📢 🧠 You don’t have to be at a major university or a well-known research lab to make your mark in mathematics… and the first Justin Sun Prize proves that powerful ideas can come from anywhere 🔥
🏆 The first group of winners was recognized for contributions related to 6 Erdős problems—challenging mathematical questions that had remained under study for many years.
What stands out is that the winners come from different backgrounds:
🔹Wouter van Doorn — independent researcher
🔹Quanyu Tang — PhD student in mathematics
🔹Yanyang Li — researcher at Southeast University
🔢 What they have in common isn’t their university or job title, but their genuine contributions to solving complex mathematical problems.
💡 Having an independent researcher among the winners is especially meaningful, because it shows that outstanding research doesn’t have to be tied to a major academic institution. If you have a strong idea and do the real work, your contribution can reach others and earn the recognition it deserves.
🎓 The same message applies to researchers just starting out. Having a PhD student among the first winners shows that impact isn’t determined by years of experience or by reaching a particular stage in an academic career.
🌟 Ultimately, the Justin Sun Prize doesn’t just recognize people for mathematical achievements—it highlights a bigger idea: an independent researcher, a student, or a university researcher… each has a different path, but the outcome is the same when there’s a difficult question, a strong idea, and the determination to find a solution 🧠🏆
