God Wei came again with his "legend"! This time, it was the first time to rush directly to the hot search, and the relevant entries were all in this style of painting ~ the thing is, the popular science blogger @ thief fork broke out a chat record. The above shows that Wei Shenwei Dongyi helped six doctoral teams solve the problems they haven't completely solved in four months. In order to thank him, the team filled him with a bus card.

As a result, thousands of waves were aroused for a time. Relevant stories about Wei Shen have also been found out by netizens again. For example, Harvard broke the school rules for him, won two full marks of IMO gold medals, "one bottle of water and two steamed buns"

Netizens commented one after another. I couldn't understand it, but I was shocked; The gap between people is so big.

Others bluntly said: the hot search in mathematics still depends on God Wei.

In this regard, the dean of Peking University School of mathematics said: it's not clear for the moment. Others can't do it. It's very common for Wei Dongyi to do it.

Sweeping monk of Peking University Institute of Mathematics

I believe many friends still remember the scene of the last time Wei Shen boarded the hot search, a bottle of water and two steamed buns, and an image of a properly sweeping monk who said "he is more interested in mathematics".

Also from this time on, the legend of Wei God in Peking University Digital academy began to be known by more people.

Wei Shenwei Dongyi, the gold medalist of two consecutive IMO full marks, almost won the gold award of Qiu Chengtong's undergraduate mathematics competition, the gold award of the first Ali global mathematics competition and the winner of the green orange Award

It is said that many examiners from famous foreign schools invited him on the spot because of the miracle in ChuSai. Harvard broke the school rules, "as long as you come to our school, you don't even have to learn English."

However, he still chose Baoyan University and graduated with a doctor's degree one year ahead of schedule.

After receiving his doctorate in 2018, Wei Dongyi chose to stay in school to continue his postdoctoral research. After leaving the station in 2019, he taught at Peking University and is now a researcher at the school of Mathematical Sciences of Peking University.

At present, his research interests are PDE (partial differential equation) problems and stochastic matrices in fluid mechanics.

Among them is a famous problem - Navier Stokes equation, which was once listed as one of the seven Millennium problems by clay Institute of mathematics in the United States, juxtaposed with Riemann conjecture and Poincare conjecture.

Some people describe it as a more difficult problem than using mathematical theory to clarify Einstein's equation describing strange black holes.

One can imagine the difficulty.

In short, it is to use differential equations to describe the movement of liquids, air and other fluids, such as the ripples caused by the lake, the wind spin caused by the aircraft rising into the sky, and the motion of cosmic galaxies.

In other words, this set of equations is widely used in daily fluid mechanics (turbulence).

But since Euler put forward the first equation, no mathematician has been able to completely solve this problem for 200 years.

At present, his main research achievements focus on solving a series of important open problems in the fields of turbulence, flow stability and random matrix, as well as some classical problems in wave equations.

During his PhD, he published 23 papers on fluid stability, of which 4 were published on CPAM (Communications on pure and Applied Mathematics), the top magazine of PDE.

In 2019, Wei Dongyi's paper "small gaps of goe" cooperated with Dr. Feng Renjie and academician Tian Gang was accepted by the world's top mathematical journal geometric and functional analysis (GAFA) and published online.

Its research results were also specially organized by the world-famous burbaki seminar in that year (2019).

(burbaki discussion class is a series of modern mathematics discussion classes. It focuses on the latest and important achievements of mathematics research and is an indicator of the main development and popular trend of modern mathematics.)

The young scholar with great potential and the dean of the school of mathematics of Peking University also spoke highly of him, quoted by the jiupai news report,

First, Wei Dongyi is very smart. Second, he was very attentive and did math. His own way of life is relatively simple. He was still a student. We also respect his wishes.

How to refine the great God of mathematics

Before coming to Peking University, Wei Dongyi was already a God in the Olympic Circle.

In 2008, at the 49th IMO (International Mathematical Olympiad) competition, more than 500 contestants from all over the world gathered. They need to complete a total of six major problems. The competition lasts for two days, four and a half hours a day.

In the end, Wei Dongyi was right in all 6 questions and won the gold medal with full score of IMO.

What's more unexpected is that there was one of the most difficult plane geometry problems at that time, which took the coach of the national team three hours, but Wei Dongyi solved it in two hours with the method of pure algebra.

A year later, in the 50th IMO competition, he won the gold medal again with full marks.

In fact, he showed his amazing strength during the training of the school's Olympic Mathematics team.

For example, let's have a look at all the full marks in the exam~

Some teammates commented that Wei Dongyi set a record of completing 23 and a half of 24 questions (the only half that didn't work out was destroyed by the rest of the team).

At that time, he also created many alternative simple solutions, known as "Wei method".

The refining of the great God of mathematics has something to do with the growth environment behind him.

His parents are university professors, and his father is a mathematics professor at Shandong Architecture University, so there are many mathematics books in his family.

When Wei Dongyi was a child, he often read it casually. At that time, a Book Hua Luogeng mathematics school appeared, which made him completely like mathematics.

Well, Wei Dongyi was still in the first grade of primary school.

When he was 14 years old, Wei Dongyi was noticed by Zhang Yonghua, his head teacher in high school, and asked him to enter the Olympic Mathematics team of the high school attached to the mountain division for training.

Later, he was admitted to the high school attached to the mountain master, and participated in the IMO competition during this period, opening his own road of "Fengshen".

Netizen: I can't understand it, but I'm shocked

As soon as this happened, many netizens were shocked by Wei Shen again: they are really idols.

I doubt that the world God Wei sees is formula and data.

However, some netizens believe that the news itself is misleading.

There are doctors who specialize in physics. In fact, they are stuck in the difficulty of Mathematics

Some netizens questioned the authenticity of the news itself.

On the one hand, why should engineering problems be solved by theoretical mathematics. On the other hand, the doctoral team even used ps5 as a cluster.


The truth of the matter is unknown, but this pure love of mathematics deserves the respect of all of us.
