November 10.
New York, capital of the United States.
The 16th Veblen prize presentation ceremony was held in the Great Hall of the headquarters of the Mathematical Society of America.
More than 300 mathematicians attended the ceremony.
The bigwigs of digital geometry and topology came to the scene.
For example, Professor Fresnel, the prover of Poincare's conjecture, and Professor Dexter, who has the title of ”emperor of topology”
As a candidate, Cheng and five other mathematicians nominated sat in the second row of the auditorium.
Mr. oder rence, President of the American Mathematical Association in his late 70s, walked to the microphone with his crutches.
Received a sealed letter from the staff, which wrote the winner list of this Veblen award.
Under the spotlight, President aud tore open the envelope and took out a piece of hard paper.
It has three names on it.
”I'm glad to be able to present this sacred award again. The Veblen prize has been established for nearly 50 years. This award was set up to honor mathematicians who have made great contributions to the field of geometry and topology. Let their research results get the honor of application. And try to make the world recognize the weight of Veblen's prize. ” President Aude said in his small voice, ”now I can say for sure that we did. And those mathematicians who won the prize did not live up to our trust, and continued to adhere to the cause of mathematics and climb one limit after another
”Now, it's up to me to announce the winners of the 16th Veblen. They are...”
President aud's voice rose sharply.
The audience also raised their ears and looked forward to the tense moment.
”They are: Cheng Nuo! Noah Emmett! Kenneth Emmett! Let's congratulate the three mathematicians
Scene, applause!
Hearing his name, Cheng Nuo's mouth appears a faint smile.
Although it has long been expected by myself, it is indeed a pleasure to win the Veblen prize.
Although the public is not aware of the Veblen prize, its gold content in the industry is very high.
Especially in the field of geometry and topology, the gold content of the award is second only to the fields prize, which is the highest prize in mathematics.
Sometimes, holding such an award in hand, it is enough to stay in a university to eat and die.
Of course, Cheng Nuo's goal is the fields prize, and he will never stop his progress just because he has won the Veblen prize.
”Next, let's invite three winning mathematicians to come to the stage to receive the prizes.”
Under the envious eyes of a large number of mathematicians, Cheng Nuo and two other award-winning mathematicians rose to the stage.
When the upright, young and handsome Cheng Nuo stands on the podium, it becomes the focus of the public in an instant.
It has long been heard that a young mathematician named Cheng Nuo has sprung up suddenly some time ago, becoming a hot winner of the Veblen prize.
Now see Cheng Nuo's real appearance, that group of senior mathematicians are speechless scratching their sparse hair.
Cheng Nuo is young. The key is Zhang is so handsome.
Looking at the brilliant Cheng Nuo on the stage, he knew that he was a prize winning mathematician. What he didn't know was that he thought it was a special star invited by the Mathematics Association!
President Aude hung three medals made of pure gold around their necks and handed each of them a red certificate.
At the age of 21, Cheng Nuo became the youngest winner of the Veblen prize!
