The effect of these heavyweight mathematicians' statements is obvious.

The next day, the media reported on Pang Xuelin, and the wind direction changed significantly.

The New York Times: "The Ponzi geometry theory is on the scene, and the Chinese genius is ushering in a new era of mathematics, and the Fermat conjecture may be just the beginning." ”

Associated Press: "Pang Xuelin proved himself through the report meeting, and the theory of Ponzi geometry has been highly recognized by the international mathematical community. ”

The Times: "The Proof of Fermat's Conjecture, Scholastic Pang is on track to become the youngest Fields Medal winner in history." ”

Le Figaro: "On a historic day in the history of mathematics, the young Chinese mathematician Xuelin Pang released the theory of Ponzi geometry at Princeton University, which is expected to become the Grothendieck of the 21st century. ”

……

In the Western media, all kinds of praise poured in.

As for the previous articles of Hei Pang Xuelin, they had long since disappeared completely, as if nothing had happened.

"Mr. Pang, Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, University of California, Berkeley, University of California, Los Angeles, University of Pennsylvania, University of Chicago, etc., have all sent you invitations to report meetings, in addition, the Associated Press, the New York Times, the Washington Post, The Times, Time Magazine and other media also want to do an exclusive interview with you, and how should we respond to these invitations on Oprah's talk show......

Geng Huan said on the side.

After coming to the United States, Geng Huan almost became Pang Xuelin's full-time secretary.

In particular, the repercussions of yesterday's report meeting in the Western society once again set off a wave of frenzy in China, and the domestic media almost overwhelmingly reported Pang Xuelin's performance at this report meeting, almost blowing Pang Xuelin into the world's number one mathematician.

And Geng Huan also received instructions from China to fully assist Pang Xuelin in handling various affairs in the United States.

Pang Xuelin thought for a while and said: "If you want to go to school, you can choose Harvard, MIT, Stanford and UCLA, and the media will choose Oprah talk show, the New York Times and Time Magazine......"

Oprah's talk show is a television medium, the New York Times is almost the No. 1 print media in the United States, and Time magazine has an unparalleled influence in the magazine industry.

"Okay, then I'll arrange a ...... for you as soon as possible"

Geng Huan obviously understood Pang Xuelin's thoughts, and nodded.

Geng Huan's movements were very fast, and that afternoon, Pang Xuelin met a visiting reporter from Time Magazine in the café on the first floor of the hotel.

"Hello Mr. Pang, I'm Catherine Murphy, and I'm honored to meet you......"

Katherine Murphy is a beautiful white woman who looks twenty-seven or eighteen years old, wearing a pair of rimless glasses that gives an intellectual beauty.

"Murphy? Murphy's Law?! ”

Pang Xuelin laughed.

"Murphy's Law?" Catherine Murphy was slightly stunned and said with a smile, "Teacher Pang, is there a law named after me in mathematics?" ”

Pang Xuelin shook his head and said: "No, Murphy's Law is a concept in management, which means that if there is a possibility that things will go bad, no matter how small this possibility is, it will always happen." I remember it was brought up by an Air Force captain named Edward Murphy in your country. Of course, this law can also be expressed in mathematical statistics in this way: assuming that the probability of an unexpected event occurring in an experiment is p(p>0), then the probability of at least one occurrence in n experiments is P=1-(1-p)^n. It follows that no matter how small the probability p is (i.e., a small probability event), P gets closer and closer to 1 as n gets larger and larger. ”

Catherine Murphy pursed her lips and smiled: "It's really interesting, Mr. Pang, do you look at problems from a mathematical perspective in your daily life?" ”

Pang Xuelin said: "No, most of the time I am no different from ordinary people, only when I study mathematical problems, my way of thinking will change." ”

Katherine Murphy: "We all know that you're not a math genius, but when did you start showing your talent for math?" Was there anything special about you when you were young?"

Pang Xuelin said: "My adoptive father was a math teacher when he was young, and he discussed numbers with me when I was a child, which really helped me. But then most of the time, I was basically self-taught, and when I was in junior high school, I accidentally found a calculus tutorial in the school library, and it took me a whole month to understand the book, and at that moment, I began to have a greater interest in mathematics. ”

Catherine Murphy was intrigued: "And what do you think of your success in mathematics?" What kind of person do you think you are in life? ”

Pang Xuelin said: "I should be regarded as a relatively simple person. In my opinion, people who are clear-minded, independent and accomplished are the simplest people. Turning mystery into common sense and complexity into simplicity, mathematics is a wonderful, powerful and indispensable scientific tool. It's the same in life, the more simple you are, the easier it is to succeed. ”

When Newton was twenty-three years old, in the summer of 1665, he was forced to leave Cambridge and live in the countryside for a year and a half because of a massive plague outbreak in England. And it was during this period of avoiding disaster in the countryside that Newton's creativity was at its highest. Almost all of his major mathematical and physical ideas were born during this period. In addition, when Einstein was doing his great discoveries in his youth, he was only a third-class clerk at the Patent Office in Bern, Switzerland, and the conditions for his life and research were not very good......"

"For me, the days at Lingziding Village Primary School were the simplest and purest days, and studying mathematics was just a hobby for me, and perhaps this is why I was able to get inspiration."

Catherine Murphy said: "You are known for two very important works, one is the Fermat conjecture and the other is the Ponzi geometry theory that you just proposed yesterday, what do you think of these two works?" ”

"Some math problems just don't have the tools to solve them, and it doesn't matter if you're smart or not. It's like climbing a mountain, if it's a 10-meter cliff, it's hard to climb without the right tools and equipment. But with the right tools and equipment, we have more than enough to climb even the steepest cliffs, even if they're only 1 mile high. ”

"This is the case with the Fermat conjecture, which has plagued us for so many years only because we have not found a suitable tool, and Ponzi geometry is one such tool, which bridges the gap between number theory and algebraic geometry......"
