Have you ever dreamed of meeting top scientists in person? If so, what would you like to ask them?

For Tan Fanglin, a 15-year-old girl from No. 2 High School of East China Normal University in Shanghai, her dream of meeting top scientists has already come true.

In October, she attended the World Laureates Forum(世界顶尖科学家论坛) for a second time, which had attracted(吸引) 44 Nobel Prize winners and 21 other world-class prize winners. Tan was by far the youngest among the scientists invited to be at the meeting of the world’s sharpest minds. Her discovery about the relationship between the Fibonacci sequence and Bezout numbers(非波那契数列与贝祖数的估计) has won her many prizes in youth innovation competitions in China.

From a very young age, Tan has always been fascinated by mathematics (maths). It was her father, a mathematics teacher in East China Normal University, who largely inspired(使产生,激发) young Tan Fanglin with the interest in mathematics. But she had not taken part in any Mathematics Olympiad exams before, which she finds will be a waste of time.

According to Xu Jun, Tan’s head teacher from her middle and high school, she doesn’t take after-school classes or too many exercises. Her mastering of Further Mathematics and her good grades in school are thanks to the right study method. Her mother told Guangming Daily that Tan always treats studying and life with a positive mindset so she can feel happy while studying.

Attending this forum enabled Tan to learn more from top scientists. She even got the chance to talk with Gero Miesenbock, the 2019 Warren Alpert Foundation Prize winner and the founder of optogenetics(光遗传学).
