From small town scholar to chief scientist

Chapter 151 New Ideas
It is a short-term and mathematics-related task for Zhouyi to seek the blessings of various gods in his heart.

Otherwise, Zhou Yi might turn around and study some more simple conjectures.

[Ding, release mission three, accumulate wealth, Xueba.As a mathematician, how can the deposit be so low?Why do all kinds of star actors get high salaries, and top wise men who do pure numbers live in poverty?
Requirements: Whether you solve some conjectures to get bonuses, get various scholarships, or apply mathematics, within three months, your wealth will reach 500 million RMB;

Reward: 500 points, unknown mathematics experience (depending on the situation). 】

Zhou Yi was speechless, what the heck is he hanging on to the task.

Looking forward to such a mission in vain.

This kind of task can be done casually.

If it weren't for the face of the five hundred points, Zhou Yi would have given up on this task directly.

500 million is an astronomical figure for a math monk who does pure numbers, but for Zhou Yi, it is really not a problem now.

After accepting it, Zhou Yi was thinking about what method to use to obtain the greatest value.

After much deliberation, Zhou Yi received a call.

"Hello, Zhou Yi?"

Upon hearing the voice, it was Qiu Chengtong calling.

Zhou Yi immediately said:

"It's my teacher. I'm Zhou Yi."

"Tomorrow's weather will be fine, cloudy, suitable for mountain climbing. Seeing that it is not easy for you to do scientific research, I will take you to climb the Great Wall and relax. Maybe you can adjust your mentality."

Qiu said with a smile on the phone.

Zhou Yi warmed up and said:

"Good teacher."

I have to say that Qiu is indeed a good teacher, at least for Zhou Yi.

I personally take my apprentices out to climb mountains to relax.

Zhou Yi packed up the things he needed, and was ready to continue reading the literature.

The next day, Zhou Yi came to the agreed place, and then set off together, along with Shan Peng.

When arriving at the destination,

As Qiu walked, he said:
"In fact, there is no need to be obsessed with proving the ABC conjecture first. It is also possible to prove several conjectures related to the ABC conjecture, and then further prove the weak ABC conjecture, and finally prove the strong ABC conjecture."

While supporting Qiu, Zhou Yi said:
"The teacher is right. I am too obsessed with fully proving it."

Qiu added:

"Look at Zhang Yitang, for the twin prime number conjecture, didn't he also prove the weak version of the twin prime number conjecture?"

Speaking of Zhang Yitang, Qiu looked very excited and said:

"Actually, Zhang Yitang's work may be bigger than the proof of Goldbach's conjecture in my opinion. The proof of Goldbach's conjecture has little influence on the overall trend of mathematics, but Zhang Yitang's work, in my opinion, is It's a milestone."

Regarding Qiu's evaluation of Zhang Yitang, Zhou Yi did not comment much,
After Qiu said so much, Zhou Yi also understood his teacher's thoughts and said:

"Then I'll start with the Fermat-Catalan conjecture, the Beal conjecture and the Pillai conjecture."

Qiu said:
"Yes, you can do this. From weak to strong, analyze step by step. The main thing is to find some useful tools in the process. These tools can help you solve the ABC conjecture."

Xiao Wanyi on the side was a little dazed, she didn't understand, Shan Peng was well-informed, and said:
"The conjectures mentioned by Zhouyi are somewhat close to the ABC conjecture. As long as the ABC conjecture is proved, these conjectures will become theorems smoothly."

While going up the mountain, talking about the current mathematical forms, Zhou Yi, Shan Peng and Xiao Wanyi also greatly expanded their horizons.

At least this trip to climb the mountain is very meaningful.

"Mathematics and physics are like a sentence in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The general trend of the world is that if the world is divided for a long time, it will be reunited for a long time. Now mathematics and physics have taken two different paths. Although it is unexpected, it is also reasonable."

Seeing Zhou Yi's transformation, Qiu was very excited along the way, talking while walking.

For a day, Zhou Yi and the others also had a great time, and it was already late when they returned to Shuimu.

But Zhou Yi was very excited and couldn't sleep, because Zhou Yi found out that he only needed to prove Beal's conjecture, and he would get 100 million magnesium gold.

This conjecture was proposed by Andrew Beal, a famous banker and amateur mathematics enthusiast in Magnesium.

The guess form is as follows:

equation:

x^p+y^q=z^r, there is no positive integer solution satisfying the condition (x, y, z)=1, p, q, r>2.

In other words, if the above equation has positive integer solutions, then x, y, and z must have common factors.

This conjecture is very simple at first glance, and most high school students think it will.

Even a lot of college students see it and feel that they can do it with their hands.

In fact, this conjecture has not been solved since it was proposed.

Of course, people in science must feel that the steps they have proved are correct.

The form of this equation is somewhat similar to Fermat's last theorem.

Zhou Yi decided to start with these modest conjectures.

If you solve this conjecture, you can also get 100 million magnesium gold, complete new tasks, and gain mathematical experience.

Of course, someone can give a counterexample, and they can get 100 million magnesium gold.

After having a defined goal, Zhou Yi began to prepare for the future study plan and the literature that needs to be read.

The first thing Zhou Yi has to do is to read the paper on the proof of Fermat's last theorem by the British mathematician Andrew Wiles.

This Wiles is a well-known mathematical figure.

Let the International Mathematical Union make an exception and awarded him a special Fields Medal.

Just because he proved Fermat's last conjecture, he became Fermat's last theorem.

At that time, Wiles was older than the age of the Fields Medal.

As we all know, the Fields Medal is only awarded to young people aged 40 and under, and Wiles was 43 years old at that time.

In 1993, Wiles announced that he had proved Fermat's big conjecture, and gave a report to more than 200 people at Cambridge University.
All the people present were top experts, which caused quite a stir at the beginning.
But then at the end of the year, an irreversible mistake was discovered.

At this time, Wiles did not give up, but in 1994, he completely proved Fermat's last theorem by proving the Taniyama-Shimura-Weil conjecture of semi-stable elliptic curves.

Finally published in the "Annual Journal of Mathematics" in 1996,
Until the International Congress of Mathematicians was held in 1998.

At that time, Wiles was older than the age to receive the Fields Medal, but the International Mathematical Union still awarded him a special Fields Medal.

After downloading the [-]-page thesis content, Zhou Yi's next job is to thoroughly understand them, and find some useful tools from them, or prove Beal's conjecture from some of the previous preparation tools.

During this process, what Zhou Yi has to do is to find some new tools, mathematical tools that are helpful to solve the ABC conjecture.

For many days in a row, Zhou Yi spent in the office, cafeteria and dormitory, very regularly.

PS: Thank you book friends for discovering the author's mistakes in the last chapter, which have been corrected. I'm really sorry, the author has been sick these days, and there are some texts, so there are even fewer.

In addition, if there are mistakes in the text, please remind me, thank you very much.The temperature in Yuzhou has changed a bit these days, and I hope you all take care of your health.
