Before the press conference of Seohai University, there was a lot of news on the Internet.

It's just that because it has not been confirmed by Wang Hao himself, the news has been reported and discussed according to the content released by "New Advances in Mathematics".

Many netizens also participated, and discussed with surprise and excitement, "Professor Wang Hao of Xihai University has completed another big achievement!" And it's also a proof of Kakutani's conjecture! ”

"This result is bigger than finding Mason primes, right? This is proof of mathematical conjecture. ”

"Kakutani is famous, don't you know? I can give you some popular science, which means to take a natural number, if it's an odd number......"

"Proving Kakutani's conjecture should be a Fields-level achievement, right?"

"Not necessarily. Although it is very influential, the Fields Medal focuses more on the contribution of results in a certain direction, rather than on a single mathematical problem, of course, I am not necessarily right, but the search website says so......"

“……”

Although there was a lot of discussion on the Internet, in fact, it did not attract much attention, mainly because it was only "New Advances in Mathematics" that published the proof of Kakutani's conjecture, and the author of the paper was Wang Hao.

It was different after the press conference at Seohai University.

This achievement has been confirmed by Xihai University and Wang Hao himself, in addition, the content of the interview is also very slotted, and after the media report came out, it immediately aroused heated public opinion.

"Wang Hao: Kadotani Conjecture Proofs Took Up to Three Months"

A New Approach to Mathematics to Help Advance Mathematical Theory

Wang Hao: The palindromic number conjecture and the Kakutani conjecture are the same type of problems

"The top journal of international mathematics is quickly reviewed and released in one week, opening the way for top mathematics achievements"

"Wang Hao: Kakutani Conjecture is Nothing"

……

……

When the eye-catching headlines came out, the news that Wang Hao had completed the proof of the Kakutani conjecture suddenly became a hot spot of public opinion, and it can even be said to be a super hot spot.

Those academics, especially those in the field of mathematics, want to cry when they look at each content.

Kakutani conjecture, completed in three months;

Top mathematics journals, the total time from review to publication is one week;

A mathematical method was developed, and Kakutani's conjecture was just one of the applications, and it was nothing at all.

When they think about how hard they have worked and how hard they have been unable to solve a problem for a long time, they suddenly have a complex feeling of envy, jealousy, and resentment.

As long as you carefully study Wang Hao's results, you will know that he should be telling the truth.

Because of this, the blow is even more severe.

At the same time, they also know one thing, maybe the proof of the Kakutani conjecture can hardly be said to win the Fields Medal, because the Kakutani conjecture is more about fame than in the mathematical community, how significant it is.

Conjectures of great significance, such as the Fermat conjecture and the Riemann conjecture, have many key applications, and even a small improvement can be a very significant achievement.

Andrew Wiles proved Fermat's conjecture when he was over the upper limit for winning Fields (forty), and the Fields Selection Committee was willing to award him a Silver Fields Medal for an exception.

The Kakutani conjecture is not of such great significance, and it is difficult to say that it can be said to have played a role in promoting the development of mathematics, but it has more of a great reputation.

However, if, as Wang Hao said, he developed a new mathematical method, the Kakutani conjecture is just an application of the method.

It's different.

There is no doubt that the new mathematical method that can prove problems such as the Kakutani conjecture and the palindromic number conjecture must be of great significance, and with this research, it will be enough to reach the Fields level.

If he can win the Fields Medal for this, it will be a "significant contribution to the field of analytic number theory".

"It seems that Wang Hao is not far from getting Fields......"

"It's not just Fields, maybe from now on, he's going to win all sorts of awards, like Andrew Wiles...... used to"

"With this achievement, you can retire early, and even decades later, you will still be considered the top mathematician in the world."

"Wang Hao is only in his twenties, and he has already achieved such great results, it's unimaginable......"

"It must be admitted that geniuses in mathematics are like this, and when they are old, they can't achieve great results."

“……”

The mathematical community is concerned with the results themselves, and public opinion is completely different, and they are more concerned with proving the impact of Kakutani's conjecture and the accompanying 'entertainment'.

After seeing a large number of interview reports released by the media, netizens felt dumbfounded, "Is it a long time to complete the proof of the Kakutani conjecture in three months?" ”

"If you go through the back door, you will say that you will go through the back door, and what else will you say to open the way for top results...... Although this is indeed the case......"

"Kakutani's conjecture is nothing? Wang Hao's next step is not to prove Goldbach's conjecture and Riemann's conjecture, right? ”

"I don't know what's going on, since I watched the video of Professor Wang Hao's interview, I feel like a waste, living in the world, is wasting food, adding a burden to the country and society......"

"I don't know what's going on, I feel the same way......"

"Me ...... too"

"Ditto."

"Top."

……

The next morning, when Wang Hao went to the office, he saw Zhang Zhiqiang and Zhu Ping, both looking listless.

Wang Hao stopped and asked strangely, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Zhang Zhiqiang raised his head and said, "Wang Hao, I feel like a waste." ”

"Me too."

Zhu Ping followed and said.

Wang Hao subconsciously nodded when he heard this, and immediately reacted, realizing that in this context, this action seemed to be a little unfriendly, he thought about it and said to Zhang Zhiqiang, "Aren't you promoted to associate professor?" In a few years, he will be a professor. ”

"Makes sense!"

Zhang Zhiqiang thought about it and nodded vigorously, "At least the school still recognizes me." ”

"What about me? What about me? Zhu Ping pointed at herself, looking waiting for praise.

Wang Hao thought about it carefully for a while before saying, "Sister Zhu, you will also study for a doctorate soon, and you can also be promoted to associate professor in the future, there are very few female professors of informatics." ”

"That's right."

Zhu Ping suddenly realized, became energetic again, and even began to look forward to it.

Dr. Zhu, Dr. Zhu, it doesn't sound ordinary.

At this time, Luo Dayong entered the door and helped Zhu Ping make a calculation by the way, "It takes at least three years to study for a doctorate on the job." It is said that Dean Chen has very high requirements for students, it may take four or five years, and after studying for a doctorate, they can be promoted to a teaching position, and then to be evaluated as an associate professor. ”

"Don't say that you can't reach the average at all, even if you can reach the average, it will be almost ten years, and the female associate professor of information science who is nearly fifty years old ......"

"Tsk~~"

He focused on the word 'vice', and the last two syllables sounded uncomfortable.

Zhu Ping's anger came up all of a sudden, she picked up the books on the table, and rushed towards Luo Dayong.

"Don't! Other! ”

Luo Dayong quickly confessed and raised his hand to make a surrender, "Sister Zhu Ping, next time I won't tell the truth again!" ”

"Smack!"

The next moment the book slapped over.

Once again, a farce was played out in the office.

Wang Hao was admiring the farce in the office, and also reading the news and reading the media reports, and found that many of the comments on the reports were very strange, why did it seem that netizens seemed to be sour......

"Wang Hao: Kakutani Conjecture is nothing"?

What is this report?

"Have I ever said anything like that?" Wang Hao thought about it carefully, and he wasn't sure if he had said it or not.

He felt a little wronged.

Like Luo Dayong, he is telling the truth!

The proof of Kakutani's conjecture is indeed only one of the achievements, and his main achievement is only one, that is, the mathematical method used to complete the proof, and the biggest proof is that he did not establish the research task of 'palindrome number conjecture' and 'Kakutani conjecture', but only used the mathematical method to complete the proof.

"It seems that sometimes telling the truth is very shocking, and it should be said to be a little more tactful, for example, the Kakutani conjecture proved that it took half a year? Or have you been researching? ”

"Or is it exciting to complete the proof of the Kakutani conjecture?"

Wang Hao shook his head in thought, he began to work seriously, and it was still important to summarize the mathematical method.

Its importance is not only to publish the results, nor to promote the development of mathematics, but more importantly, the results are related to the 'completion of S-level difficulty research', and the completion of S-level difficulty research can obtain 3,000 teaching coins.

[Teaching coin: 6719.] 】

The current teaching coin is already very objective, and if you get 3,000 points in one go, it is already close to 10,000 points.

10,000 points is a watershed.

The requirement to obtain the next ability is to have more than 10,000 Teaching Coins.

"What's next? What could it be? It shouldn't be worse than "The Gift of Teaching", right? Wang Hao is already looking forward to it.

However, it is not easy for him to calm down and do research, and some reporters asked that the interview be directly dismissed, and there are experts from the materials institute from the capital who come to the door, so he has to meet him.

Those who came were Cao Dongming, Qu Shigang and Wang Jiming.

In fact, they booked tickets for this morning, and the other people who came together had already left by plane, but thinking about it, they didn't see Wang Hao on a trip, and they were unwilling.

So Qu Shigang decided to stay for another day, Cao Dongming was naturally 100% supportive, and Wang Jiming saw that Qu Shigang was so resolute, so he stayed with him.

After Qu Shigang saw Wang Hao, he immediately talked about the problem of poor hospitality at the Institute of Aeronautical Materials last time, and he kept saying apologetic words, so he almost apologized directly.

In the face of this attitude of an old academician, Wang Hao felt a little unbearable, in fact, he didn't take it to heart at all, feeling that he was a young mathematics professor, and it was normal for him to go to the Institute of Materials to make a report, and there were few people who came to listen.

Empathy!

If he were a data mining expert in materials research, he would not believe that a mathematics professor in his early twenties would be very researched in the field of data mining in materials research.

Of course.

Wang Hao really feels that he is a layman, except for some experimental research on titanium alloys, he doesn't even understand the basics of other content, so he doesn't pay attention to the few people who come to listen to the lecture.

The main focus is on different areas.

If he is giving a lecture on mathematical theory, and there are very few people who come to listen to it, he will definitely take it to heart, and the other party must have done it on purpose.

After an apology, Cao Dongming also asked about the common research questions about the experimental data analysis of β titanium alloys.

Wang Hao said calmly, "I have finished it, but I haven't summarized it yet." It's a bit too cumbersome to summarize the research, I've been busy lately, really busy, and I'm summarizing a new mathematical approach. ”

"It's complicated." He added three words after speaking.

Wang Hao really felt troublesome.

The common summary of data analysis related to alloy research involves all aspects of the experimental process, and it takes a long time to summarize.

But he was not in the mood to summarize any material research at all, after all, it was not his own research, and if there was nothing to do, he didn't mind helping to summarize it when he was free.

Right now, it's busy!

Qu Shigang and the three of them glanced at each other, and they heard the key content from Wang Hao's mouth - the research is completed, it takes time to summarize, and then he has no time recently.

What to do?

Qu Shigang didn't know what to say in a hurry, but Cao Dongming said to the point, "Professor Wang Hao, it doesn't matter if you summarize or not, we still want to invite you to give a lecture in the Institute of Materials." ”

Cao Dongming has already figured it out.

It doesn't matter whether Wang Hao shirks or not, even if he helps make a summary, just send a summary of the content, will they definitely be able to analyze and understand?

It's hard to say.

Those contents involve some complex mathematical theories, and they analyze them by themselves, which may deviate from the original meaning, so it is better to directly ask Wang Hao to give another lecture.

Qu Shigang immediately reacted, "Yes, we would like to invite you to give another lecture at the Institute of Materials, this time there will definitely be many people to listen, you can rest assured!" ”

"Moreover, it is a formal invitation, so that we have twenty ...... Thirty...... No, 500,000, it doesn't matter if the money is not money, the important thing is that you can't run for nothing. ”

Qu Shigang said with pain in pain.

He is the vice president of the Institute of Materials, but he can't make a direct decision when he takes out 500,000 yuan as a lecture fee, and he must be responsible for this expense, including making a report to his superiors to explain why he paid such a high lecture fee.

The probability of approval from the superior is not high, and he may have to pay for it himself.

Fortunately, Cao Dongming nodded together, "Yes, I just don't want you to run in vain." What he said was also very simple, and then he and Qu Shigang glanced at each other, and had a clever agreement that if the lecture fee could not be approved, they would resist together.

Wang Hao hesitated and thought about it, and found that he couldn't refuse, so he was very embarrassed and said, "That'...... Okay, but at least by the end of this month, I'm really busy. ”

"It's okay at the end of this month!"

"No problem! Professor Wang Hao, contact again! ”

Qu Shigang and Cao Dongming exhaled lightly together, and left after all the problems were discussed.

After walking out of the complex building, Wang Jiming, who had not spoken, finally couldn't help asking, "I've been hearing from you all the time, how powerful Wang Hao is, is it true?" I have to pull him to give a lecture, and he ...... 500,000 ......"

Wang Jiming is a little envious, he is the chief expert of Wuhan Iron and Steel, and he also has the title of 'academician' on his head, and he gives a lecture at a university or institution, and the lecture fee is only 30,000 or 50,000 yuan.

Wang Hao is 500,000?

Qu Shigang suddenly shook his head and said, "Ji Ming, you still don't understand, Wang Hao is going to give a lecture, let alone 500,000, 5 million is worth it!" ”

"If I could make my own decision, five million would definitely be willing to spend!"

"Why?" Wang Jiming was very puzzled.

"It's simple." Cao Dongming said, "Academician Wang, let me give you an example, and you will understand." Professor Wang Hao gave a lecture last time and talked about the control of melting temperature, which allowed me to speed up the research and development time of the two projects in my hand by at least two months, saving more than 3 million funds. ”

"Two months, three million, this is just my titanium alloy research and development, other alloy research and development can also be referenced, Professor Wang Hao's research is used for alloy material research and development, and the practical value is very high."

"So powerful?"

"Of course." Qu Shigang said, "Otherwise, how could we bother to make such a trip?" ”

Wang Jiming nodded after hearing this, "Then I'll listen to it too." ”

"This won't work, right?" Qu Shigang reacted immediately and immediately refused.

"Why not?"

"Of course not, we have to spend 500,000 yuan, and Professor Wang Hao came to our aviation institute for the sake of me and Dongming's face, you want to listen to it in vain without spending money?" Qu Shigang felt unacceptable when he thought about it.

Wang Jiming suddenly became anxious, "No, Lao Qu, you are not interesting enough, I will follow you to the West Sea!" ”

"If we pay for it, you will treat it as a tour." Qu Shigang said it as a matter of course.

"How can you do that?" Wang Jiming was about to be angry to death.

"500,000, one yard to one yard!"

“…… What the hell am I ......" Wang Jiming burst into foul language.

Along the way, the two kept arguing, and even quarreled all the way until they got on the plane.

……

Wang Hao's proof of completing the Kakutani conjecture has aroused heated discussions in public opinion, and there is even more talk in Xihai University.

All the students knew about it.

They are also constantly talking, even some students who don't study on weekdays and only focus on games have been popularized by various science about what is the Kakutani conjecture and how powerful Professor Wang Hao is.

This kind of discussion is everywhere on campus, even in the retake course of Probability Theory and Mathematical Statistics.

Most of the students who retake the course are the kind of students who don't study.

Most of them are directly failed because of too much absenteeism, and some of them did not study in class and did not prepare for exams, which eventually led to failing courses.

In short, it's all a failure.

Of course, there are other factors, such as sick leave, suspension, or whatever, missing an exam or simply missing a course, but these are only very rare.

Some of these students who are active will also talk about Wang Hao and his research on the Kakutani conjecture with others.

The main thing is to gossip.

Some said, "I'm just unlucky, if Wang Hao is my probability teacher, I will definitely study seriously!" ”

"Yes, if Wang Hao is my teacher, it is impossible to fail the course at all."

"I just failed the course last semester, and the teacher happened to be Wang Hao......"

"Why?"

"You may not know how high Wang Hao's requirements are for students, he is late a few times, he usually has zero points, and he is absent from class twice, and he can just give up."

"You have to listen carefully in class, and you can't lie down for a while if you want to......"

There are a lot of students who know about it.

But some students still insisted, "If Wang Hao is a teacher, he will definitely study seriously." ”

"What a rare opportunity!"

"yes......"

In the midst of constant discussions, it was time for class, and a figure dressed in casual clothes, who seemed to be no different from the students, walked straight to the podium after walking through the door of the classroom.

Then he stood there with a smile on his face, tried the microphone and said, "Hello students, I am the lecturer of this class, Wang Hao." ”

"Some of you may know me, some of you don't, it doesn't matter, if you don't want to spend money to retake credits, you will definitely know me......"

He smiled as he thought he was friendly, his white teeth gleaming in the light.

The faces of many students suddenly wanted to cry sadly......

It's over!

The teacher of the retake course is Wang Hao?

I knew that this was the case, even if I tried my best, I couldn't fail the course!
