From top stream to scholar

"What kind of math problem does it have to stump even a boss like you." It was hard for Xiao Chengzhi to imagine what kind of math problem stumped even the champion of the national math competition.

"How should I put it..." Yu Wanzhou pondered for a while, "It's a very difficult topic. Anyway, the difficulty factor is quite high. I can't do it now, and I don't know when I can do it. Said Maybe, when you graduate, I haven't finished writing this graduation thesis yet."

Wu Xu sneered and said, "Boss, let's stop joking, shall we? We graduated, but you still can't graduate? Is there such a good thing?"

"There will be no pie in the sky, but such a good thing may really happen."

"Well, I suddenly look forward to the fact that we are all graduating. The Great God hasn't graduated yet. I will definitely not watch the Great God make jokes."

At this time, Lu Xingwen, who was originally thought to be asleep, turned over and said, "Abelian clusters, one of the world's seven major mathematical problems, the Behe ​​and Swinton-Dell conjecture, need to be calculated through Abelian clusters. What do you think the master is doing? The master is solving a mathematical conjecture. I don’t think it’s funny at all, and I even have a feeling of wanting to die.”

"Damn!" Wu Xu cursed in a low voice, "Yu Wanzhou, you are not human!"

"Let me tell you, worship Yu God once every morning and evening to ensure that you can graduate smoothly. I tried it during the college entrance examination, and it was quite effective."

"I said, you don't come to Yuda because you want to worship God Yu?"

"It can be said that I am so blessed to be able to worship God Yu every morning. You may not believe it, but I still have a lot of joss sticks in my bag."

"Don't, don't make trouble!" Yu Wanzhou was startled, "I'm fine, don't curse me."

Wu Xu turned over and got out of bed at once, "I'll come first, my grades are the worst, where are the joss sticks? I have to worship God Yu tonight."

"Don't make trouble, don't make trouble..." Yu Wanzhou was frightened, thinking about the smoke in their dormitory from now on, the three of them were holding three sticks of incense in their hands, and praying to him, that picture is so beautiful , Yu Wanzhou didn't even dare to continue thinking about it.

"It's in my bag on my desk."

Wu Xu chuckled, stared at Yu Wanzhou again and said, "God Yu, just stand here and don't move, wait until I take out the joss stick."

"No..." Yu Wanzhou was so frightened that she hurried back to the bed, "Could you please stop making trouble, is this something that people do? Can't you just order something from Yangjian?"

Wu Xu raised his eyebrows, "Aren't we working in the whole world?"

"Ah..." Xiao Chengzhi lay on the bed and said, "Okay, old Wu, you look so frightened, your face is pale. If something happens, the school will definitely not make it easier for you."

"That's right." Wu Xu put down Lu Xingwen's schoolbag, and went back to the bed again, "Shall we chat with God?"

"What are you talking about?"

"You said you study so well, how did you learn?"

Speaking of this, Yu Wanzhou is really not sleepy anymore.He thought for a while and said, "Let me tell you this, I am... um, how should I put it, I read and study every day, do you believe it?"

"Don't be kidding." Wu Xu said with a sneer, "Master, you are a bit out of place. We are roommates no matter what. Tell us, how did you study?"

"I read the book every day, thoroughly understand the contents of the book, and then do the questions. You understand the tactics of the sea of ​​questions, and then do the outward bound training, that's all..." Yu Wanzhou scratched her head and said, "Actually Pretty simple."

"I finally know why I can't be a big boss." Xiao Chengzhi sighed, "Just learning like a big boss, I guess I can't learn well after hundreds of years of study."

"Who says it's not." Wu Xu sighed and said, "School will not start for a few days. I heard that the master is a local?"

"Yes."

"God take us out to play? You are the only local in our entire dormitory."

"sure."

"Sleep, sleep!" Wu Xu turned over, he is very hurt now, he should go to bed early, it's no fun to watch the big guy do the questions in this way.Anyway, he couldn't understand the questions the big guy did, and he didn't understand the world's seven major mathematical conjectures.

On the contrary, Lu Xingwen said curiously, "Boss, is it really okay for you to take this as a subject?"

"There should be no problem." Yu Wanzhou pondered for a while, "If there is a problem, I can change the subject at any time. Anyway, I am only a college student, and even if I laugh at my jokes, I can't laugh for long. I also have some problems in the field of algebra. Of course, it would be very wonderful if it could be unlocked, even if it can’t be untied, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, the worst result is not too bad.”

"Listen to you, if you don't untie it, won't it have any impact on your academic career?"

"There will definitely be, maybe some people will say that I am unreliable and so on." Yu Wanzhou was not moved at all, "But I am not yet an adult, even if someone says I am unreliable, I will The research can still continue. Although not many people want to see my jokes, as long as I make achievements, most people will still not stare at my youth and ignorance."

"Then what if you make it?" Lu Xingwen is curious now, what will happen if Yu Wanzhou makes it.

"I said that I might be able to win the Fields Medal, do you believe me?"

"Fields Award." Lu Xingwen's throat was rolling, maybe the two sleeping roommates didn't know what the Fields Award represented.But he understands the meaning and weight of the Fields Award very well, and it is not inferior to the Nobel Prize at all.It's just that the age of Nobel Prize winners is getting older, and many winners have made Nobel Prize-level achievements when they were 30 or [-] years old.But they won the Nobel Prize when they were about to enter the ground, and now the entire Nobel Prize is a group of top scientific researchers queuing up to receive the award.It's really hard to say who will win.

The Fields Medal is different. It is originally intended to reward mathematicians aged 40 and under.Naturally, it is younger, and there are many mathematical achievements, as long as you make them.At the International Congress of Mathematicians, you can directly receive the award.They don't even care how old you are, as long as you're under 40.For a mathematician, to make the achievements of the Fields Medal, it must be before the age of 40.

Except for the mathematician Andrew Wiles who solved Fermat's last theorem, after missing the age of winning the Fields Medal, he made top mathematical results.Other mathematicians who have not been able to win the Fields Medal have really not made world-class top mathematical results.

Mathematics is the cornerstone of science.Science cannot develop without mathematics.As a student of physics department, Lu Xingwen knows very well how important mathematics is to science.

Moreover, modern physics and mathematics are almost inseparable.

Although the Fields Medal is much younger than the Nobel Prize, most of the winners are mathematicians between the ages of 27 and 40, and few people in their early 20s have won the Fields Medal.Top-notch mathematical results are not so easy to make.Unless you are a genius, it is almost impossible to make top mathematical achievements in your early 20s and win the Fields Medal at the International Congress of Mathematicians every four years.

Mathematics is a very magical field, whether it is mathematics itself or informatics, computers, physics, etc., will be linked to mathematics.For example, consider the NP-complete problem, one of the Millennium Prize puzzles.It's a math problem, and it's a computer problem.

Lu Xingwen has no doubt that solving this problem will not only win the Fields Medal, but also win the Nobel Prize in the computer world - the AM Turing Award.

Even the Nevanlinna Prize at the International Congress of Mathematicians could be included.

Don't ask why Lu Xingwen knows so much, if he didn't know so much, he wouldn't have chosen physics.Instead, he chose mathematics like Yu Wanzhou. Mathematics is too difficult.Unless he has the ability of Yu Wanzhou, he will die if he touches it.

Mathematics is amazing. He knows that mathematics routines are deep, and physics is safer.

Another example is the Yang-Mills existence and quality gap, which is a mathematical problem and a physical problem.

Solving this problem may not be enough to win the Nobel Prize in Physics.But applying it to physics, it is easy to obtain Nobel Prize-level results.This is the most wonderful thing about mathematics. It seems that many things are related to mathematics.

Lu Xingwen had no choice but to sigh, "I really envy you geniuses. Mathematics is so difficult, so why do you appear so incompetent in your hands. In our hands, you are just like a big devil."

Yu Wanzhou smiled, "If you really want to learn, mathematics is quite easy to learn."

"I used to doze off when I read mathematics, but now, I think mathematics is a very interesting subject." Yu Wanzhou raised her head and looked at Lu Xingwen, "You may not believe it, I was in high school before. At that time, the school I wanted to take the exam was only the second one. My senior high school entrance examination score was more than 400 points, and I went to a local ordinary high school." After a pause, he continued, "But during the summer vacation, I read a book."

"what book?"

"Does God play dice? I think physics is very interesting. I originally wanted to learn physics. But I found that the premise of learning physics well is to learn mathematics well."

"So, my god, you switched to mathematics?"

"It can't be said that I switched to mathematics. I just wanted to learn mathematics well and then study physics. When I first started reading, I dozed off every day."

Lu Xingwen lay on the bed as if he was listening to a story, listening to Yu Wanzhou tell the story of the past.

"Later, I forced myself to learn mathematics well. So I held the book every day. I was not very good at junior high school mathematics. I read junior high school mathematics first, and gradually felt that mathematics was the same thing. Then the whole summer vacation, I read the mathematics in junior high school and high school successively. After doing the questions crazily and seeing a variety of question types, I met Professor Chen Yuan."

"He gave me a subject—that is, the extension of Kronecker's theorem on the Abelian field. You should know this, right?"
