After the election, today's meeting process has come to an end. As for other selections such as the Hua Luogeng Award, the selection committee members of the Chen Shengshen Award, the selection of the working committee leaders, etc., they will have to wait until next year's Standing Council for discussion; the next two days are

Routine academic exchange work.

Lu Qiujian's name appeared majestically in the list of executive directors, and was very eye-catching surrounded by a group of principals, vice principals, deans, deputy deans, directors, and deputy directors; but no one attended the meeting.

Protest openly, because after all, the world of mathematics is a place that values ​​strength. If you are only a little higher than others, others may use excuses such as age and seniority to pull you down. But if you are much higher than others, of course they will not.

You will be asking for boredom.

Another important reason why Lu Qiujian was able to obtain this position easily is that he is now a student at the Capital University, and he has the thickest tree in the Chinese mathematics circle behind him. This big tree provides him with shelter from the wind and rain. Others

He didn't dare to offend easily; if he was a student from an unknown institution, even if he had made such great achievements, he would still be in trouble even if he was still elected in the end.

The Chinese mathematics community can basically be divided into three factions: the Capital University faction where Lu Qiujian belongs. In addition to scholars working in the Capital University, this faction also has several members of the Chinese Academy of Sciences who have deep connections with the Capital University.

, with a large number of people, the strongest strength.

Academician Gu who presented the award to Director Gong belongs to the Hatching Egg F Chang F Feng F Wen F faction. In addition to scholars from their own school, they also have allies working in the Academy of Sciences, but their strength is weaker than that of the Capital University.

Which academician Wang who presented the award to Lu Qiujian belongs to the academy of sciences. This group seems to have the largest number of people at first glance. However, because they are from different institutions and because of the conflicts that occurred during the previous reforms of the academy of sciences, there is no relationship between them.

It lacks cohesion; so much so that it is often used separately by the Capital University and the Hatching University in some major events.

The rest are all members of miscellaneous factions. There may be one or two talented people from time to time, but in the end they cannot compare with the above three factions.

If the world of mathematics is compared to Jianghu, then the Capital University is Shaolin, which firmly occupies the throne of the number one sect in the world; hatching eggs is Wudang, and no one can beat it except Shaolin; the scientific academy is like Mingjiao, although there are many masters, but

no one

The leader who can suppress the situation has many contradictions in the church and cannot compete with the above two sects; as for the others, they are small sects such as Huashan and Taishan. Under normal circumstances, they are okay. If they encounter major problems, they can only seek the above-mentioned methods.

Three factions of help.

There are historical reasons for the current situation of the Chinese mathematics community. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the mathematics community in China was divided into two schools: the Chen Su School and the Shuimu School.

The Chen-Su School is a school of thought at Wuyue University founded by Chen Jiangong and Su Buqing. They regard seminars as an important form of mathematical research, and discuss function theory and differential geometry respectively. Students exchange their latest research with each other in the seminars.

progress and country

International frontier issues, which is quite similar to Princeton's afternoon tea party. This novel teaching model greatly stimulated the creativity of students, allowing Wuyue University to form a partnership with the Chicago School in the United States and the Roman School in Noodle Country in terms of differential geometry.

The three-legged power.

As the name suggests, the Shuimu School is the mathematics department of Shuimu University. Under the guidance of Xiong Qinglai, Yang Wuzhi and others, they actively introduced the international advanced mathematics teaching system and advocated academic research. In addition to inviting well-known domestic mathematicians such as Chen Shengshen and Hua Luogeng to give lectures, they also

Hire Jacques from abroad

Adamat is a French mathematician who has made outstanding contributions to the prime number theorem. Wey, an important figure in the Bourbaki school mentioned above, is his student. Norbert Venetian, a mathematician and founder of cybernetics, and other world-class scholars serve as guests.

Professor; has made a series of major achievements in academic and teaching.

In the third year after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the adjustment of departments in colleges and universities across the country broke this pattern. The Department of Mathematics of Shuimu University was merged into the Department of Mathematics of Beijing Normal University; the mathematical backbones of Wuyue University such as Chen Jiangong and Su Buqing went north and merged into the Hatching University. The remaining

personnel entered Wuyue Normal University. After they left, the original school established an Advanced Mathematics Teaching and Research Office to take charge of higher mathematics education within the school. They no longer held scientific research tasks, and since then the two schools of thought have gradually dissipated.

Capital University, which annexed the Shuimu Department, and Hatcher University, with Chen Su joining, suddenly emerged in the field of mathematics. In addition, the national policy of building Capital University and Hatcher University at that time, as well as the small scale of mathematics majors in other colleges and the weak teaching staff, etc.

.leading to the current situation where these two factions have an absolute monopoly in China.

These two schools have trained a number of scholars who are famous overseas, and at the same time they have monopolized half of the candidates for mathematics academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. This method has maintained their monopoly position. It has also attracted the disgust of some high-minded scholars.

Of course, this situation does not only occur in the Chinese mathematics community. In the domestic chemistry community, there are also factions such as Beijing Normal University, Academy of Sciences, Ludao University, and Central University. Internationally, there are also Bourbaki School, Göttingen School, etc.

Schools and other forces are not all pure and innocent.

When you see news on the news that a certain popular figure has failed to be elected as an academician, you can take out their resume and check it out. Maybe factional issues are the real reason.

In the short term, this situation is beneficial to Lu Qiujian. Capital University needs him to maintain and improve his status in the mathematics world. Lu Qiujian also needs Capital University to resist unnecessary troubles for himself.

The names will receive support from policies, manpower, and funds to prepare themselves for the completion of their plans.

However, this current situation in the mathematics community will undoubtedly undermine the confidence of other mathematicians and is not conducive to the growth of a new generation of mathematicians; some mathematicians who are still in their prime are even tortured by this problem, and some are discouraged.

He went to the United States to live in seclusion. Some teachers and students turned against each other and lost their lives, and some changed families but failed to get what they wanted.

This is also an important reason why the Chinese mathematics community has not developed significantly in recent years, so in the long run this situation will be unfavorable to Lu Qiujian.

Hey, there are still a lot of things to worry about. Lu Qiujian sighed slightly. Although he has a certain say in the circle now, it is still not enough to change this situation; maybe he will get Phil in two years' time.

The words you speak out when you are receiving the award will have some weight. I hope that a good way to change this trend can be found by then. To be continued.
