The research fields of theoretical mathematics included mathematical logic and mathematical foundations, number theory, algebra, algebraic geometry, geometry, topography, mathematical analysis, non-standard analysis, function theory, ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations, dynamic systems, integral equations, functional analysis…
The field of applied mathematics was mainly focused on how to use mathematics to better support the development of physics, chemistry, computer science, and other disciplines.
Some people who were biased towards application felt that pure mathematics was too weak, while some people who did pure mathematics felt that the application was not pure enough.
But one of the characteristics of mathematics and other theoretical research is that we don't know when it will be useful.
Theoretic mathematics research was mainly meaningful to mathematicians and mathematics enthusiasts, just like how golf was only meaningful to people who played golf.
Needless to say, mathematics research was a clique activity.
In fact, it wasn't just mathematics. Many scientific studies were also meaningful to people in the industry.
We have been promoting " science and technology as the primary productive force " for a long time, so many people equate " scientific research " with " developing productivity." However," regrettably ", scientific research did not necessarily serve production. Or to put it more bluntly, scientific development did not necessarily bring about an improvement in people's living standards.
The significance of theoretical mathematics research was more to lay the foundation for the future, because the foundation of all natural sciences was mathematics. Only the progress of mathematics (or theoretical mathematics) could drive the progress of other disciplines.
Let me give you a simple example.
Do you think that when you go to the hospital and the doctor gives you an MRI scan and finds out that you have a disease? Is this really because the MRI scan has the ability to see through your skin and bones to see clearly where your disease is?
Wrong.
Nuclear magnetic resonance was mainly caused by the spin motion of the atomic nucleus. Different atomic nuclei had different spin motions. They could be expressed by the spin quantum number I of the nucleus. There was a certain relationship between the spin quantum number and the mass number and atomic number of the atom. The relationship between them could be expressed and calculated by a certain formula.
In layman's terms, the computer in the medical device used physical methods to perform mathematical calculations and then transformed the results into images.
To put it simply, your illness was calculated.
Therefore, theoretical mathematics existed to promote the development of other disciplines. This was its meaning!
Of course, Ye Bisheng would never use this reason to convince his teacher. Instead, he expressed his thoughts frankly and said that he had some more complete and detailed ideas and ideas on the arithmetic properties and analytical properties of Abelian clusters (BSD conjecture). He believed that there would be some results soon.
Ye Qisheng knew that Academician Li was doing this for his own good. After all, the domestic academic community had always been practical. Academician Li advised him to change his research direction because he hoped that he could produce practical academic results as soon as possible so that he could gain a foothold in the domestic academic community as soon as possible.
However, this didn't mean that China didn't value theoretical mathematics research. On the contrary, the higher-ups and the top of the academic community actually paid more attention to theoretical mathematics research. Almost all the people who won the Mathematics Lifetime Achievement Award in China were experts in theoretical mathematics research.
In fact, it was nothing more than the fact that Ye Yisheng had just returned to China and received treatment that exceeded 85% of the professors in the school at a young age. Academician Li was a little worried about his favorite disciple.
Since Ye Yisheng was very confident, Academician Li naturally couldn't force him to change his research direction. He only asked him to sign the laboratory application form and kicked him out of the office. Before he left, he asked him to quickly organize the information on hand and submit a research topic so that he could apply for a grant before school started.
More importantly, the institute planned to let him teach master's students first and let him submit his plan before school reopened in September.
This was the most important thing. After all, the people's teachers still had to focus on imparting knowledge and educating people. However, this matter only occupied a small part of the conversation between the master and disciple.
As expected, the more important the matter, the less space it occupied.
When he left Academician Li and walked outside, it was already noon. Ye Yisheng suddenly missed the food in the cafeteria. He vaguely remembered that the only cafeteria that was open during the summer vacation was No. 2, so he started to look for No. 2 while wandering around.
Then, our excellent and handsome Professor Ye once again displayed his "bad sense of direction" and got lost in the school where he worked.
Just like the old-fashioned love fairy tales, whenever the prince encountered difficulties, there would always be a beautiful princess who would appear at the right time to save the prince from the difficulties. Then, the princess and the prince would live happily ever after.
Hmm…
After saying so much, it was actually when Ye Shengsheng was lost and met Zhuge Dali who came out of the library again.
Zhuge Dali looked at Ye Qisheng with a smile. There was an inexplicable sense of mockery in his tone."Yo, Professor Ye, what's up? Are you lost again?"
Looking at the girl who had moved his heart, Ye Bisheng couldn't help but be speechless. He turned around and wanted to escape. However, in this vast world, there was only a man and a woman standing face to face. There wasn't even a crack in the ground where they could hide.
Ye Qisheng could only pretend to be silly. He scratched his head and laughed foolishly,"Hehe, that's right! Lost again!"
Zhuge Dali looked at the silly and handsome guy in front of him. He couldn't associate him with the genius mathematics professor who was known as the pride of the mathematics department of Jiao Tong University. The contrast was too great!
Yes, that's right!
Since ancient times, princes and princesses were attracted to each other. When Ye Tiansheng was attracted to Zhuge Dali, Zhuge Dali was also attracted to Ye Tiansheng.
Otherwise, Zhuge Dali, who had always been self-disciplined and self-loving, wouldn't have taken the initiative to hold Ye Shengsheng's hand.
Therefore, Zhuge Dali went back and checked Ye Jinsheng's information. He saw a lot of posts about Ye Jinsheng in the school bar. Then, he followed the content of these posts and went to Princeton's official website. He read Ye Jinsheng's glorious history from beginning to end and had a preliminary understanding of Ye Jinsheng.
