Chapter 8: Sensational

Ye Fei returned to the office, and Tan Lingling said with a smile: "How did you feel on the first day of class?" Is it that some students desert in class, such as playing with mobile phones and reading novels? ”

Without waiting for Ye Fei to speak, Tan Lingling said again: "Students like this are not easy to manage, and it is useless to manage them." ”

"At the beginning, when I saw such students, I was in charge of them, but then I found that it was useless, so I didn't care."

Many people will find a strange phenomenon, in elementary school, junior high school, high school, the teacher will take care of the desertion in class.

But few teachers in universities can manage.

In fact, this is because, in elementary, middle and high schools, students' grades are related to teachers' salaries.

This is not the case with universities.

There is no such thing as a college admission rate, and the quality of students' grades has little to do with teachers.

Ye Fei smiled: "It's okay, it's okay!" ”

With that, he turned on the computer and recorded the inspiration in his mind.

A good memory is better than a bad pen.

Tan Lingling saw that Ye Fei was busy and swallowed what she was about to say.

Time flies by in a hurry, and half a month passes in a blink of an eye.

After Ye Fei checked the paper several times, he hung it on Arxiv.

In just half a day, this paper became popular, and the discussion in the set theory section of Stack Exchange was very hot.

The continuum hypothesis is Hilbert's first problem.

Not to mention how effective it is, but it is very famous.

Since it was proposed by Hilbert at the Congress of Mathematicians in 1900, it has not been solved for 124 years.

Today, Ye Fei proved the continuum hypothesis.

Of course, whether it is correct or not remains to be verified.

But many people feel that Ye Fei is the most likely to prove the continuum hypothesis.

After all, in the past two years, almost all the problems of set theory have been proved by Ye Fei.

If there is anyone in the world who is most likely to prove the continuum hypothesis, Ye Fei has the greatest possibility.

At this time, many well-known academic publishers around the world invited Ye Fei to write papers.

Ye Fei didn't send the paper to a publishing house for the first time, he wanted to play something different.

He thought for a moment and left the office.

Not long after Ye Fei left the office, Zhong Wei, who was shopping at Stack Exchange, suddenly exclaimed.

"I'll go, Ye Fei is too good."

"What's wrong?" The other two looked at Zhong Wei suspiciously.

Zhong Wei said excitedly: "Look at the set theory section of Stack Exchange, Ye Fei has proved the continuum hypothesis. ”

"What?" Tan Lingling exclaimed, and then quickly opened Stack Exchange.

Han Dong didn't speak, and also opened Stack Exchange.

After a moment, the three of them looked at each other in shock, then fell silent.

Ye Fei usually sat next to them, but he didn't expect to quietly prove the continuum hypothesis.

More than half a month ago, they joked that Ye Fei might be able to prove the continuum hypothesis in a year or two.

But no one could have imagined that he would prove the continuum hypothesis so quickly.

Tan Lingling looked left and right, and said with a smile in her heart: "Fortunately, I'm not the only one who thinks it's a waste, they must also think that they are a waste." ”

Thinking of this, Tan Lingling felt a trace of comfort in her heart.

Tan Lingling sighed: "Ye Fei is also really, he didn't say a word about such a big thing as proving the continuum hypothesis." ”

The other two nodded, that is, they didn't say a word about such a big thing.

Zhong Wei said: "Maybe Ye Fei thinks it's unnecessary, after all, he has proved a lot of problems in the past." ”

The other two looked at him silently, you don't speak, no one treats you as dumb.

Don't we know that Ye Fei has proved many problems in the past?

Lu Yishan office!

Lu Yishan looked at the computer screen in astonishment.

After a while, he said, "Did he prove the continuum hypothesis?" ”

He looked to the side at the set theory puzzle that he had studied for a third of the time.

He said helplessly: "It's okay if you don't study it." ”

The most difficult thing about set theory is the continuum hypothesis, and the ultimate goal of all people studying set theory is to prove the continuum hypothesis.

If Ye Fei really proves the continuum hypothesis, then almost all the problems of set theory have been proved by Ye Fei, which also means that set theory has no research significance.

Lu Yishan didn't know if Ye Fei would succeed, but his sixth sense told him that Ye Fei would succeed.

"Hey......" Lu Yishan sighed: "Life is no fun!" ”

Dean's Office of the Faculty of Mathematics!

"Have you proven the continuum hypothesis?" Dean Xiao looked at Ye Fei in astonishment.

"Yes!" Ye Fei nodded.

"Is that correct?" Dean Xiao asked, "No, you still don't know if it's correct, how sure are you that you proved success?" ”

Ye Fei smiled: "Dean, I am 100% sure." ”

Whether it proves to be successful or not, maybe Ye Fei has a hint of luck in his heart, but he knows that this time it is a success.

Dean Xiao asked, "Then you came to me?" ”

"I want to hold an academic presentation at the school." Ye Fei smiled: "This is also a thank you for the school's support to me all the time." ”

There are two kinds of academic reports, one is the academic report held by other organizations, and many people gather together to make academic reports.

For example, in the past, Ye Fei participated in the academic report meeting of the magic capital.

The other is to organize it yourself, such as this one, at the school.

The requirements for these two types of reports are different.

The first is to prove a puzzle that is not very well-known.

The second is to prove a well-known problem.

"Really?" Dean Xiao said excitedly.

If the school really holds an academic report, it will attract many well-known mathematicians at home and abroad with the popularity of the continuum hypothesis.

This is conducive to the development of Zhonghu University and the School of Mathematics of Zhonghu University.

The good development of schools and colleges is helpful to the principal and dean of the school.

"Of course!" Ye Fei nodded.

"Good!" Dean Xiao said excitedly: "You don't have to do anything, just prepare the explanation at the academic report meeting, and leave the rest to the college." ”

"Okay!" Ye Fei nodded.

In the afternoon of the same day, the School of Mathematics of Zhonghu University sent invitations to many well-known mathematicians around the world to participate in Ye Fei's academic report on the continuum hypothesis.

When the news spread, the whole school was in an uproar.

Many people still don't know that Ye Fei proved the continuum hypothesis.

In addition, it is the first time that Zhonghu University has held an academic report, which is of great significance.

From the principal to the students, they are all looking forward to this academic report.

Over the next few days, a lot of people across the university were talking about it.

When some of the other universities heard about it, they were full of envy and jealousy.

Why don't there be people like Ye Fei in their school!
