>Yu Deng is a mathematician from Shenzhen, China>his mathematic breakthroughs include Hilbert's Sixth Problem, The Boltzmann Equation, the Wave Kinetic Equation, amongst other problems>he was awarded the Leonard Eisenbud Prize for Mathematics and Physics by the American Mathematical Society, the Oberwolfach Prize, and the Clay Research Award in the last couple of years>he is the front runner for the 2026 Fields Medal>he is currently a professor at the University of Chicago. a position held since 2024The Fields Medal winner will be announced in aa week from now.Thoughts?

>>17016873Doesn't seem to be on an english dating profile, meanwhile, I'm not able to even upload videos or get blue checkmarks
>>17016873would this count as a Chinese fields medal or an American one?
>>17016908Depends on his citizenship.>>17016873Fun fact about about: He finished 6th place in the Math Olympiad. The guy who finished 1st place was his countryman, and he famously turned down a free ride from MIT, and left the secular life to become a monk.
>>17016873What's the point of striving to become the best scientist/mathematician when ultimately you're still a massive loser no one wants to be around?
>>17017079Would you rather be a massive loser who's a great mathematician or a massive loser?
>>17017135What's the difference?Also former sounds like a lot of effort.
>>17017145A massive loser who's a great mathematician did the most they could with their crappy existence. A massive loser laid down limply and waited to die.
>>17017170>sacrifice your life into furthering the human race* >get nothing but loneliness, pain and suffering in returnSounds like being a massive cuck.*dubious in that case since you're a mathematician, not a scientist and most of math is already done anyway, and the one that isn't is mostly done by computer scientists now, not pure mathematicians
>>17017183Abstract math has little direct consequence on the real world or furthering the human race. Mathematicians don't care about making the world a better place. They care about studying the most mysterious thing in existence, something that was part of a cult and mysticism just 2500 years, starting with Pythagoras.Every generation has always said math is almost complete and there's nothing left to do, and along comes a genius who starts a new mathematical field no one ever expected.Do you really think humans have exhausted the infinite abyss of mathematics?
