2024年7月6日上午,在澳大利亚悉尼举行的第15届国际数学教育大会(ICME-15)上,理学院数学系冷岗松教授获颁2020年度天下数学竞赛同盟(WFNMC)保罗?厄尔多斯奖(Paul Erd?s Award)。颁奖仪式原定于2021年7月在华东师范大学主理的第14届国际数学教育大会(ICME-14)时代举行,但因故推迟,于2024年7月在悉尼召开的ICME-15时代举行。
天下数学竞赛同盟(WFNMC)是国际数学教育委员会(ICMI)下的研究机构,建设于1984年,致力于推广数学竞赛和相关运动,以富厚学生的数学学习体验。其揭晓的保罗?厄尔多斯奖(Paul Erd?s Award)以著名数学家Paul Erd?s (1913-1996) 命名。
Paul Erd?s曾获数学界最高奖沃尔夫奖(Wolf Prize) (1983-1984),美国数学会的科尔数论奖(AMS Cole Prize)。数论中著名的Erd?s number以Paul Erd?s命名。Paul Erd?s照旧一位优异的数学教育家,他以为数学竞赛对发明和作育数学人才起着主要的作用,他不但是数学竞赛的热心组织者,有时甚至作为“选手”和中学生一起加入解题运动。
Paul Erd?s奖的设立是为了表扬那些在国家或国际层面的数学挑战生长中施展了主要作用、以及对数学教育有极大推动的数学家。(The Paul Erd?s Award is established to recognise contributions of mathematicians who have played a significant role in the development of mathematical challenges at the national or international level and which have been a stimulus for the enrichment of mathematics learning. )自1992年以来,保罗?厄尔多斯奖每两年揭晓一次,每次最多奖励三人。到现在为止,中国大陆共有3人荣获此奖。第一位是中国老一辈数学家、奥林匹克数学竞赛的泰斗级人物、中科院数学所研究员裘宗沪先生(1994年获奖);第二位是我国著名数学教育家、华东师范大学熊斌教授(2018年获奖)。
冷岗松教授的颁奖词(附中文翻译):
For the past 20 years, Prof. Leng has been a member of the China Mathematical Olympiad (CMO) Main Examination Committee, the coach of the China Mathematical Olympiad National Training Team, and the Director of the Western China Mathematical Olympiad (CWMO) Main Examination Committee.
In 2007, he served as the team leader of the Chinese Mathematical Olympiad National Team; in 2006 and 2009, he served as the deputy team leader of the Chinese Mathematical Olympiad National Team. During this period, Prof. Leng provided many test questions for the Chinese Mathematics Competition, won the Best Proposition Award named of "Nine-Chapters Mathematics" twice, and was one of the main coaches of the Chinese Mathematics Olympiad National Team.
He published more than 20 papers on mathematics competitions and their propositional research, and also has successively published 6 books on mathematics competitions in Tsinghua University Press, East China Normal University Press and World Scientific Publishing Company.
Together with Prof. Qiu Zonghu and Prof. Xiong Bin, Prof. Leng actively guide and train young math competition coaches in China. For ten consecutive years, he has made a conference report for the National Mathematics Competition Proposition Seminar, and served as a tutor for the senior coaches training class of the National Middle School Mathematics and Mathematics Competition for two consecutive years.
Since 2013, Prof. Leng has founded Mathematical New-Star Network (www.nsmath.cn) to advocate “research-based” learning. So far, more than 150 challenging problems and more than 300 papers have been published, including more than 100 student written papers. Most of these students are winners of domestic and foreign mathematics competitions. These articles have been organized into a series of books "The Problems and Insights in Mathematics Competition", divided into three volumes, published in East China Normal University Press.
在已往的20年间,冷岗松教授恒久担当中国数学奥林匹克(CMO)主试委员会委员,国际数学奥林匹克(IMO)中国国家集训队教练,中国西部数学奥林匹克(CWMO)主试委员会主任。2007年,任IMO中国国家队领队;2006年和2009年,任IMO中国国家队副领队。在此时代,冷岗松为中国数学竞赛提供了许多试题,两次获得“九章数学”的最佳命题奖,是IMO中国国家队的主要教练之一。揭晓有关数学竞赛及其命题研究的论文20多篇。先后在清华大学出书社、华东师范大学出书社和新加坡天下科技(World Scientific)出书公司出书数学竞赛著作6本。
冷岗松教授同裘宗沪教授和熊斌教授一起,起劲指导和作育海内年轻的数学竞赛教练。一连十年为天下数学竞赛命题事情钻研会做大会报告,一连两届担当天下中学数学竞赛高级教练员研修班导师。
