During the institutional adjustment in 1952, the most powerful mathematics departments of Tsinghua University and Zhejiang University at that time were axed, and the whole country was built to build Peking University and Fudan. The mathematics majors of other key universities were very small, resulting in the fact that these two schools are now in the

An absolute monopoly in the Chinese mathematics community.

According to statistics, there are currently 24 living academicians in mathematics in China, who can basically be divided into three groups: Peking University, Fudan University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The Peking University gang is led by Zhang Gongqing, and includes Jiang Boju, Wen Lan, Tian Gang, Wang Shichen and others in the school. Ding Weiyue, Liu Yingming and Yang Le from the Institute of Mathematics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences all graduated from Peking University. They have deep connections with the Mathematics Department of Peking University and echo each other. They are basically in the same group; Fudan

Gu Chaohao, Hong Jiaxing, Hu Hesheng, Guo Boling, plus Shi Zhongci who graduated from Fudan University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, there are 5 people in one ***.

Chinese Academy of Sciences: Ding Xiaqi, Li Banghe, Lin Qun, Lu Qikeng, Ma Zhiming, Wan Zhexian, Wang Yuan, Yan Jia'an, Wu Wenjun, Zhou Yulin.

Miscellaneous School: Chen Mufa (Beijing Normal University), Wang Zikun (Beijing Normal University), Peng Shige (Shandong University), Xia Daoxing (USA).

The Chinese Academy of Sciences seems to have a lot of people, but because they graduated from different institutions and calculated against each other during several reforms of the Institute of Mathematics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, they lack trust in each other. Therefore, it is actually a scattered mess. Each has its own agenda during the academician election process, and is often dismissed.

Used by Peking University and Fudan University.

Among them, Wu Wenjun, Zhou Yulin, Wang Yuan and others are old and successful, and basically do not participate in worldly disputes.

Ma Zhiming later joined Peking University, and Lin Qun fell out with everyone over the merger of institutes. The remaining few are older, do not hold a group, and do not control important academic resources.

Xia Daoxing has long been living in seclusion in the United States and is too lazy to come back to participate in the academician election. Excluding senior academicians Wu Wenjun and Zhou Yulin who have been deprived of the right to vote, as well as Xia Daoxing who lives in seclusion overseas, there are only 21 academicians in the Chinese mathematics community who actually have voting rights, among which the Peking University gang accounts for

8, 1/3 strong, and they are all young people. For example, Zhang Gongqing, the former president of the Chinese Mathematical Society, not only made his brother-in-law Wenlan an academician, but also designated Wenlan as his successor, so that he could successfully take office.

He became the current president and led the Peking University gang to control most of China's mathematical resources; Fudan faction Gu Chaohao was very famous, but the skills of several of his subordinates were limited, especially his wife Hu Hesheng who also became an academician, which made many people laugh and added

The school is far away from Beijing and does not have the power to control various mathematics resources. Therefore, although the Fudan school has as many as five people, its influence is far behind that of Peking University.

Needless to say, the Chinese Academy of Sciences was defeated by Peking University and Fudan University, and no one was elected for several terms, which illustrates the problem.

Academician elections are held every two years, and two mathematics academicians are usually elected each time. In recent academician elections, Peking University and Fudan University have basically had the final say.

For example, in 2001, Peking University packaged Tian Gang, who was a professor in the United States, and pretended to be a full-time professor at Peking University to run for academicianship. However, Fudan found out and said that there were many such overseas part-time jobs in Fudan. Peking University relied on its large number of people to intimidate Fudan and threaten

If Fudan obstructed Tian Gang, Peking University would not vote for Fudan's candidate. Fudan saw that instead of fighting to the death, it would be better for both schools to gain some benefits, so the two schools compromised with each other. In the end, Peking University's Tian Gang and Fudan's Guo Boling were both elected.

.

Tian Gang has also become the first and only overseas academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences who has not returned to China full-time since its establishment. His record has not been broken yet.

Although Peking University later used the academician charter to defend Tian Gang's election, the detailed rules for additional academician selection clearly stipulate that overseas scholars who want to become official academicians must focus on their contribution to the country. It is based on this consideration that part-time academicians are

As a rule, scholars who have returned to China cannot participate in formal academician elections, but can only participate in the symbolic election of foreign academicians.

(After Peking University tasted the sweetness of Tian Gang, it processed his experience in accordance with the law. In 2003 and 2005, it twice recommended She Zhensu, who returned to China part-time, to run for academicianship. However, Peking University is not as dominant in the physics world as it is in the mathematics world, so these two

None of them succeeded.) In 2003, the Mathematics Department of Peking University nominated two candidates. Among them, Zhang Jiping was very popular. Because Peking University had more votes, both of them entered the third round. This time, Fudan also sent a candidate.

Hong Jiaxing was engaged in partial differential equations. Nankai, with the support of Mr. Chen Shengshen, sent a heavyweight Zhang Weiping. This person won the second prize of the National Natural Science Award and was the best scholar among young and middle-aged mathematicians in the country. The quality of his papers was second to none in the country.

I had a background of graduating from Fudan University, so I was determined to win at first. Unexpectedly, Peking University took advantage of the large number of votes and publicly announced that only one person from Fudan University could be admitted.

After giving up his support for Zhang Weiping, Mr. Chen was very angry when he learned the news. He was only a foreign academician with no voting rights. Although he did not have the ability to make someone an academician, he enjoyed high prestige, which prevented someone from becoming an academician.

The influence is still there, so the result of Zhang Weiping and Zhang Jiping's PK was that neither of them achieved success. Instead, Chen Mufa, who was engaged in probability theory at Beijing Normal University, made a mistake. There have been no graduates in the field of probability theory for many years, so this result is everyone's

I had no choice but to admit it.
