Chapter 842 Which academic department is the academician of?
Once he accepted the setting given by Chang Haonan, Yuan Xiangya could no longer contain his thoughts.
In fact, his own research direction is more towards applied mathematics. It just proves that the big news of Poincaré Conjecture still belongs to the category of theoretical mathematics at least for now, so his previous thinking has been limited to this area.
Thinking about it now, multi-scientific fields are indeed more promising.
In particular, the country is gradually increasing its investment in the fields of ocean, aerospace, geology, aviation, etc., and while these investments are transformed into physical products such as submarines, rockets, satellites, and aircraft, they will also inevitably become excellent in the field of natural sciences in the narrow sense. Test Platform.
I don't dare to say how many earth-shattering results can be produced that will change the times, but it will certainly be no problem to meet the “mid- or upper-middle SCI” mentioned by Chang Haonan just now.
And it is definitely not the kind of article that “changes the matrix of polymer materials”.
That is all to be published anyway. Instead of taking advantage of others, it is better to take advantage of being close to the water and keep at least part of it in the country.
Thinking of this, Yuan Xiangya hurriedly requested:
“Professor Chang, since we have already talked about it, why don't you just think of a name for this new journal?”
In fact, what he first thought about was to ask Chang Haonan to write an inscription.
But considering that firstly, the words written by the other party's science and engineering professor may not be good-looking, and the title will not reflect well on both sides. Secondly, since it is a journal for the world, the title must at least have an English version and an inscription. It's even more unnecessary…
So when it came time to say it, it was changed to naming.
"name…"
This completely unexpected request really made Chang Haonan a little confused for a moment.
If you use that concise style, it will be almost difficult to surpass the two mountains of "Science" and "Nature".
It does not refer to academic value, but to naming.
The main reason is that apart from these two words, it is difficult for the remaining words to have an all-encompassing effect.
If you call it "Earth", it sounds like a geographical science magazine.
It's called "Universe", and it sounds like it's about astronomy.
It can't be called "Tao".
So I had to change my mind...
“By the way, I remember our Chinese Academy of Sciences doesn't have a journal yet, right?”
Chang Haonan asked.
Yuan Xiangya understood what he meant instantly:
“No, there is only one Journal of the Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which is published biannually. It is not limited to any field at all, and its influence is not very great.”
There is no restriction on fields at all, which means that you can apply for liberal arts and sciences.
This is due to historical reasons.
The Chinese Academy of Sciences was originally an all-encompassing institution.
Even once assumed the functions of the National Science and Technology Commission.
The Chinese Academy of Social Sciences was originally the “Department of Philosophy and Social Sciences” of the Academy of Sciences.
Although it became independent as early as the late 1970s, it still maintained inextricable ties until the 1980s and 1990s.
“So, it's better to just take over the name and call it Journal of Chinese Academy of Sciences, JCAS.”
This name sounds a bit like JACS, but there's nothing I can do about it.
The words "journal, science, and academy" go back and forth in just a few combinations.
Fortunately, although JACS is already considered a top journal today, it is not as well-known and almost all-inclusive as it was more than 20 years ago.
So there should be no suspicion of being too popular.
"Um…"
On the other end of the phone, Yuan Xiangya looked at the phone in hands-free mode, holding his chin with one hand and tapping the table rhythmically with the other hand.
The name itself is not a problem.
But the key point is that no matter what the journal is called, the name of the editor-in-chief must be Chang Haonan.
And "Journal of the Chinese Academy of Sciences" is such a naked name.
The editor-in-chief is not from the Chinese Academy of Sciences...
Seems a bit outrageous.
Even if I change my name, I won't have the feeling of being NTR.
He pressed the mute button and looked at Academician Yang Jue, the dean of the Institute of Mathematics and Systems Science, who was sitting on the sofa on the other side of the office.
“What do you think of this name…”
The latter obviously knew what Yuan Xiangya was thinking, and immediately waved his hand:
"It's okay. Now several departments are almost fighting in the field of disciplines who are always attributed to Professor. Looking at this posture, I estimate that up to two or three years, he will become our people ..." "Just get on the bus first and then Supplementary votes…”
Although Yang Jue's idea of publishing a pure mathematics journal was rejected by Chang Haonan, his most fundamental purpose was achieved.
Furthermore…
Science can change the world.
Mathematics can change the world by changing science.
As long as the definition is flexible enough, I can also be a member of the natural sciences...
Yuan Xiangya pressed the mute button again:
“Professor Chang, we support your suggestion in principle. Of course, the final result must be decided by the Academy of Sciences...”
After another polite conversation, this time Chang Haonan took the initiative to end the call.
“Academician Yang, so many academic departments are competing, don't you have any plans to follow suit?”
Yuan Xiangya raised his head again:
“After all, although Professor Chang has made many achievements and covered a wide range of topics, it is this time that he has been able to publish a special book.”
“Furthermore, the International Congress of Mathematicians will be held again the year after next. Our capital city has been among the candidates for the venue. After this incident, it is basically a certainty. I am afraid that the Philippine Prize will also..."
He did not put his words too directly.
But it's enough.
The International Congress of Mathematicians is held in rotating locations in major cities around the world.
Perelman's city, Moscow, had already opened it in 1966 and will not be included in the candidates.
In this way, Beijing clearly has huge advantages over its other three competitors—Madrid, Bangalore and Seoul.
On the other hand, Chang Haonan and Perelman's Philippine Awards are almost undisputed.
There are still two years from now to 2002, and the time buffer is sufficient.
so…
There is a high probability that the Fields Medal will be awarded to a local Chinese scholar at the first international conference of mathematicians held on Chinese soil.
This is definitely an explosion of influence.
It is also a huge benefit to the Department of Mathematical Physics—
Fields Medal.
Have it stamped?
“Professor Yuan, you have to think about this carefully.”
Yang Jue did not immediately answer Yuan Xiangya's question, but looked at the latter with a half-smiling expression:
“No matter which department Professor Chang enters, he will definitely jump in.”
“So if he comes over, then you have to stand in a row further back...”
In recent years, Yuan Xiangya has put a lot of effort into the matter of becoming an academician.
Whether academically or socially.
For this reason, I also had some conflicts with several candidates with similar conditions.
Although everyone won't say this explicitly, they definitely see it.
What's more, as the dean, Yang Jue.
Suddenly asked such a straightforward question, Yuan Xiangya didn't know how to answer it for a while.
After about half a minute, I finally organized my words:
“I'm only 40 this year, so it's still...”
He originally wanted to say that he was still young and could afford to wait, no less than three to five years.
But when I thought about it, it seemed that Chang Haonan was even more outrageous. Even if calculated according to 2003, he was only 28...
So I had to skip this paragraph:
“In any case, if Professor Chang can come to our department, it will be a great thing for everyone in the Chinese mathematics community, including me and those few people.”
“I can still clearly distinguish the stakes.”
