Chapter 1573 Unexpected winner(1/2)
The unexpected artillery launch brought great shock to the ceremony of the Royal Science and Technology Awards of the Tang Dynasty.
However, Li Kuan on the stage did not reserve much time for everyone to digest, so he began to transfer the theme to specific awards.
After all, today is the Tang Dynasty Royal Science and Technology Awards ceremony.
"Mathematics is the foundation of all sciences.
In scientific research, any place that does not use mathematics or any place that has no connection with mathematics is unreliable."
As soon as Li Kuan came up, he gave everyone a very popular view.
Before this, no one has ever put calculation in such a high position.
Even at Guanshishan Academy, the most popular one is the School of Geophysics, followed by the School of Medicine and Chemistry.
Even the popularity of business schools and agricultural schools is higher than that of computing schools.
In other words, the School of Economics, which is obviously not valued, is in the same sympathy in front of the School of Calculation.
But today Li Kuan said something unexpectedly, and immediately diverted the attention of many people on the scene.
Let's study the artillery thing slowly in the future.
Let’s first listen to the speech of Li Kuan, the prince of the Tang Dynasty.
"When the study of matter has developed to a certain level, the development level of mathematics will become a shackle for the development of study of matter.
Similarly, if you want to convince everyone, many of the economic principles of business schools need to be sorted into relevant data and reflected intuitively.
As for the School of Chemistry, the calculation of various chemical reactions is inseparable from calculation.
Even in medical schools, there are calculation purposes.
In the past time, our Tang Dynasty has many outstanding talents in researching mathematics and has also achieved remarkable achievements.
Just the artillery firing that you just saw, the problems related to the landing point of the shell and the angle of the muzzle are actually closely related to mathematics.
Among them, the theory of parabola related plays a very important role here.
As the heir to the math master Wang Xiaotong, Wang Sheng has the most in-depth research on parabola.
His paper "The Application of Parabola" is one of the most classic papers published by the Journal of Science in the past year..."
With Li Kuan's speech, many people in the audience had different reactions.
"Wang Sheng, you are going to win the award!
You are finally going to win the award!”
Wang Jie suddenly became excited.
Originally, he was just here to join in the fun today, and he never thought that his cousin would win the award.
He knew that there was a little celebration between his cousin and Guanshishan Academy back then.
In addition, the Tang Dynasty Royal Science and Technology Awards in the past few years have basically been awarded to students from Guanshishan Academy.
In the eyes of Wang Jie and others, this year is obviously no exception.
But who knew that the first award Li Kuan announced was actually given to outsiders.
Even the status of mathematics is unprecedentedly high.
Many people may not understand what science is.
However, many people understand Li Kuan's emphasis on science very much.
Now Li Kuan personally said that mathematics is the basis of all sciences, which is a very high praise for mathematics.
Even when Li Kuan attached great importance to the School of Interpretation, he never said that Interpretation is the foundation of all disciplines or anything else.
Invisibly, the value of the Tang Dynasty Royal Science and Technology Award that Wang Sheng won has reached a higher level.
"This...this...this...this...this is I really winning the award?"
Wang Sheng was also confused.
He obviously didn't expect that he would win the award today.
Although he found it strange when he received the invitation.
But no matter how strange it is, it is not associated with my winnings.
"Yes! Go up and present the awards!
This is the Royal Science and Technology Award of the Tang Dynasty. With such an award, there will be no problem when you go to any academy in the Tang Dynasty to serve as a teacher."
Wang Jie pushed Wang Sheng and asked him to come on stage quickly.
Now the audience is looking at him.
"Has this Li Kuan changed his temper? He was willing to give the Tang Dynasty Royal Science and Technology Award to people outside Guanshishan Academy?"
Kong Yingda was surprised to see that the calculation and academic award was awarded to Wang Sheng.
He has also heard of Wang Sheng’s name.
But he never thought that Wang Sheng would win the award.
"Wang Sheng was still very famous in the Tang Dynasty's math circle. Even in the early years, he was a math genius in Chang'an City.
After so many years of silence, he also published many papers in the Journal of Science.
His Royal Highness attaches great importance to the artillery thing. The parabola theory he studied happened to be used in the launch of artillery.
That's why I won the award this year by chance."
Sima Caizhang conducted a preliminary analysis based on the information he knew.
"If it's because of artillery, that's understandable.
There are some new things coming out every now and then in the relevant theoretical research of mathematics.
But it is difficult for everyone to give an answer to what can be won and which are not qualified.
To put it bluntly, Li Kuan can give awards to anyone who wants to."
Although Kong Yingda didn't know much about mathematics, the Ming Mathematics Department was considered to be a relatively important subject in the Tang Dynasty imperial examination.
More or less, Kong Yingda also attaches great importance to mathematics.
After all, many basic mathematical principles are also involved in daily life.
But what is interesting is that in later generations, there was no math prize in the Nobel Prize, the most famous award.
It is said that it was because a mathematician stole Nobel's woman.
This also invisibly made another thing called the Fields Medal the Nobel Prize in the field of mathematics.
I guess Nobel would hate Fields as he was under the ground and wanted to jump out.
"Teacher Chen, this is the first time that the calculation award has been awarded to outsiders over the years.
Before this, all of us were the teachers or students of Guanshishan Academy, or the teachers or students of Guanshishan Academy who were once awarded.
With today's exception, the competition for math awards in the future will become even more intense."
Qie Duoduo and Chen Wumei have a good relationship.
Although one is a Tang Dynasty and the other is a Turkic state.
However, as one of the few female teachers at Guanshishan Academy and they are still women who have won the Royal Science and Technology Award in the Tang Dynasty, their relationship is still good.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always wanted to further expand the influence of the Tang Dynasty Royal Science and Technology Award so that more people can participate in the research of science and technology.
This time, it is not surprising that the award of the mathematics award to people outside Guanshishan Academy is awarded.
Even if I haven't done this this year, I will do it sooner or later in a few years.
If this calculation award always rotates within our academy, its influence will gradually decline."
Chen Wumei's mentality is very relaxed.
Of course, this also has something to do with her being able to see through the meaning behind this matter.
Just like the table tennis competition in later generations, because the awards are basically in China or several countries in East Asia, others have no competitiveness.
In this way, it is unlikely that the influence of table tennis will be expanded worldwide.
There were even rumors that the Olympics would cancel the table tennis match.
Although this rumor may not come to fruition, it is not a good thing to just say that something is always going around in a fixed circle.
"That's right, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty. His perspective on the problem must be different from His Royal Highness the King of Chu back then.
However, although the possibility of winning awards by people from other colleges has increased, I am still very confident in Guanshishan Academy.”
Qie Duoduo has been tied to Guanshishan Academy throughout his life, so he is naturally full of confidence in Guanshishan Academy.
"Wang Sheng's strength is also OK. If his parabola research is really well used in artillery.
Then I think this calculation award is fair to him.”
I vaguely felt that I seemed a little jealous of what I just said, so Chen Wumei added and explained.
