Chapter 32: Classes

"At half past eight, our dean personally gave us a lecture on analytic number theory, why don't you come and listen?"

Zheng Hui felt a little pain in his heart, and he was despised by the School of Biochemistry in mathematics.

"Can you give me a book or a math journal first?"

I was despised again, and I didn't even have any interest in listening to the dean's analytic number theory class......

Senior Brother Zheng threw the remaining half of the flatbread into the trash, and he really didn't have any appetite!

"Don't look at the mathematics department of our Anhui University of Technology, which is not very good, and it is not ranked in the country, but our dean is the leader of the province's 'applied mathematics' discipline and the editorial board member of the SCI journal in the field of probability and statistics...... I'll show you a math journal......."

Senior Brother Zheng looked at Yi Xiaochuan's eyes, sighed, and then muttered: "The tutor seems to have an all-English "Mathematics Yearbook", hehehe......"

"Senior Brother Zheng, what are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing, you go to the lecture hall first, I'll get you the books......"

The lecture hall can seat at least 200 people, but close to half past eight, there are more than 30 graduate students, including more than half of the normal students next door.

Xiao Yi sat in the front row, casually flipping through the "Annals of Mathematics" that Zheng Hui took over, this is an all-English mathematics journal, and it is still in a new state, probably because not many people have read it!

There are many mathematical annuals, both abroad and at home, and this is obviously not a domestic one, but the "Annals-of-Mathematics" run by Princeton on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, which is known as one of the four most authoritative "comprehensive" mathematics journals in the field of mathematics today.

As for Princeton, this is a world-renowned private research university located in Princeton, New Jersey, United States, and is one of the eight Ivy League schools.

You don't need to go into detail about Princeton's scientific research and research results, you just need to know who is from Princeton, and you know the horror of this university.

Since its establishment, it has trained 2 U.S. presidents, 12 U.S. Supreme Court justices and many U.S. Congressmen. At the same time, Princeton University, together with the nearby Princeton Institute for Advanced Study (IAS), constitutes a world-renowned theoretical research center, which has had a profound impact on the development of basic mathematics, theoretical physics, economics and other disciplines. As of today, a total of 63 Nobel laureates have worked or studied at Princeton University, and 13 Turing Award winners, the world's highest computer award, and 14 Fields Medal winners, the world's highest mathematics award, have worked or studied at Princeton.

Professor Shi, vice president of Mizuki University, who Otogawa saw in the news in the morning, has served as an assistant professor, associate professor, tenured professor, and Warner-Lambert/Parke-Davis Chair Professor in the Department of Molecular Biology at Princeton.

As an undergraduate student of a second-rate university in China, a scumbag who almost didn't get a degree certificate, is it a high mountain, is it as far away as the starry sky!

We'll never cross paths!

Xiao Yi didn't notice that the dean of the math academy was coming, and he didn't notice that the dean in his fifties had already started class, he frowned and flipped through a heavy copy of the "Annals of Mathematics", paused from time to time, pondered for a moment, and wrote and drew on the scratch paper

Of course, the graduate students around me are also holding pens and writing in their notebooks.

Only Senior Brother Zheng was a little absent-minded, and peeked at Yi Xiaochuan from time to time.

It's like I'm blocked.

People are more popular than dead people!

Xiao Yi is like a piece of the sea, absorbing nutrients and knowledge, and the papers that can be published in the Princeton "Annals of Mathematics" are naturally the latest research results in the mathematics community in the past year.

Each article is worth thinking about and learning.

Even, some papers are difficult to read for a while.

After all, he only has some attainments in number theory, and the direction of his research is also prime.

Mathematics is so broad that no one can master it all.

It is impossible for Euler and Fourier to be alive.

Logical Mathematics, Algebra, Mathematics, Geometry, Topology, Function Theory, Probability Theory, Mathematical Statistics, Operations Research, Combinatorics, Fuzzy Mathematics, Quantum Mathematics......

Going deeper in one direction can make a mathematician lose the hair on the top of his head before the age of forty.

Otogawa finally stopped at a paper on a complementary study of the topological method to the sieve theory.

This kind of research has been going on for a long time, and Professor Zelberg's paper published in the Annals of Mathematics in '95 pointed out the direction for this research......

However, the topological principle of the sieve method is still difficult to solve the conjecture of prime numbers, including twin primes, and in order to solve this problem, the mathematical community must find a new method.

Everyone is trying, but so far there has been no major breakthrough.

However, this paper brought a new idea to Xiao Yi......

"Bang Bang ......"

The table in front of him was knocked twice hard.

"Classmate, get up and solve the problem on the blackboard......"

Xiao Yi raised his head in confusion, and there was a bald old man in front of him, with an expressionless face and sharp eyes.

Seeing Xiao Yi's expression, he snorted coldly, patted the podium and shouted: "The country is in trouble, and the husband is responsible." Ask yourself, what can you do if a catastrophe strikes? You can't pick up your shoulders or lift your hands, and the migrant workers on the construction site are more effective in society than you...... Don't say that we live in an era of peace, just mix a bite of food, do you really think that you are living in a comfortable period of peace? Think about it with your ass! What can you do? What can you do after graduation? Do you do finance? Do you think you can make a lot of money? Dream it!

I flew back from the capital before dawn, and I didn't even drink a sip of water to teach you, for what? I'm old, and this era is your ......."

Xiao Yi finally figured out what this dean was going to do by himself, isn't it just the problem of the analytic extension of the L-function!

Is it hard?

He took chalk in front of the dean, interrupted the dean's anger, and wrote on the blackboard.

The writing is smooth and the movements are dashing.

The dean was surprised!

The graduate students at the bottom are confused!

Senior Brother Zheng had such an expression on his face!

Xiao Yi put down half of the chalk, patted the chalk ash on his hand, walked to his seat, and then continued to read the "Annals of Mathematics......

The dean picked up more than a dozen pages of scratch paper on the table, looked at them one by one, his brows furrowed more and more, and read them over and over again.

The atmosphere in the lecture hall was very strange, and Xiao Yi finally put down his pen and folded the page he saw.

"Dean, is there a problem?"

"Do you have any research on the large sieve method and the circle method?" put down the scratch paper, and the dean stared at Xiao Yi tightly.

"To solve the Goldbach conjecture, the large sieve method is a research tool for analytic number theory full of inspiration and potential, and it can even be said that the value of the large sieve method has surpassed the Goldbach conjecture itself. The circle method is another way of proving the same proof problem, and it is also a very promising method in the number theory community......"

"Would you like to be my graduate student?"

Xiao Yi shook his head.

"That's right, I can't teach you, are you willing to go to Beijing University? I'll take you to the interview myself......"

Xiao Yi shook his head and said, "Studying prime numbers is just my hobby......"

"You're wasting your talent......" the dean almost growled.

The graduate students were stunned again.
