Reveal the global mathematics competition: set the milk card to change the new year red envelope to become a test question

The Yangtze River Daily Da Wuhan Client September 26 (Reporter Zhang Yan) Alibaba Global Mathematics Competition (referred to as "Seyo") is a public welfare competition co -organized by the China Science and Technology Association and co -organized by Alibaba Public Welfare United Dharma Institute. Sign up to zero threshold, the game is pure online. It has been held for four sessions since 2018, and has attracted about 200,000 people to participate. Players have covered more than 70 countries and regions. Dozens of winners (4 gold awards, 6 silver awards, 10 bronze awards and several excellent awards for each competition), many of the most potential mathematics talents in the world have participated in this event, such as Wei Dongyi (First Gold Award), Wang Dongzhang (two consecutive gold prizes), Lu Weixiao, Chen Zekun, Rao Zhenghao, Yao Yuan, Zhang Shengtong, Qu Xiaoyu, Nie Zipei, Tang Longkai, Deng Mingyang, etc.

2022 Alibaba Global Mathematics Competition, attracted more than 55,000 people to register for the competition, the most in the past years; about 1%of the players broke into the finals, and the "post -00s" exceeded 40%; the final award -winning 77 people, exceeding 50%of the "post -00s" The new generation of mathematics has risen strongly. For the first time this year, the Sai Sai was requested to the whole society. For the first time, the young mathematicians, including the Fields Award winner, lived to the public live "Mathematics forum". The total bonus also increased from RMB 1 million to more than 4 million yuan. And the winners of the outstanding prizes will receive 40,000, 20,000, 10,000 and 5,000 US dollars, which can better support this group of young mathematicians for master's and doctoral studies and scientific research.

This year's Golden Awards have produced 4 new faces. The gold award winner Lu Weixiao, graduated from Peking University undergraduate, is currently studying a doctorate in MIT and won the Gold Award for the first time this year.

He said that mathematics has a deep and heavy beauty, and he is deeply attracted by this, hoping to be accompanied by mathematics. Another gold award winner Yao Yuan, teamed up with the silver prize winner, Zhang Shengtong, solved a problem that plagued the mathematics industry for decades during the undergraduate stage. superior.

The smallest contestant is only 14 years old

Compared with general events, Alibaba Global Mathematics Competition does not have a threshold, as long as you like mathematics, you can register.

For those who have previously registered, there are 14 -year -old junior high school students, 83 -year -olds, including civil servants, urban management personnel, Chinese teachers, programmers, steel mill workers, seafarers, medical workers, and other professional groups. I have participated.

The competition is divided into two rounds of preliminaries and finals. The preliminary competition focuses on examining mathematical thinking, encouraging enthusiasts to participate more, interesting and very life -like, such as the ramen master in the dining room, such as how to maintain a safe distance during the viewing room during the epidemic, study social software from social software What kind of mathematical laws are there, and the way is interesting; the finals are divided into five major tracks: algebra and theory, geometry and topology, analysis and equations, applications and computing mathematics, combination and probability, and pay more attention to inspecting the knowledge reserves and professional capabilities of players.

Getting milk card for New Year's red envelope to become exam questions

After nearly 10 months, the number of participants has the largest number of participants.

On January 7, the 2022 Alibaba Global Mathematics Competition was launched, and for the first time for social consumption; on March 14, the registration was opened in the Overburning Day Contest, ushered in more than 50,000 people to register; on April 23, the 72 -hour online online The preliminaries start; on June 18, the finals of the 8 -hour answer began, and 715 people in the world competed; from August 19th to 29th, the Xixi Mathematics Forum was held, including 6 young mathematicians including the Phils Prize winner Alessio Figalli Let's talk about online for the whole people to bring you the latest and most cutting -edge mathematical research sharing; on September 26, the 77 -member award list was announced online.

Among the 77 winners, 23 Peking University, 11 MIT, 5 in Tsinghua University, 4 people in Nanjing University, 4 students from Stanford University, 3 students from Princeton University, and 2 in Shanghai Middle School. Among the award -winning players this year, the youngest 16 years old, the "post -00s" players accounted for more than 50 %, becoming a veritable mathematics new generation.

The reporter understands that this year's competition has added a new global section. In January of this year, Alibaba Global Mathematics Competition collected mathematics questions from the whole society. As of the end of February, a total of 145 popular questions were received. After the professional proposition group was screened, modified, tested, verified, and polished one by one, there were 2 questions in the public competition to enter the finals and 2 questions to enter the final.

One of the "How to gather milk cards for new year red envelopes" is successfully selected for the preliminaries. The knowledge points of the assessment are mathematical expectations, and the conceptual transformation of probability theory and statistics. Gu Chenlin, a questioner, said that the topic was inspired by the childhood memory of many people: eating the noodles, collecting the heroic card of the Water Margin. When he was a child, he also had a lot of noodles for setting cards. Now he hopes to use mathematical knowledge to rationally analyze the mystery of the issue of set cards with mathematical knowledge.

The total prize money this year has increased from 1 million yuan in previous years to nearly 4 million yuan, including 4 gold awards (40,000 US dollars/person), 6 silver awards (20,000 US dollars/person), 10 bronze prizes (10,000 10,000 USD/person), 57 Excellent Awards ($ 5,000/person). The prizes of gold awards, silver awards, and bronze awards have doubled.

These mathematics masters appear in Ayai

The four -time Alibaba Global Mathematics Competition has attracted about 200,000 mathematical enthusiasts from all over the world to participate, and it has also tapped many young mathematics with mathematics.

Wei Dongyi, who was born in the first Golden Award and youth mathematician, was born in 1991. On the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes regularity, the issue of the linear damping of the two-dimensional non-compressed Euler equations. A series of important research progress has been made. He also cooperated with people to achieve significant results in random matrix theory research. As of December 2019, Wei Dongyi has published more than a dozen papers in the International Mathematical Period. His doctoral dissertation "Axial Symmetrical Navier-Stekes equation and non-adhesive damping" has been rated as an excellent doctoral dissertation in Peking University in 2018.

Wei Dongyi won the Olympic gold medal for two consecutive years, and won the gold medal of the first Alibaba Global Mathematics Competition, and the 2021 Dharma Green Orange Award.

16 -year -old math teenager Qu Xiaoyu, the youngest winner

Qu Xiaoyu, born in 2006, won the 2022 Alibaba Global Mathematics Competition Outstanding Award. He just entered Peking University from High School in Chongqing Bashu Middle School and continued the study of mathematics. Qu Xiaoyu won the 2022 International Mathematical Olympic IMO gold medal. He said that he likes mathematics very much. "There is nothing to do, that is, I think mathematics is beautiful." In addition to mathematics, he also likes the piano. The favorite musician is Bach. During the training of Beijing for Olympics, Qu Xiaoyu's only requirement was a piano in the room, and playing the piano every day can make him better relaxed.

His teacher and representative of the "Golden Generation", Xiao Liang, commented that in addition to having mathematics skills, Qu Xiaoyu also taught herself to learn higher mathematics and other knowledge, and has a mathematical vision beyond his peers. He hoped that the young man would continue to work hard to continue to explore the math world.
