Looking at the very conspicuous score of 59 on the math test paper, Tuanzi was very frustrated, and said to the hour: "Hour, I often fail mathematics, is it not suitable for learning mathematics?"
Xiao said: "Failing the grade does not mean that it is not suitable, there is a mathematician who scored 0 points in the exam!"
After hearing this, Tuanzi's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief, "Really? You didn't say that on purpose to comfort me, did you?"
Xiao crossed his hands on his hips and said, "If you don't believe it, I'll take you to see it now." ”
Xiao and Tuanzi traveled through time and space and saw a teenager sitting at a desk reading at night. They approached the teenager and saw a math final exam paper with a score of 0 on the desk, and the group believed that what the hour said was true.
Danzi asked curiously, "Why did he score 0 points?"
In 1932, when Japan bombed Shanghai, 13-year-old Wu Wenjun fled to the countryside with his father and hid for more than half a year before returning to Shanghai to study. Because he fell too far behind in his homework, he scored a 0 in his math test.
Although Wu Wenjun scored 0 points in mathematics, his physics score was very good. The physics teacher saw that Wu Wenjun was a good seedling and recommended him to be admitted to Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Wu Wenjun did not consider applying for Shanghai Jiao Tong University at that time, because the tuition fee of the university was not cheap, and their family really couldn't afford it.
Tuanzi on the side was a little anxious and asked, "Then won't he be able to go to college?"
"With the help of the physics teacher, Wu Wenjun finally won the second place and obtained the school's special scholarship qualification, but he had to apply for the mathematics subject designated by the school. ”
Danzi exclaimed, "Wow, that's amazing! From 0 in math to second place overall, he really worked hard!"
Time and space changed, and Tuanzi saw that Wu Wenjun, who had grown up, was walking towards a house and asked, "Where is he going?"
"He's going to see a very important person," he said. ”
Tuanzi was very curious and asked, "Who is it?"
Xiao said: "If the physics teacher decided the beginning of Wu Wenjun's mathematical destiny, then the person he wants to meet now is the key person who has embarked on his mathematical research." This person is the master of mathematics - Chern. ”
Wu Wenjun plucked up his courage and knocked on the door of Chen's net worth with a rather proud manuscript. The two chatted for a long time, although the manuscript was denied by Chern Shiingshen, but the exchange with Chern made Wu Wenjun gain a lot.
It didn't take long for Wu Wenjun to receive a job notice to go to the Institute of Mathematics that Chern was preparing to build. Following Chern, the direction and methods of Wu Wenjun's research began to change, and from then on, he embarked on the road of real mathematical research.
While working at the Institute of Mathematics, Wu Wenjun was exposed to topology, which opened his eyes. A year later, he won the first place in the mathematics group and won a Sino-French exchange student place.
In the autumn of 1949, Wu Wenjun went to Paris, France to study and work with Henri Gardan.
Danzi said, "What is the 'Wu formula' they are talking about?"
"Wu Wenjun studied topology, and the formula he derived was called Wu's formula. This was one of the major breakthroughs in topology at the time, and was vividly called 'topological earthquake'. Therefore, Wu Wenjun, along with Searle, Thom and Paulaire, is known as the 'Four Heavenly Kings of French Topology'. ”
Wu Wenjun, who has made many miraculous achievements in the field of topology, has been recognized all over the world. When Princeton University in the United States sent him an invitation to professorship, he was preparing to return to China and did not waver in the slightest.
Before leaving, the French colleague was very strange and asked him: "If you don't like the United States, it's good to stay in France, why do you want to go back to backward China if you are such an excellent talent?"
Wu Wenjun said: "Although our country is still backward, if everyone can go back to serve their country, then our country will not be bad in the future!"
Tuanzi subconsciously applauded and said, "What he said is so good!"
Time flies, and Wu Wenjun, who was young and ambitious, is now full of gray hair.
Tuanzi asked, "Hour, is he playing games in the computer room? This machine is so old, can he still play?"
"He's learning to code. ”
"Why learn to code?"
"He's doing a study on the mechanization of mathematics. Ever since he got a computer, he has been teaching himself how to code non-stop. ”
At that time, the boarding time of the computer room needs to be registered. As a result, Wu Wenjun ranked first in the weekly statistics of the computer schedule.
In 1990, with the support of the state, Wu Wenjun established the "Mathematical Mechanization Research Center". Subsequently, his idea of mathematical mechanization has not only become the research direction in the field of artificial intelligence in the mainland and even the world, but also widely used in computer graphics, robotics and other scientific fields.
In 2019, Wu Wenjun was awarded the honorary title of "People's Scientist", and his contributions and patriotic feelings will always be remembered by the people.
Danzi's diary turned a new page, which read, "Wisdom comes from diligence, and achievement comes from learning." - Wu Wenjun".
