hypothesis" have therefore entered thousands of households, becoming what parents around the world call "other people's children", and have also become the inspiration for countless students.
An example of envy and adoration.
Not only was the international media extremely lively, Xia Guoli's major newspapers and websites also spared no effort to promote the Riemann Hypothesis. The two social messages posted by Professor Tao were widely quoted. Who wouldn't be full of glory when mentioning it?
Even CC1 and the Xia Guo Education Channel have launched a special series of reports on "Mathematical Academician Introduces the Riemann Hypothesis to You" to comprehensively interpret the past and present of the Riemann Hypothesis.
All of this is naturally to show that Xia Guo Mathematics is moving towards a glorious future.
If IMU hadn't officially announced that Qin Ke had proved the Riemann Hypothesis, I'm afraid the scene would have been ten times more heated.
Unlike the excitement in the media world, the academic world, especially the mathematics world, has slowly become quiet.
Because the complete live video has been released, which clearly records the entire process of Qin Ke's derivation of the fifth set of expressions, countless mathematicians and mathematics enthusiasts have plunged into it, verifying Qin Ke's work step by step from the beginning.
Derivation.
Some of them have the purpose of learning, some have the purpose of verification, and some want to find faults and become famous all over the world.
Internet celebrity professors and top academics in major academic live broadcast rooms also used this incident to comment and analyze Qin Ke's derivation process.
Unfortunately, most people soon fell into a state of self-doubt about "who am I", "where am I" and "why should I read this book", especially those mathematicians whose research fields are not consistent with analytic number theory
, the original confidence and arrogance were completely wiped out by the first third of the derivation process. By the time I got to the halfway point, I had no idea what Qin Ke was writing.
After all, Qin Ke involved too many mathematical theories in the derivation process. Nowadays, most mathematicians and mathematical researchers tend to specialize in sub-fields. There are almost no people who are proficient in each sub-field. Even
Professor Tao, who is known as the "genius among geniuses", is just familiar with most fields and can talk eloquently. He is really good at only nine sub-fields such as harmonic analysis, partial differential equations, combinatorial mathematics, analytic number theory, and algebraic number theory.
Looking around the world, only Qin Ke has the huge knowledge system provided by the system, and has integrated Riemann's mathematical knowledge and mathematical thinking, plus his mathematical ability is comparable to that of the Philippine Prize winner, and is comparable to Ramanujan's mathematics.
Only through intuition can I write dozens of pages of derivation processes that incorporate twenty or thirty subfields and subdisciplines in one hour and three minutes.
So it is understandable that mathematicians from all over the world are confused by this.
After two days of interviews, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were finally able to return to China. This time, Mr. Qiu happened to be going home, so he "escorted" the two of them back together.
Mr. Qiu is not very good at analytic number theory, but he is a real expert in calculus, algebraic geometry, differential geometry, topology, and mathematical physics. He has proved major conjectures such as Calabi’s conjecture and positive mass conjecture, and he is very good in physics.
He also made considerable achievements. The Calabi-Yau manifold named after him is the basic concept of string theory in physics.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Along the way, Qin Ke and Mr. Qiu exchanged problems in mathematics and physics, and they benefited a lot.
Mr. Qiu was also surprised. The active thinking, mature and rich knowledge system, and solid theoretical foundation of these two young mathematicians are indeed no less than any professor in the country, and even better. No wonder they have achieved the master's degree at such a young age.
The academic achievements of the University of Nottingham.
At Qin Ke's repeated request in advance, the news of their return to China was blocked this time, and there was no large-scale welcoming ceremony. Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun finally had to quietly return to Xingguang Mingyuan's new home to rest comfortably.
For two days.
Then the two of them, accompanied by their assistant Fang Yongtang, quietly returned to Yuanzhou to visit relatives.
Ning Qingyun wanted to see her grandparents and report the good news, and Qin Ke also wanted to see his parents, sister, grandfather and other relatives, but the attention paid to them was too high, even if they wore sunglasses and a hat in a low-key manner,
Even though I was sitting in a more private seat like first class, I was still recognized by my fellow passengers.
Not long after they got off the plane, the news that "Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun have returned to China and are in Yuanzhou" quickly spread on the Internet.
Qin Kegang took Ning Qingyun back to his hometown of Qingping Town. The leaders of the town led people to present banners and plaques with gongs and drums. The whole town was excited. The next day, big figures in the city and even the province
They all drove over, greeted Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun in various ways, and even invited them to return to teach at a university in Yuanzhou.
After finally getting over it, reporters and self-media from all walks of life came to visit. The most ridiculous thing was that several old people who looked somewhat similar to Qin Yanghui also came to "recognize their relatives" after hearing the news, saying that they were Qin Ke's long-lost girlfriend.
Grandpa wanted Qin Ke to "recognize his ancestors and return to the clan", but when he asked about Qin Yanghui's childhood in the orphanage, his answer was full of flaws. Later, Chen Ming came forward and led a few people to send these "recognized relatives" away.
.
Due to such trouble, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun had to end their plan to rest for a few days in Qingping Town ahead of schedule, and drove to a relatively secluded and quiet nursing home to accompany their grandfather Ning Jingguang and grandma Chu Mimei.
Qin Xiaoke hadn't seen her brother and sister-in-law for a long time and wanted to follow them. Ning Qingyun felt soft and asked her to follow.
After arriving at the sanatorium, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun finally stayed away from the spotlight and noise and lived a peaceful life again. They could also return their energy to the topic at hand and pay attention to the research progress of computational seed science and new desert sweet potatoes.
, strengthening exchanges and cooperation in quantum theory with Professor Koppet who is far away in Germany, and at the same time continuing to study the N-S equation slowly to prepare for their upcoming postgraduate life.
However, such a peaceful and fulfilling life was soon broken by an unexpected phone call.
