On March 7, 2025, the launch ceremony of the 9th Mathematics Culture Month of the School of Mathematical Sciences of Shenzhen University was successfully held. Wang Yu, Secretary of the Party Committee of the College, the dean, Ye Xing, Deputy secretary of the Party Committee, as well as counselors and student representatives attended the ceremony. The ceremony was presided over by Deputy Secretary Ye Xing.
In his opening speech, the dean emphasized that "mathematics is not only the language for exploring cosmic mysteries but also a wisdom bond transcending time and space." This year's event carries a dual mission: to "enlighten future intellect" through academic activities like frontier lectures on fractal geometry and mathematical modeling workshops, while "walking with intellectual fun" through creative initiatives such as π Day treasure hunts and mathematical love letter writing. With nearly 20 planned activities, the event aims to "bring formulas to life and illuminate reality with wisdom." Mathematics' ultimate significance lies in "pursuing truth through rigorous logic, breaking boundaries with free imagination, and connecting society with warm compassion." May every participant find his or her own mathematical star in this cultural month, let reason and inspiration dance together, and let love and mission walk together. He wished the 9th Mathematics Culture Month a complete success!
Subsequently, the dean made a report on "From the rise of DeepSeek to the inspiration from the phenomenal success of Ne Zha 2." He pointed out that DeepSeek has built a new deep learning architecture through original innovations in basic disciplines such as mathematics, linguistics, and optics, and achieved key technological breakthroughs in fields such as multilanguage processing and computer vision, providing strong support for efficient training of artificial intelligence models. The success of "Ne Zha 2" confirms the effect of our country's independent talent training system. To achieve original innovation, we need to make multi-dimensional efforts, not only to deepen the depth of basic disciplines, but also to promote interdisciplinary integration and innovation such as mathematics, physics and computer. It is necessary to build a scientific research ecology that encourages breakthrough exploration, and it is more necessary for young researchers to continue to fight hard with the determination of sharpening a sword for ten years. Finally, the dean encouraged the students, "There is no standard answer to innovation, but each generation of young people should give their own answer." Only by building a solid foundation in the field of basic research can we write China's answer in the era of artificial intelligence.
In a report titled "Youth Responsibility and Cultural Confidence in the AI Era," Wang Yu, Party Secretary, stressed that the development of AI technology brings both opportunities and challenges for people. Taking DeepSeek R1, a domestic AI model, as an example, she encouraged students to actively embrace AI while preventing thinking inertia that may be caused by over-reliance on technical tools, stressing that "mastering core principles is more important than obtaining answers." At the same time, she highlighted how the film Nezha 2 utilized differential equations and fluid dynamics to achieve an expression of Eastern aesthetics in its production process, illustrating a practical pathway for technology to empower traditional culture. She said that the release of DeepSeek and the success of Nezha 2 have given us the confidence to not only brave the "no man's land" in the core technology, but also draw new coordinates in the dialogue between civilizations. Finally, she reviewed the mathematics ancestors Xiong Qinglai, Hua Luogeng's spirit of serving the country, and called on the students to be brave in the magnificent voyage of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation to be the "wave pursuer", to be the "guardian" of civilization, to be the "answerer" of youth China, and to write down a brilliant chapter belonging to mathematics people in the new era with struggle!
Ye Xing, Deputy Secretary, expects the students to temper their thinking in the symbol exercise, cultivate feelings in the cultural inheritance, climb the peak in the integration of disciplines, and write innovative answers belonging to Liyuan students!
This Cultural Month aims to create a strong academic atmosphere of "studying mathematics, sharing mathematics, and loving mathematics" in an all-round way through diverse activities, and create a characteristic brand that integrates professional knowledge and ideological and political education, and explains the ideological and political lessons well from the perspective of mathematics, so that students can achieve professional quality and ideological realm in the ocean of knowledge.
