In the face of various questions from the public, he gave more formal and noble answers, but he always gave people a feeling of diplomatic rhetoric and evasiveness. The netizen didn't agree, just silently shook his head. Xu Chenyang also said two reasons. First, MIT is the top institution in the world. As a discipline, mathematics should not only immerse itself in research, but also communicate with international counterparts. I hope to get some inspiration and reference from it. Secondly, no matter where I am, the work I do will be considered by others as the work of a China person. ?
What does Xu Chenyang claim to be? Typical mathematician? He doesn't use software, just pen and paper, chalk and blackboard. When you pass his office, you may only see him pacing up and down, lost in thought. Going across the campus to buy a cup of coffee, or walking from the apartment to the office, are all essential parts of his thinking process. Xu Chenyang, who recently won a tenured professorship in the Department of Mathematics at MIT, said? The way I think about mathematics is to generate many images in my mind. If I need a clearer image, I might draw something and do some calculations. When I walk, I think of these images. ? Such a walk sometimes takes him to a colleague's office. ? There are so many excellent minds here that I often communicate with my colleagues in the department.
Xu Chenyang has made outstanding contributions in the field of algebraic geometry, especially in the field of birational geometry. At the same time, he also made important contributions to the development of algebraic geometry in China? [9]? . (Ramanukin Prize Selection Committee)
Xu Chenyang developed considerable theory and breakthrough technology, and solved a series of important geometric problems in many different fields of algebraic geometry, which was highly praised by international peers and made great contributions to the development of algebraic geometry in China.
