Chapter 410 Special Approval of Outstanding Youth
“Huh?”

It was also the first time that Xu Qingshan saw Dean Wang, who always appeared to be a gentleman, swear.

Even though this swear word is used to praise oneself.

“We just made this thing for convenience, and it’s quite useful?”

When Xu Qingshan saw Wang Changping’s expression, he knew that the “Complete Book of Mathematics” in front of him was like a rare treasure to Wang Changping.

To make a comparison, even when Wang Changping first learned that Xu Qingshan had won the Fields Medal, his expression was not as exaggerated as the one he has now as he holds this book in his hands.

Because there is a traceable reason for Xu Qingshan to win the Fields Medal, it is just a matter of time. After all, he was able to break through the century-old problem of the twin prime conjecture and provide a large amount of output in the field of number theory in a short period of time. If he is not awarded the Fields Medal, then the International Mathematical Committee is blind.

But what surprised Wang Changping most was that Xu Qingshan could do so well in the field of education.

After all, normally, every teacher needs long-term practical educational training to be able to fully understand what students are thinking, understand the students’ learning paths and thinking, and use a model to apply it to the comprehensible scope of most students.

Even Xu Qingshan and his colleagues in the laboratory were not aware of this.

In Wang Changping’s opinion, the importance of “Complete Mathematics” is much more important than “Original Mathematics”, which is the French monograph that Xu Qingshan originally referred to.

Because the latter has a very high reading threshold and is built on the language logic of a foreign language.

Although mathematics is a subject full of logic and rationality, it does not mean that mathematics is not about language expression.

Probability, statistics, and logic are also crucial parts of mathematics, which will greatly affect scholars’ research paths and problem-solving thinking for academic issues.

Xu Qingshan and others can now take out this complete mathematics book.

It is equivalent to providing a road to becoming high-level scholars based on the achievements of countless predecessors in the education field.

The contribution that such things bring to China is not just personal honor, but more importantly, it lays the foundation for Chinese mathematics.

Before this, the person who was able to achieve breakthroughs in personal honors while laying the foundation for Chinese mathematics was Mr. Hua Luogeng.

Although Mr. Hua Luogeng may not have reached the top of the top in terms of international honors, his importance to Chinese mathematics is much greater than that of others.

Even Mr. Qiu, who would run back to China from time to time to give instructions, actually wanted to achieve the same goal as Mr. Hua Luogeng.

It can be said that Mr. Hua Luogeng almost single-handedly constructed China’s modern mathematics education system. As a pioneer in the fields of Chinese analytic number theory, typical group automorphic function theory, etc., he promoted the successful transformation of Chinese mathematics from traditional to modern with his personal inspiring teaching and research, and laid the foundation for a systematic mathematical discipline framework.

Including the fact that major universities today attach importance to their mathematical research institutes and implement an educational model that emphasizes both mathematical research and teaching, all of this is inspired by Mr. Hua Luogeng.

He not only trained many top talents, including Mr. Chen Jingrun, who was transferred directly from Ludao University to the Institute of Mathematics of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, but also rose rapidly to become a leading figure in the research of Goldbach’s conjecture.

Even Academician Wang Yuan, who had previously mentored Xu Qingshan, also collaborated with Mr. Hua Luogeng and proposed the “Hua-Wang Method”, which successfully promoted Chinese number theory research to the forefront of the world. Finally, relying on this great achievement, he was recommended by Mr. Hua Luogeng to become an academician of the Huazhong Academy of Sciences.

This includes his promotion of coordination and optimization methods in various provinces, cities, and autonomous regions across the country since the 1960s, which successfully transformed mathematical theories into production application tools and created economic benefits of over billion yuan for the country, which was an extremely exaggerated number at the time.

Even the various textbooks he wrote many years ago are still widely used by major universities.

Before this, both the country and Beijing University expected Xu Qingshan to grow into a benchmark mathematician in China.

They all hope that Xu Qingshan can lead Chinese Mathematics to break through the upper limit of Chinese Mathematics in an international perspective, and prove that Chinese people have more possibilities and more potential in mathematical achievements.

Now what Wang Changping fantasizes about is that Xu Qingshan can be like Mr. Hua Luogeng.

Becoming the founder of a new generation of modern Chinese mathematics enables him to reconstruct the theoretical and practical system of mathematics education as an educator and to improve the slightly backward Chinese mathematics education system.

Create the golden age of Chinese mathematics in the 21st century.

“Qingshan, you are still too young and don’t quite understand the importance of this matter to our domestic education system.”

Wang Changping said earnestly.

“Let me put it this way. If you can compile this Complete Mathematics Book well and completely, and maintain this quality, then when you finally finish publishing this book, its significance to China will be even greater than solving 10 Riemann hypotheses.”

“Because your solution to the Riemann hypothesis means that China has a top mathematician who can solve the problems of the super world. But if you edit this book well, in the next ten, twenty, or even fifty years, China may have more top mathematicians.”

Wang Changping spoke to Xu Qingshan with a serious face, and he seemed particularly serious.

This made Xu Qingshan realize that Dean Wang was not joking with him, but that he had indeed underestimated the value of the complete work in front of him.

“Okay, then I’ll move this matter up a notch.”

Xu Qingshan agreed.

Whether it is the Riemann hypothesis or “The Complete Book of Mathematics”, you need to grasp the main framework and core ideas of these two things by yourself.

He could leave the basic compilation and verification to people who had been with him in the laboratory for a long time, and they would understand it, but only Xu Qingshan understood the main part.

Xu Qingshan also discovered that the greater his achievements and the more honors he received, the more he was unable to cope with all the tasks.

But the meanings of these things are indeed very different, and I have to do them.

He has thought about it all. After he is done with his work, when he is in his seventies and is interviewed, he will also talk to the reporters about his great character.

“Qingshan, I’ll thank you for your hard work. You can send me the edited version anytime. I will go to our school’s publishing house to proofread and publish it. Don’t worry about the profits. They will be deposited into your salary card.”

Wang Changping patted Xu Qingshan’s face, gave him many instructions, and added.

“Don’t worry about the selection of outstanding young scholars. We at Jinda Academy will do our best to push you to the top this year.”

“Let’s go. I’ll go back and ask Academician Tian to help you with the selection process for the Young Elite Scholars.”

“Hey, that’s good.”

After seeing Dean Wang off, Xu Qingshan returned to his office and looked at the Complete Book of Mathematics on the table, marveling at it.

I was just looking for convenience at the time, but I didn’t expect it to have such high value in education. It was enough to alarm Dean Wang and make him run to my office. I guess it was because these students in my laboratory performed too well in the college exams and daily life?

Say something.

Xu Qingshan still felt that Wang Changping and the others might have had some misunderstandings.

Perhaps the value of “Complete Collection of Mathematics” was indeed underestimated by Xu Qingshan, but the reason why the graduate students in Xu Qingshan’s laboratory have such good academic performance and almost full marks in every subject is most likely because the qualifications of the students selected by Xu Qingshan were good enough.

However, since the dean was happy, Xu Qingshan naturally went along with him.

After all, they were his leaders. Although his attitude when talking to Zhou Qifeng was just like that.

Before leaving, Wang Changping mentioned the selection of outstanding young scientists to Xu Qingshan. In fact, Beijing University wanted to recommend Xu Qingshan to participate in the selection of the National Outstanding Young Scientist Fund.

With a great master like Tian Gang in charge, Xu Qingshan’s selection of a marriage partner was a sure thing.

“Come, take a look at the information. You basically meet the requirements.”

Tian Gang made an appointment with Xu Qingshan, but not in his own office. He ran to Xu Qingshan’s office with a bag of tea leaves to make tea and even occupied Xu Qingshan’s boss chair.

He casually threw the selection materials in his hand to Xu Qingshan, and he began to drink tea leisurely.

Xu Qingshan first arranged today’s work before returning to the office to look at the documents.

“These basic application requirements don’t seem that difficult.”

Xu Qingshan said casually.

The basic application conditions for outstanding young scientists basically consist of five restrictions.

The first point is the age limit. The applicant must be under 1 years old on January 1 of the year of application. Xu Qingshan does not have to consider this at all because he is not even 45 years old.

The second point is academic qualifications. Applicants need to have senior professional titles or doctoral degrees, and they must be Chinese nationals. When Xu Qingshan came back in August, he had already graduated with a doctorate, and his title was directly promoted to senior by Peking University, so he didn’t have to worry about that.

The third point is scientific research results. Young Elite Scientists need to have achieved outstanding results in their research field, such as top papers or national patents, and generally need to be the academic leaders in the school.

As for the fourth and fifth points, Xu Qingshan doesn’t need to consider them at all.

Fourth, the working relationship is required to be pure, with no formal employment contract with overseas units, and it is required to ensure that the applicant works in the domestic supporting unit for more than 9 months each year during the funding period. Fifth, repeated applications are restricted, such as those scholars who have already received funding for outstanding young scholars and excellent young scholars, and outstanding young scholars and excellent young scholars cannot apply for the same year.

This is also the reason why Peking University directly skipped the Excellent Youth Program and arranged Xu Qingshan to go straight for the Outstanding Youth Program.

“Isn’t it difficult?”

Tian Gang was delighted to hear this.

“Would you like to listen to what you are saying, kid?”

“I won’t talk about it for now. You have to get a senior professional title before the age of 45. I don’t know how many professors only get to be an associate professor when they retire. Although associate professor is also a high title, when it comes to the selection, full professor is the most basic requirement.”

“Just look at the last one. If you want to skip all those programs and the Excellent Young Scholars Program and apply directly for the Young Distinguished Scholars Program like you did, you must have strong skills and breakthrough achievements in your field. 45 is the age to just start your struggle. Only those who have a smooth career and have been hired as professors at prestigious universities in their thirties, or those who have been affiliated with top domestic families and have produced major achievements, are eligible to queue up.”

It was not easy for Old Tian himself to return to China to be evaluated as an academician. When he heard Xu Qingshan’s bland words, he immediately began to point fingers at Xu Qingshan and preach to him.

“Okay, if there is no problem with the information, just sign your resume, scientific research results form, and research plan. We have filled out the contents for you. After you sign, the school will send it to NSFC for final evaluation.”

Xu Qingshan signed his name.

“Don’t you need a preliminary examination?”

When Xu Qingshan asked this question, Tian Gang glanced at Xu Qingshan.

That look seemed to ask, “Master, what do you do for a living?”

“The unit is responsible for the preliminary review. We wrote all your materials. What are you reviewing? You kid.”

Tian Gang was grinning as he sipped his tea.

“No one will dare to block your application, but there are quite a few applicants this year. You may need to do an on-site defense, which is not difficult for you. After your application is approved, you will receive a lump-sum grant. Your application is special, and they have agreed to grant you 400 million. Normally, this is the total amount for 5 years. The money is not much, but the title is important.”

Tian Gang whispered to Xu Qingshan.

“But there are some things I need to tell you in advance.”

“The school hopes that you can complete the proof of the Riemann hypothesis as soon as possible within one year, because the Young Elite Scholars Project we applied for you is about the proof of the Riemann hypothesis.”

“If you complete the project goals ahead of schedule, we can submit an application for project closure, so that you can retain the title of Young Elite Scholar and continue to apply for the Yangtze River Scholar Program next year.”

“This is the fastest fast-track program for academicians that we have developed so far.”

Tian Gang said mysteriously.

This matter is indeed not suitable to be publicized, after all, everything was done through special approval channels.

“Can this be speed-passed?”

Xu Qingshan muttered.

“Did you hear me? Seriously, how confident are you that you can complete the Riemann hypothesis within a year?”

Tian Gang asked with concern.

“One hundred percent, don’t worry, I won’t leave this until the New Year.”

Xu Qingshan gave the teacher a promise.

He knew that this bunch of old men must have put in a lot of effort to get him this honor or that honor. They were in their sixties or seventies, and it was time for them to make breakthroughs, so he couldn’t fall behind.

after all
No matter what, it’s all for your own good.

“That’s fine.”

Tian Gang breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Xu Qingshan can keep holding on, these old guys from Peking University will definitely be able to create a great Chinese academic myth for Xu Qingshan.

Although this would require a lot of connections and effort, if it were really accomplished, Xu Qingshan, as a native of Beijing University, would bring immeasurable benefits to Beijing University.

Huaqing?

Humph, little Hua Qing, so ridiculous.

Once the true deification is successful, China will definitely have only one TOP0 university, Beijing University!
