On June 1 day, the official WeChat "Zhejiang University" announced that Liu Yifeng, a full professor at Yale University, had joined the research of advanced mathematics in Zhejiang University. In the year before joining, Liu Yifeng had become a visiting scholar here.

Liu Yifeng was born in 1985. His research interests are number theory, automorphism forms and algebraic geometry. In 20 17, he won Sloan Research Award, and in 20 18, he won Sastra Lamanukin Award.

Sloan Research Award was established in 1955 and awarded once a year. The award aims to support and reward outstanding scientists and scholars at the early stage of their careers. The Sastra Ramanukin Prize was established in 2005 in memory of mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan, and is awarded to young mathematicians who have made outstanding contributions in the field of mathematics every year.

According to public information, Liu Yifeng studied in the School of Mathematical Sciences of the University from 2003 to 2007 and obtained a bachelor's degree. 20 12 received a doctorate from Columbia university.

It is worth mentioning that Wei Dongyi, an assistant professor at the College of Mathematical Sciences of the University, is also from the College of Mathematical Sciences of the University (20 10 undergraduate).

According to the University News 20 19, students who entered the Department of Mathematics of Peking University around 2000 are called the "golden generation" of the Department of Mathematics of Peking University because of their good achievements in the field of mathematics, including Liu Ruochuan and Xu Chenyang who entered the school in199, and Li Chi, Yuan Xinyi, Yun Zhiwei, Zhang Wei and Zhu Xinwen who entered the school in 2000.

In recent years, the names of the "golden generation" have frequently appeared in the public's field of vision, and their good news has been spread frequently and their achievements have been remarkable. Except for four of them who won the New Horizon Award for scientific breakthrough in the field of mathematics, they have successively won many heavyweight awards such as Ramanukin Award, Sloan Research Award, Centennial Award of American Mathematical Society, Qiushi Outstanding Young Scholar Award, Cray Research Award, Future Science Award, etc. At the 20 18 Mathematicians Conference (ICM20 18), among the alumni and teachers of Peking University who invited eight speakers, Xu Chenyang, Zhang Wei and Yun Zhiwei were among them.

According to the report, these young outstanding alumni with active thoughts and innovative spirit have grown into the mainstay on all fronts. At the same time, they often return to their alma mater and actively participate in the discipline construction and personnel training of mathematics in Peking University in different ways. On June 20 19, five alumni, including Sun Xin, Wang, Yun Zhiwei and Zhu Xinwen, returned to their alma mater to participate in the "20 19 Young Mathematicians" held by the school. They introduced their latest work progress in academic reports and talked with their younger brothers and sisters at the symposium.

The report pointed out that it is rare for so many first-class mathematicians from a university to appear at the same time in the same era. However, we can get a glimpse of the efforts made by Peking University Mathematics in gathering and cultivating talents in the past hundred years. Mathematics in Peking University was established 100 years ago, with a total of nearly 10,000 graduates. The selection and cultivation of outstanding students has always been the focus of mathematics in Peking University. After years of exploration and innovation, Peking University Mathematics has formed a set of effective innovative systems and mechanisms in talent selection and training. Summer Science Camp, Golden Autumn Camp, "Mathematics Talents Class", 3+X Plan, and the training plan for top-notch talents in basic mathematics and applied mathematics have played an important role in discovering and cultivating outstanding mathematics seedlings and stimulating students' interest in learning and research.

The above is related to the fate of the sheep boy in 2003, and it is about the sharing of mathematics. After reading the clothes worn by the shepherd boy in 2003, I hope this will help everyone!
