Amidst the warm applause, a young man stood up.
Qin Luo paused, turned to look at the young man and smiled: "Please speak."
"I am a professor in the Department of Mathematics at Rhein University, David, I have a question for Professor Qin." The young man said: "Take me as an example. I am a professor in the Department of Mathematics. Most of the problems I study are obscure mathematical problems. How can they not be understood by ordinary people, even some masters, some doctors do not understand."
"How do they apply to society."
As soon as these words came out of the entire auditorium, more than half of his eyes fell on Qin Luo.
Yes, how does mathematics apply to society!
This is not only David's problem, but also their concern.
Although Qin Luo pointed out a brand new path for them, this path was blocked by a big rock.
That is the obscurity of mathematics! Another point is that almost any academic achievement today has no direct relationship with mathematics.
Mathematics is just a tool.
How to use it?
Hearing David's words, Qin Luo smiled slightly and said: "Before answering this question, I want to ask you a question first."
"Professor please say."
"Do you know Rockets?" Qin Luo asked.
"Of course." Everyone nodded: "But what does that have to do with mathematics?"
"Everyone knows that it is the result of physics research."
Yes, the rocket uses more physics and has nothing to do with mathematics.
"Yes, it is indeed the result of physics research, but have you ever thought about whether physics can have the current development without mathematics as a basis? Data calculation and orbit calibration, which one does not require the intervention of mathematics?" Qin Luo's eyes swept over everyone, and he said loudly: "Mathematics is the foundation of natural sciences. Without the emergence of mathematics, the world would not be as prosperous as it is now!"
"Mathematics is the father of science. Without the accumulation of mathematics, no other science will be born!"
"Papa Papa!"
The thunderous applause sounded again, and it was getting louder and louder, and there was a tendency to lift the roof.
"Professor David, what do you think of my answer?" Qin Luo smiled and looked at David with a smile.
"Thank you, Professor, I think I know what I should do."
Mathematics is the father of science, and he is deeply honored to be able to study mathematics.
"Do you have any questions? If you can answer, I will definitely answer." Qin Luo smiled.
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.
Qin Luo has explained the most critical issue, that's enough.
As time passed, the award ceremony of the Cole Prize in Mathematics continued.
After Qin Luo, the award candidates took the stage one after another to give their final speeches.
Soon it was Peter Schultz from the University of Bonn.
However, to everyone's surprise, Schultz didn't even mean to give a speech at all.
"Professor Schultz? Professor Schultz?" Taylor prompted with a smile.
"Sorry, Dean Taylor, I don't think I need to give a speech. I think Professor Qin Luo's achievements are enough to win the Cole Prize..." Schultz shook his head and declined.
Whether it was Qin Luo's achievements or the remarks just now, he was worthy of the honor of the Cole Award.
"This..." Tyler's mouth twitched slightly, she didn't expect this to happen at all.
"Professor Schultz, why don't you just say something?"
However, Schultz still shook his head.
