Doi chinezi au câștigat în premieră "Nobelul" matematicii. Problemele rezolvate i-au nedumerit pe matematicieni timp de un secol

Two Chinese mathematicians, Hong Wang and Yu Deng, have won the prestigious Fields Medal for the first time, alongside two other researchers from the US and Canada. They were recognized for solving century-old mathematical problems. Wang, at 35, is the third woman to receive this honor. The awards were presented in the US amid growing challenges posed by artificial intelligence. Their achievements have sparked significant attention on Chinese social media, with many expressing national pride. Wang and her colleague addressed a question posed in 1917 about the minimal surface covered by a rotating pencil, while Deng was honored for his work on Hilbert's sixth problem regarding particle movement.
