As the saying goes, "the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves before". In today's era of enjoying cultural information, there are many talented people, such as 16-year-old "talented woman in poetry" Wu Yishu, who beat many talented women in CCTV's "Chinese Poetry Conference" program and stood out to win the championship of Chinese Poetry Conference, and then won the championship with 665438+. Another example is "young scientist" Tan Fanglin. 15 years old, won the first prize and the chairman award in the 33rd Shanghai Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition.
They are all synonymous with "genius", "other people's children" and "young and promising". Tan Fanglin, one of these two geniuses, came into people's sight on 20 19 because she attended the world's top scientists' conference.

Tan Fanglin was born in a Kochi family. Her parents are teachers of East China Normal University, and her father is a math teacher. Influenced by her father, Tan Fanglin is also very interested in mathematics, and her parents also intend to guide her to develop in this respect. When I was in primary school, I often took part in cram schools for various math competitions, but I didn't take part in the competitions. Fang Lin said in a later interview:
"I mainly studied knowledge and didn't take part in the math contest, because it would take a lot of time to brush the questions during the contest."
After entering junior high school, Tan Fanglin found that her interest in mathematics did not decrease because she entered junior high school. She was more interested in the direction of number theory. When she doesn't understand, she always asks her father, who is a math teacher. Although her father is a math teacher, there are many aspects of mathematics, and he is not good at number theory, so he helped her contact a math teacher who studied number theory in East China Normal University and asked him to teach Fang Lin number theory. Fang Lin also talked about this in a later interview:
"My father is not in this research direction, so he helped me contact a math professor who studies number theory in East China Normal University."
Tan Fanglin has been doing research with this professor since the summer vacation of senior one. Tan Fanglin also cherishes this opportunity. Under the guidance of the professor, Tan Fanglin's mathematical ability has advanced by leaps and bounds. /kloc-at the age of 0/3, she was able to read articles in the American Mathematical Monthly by herself.

Subsequently, under the influence of American Mathematical Monthly, Tan Fanglin began to study her own topic-"Estimation of Fibonacci Number Series and Bezu Number", which originated from a rough estimation formula given by Canadian mathematician Professor Rankin in American Mathematical Monthly 20 13. In the first month of the research, Tan Fanglin made no progress and felt discouraged, but with the comfort of her family and mentor, she readjusted her mind and plunged into the research again.
Thanks to Tan Fanglin's unremitting efforts, she finally completed her own project and won the first prize and the chairman's prize in the 33rd Shanghai Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition.
After that, Tan Fanglin did not relax, but continued his own research. After half a year, he solved the problem of estimating the best upper and lower bounds of Bezu number. Professor Rankin, a Canadian mathematician who inspired Tan Fanglin, also offered to visit Tan Fanglin after learning of his achievements:
"I have studied this problem hard for five years, but I still don't want to understand. It was actually solved by a China person, still a little girl. I want to see what this little guy's head looks like, which is different from other children's. "

It is precisely because of these achievements that Tan Fanglin, as a member of the "Talents Program for Middle School Students", was invited to attend the "Second World Top Scientists Conference" held in Shanghai on 20 19129, bringing together 65 winners of the world's top scientific awards such as Nobel Prize, Wolf Prize and Turing Prize, and invited many others. Most of these people were born after 00, between 200 1 and 2004. Tan Fanglin is the youngest of these people and is called "the youngest scientist".
After the news came out, many media were prepared to interview this talented girl, including many well-known media, such as CCTV new media live broadcast. But speaking of Fang Lin and her family refused. When talking about Fang Lin's thoughts, she neither makes stars nor idolizes, but only pursues scientific superstars.
