Tsinghua University Mathematics Center
The cultivation of talents has always been a matter that our country attaches great importance to. Because the prosperity of the country cannot be separated from the outstanding contributions of generations of talents. Recently, Tsinghua has launched a training program for Qiu Chengtong's leading mathematics talents, which can directly recruit students outside the college entrance examination. Then why did Tsinghua University launch this training program? What are the benefits of this plan? Let's continue our discussion. First of all, let's take a look at Qiu Chengtong's training plan for leading talents in mathematical science. It is planned to recruit 100 outstanding middle school students worldwide every year, and adopt the mode of connecting undergraduate and doctoral students. Domestic students who have successfully been shortlisted for the future leading talents in mathematics and related fields can enter the school without the college entrance examination or even junior three students. These words are regarded by many people as a special zone for cultivating top talents, and there is no frame. According to Qiu Chengtong, an internationally renowned mathematician who won the Fields Prize and director of the Mathematical Science Center in Qiu Chengtong, Tsinghua University, this is the core of a plan to attach importance to basic science and cultivate first-class scholars in China. He said that China's science and technology has developed for many years, and it still lags behind others in many aspects. In the final analysis, it ignores the foundation of basic science, knowledge can't be done, and applied science can't be first-class. Mathematics is the foundation of all sciences. Mathematics is the most important thing in any country with the top level of science and technology. What we have to do is to train top mathematicians in China. This is the purpose of this plan. 1949 when new China was founded, it was poor and poor, and the national leaders and ancestors who did everything themselves led the people of the whole country to build a well-off society. More than 70 years have passed, but multiplied by today's China, a new prosperity of a well-off society has emerged on the earth. However, in recent years, many high-tech industries in China have been suppressed by foreign countries, and in some areas, they are already facing the autumn of critical survival. At this moment, we must take measures to solve the problem. According to many phenomena in history and other countries, we have shown that there is no good science and technology without a strong mathematical foundation, and there is an important historical fact. Self-motivated and curious children will grow up quickly if they are taught by mathematicians in a good environment, and will grow up especially quickly if they are not taught by famous teachers since childhood. Today, the level of science and technology in China is really good, but there is still a long way to go to lead the world's scientific development. Qiu Chengtong said, I have only two wishes in my life, one is to be a great mathematician, and the other is to improve the mathematics of the motherland, so that he can lead the world mathematics, and then establish a complete scientific and technological system. These are China's century-old plans. This year's registration is in progress. In a few months, Tsinghua University will announce the final finalist results. Soon, these selected students will receive preparatory training and inspection. So these students are regarded as the top scientists in China in the future? Seeds? What are young people like? Whether they can germinate in a fertile soil and grow into trees that cover the sun, let us wait and see.
