Chapter 181: Wyles
Many people believe that a good mathematician, when he enters society, can do almost all types of analytical work. Although Junxin does not fully agree with this sentence, he also agrees with it.
In Junxin's view, a good mathematician can do most of the analytical work, but this is undoubtedly a great waste for mathematicians. Most of the time, the role of mathematicians is reflected in the application of mathematics to other aspects of life, such as the financial industry, such as the computer industry, and so on.
But for more complex matters, mathematics alone is not enough, and knowledge of all aspects is required. The role of mathematics lies more in rational arrangement and overall planning. This collaborative approach is applied to basketball, a sport that has taken the world by storm, and is reflected in the fact that mathematics can precisely control the impact of various disciplines on the game.
To give a simple example, such as the influence of biology on basketball, which is mainly reflected in the body of basketball athletes, after accurately understanding the human body through the anatomical principles in biology, after examining various instruments, it is possible to establish a profile related to the individual. Then, through mathematical analysis, you can accurately calculate the calories ingested by the athlete and the detailed list of nutrients required, accurately calculate the appropriate amount of exercise, and even through the mechanobiological sports model of the human body, the various movements of basketball can be quite standardized, which can play a role in achieving the maximum effect with the minimum force.
Although Junxin is not a graduate of biology, his brain is full of the content of CNS journals and their sub-journals, although his understanding of biology is not up to the level of professors who have been immersed in this field for decades, but his ability has at least reached the level of a professional graduate student, and it is not difficult for him to solve the model of human mechanical biology, and then deduce the training intensity and quantitative assessment of the twelve team members according to the model.
Therefore, when these players were conducting various trainings, Junxin made very careful observations, through a large number of data obtained from observation, and then established a model for calculation, and soon listed the training methods of each team member. It is with these training methods that Junxin has the confidence to say that he will see the effect after two weeks.
Junxin smiled and didn't stay in the training ground for long, and after finishing his lecture and handing out the forms, he hurriedly left the training ground alone to attend a special welcome party hosted by the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, welcoming Professor Andrew Wiles, the most creative young mathematician of the young generation from Cambridge University in the United Kingdom.
Andrew Wiles received an invitation letter from the School of Mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton around November last year, inviting him to work on algebraic geometry on elliptic curves at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. By now, Professor Wiles' research work had been completed ahead of schedule, so he came to Princeton about a month early.
The arrival of Professor Wiles is an honor for the School of Mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, as well as an honor for the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University. Recognized as the most talented expert in the study of elliptic curves in the British academic community, Professor Wiles's status is not as high as that of mathematics after he proved Fermat's theorem, but now his status is not low because some of his research results are widely accepted by the public. In order to welcome his arrival, the School of Mathematics of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and the Department of Mathematics of Princeton University jointly organized this welcome party.
Andrew Wiles, a famous British mathematician. Andrew Wiles was born in England in 1953 to an engineering professor.
At the age of 10, Andrew Wiles was fascinated by Fermat's theorem and chose mathematics as his lifelong career.
In 1974, he graduated from Merton College, Oxford, with a bachelor's degree in mathematics.
In 1977, he received his Ph.D. from Clare College, Cambridge University, under the supervision of John Coates. He was a junior research fellow at Clare College and an assistant professor at Harvard University.
In 1981, he worked as a researcher at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.
In 1982, he became a professor at Princeton University.
In 1986, Andrew Wiles decided to attack Fermat's theorem. He had spent 18 months gathering the mathematical tools necessary for the battle, and his full estimate was that what would happen was a 10-year effort of dedication.
In 1977, Professor Wiles and Coates proved the most important conjecture in elliptic curves, the special case of the Birch-Swinnayton-Dyer conjecture (i.e., for elliptic curves with complex multiplication); Historically, Professor Wiles and Mazur will prove the master conjecture in Iwasawa's theory in 1984, and his work will lay the groundwork for his future proof of the Taniyama-Shimura-Wey conjecture, the complete Fermat theorem.
Professor Wiles' life was a legendary honor, and at a young age he chose mathematics as his lifelong career because of Fermat's theorem. When I grew up, I temporarily said goodbye to Fermat's theorem because of the field of research. After his friend Professor Ry-Beckett proved the Frey conjecture and revealed the relationship between Fermat's theorem and Taniyama-Shimura conjecture, he returned to proving Fermat's theorem because of problems in his research field. And after spending seven full years, this mathematical problem was finally proved and became a big news sensation in the world.
People magazine named Wiles, along with Princess Diana, among the "25 most charismatic people of the year." The most creative compliment came from a major international garment company (GAP), who invited the suave genius to model for their new menswear collection.
The reason why Junxin has respect for Professor Wiles is that Professor Wiles is the same teacher who studied mathematics when Junxin was studying under Professor Witten at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, although they don't have this problem now, but this is enough for Junxin to leave the team he just came into contact with and come to Professor Wiles's welcome party.
