As a big educational country, how can we miss the World Olympics? In the atmosphere of people's enthusiastic pursuit of Olympic Mathematics, China has made great achievements in the international mathematical olympiad. From 1985 to 20 18, China won 5 16 Olympic medals, including 204 gold medals, 79 silver medals, and 33 bronze medals.
During the 35 years of participating in the World Olympic Games, China won 59% of the Olympic champion, and what brilliant achievements it has made. Can it be said that China is very good at mathematics, which is brilliant internationally, but why are there so few Fields Prizes and Nobel Prizes? Why is this?
By the end of 20 18, 60 mathematicians around the world had won the Fields Prize, including 2 mathematicians from China. Qiu Chengtong, who won the prize in 1982, was an American, and Tao Zhexuan, who won the prize in 2006, was an Australian. None of them had any education experience in China. People suddenly realized that after winning so many Olympic gold medals, China never had a master of mathematics. Known as? Nobel Prize in Mathematics? Fields Prize, so far there is no winner from China.
Although the Olympiad is for teenagers and the Fields Medal is for adults, where did those teenagers who once shined in the Olympiad go when they grew up? How many people are missing? How many continue to fight for the cause of mathematics for life? How many Olympic gold medalists have become depressed?
Looking around the world, which country once regarded Olympic mathematics as compulsory education for all? What is the significance of the Olympic gold medal from the initial interest to the final disgust, from the natural good learning to the mechanical brushing?
When families, schools, and society are constantly because? Olympiad? Let some students enjoy all kinds of privileges, but let them lose another extremely important aspect in the study of growth education: humanities education. Olympic Mathematics is obviously a minority thing, but it has become a carnival and even a burden for the public in China.
Qiu Chengtong, a mathematician from China who won the Fields Medal, rudely attacked: Participating in the Olympic Games will never become a great mathematical country. Mathematics is actually doing research, while Olympiad is just doing problems.
This does not mean that scholars who have not won the Fields Prize and the Nobel Prize are not good scholars. It is necessary to know that scholars in the real sense, scholars who are famous at home and abroad in the real sense, should correctly treat top-notch sex education, otherwise everyone will lose.
