God's Crown
Chapter 118 Academic Report Meeting (1)
Luo Jie came to his side suddenly and asked if he had forgotten something, An Yan froze for a moment, did he forget something?Think about it, as if you haven't forgotten anything.Looking at Roger, blinking his eyes, he said puzzledly, "Brother Roger, have I really forgotten anything?"
It seems that I haven't forgotten anything.Recently, he has been looking at the basic concepts and knowledge needed for Hilbert space, and he is immersed in academics.I feel that my body and mind have been washed, and now my mind is full of knowledge such as functional analysis, topology, and calculus.He didn't think that there were other things at all, Roger took a look at An Yan, and said slowly, "Did I remember wrong?"
"Ah?" An Yan was stunned for a moment, "What did I remember wrong?"
"I remember we were supposed to go to UC Berkeley for an academic conference in early May?"
"Oh——" After being said by Roger, he really remembered.He is indeed going to the University of California to attend the mathematics conference, which is an international mathematics conference held by IMU, and mathematics professors from almost all countries will go.
Of course, they are all well-known mathematics professors.
"If Brother Roger didn't remind me of this, I might really miss this mathematics conference." An Yan rubbed his head.
"By the way, the professor knows you will forget, so let me remind you."
"You have to bring your luggage too. After you go to the University of California, don't you have to go to Stanford?" Roger stretched out his hand and rubbed An Yan's head, and said viciously, "I said, I'm afraid you are not stupid because of reading books." , I don’t know anything else? After you go to Stanford University, I’ll see what you do.”
An Yan smiled embarrassedly, "I...should be able to find a way."
"Okay, hurry up and pack it up, don't read it today. I booked a plane ticket to the University of California, Berkeley for tomorrow. After you get there, you will have an academic report on the twin prime number conjecture. Haven't you forgotten?" .Have your documents and materials been prepared? Have you passed them on?"
"I've sent an email before, and I just need to make a report when I get there." An Yan finished packing up all the materials and documents and returned them.I left the library with Roger, came to the door of the dormitory, said goodbye to Roger, and then opened the door of the dormitory and entered the dormitory.
Before closing the door, Roger turned back and said to An Yan, "
You go to bed early today and have an early flight to California tomorrow. "
"Okay Brother Roger, I will allocate time reasonably." An Yan nodded, and after Roger finished speaking to An Yan, he walked back in peace.
After speaking, An Yan watched Roger leave.Then he closed the dormitory door and lay down on the sofa.He yawned, but couldn't sleep again, so he took out his phone and looked at it for a while.He found himself holding the phone and didn't know what to do at all.Forget it, let's continue to calculate today's math content.As for the twin prime conjecture, he has already submitted it to the organizing committee.Including the derivative problem of the twin prime number conjecture - no, that derivative problem seems to have not been fully worked out.
When An Yan thought of this, she took a draft paper and a pen and began to calculate on paper.
This should be correct. According to the sieve method and the Langlands program, if you do this calculation yourself, you should be correct.While calculating, An Yan thought in her heart.After thinking for a while, An Yan started to write again.Until the next day when Roger went to find An Yan, he was completely dumbfounded.
Yesterday I reminded An Yan to go to bed early, but I didn't expect to see this guy as if he hadn't slept all night.
This is... embarrassing.
Roger said cautiously, "Ann, you haven't slept all night, have you?"
An Yan yawned and said, "Brother Roger, should we go?"
"Yes—but the way you are—"
"It's okay, Brother Roger." An Yan hadn't finished the calculation yet, and he continued to calculate after he was about to board the plane.
"Then let's go." When leaving the dormitory with the suitcase, An Yan felt a little light in his body, as if his body was very light.My eyes are about to close, and I really want to sleep.
Arriving at the airport with such an expression, An Yan sat on a chair and fell asleep for a while.Roger shook his body and told him that he was about to board the plane, and after he got on the plane and put his luggage away.An Yan took out a pen and paper and put them aside, waiting for him to continue his calculations after the plane took off.At this moment, he had no sleepiness at all, and Roger was almost stunned watching from the sidelines.
Just now he looked like he couldn't wake up, but now he is full of energy.What's going on here?After the plane took off, An Yan continued to calculate seriously. Roger poked his head out of his head and looked at it curiously for a while, feeling a little dizzy in his brain, "Is this number theory? Are you using the sieve method?"
"Yes." An Yan replied, and continued to count without raising her head.
"Ah, forget it, I'd better take a nap." Roger leaned his head to the side and began to sleep.The more An Yan calculated, the more excited he became. He seemed to have discovered something extraordinary.It's just - great!
After he finished his calculations, he looked around and found that almost everyone had fallen asleep.There is still a part left to be completed, but An Yan already has a score in his heart. Putting down the draft paper and pen in his hand, he almost couldn't keep his eyes open.Like everyone around him, he fell into a deep sleep.
By the time he opened his eyes, the plane had landed in San Francisco.
University of California, Berkeley (University of California, Berkeley), referred to as "Berkeley", referred to as "Berkeley" or "Cal" in English, is located in Berkeley, San Francisco Bay Area, USA. It is a world-renowned research university and the top public university①.
The so-called San Francisco Bay Area is - with Silicon Valley as the center, with the emergence of semiconductors, microprocessors and gene technology, high-tech enterprises in the Bay Area are mainly information technology and biotechnology.Including computer and electronic products, communications, multimedia, biotechnology, environmental technology, and banking and financial industries and service industries.It has many "world firsts" in history: integrated circuits, microprocessors, heart transplants, and recombinant DNA②.
Coincidentally, Stanford University is also located in Palo Alto, in the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area, and An Yan's trip from UC Berkeley to Stanford University is naturally much easier.
After getting off the plane, An Yan and Roger drove to the University of California, Berkeley. Before entering the gate, someone was already welcoming them.
It seems that because it is an international mathematics conference of IMU, UC Berkeley still attaches great importance to it.In particular, many of the Fields Medalists will come to this academic conference.The student from the University of California, Berkeley looked at An Yan and Roger in a daze together and said with a smile, "Are you here to participate in the International Mathematical Conference?"
"That's right." Roger nodded, "I'm here on behalf of Professor Benson from the University of Zurich. Because of the physics conference, Professor Benson is afraid that he won't be able to attend this mathematics conference in time. So let me come here on his behalf... ..."
"That's such a pity." The female student, a blond and blue-eyed white woman, said with a smile, "Ann, right. I saw your picture in the lecture on the twin prime number conjecture."
"Ah—" An Yan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect to be recognized before he could speak.He was a little embarrassed, he was not a celebrity, but he was recognized by a student at the University of California, Berkeley.
"My name is Veblen, and I am a student in the Department of Mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley. The previous lecture on twin prime numbers was given by Dr. Tao."
"Dr. Tao?" An Yan was taken aback for a moment, it turned out to be that divine man.That's right, Dr. Tao himself is a professor of mathematics at the University of California, although Dr. Tao is a professor of mathematics at UCLA.But both sides are University of California, there must be some exchanges, Dr. Tao came here to give a lecture on the twin prime number conjecture, it also makes sense.
Roger also froze for a moment, carefully echoing who Dr. Tao was in Veblen's mouth.
After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't recall who that Dr. Tao was in his memory.But seeing An Yan's expression of sudden realization, he asked curiously, "Ann, who is Dr. Tao that Veblen mentioned?"
"Dr. Terence Tao." An Yan frowned and looked at Roger, "You don't even know Dr. Terence Tao?"
"It turned out to be the big guy—" Roger suddenly realized. At the age of 21, he received a doctorate from Princeton, and at the age of 24 he became a professor at UCLA. At the age of 31, he won the Nobel Prize in mathematics - the Fields Medal. The first half of this big man's life can be said to be very legendary.
An Yan wondered if he could meet this big shot at this International Mathematical Conference.
Since he studies mathematics, the faces and names of these bigwigs must often appear in front of his eyes.
Veblen said with a smile, "Dr. Tao also said that if anyone can generate new problems in the conjecture of twin primes, then you must be the only one. Ann, Dr. Tao is very optimistic about you."
An Yan scratched his head and laughed. He felt that he still couldn't afford the praise of a Fields Award magnate.Although it was possible that it was just a compliment for the occasion, An Yan felt that he still couldn't bear the compliment of this boss.
After all, the bosses are all winners of the Fields Medal, and almost won the highest award in mathematics awards.
"In that lecture, Dr. Tao also said that if he had the opportunity, he would definitely want to talk to you. But unfortunately, Dr. Tao didn't seem to be able to come to this mathematics conference. Of course, I don't know if Dr. Tao will Come on, I heard that you are going to study at Stanford University. Why not choose the University of California? Our mathematics department is similar to Stanford’s, and even the physics department is not much different.”
"There's no reason, it's just a personal choice."
An Yan smiled. He is now at the University of California, Berkeley, so it is possible that he can still say that the school is not good.
"Oh, here we are." As they walked, they came to the door of a hotel in a short while, "You two live here, if you have anything to do, you can talk to the front desk directly. By the way, tonight There is a party, Mr. An, I wonder if you are free to attend?"
Going to a party?Farewell, with this time, isn't it good to use it to study number theory or other mathematical theories?Isn't this kind of party just a group of people dancing, talking, and flirting with other people by the way?He is a man of Brother Ze, if Brother Ze knew that he was going to this kind of party, he would definitely be dizzy.
"Sorry, I still have some problems in number theory, so I might not be able to attend the party." He turned his head and saw that Roger was about to move, and said with a smile, "Miss Veblen, why didn't you invite Brother Roger? He sees Looks like he'd really like to join your party."
"Mr. Roger, what do you think?"
"Of course, Miss Beautiful, I am very honored to be able to participate in this party." The two were talking and laughing, An Yan went directly to the front desk, took the key, and opened the door of the room.
After closing the door, put down the suitcase in your hand.He took out his mobile phone and called Gu Weize.
Gu Wei on the other end of the phone seemed to be sleeping when he received the call, he said softly, "Xiao Yan, what's wrong?"
"Brother Ze, I'm here at the University of California, Berkeley, and I have a few days left to attend the math conference and I'm going back to China."
"En!" Gu Wei, who was originally sleepy, turned over and became sober in an instant, "Xiao Yan, you have already arrived at the University of California, so how many days are you going to be back?"
"Yes, it's not far from Stanford University, it's all in the San Francisco Bay Area." An Yan said with a smile, "Brother Ze is still sleeping?"
"Well, you were sleeping when you made the call." Gu Wei yawned, and said while holding the phone, "Xiao Yan, I miss you."
"Well, Brother Ze, I'm going back to China soon, will you pick me up then?"
"Of course I'm here to receive a small banquet."
"By the way, where is Xiaoyan now?"
"Let's make a video." An Yan said and hung up the phone, and sent a video to Gu Weize with Qiuqiu.Gu Wei, on the other hand, was not afraid of spending more traffic, so he accepted An Yan's video.Seeing An Yan sitting on a chair, his handsome face slightly frowned and said, "Xiao Yan, are you in a hotel?"
"Well, I just arrived at the hotel. This is the residence arranged by the University of California." An Yan smiled and looked at Gu Weize, who was a little vague, "Brother Ze is getting more handsome the longer he grows."
Gu Wei touched his face, "How can I, I'm already rough, basking in the sun every day, didn't Xiaoyan notice that I've turned darker a lot?"
"It's not black, it's bronze." An Yan said with a smile, "No, Brother Ze, look, this is where I live."
"Does Xiaoyan live alone?" Gu Wei was particularly concerned about this issue.
"Of course I live alone. I have to study number theory here later, and I will give an academic report in a few days. I still have a little something to do."
"When did Xiaoyan arrive there?"
"Not long after I arrived, I just arrived at the University of California, and then someone took us to the hotel. I called you, Brother Ze, you see, I still care about you."
Gu Wei said happily, "Hey, my little banquet is really good."
"Okay, Brother Ze, where are you now?"
"In the dormitory, Nuo, you can watch Xiaoyan for yourself. But our dormitory is quite messy—" Gu Wei scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly.
"Ann!" At this moment, Roger pushed open the door and looked at An Yan, and he found that An Yan was speaking a lot of words he couldn't understand into the phone.
"Hey, Xiao Yan, someone seems to be here?" Gu Weize had sharp eyes and found that the door behind An Yan was pushed open.
An Yan turned around and did not hang up the video.Looking at Roger, he said, "Brother Roger, what's wrong?"
"Oh, Ann, are you on the phone with someone else?" Roger winked at Ann Yan, "No wonder you don't go to the party."
An Yan smiled, but did not speak.
"I'm here to tell you that Miss Veblen and I have already made an appointment, and we are going to a party tonight. Are you sure you really don't want to go?"
"No need." An Yan shook his head and said, "I still have to study number theory."
"Okay, I wish you good luck!" Roger waved his hand coolly and retreated.Then the door was closed by the way, and Gu Wei didn't speak during this process, until he heard the door was closed, he said, "Xiao Yan, who was that person just now?"
"My senior brother, Professor Benson's graduate student."
"Is there anything he wants from you?"
"It's nothing. The University of California student who took us to the hotel today invited us to a party. I didn't agree. Brother Roger is going."
"Why do I feel that the student plotted against my family's An Yan?
"
"Brother Ze, don't talk nonsense. It's the first time I've met him. What's more, I can't agree. If I have that time, I might as well read more about number theory. Why do I want to participate in this kind of competition?" Party."
"It's just—" Gu Weize's hanging heart also fell, "It's fine if you don't participate in the small banquet, let's not play with them."
"Well, don't worry, I really won't play with them." An Yan rubbed his eyebrows, "Brother Ze, go to bed early, I'm going to start researching my own stuff too."
"Well, Xiaoyan, you can study it first, I will watch Xiaoyan study it."
"You really—" An Yan smiled and didn't speak, but put the phone aside to charge, and didn't hang up the video.Holding a pen and paper, he began to calculate seriously, while Gu Wei didn't say a word, quietly watching An Yan thinking seriously in the sunlight.The little banquet in his house is really beautiful, and it's a genius.Where can he find such a daughter-in-law?
If he hadn't kidnapped An Yan into a pirate ship since he was a child, he would never have found such a good wife.
When thinking of this, a silly smile appeared on Gu Weize's handsome face.An Yan didn't see it, he was still doing his own thing seriously.
There are actually many more questions about number theory.What can be said is the Goldbach conjecture.
But An Yan will definitely not solve Goldbach's conjecture at this time. The twin prime conjecture is not only a number theory but also has a profound impact on informatics. For example, the NP-complete problem is the same.
In fact, An Yan was thinking about whether he should read the literature on NP-complete problems, but his existing knowledge was too thin.Moreover, the reason why a system cannot be formed yet, so he did not rush to study NP-complete problems.
But he is still very interested in this conjecture.
It is even more interesting than the NS equations of fluid mechanics and the Yang-Mills problem of quantum mechanics and nonlinear partial differential limit equations.
The pen made a rustling sound when it touched the paper.
Gu Wei just stared at An Yan at the other end of the video, quietly doing his own thing.
An Yan sometimes frowned, sometimes stretched his brows, and sometimes his whole face was about to wrinkle together, which he thought was quite amusing.Thinking in his heart, it turned out that Xiao Yan had such an expression when he was thinking about those difficult problems.
It's really cute, if it wasn't because he didn't understand anything, he would also want to help Xiaoyan solve these problems.
I just want to think so, if he is really asked to do it, he will definitely not be able to do it.Taking a deep breath, watching An Yan doing his own things so quietly, Gu Wei fell asleep by himself.
When An Yan finished his calculations, Gu Weize was still sleeping.He was thinking about whether to wake up Gu Weize, and after thinking about it, it should be the weekend in Huaguo, so there is no need to wake Gu Weize, let him sleep for a while.
After hanging up the video, An Yan washed up and lay down on the bed to sleep.
When Gu Weize woke up, he found that An Yan had hung up the phone in the morning.Thinking that An Yan must be doing her own stuff and staying up late.After thinking about sending an Qiuqiu message to An Yan, he got out of bed refreshed and washed, and then went to have breakfast.
…………
The next day, after An Yan woke up, he saw a message from Gu Weize.With a knowing smile, An Yan put the phone into her trouser pocket, and then opened the curtains.The sun was pouring down, and I squinted my eyes to look at the scenery outside the window for a while.Today is the opening ceremony of the mathematics conference, so it should be very lively.
He didn't stay in the room, washed up and left the hotel for UC Berkeley.When I arrived at Berkeley, there were a lot of people walking up and down the campus.
This was his first time at UC Berkeley, and he was quite curious.Look left and right, everything is very fresh.While An Yan was looking around, someone called his name behind him.
Turning around and taking a look, it was a man with the face of Hua Guo who was waving at him.He speaks Chinese, presumably he is also a Chinese talent.It's just that he doesn't seem to know this one.So he asked a little puzzled, "Who are you?" An Yan looked curiously at the person in front of him.
This man, who looks in his 40s, seems to be a little familiar.He was waving at An Yan, walking to his side, An Yan asked the doubt just now.In his memory, he didn't know the person in front of him. Why this person could recognize him and call him by his name is really strange.When thinking of this, An Yan scratched his head, not understanding why the person in front of him was able to see him at a glance in the crowd, could it be because he was short?
The man smiled at An Yan and said, "Hello, An Yan, I am Yan Kai from the Department of Mathematics of Peking University, and I was invited to attend this mathematics conference. I never expected to meet you at the opening ceremony. "
Yan Kai smiled very kindly, and An Yan immediately had the idea of getting close to this person.
"It's Professor Yan, how did you recognize me?" An Yan still didn't figure it out, even if this is a professor from Peking University, how could he recognize him all at once?This is unscientific, and he doesn't seem to be so famous.This Professor Yan was invited by IMU to attend the mathematics conference, and his academic attainment is not too weak.Otherwise, it is impossible to invite IMU to participate in the mathematics conference, but to come to the conference.
No one is embarrassed to say such things, especially the professors of Peking University.Isn't it because the professor was invited to speak out in a fair manner?
Yan Kai smiled slightly, looked at An Yan, and then said, "I forgot, you have been abroad all this time, and you haven't paid much attention to domestic news."
"Yes!" An Yan nodded, he really didn't pay much attention to domestic news, his own projects were too busy, so how could he have time to pay attention to domestic news.
"You are now a big celebrity in our country. Did you know that the news network has broadcast the news that you won the Heinemann Award?"
"I know this. Although he doesn't know how the news broadcast is broadcasted, he thinks it's only a minute or two. This is a big celebrity. He is not a public figure who often appears in front of the public. , is not a big star, it is simply impossible to say that it is a big celebrity."
"The news broadcast took 15 minutes to report the news of your award. It is very difficult for you not to be famous now."
"Ah!" I thought it would take at most one or two minutes, but I didn't expect it to be so long.An Yan himself was shocked, and said in disbelief, "No way, although the Heinemann Award is an international award, it is not famous."
"Have you become famous not long ago?" Professor Yan Kai shrugged his shoulders, "Because you were not famous before because no Chinese people got this award, and now you are famous in China because you really won this award. But that's fine, domestic It’s time to rectify the ethos, everything can be entertained, but it’s actually quite dangerous.”
An Yan did not speak, and quietly waited for Professor Yan Kai to continue.
"You said that you appear on the news network for 15 minutes. Is it difficult for me to forget you?"
"Not really." An Yan muttered, "Why did it take so long to broadcast my story?"
"It's not because the domestic atmosphere has been distorted. Now the higher-ups want to rectify this atmosphere, and the clown is in charge. It's just that they haven't found a typical example. You won the Heinemann Award and naturally entered the sight of the higher-ups. .With such a good example like you, how could it be possible that the higher-ups don’t use it.”
"This is a good opportunity to publicize, and it doesn't take much effort. Your achievements have already been recognized internationally, and you still have some reputation in the international academic circle. Isn't it the best role model for young people?" Yan Kai Shen said this, with an inscrutable expression on his face, "Not only now, but what achievements you have in the future will still be on the news network."
"It's still very good for you."
"Ah!" Isn't being on the news broadcast a public execution?How could it be good for him? Why didn't he feel that it was good for him?
"If you think about it, you can be regarded as an officially recognized scientist. If you want to return to China in the future, it will be a very simple matter. I believe that there are countless schools vying to get you. And the conditions offered Certainly not low, you are an officially recognized scientist, and your background is the official of the entire Huaguo, do you think it will be of any benefit to you?"
"As long as you don't make any mistakes in principle, I believe that no one will dare to say anything bad about you in Huaguo."
"Walking sideways, wouldn't that be a crab?" An Yan scratched his head and said, "I really haven't thought about it, thank you Professor Yan Kai for reminding me."
It is equivalent to saying that he has to pay attention to every word and deed in the future.Otherwise, it may set a bad example for the young people, which is also part of the behavior of using the young people in Huaguo to restrain An Yan.This is mutual, and the official may not have thought of this level when he first started promoting him.
However, after a wide range of teenagers accepted the personality of An Yan's scientist, An Yan had to be cautious in his words and deeds, and had to make higher achievements to convince the teenagers in Huaguo more of the 90's that was pushed up by the government. After example.If he makes any mistakes, he may be backlashed.
Fortunately, apart from Gu Weize, An Yan now only has to study.Of course, it is impossible to give some people a chance to attack him, Yan Kai raised his brows and looked at An Yan with a relaxed expression and said, "Have you figured out what I just told you?"
"Well, figured it out."
"Then you are still so relaxed, as expected of you!"
"Then even if I have a mournful face, it won't help."
"I heard that you are going to Stanford University after the math conference. How do you feel about it?"
"What do you think? I went to Stanford to study, not to be a professor."
"Based on your current knowledge, it is actually enough to be a professor. There is no problem at all with a doctoral student."
"But I just graduated from college."
"I also read your graduation thesis, nonlinear partial differential limit equations, how did your brain come up with it? You can imagine it, and you really did it. When I first read your thesis, I thought it was quite nonsense. Yes, the more I read it, the more it seems nonsense. But in the end, I was convinced by your thesis. Especially in terms of calculation, I never thought that you could actually use the homogeneous balance method to do it."
"Hey, I also want to thank Academician Lin. If Academician Lin hadn't explained it to me, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to make it."
"Have you ever thought about solving a mathematical conjecture? Like the NS equation or something? Oh, yes, you are in physics. How about the Yang-Mills equation? Interested?"
"Actually, there are two I am interested in now, one is the Hilbert space."
"Hilbert space is good. When you were at the University of Zurich, your professor was studying quantum mechanics, right?"
"Yes!"
"Then the Hilbert space can just test your level of mathematics and quantum mechanics. How about another one?"
"There is another NP-complete problem." An Yan smiled at Yan Kai.
Yan Kai looked at An Yan in astonishment, what the hell is the NP problem? Isn't that a problem in informatics?Why do you suddenly want to study informatics?This thing has almost nothing to do with physics, how could An Yan want to solve this problem.
"It's unbelievable." Seeing Professor Yan Kai's stunned look, An Yan smiled and said, "When I first thought of this question, I thought it was a bit unbelievable that I, a student majoring in physics, wanted to solve the problem. This is an NP-complete problem."
"However, this is a difficult problem in mathematics and informatics, and it is one of the seven major problems of the millennium. It is quite difficult. Are you sure you really want to solve this problem?" Professor Yan Kai still didn't believe it. , An Yan really wanted to solve the NP complete problem, took a deep breath and said, "I don't have any research on this problem, but I'm very curious about why you are interested in this problem."
"Probably the twin prime number conjecture. As you know, number theory itself is somewhat intersected with informatics."
"Yes." Professor Yan Kai nodded slightly. What An Yan said was not wrong. Number theory itself is applied to informatics.
"So after I solved the twin prime number conjecture, I have been thinking about another problem in informatics, whether it can be solved. I may not be able to solve it, but I can try to find a way, maybe I can solve it? "
"If you can really solve NP-complete problems, then you will definitely be the next Fields Medal winner." Professor Yan Kai is actually not very optimistic about An Yan's solution to NP-complete problems, the seven major mathematical conjectures of the millennium One, it has been determined that the difficulty of this thing is very high.Even the threshold for connecting to this problem is very high, just like his senior professor of mathematics at Peking University, he just barely touched the threshold for understanding this kind of problem.
Of course, almost all mathematical conjectures are prepared for mathematical geniuses. Professor Yan Kai does not deny that An Yan himself is a mathematical genius.But this person's study time is only a few years, let him be a genius and use his mind.There is always a lack of accumulation of knowledge, and to unlock this thing, not only a genius is enough, but also the accumulation of knowledge.
It's like building a building. It is impossible to build a building without laying the foundation.The same is true for unraveling mathematical conjectures.It is completely impossible to unravel mathematical conjectures without profound knowledge accumulation.
This is why Professor Yan Kai was particularly surprised when he heard that An Yan wanted to solve NP-complete problems.
But it is impossible for Professor Yan Kai to persuade An Yan.People like An Yan, especially geniuses, are very stubborn, and it is impossible to listen to his persuasion.Not to mention An Yan, just take him as an example, if anyone wants to persuade him, it will be useless at all.It is impossible for him to listen to other people's persuasion, what a joke, why should I listen to your opinion, I think I can do it, and I can do it.
"Cough cough!" Professor Yan Kai coughed lightly, and said to An Yan, "Look, we've been chatting for a while, the opening ceremony should start soon, right?"
The opening ceremony was held in the auditorium. From the appearance of Professor Yan Kai, he seems to be quite familiar with UC Berkeley.An Yan asked cautiously, "Professor, you seem to be quite familiar with this place."
Professor Yan Kai said with a smile, "It can't be said that I am very familiar with it, but I have held several meetings here, so I have some understanding of the situation here."
Seeing the people walking on the road, almost all of them quickened their pace, An Yan also said, "It should be about to start now, I think everyone is walking a lot faster."
"It should be." The professor nodded slightly, "Let's go too."
When I came to the auditorium, it was almost overcrowded, and the people who entered the auditorium were all mathematicians.So everyone's seats were almost random, and An Yan and Professor Yan Kai sat in front of the auditorium's gate.Although they came a bit late, they were not considered the last to arrive.
Sit in a chair and listen to the people on stage talking.Neither Yan Kai nor An Yan continued to chat, and after a while, another person sat down next to An Yan.When An Yan turned his head to look, he realized that it was Roger sitting next to him.He was also stunned for a moment, looked at Roger and said, "Brother Roger, why did you arrive so late."
Roger said as if he didn't sleep, "The party was too late yesterday, and I overslept. Ann, this opening ceremony hasn't started long, has it? If the professor knows that I missed the opening ceremony, he will give me—" As he spoke, Roger made a gesture of wiping his neck.
An Yan shook her head and said, "Not long after the beginning."
"That's good."
After watching the opening ceremony, the mathematics conference was officially held.The theme of this mathematics conference is the future direction of mathematics. In this area, An Yan has no right to speak and does not intend to speak.Sitting in the auditorium, watching the group of professors talking about their ideas to each other.He was a little drowsy, it would be great if he could do the questions at this time, An Yan thought in his heart.
Looking at An Yan's appearance, Yan Kai knew that he would definitely not listen.To be honest, no one knows the future direction of mathematics, maybe there is
It seems that I haven't forgotten anything.Recently, he has been looking at the basic concepts and knowledge needed for Hilbert space, and he is immersed in academics.I feel that my body and mind have been washed, and now my mind is full of knowledge such as functional analysis, topology, and calculus.He didn't think that there were other things at all, Roger took a look at An Yan, and said slowly, "Did I remember wrong?"
"Ah?" An Yan was stunned for a moment, "What did I remember wrong?"
"I remember we were supposed to go to UC Berkeley for an academic conference in early May?"
"Oh——" After being said by Roger, he really remembered.He is indeed going to the University of California to attend the mathematics conference, which is an international mathematics conference held by IMU, and mathematics professors from almost all countries will go.
Of course, they are all well-known mathematics professors.
"If Brother Roger didn't remind me of this, I might really miss this mathematics conference." An Yan rubbed his head.
"By the way, the professor knows you will forget, so let me remind you."
"You have to bring your luggage too. After you go to the University of California, don't you have to go to Stanford?" Roger stretched out his hand and rubbed An Yan's head, and said viciously, "I said, I'm afraid you are not stupid because of reading books." , I don’t know anything else? After you go to Stanford University, I’ll see what you do.”
An Yan smiled embarrassedly, "I...should be able to find a way."
"Okay, hurry up and pack it up, don't read it today. I booked a plane ticket to the University of California, Berkeley for tomorrow. After you get there, you will have an academic report on the twin prime number conjecture. Haven't you forgotten?" .Have your documents and materials been prepared? Have you passed them on?"
"I've sent an email before, and I just need to make a report when I get there." An Yan finished packing up all the materials and documents and returned them.I left the library with Roger, came to the door of the dormitory, said goodbye to Roger, and then opened the door of the dormitory and entered the dormitory.
Before closing the door, Roger turned back and said to An Yan, "
You go to bed early today and have an early flight to California tomorrow. "
"Okay Brother Roger, I will allocate time reasonably." An Yan nodded, and after Roger finished speaking to An Yan, he walked back in peace.
After speaking, An Yan watched Roger leave.Then he closed the dormitory door and lay down on the sofa.He yawned, but couldn't sleep again, so he took out his phone and looked at it for a while.He found himself holding the phone and didn't know what to do at all.Forget it, let's continue to calculate today's math content.As for the twin prime conjecture, he has already submitted it to the organizing committee.Including the derivative problem of the twin prime number conjecture - no, that derivative problem seems to have not been fully worked out.
When An Yan thought of this, she took a draft paper and a pen and began to calculate on paper.
This should be correct. According to the sieve method and the Langlands program, if you do this calculation yourself, you should be correct.While calculating, An Yan thought in her heart.After thinking for a while, An Yan started to write again.Until the next day when Roger went to find An Yan, he was completely dumbfounded.
Yesterday I reminded An Yan to go to bed early, but I didn't expect to see this guy as if he hadn't slept all night.
This is... embarrassing.
Roger said cautiously, "Ann, you haven't slept all night, have you?"
An Yan yawned and said, "Brother Roger, should we go?"
"Yes—but the way you are—"
"It's okay, Brother Roger." An Yan hadn't finished the calculation yet, and he continued to calculate after he was about to board the plane.
"Then let's go." When leaving the dormitory with the suitcase, An Yan felt a little light in his body, as if his body was very light.My eyes are about to close, and I really want to sleep.
Arriving at the airport with such an expression, An Yan sat on a chair and fell asleep for a while.Roger shook his body and told him that he was about to board the plane, and after he got on the plane and put his luggage away.An Yan took out a pen and paper and put them aside, waiting for him to continue his calculations after the plane took off.At this moment, he had no sleepiness at all, and Roger was almost stunned watching from the sidelines.
Just now he looked like he couldn't wake up, but now he is full of energy.What's going on here?After the plane took off, An Yan continued to calculate seriously. Roger poked his head out of his head and looked at it curiously for a while, feeling a little dizzy in his brain, "Is this number theory? Are you using the sieve method?"
"Yes." An Yan replied, and continued to count without raising her head.
"Ah, forget it, I'd better take a nap." Roger leaned his head to the side and began to sleep.The more An Yan calculated, the more excited he became. He seemed to have discovered something extraordinary.It's just - great!
After he finished his calculations, he looked around and found that almost everyone had fallen asleep.There is still a part left to be completed, but An Yan already has a score in his heart. Putting down the draft paper and pen in his hand, he almost couldn't keep his eyes open.Like everyone around him, he fell into a deep sleep.
By the time he opened his eyes, the plane had landed in San Francisco.
University of California, Berkeley (University of California, Berkeley), referred to as "Berkeley", referred to as "Berkeley" or "Cal" in English, is located in Berkeley, San Francisco Bay Area, USA. It is a world-renowned research university and the top public university①.
The so-called San Francisco Bay Area is - with Silicon Valley as the center, with the emergence of semiconductors, microprocessors and gene technology, high-tech enterprises in the Bay Area are mainly information technology and biotechnology.Including computer and electronic products, communications, multimedia, biotechnology, environmental technology, and banking and financial industries and service industries.It has many "world firsts" in history: integrated circuits, microprocessors, heart transplants, and recombinant DNA②.
Coincidentally, Stanford University is also located in Palo Alto, in the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area, and An Yan's trip from UC Berkeley to Stanford University is naturally much easier.
After getting off the plane, An Yan and Roger drove to the University of California, Berkeley. Before entering the gate, someone was already welcoming them.
It seems that because it is an international mathematics conference of IMU, UC Berkeley still attaches great importance to it.In particular, many of the Fields Medalists will come to this academic conference.The student from the University of California, Berkeley looked at An Yan and Roger in a daze together and said with a smile, "Are you here to participate in the International Mathematical Conference?"
"That's right." Roger nodded, "I'm here on behalf of Professor Benson from the University of Zurich. Because of the physics conference, Professor Benson is afraid that he won't be able to attend this mathematics conference in time. So let me come here on his behalf... ..."
"That's such a pity." The female student, a blond and blue-eyed white woman, said with a smile, "Ann, right. I saw your picture in the lecture on the twin prime number conjecture."
"Ah—" An Yan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect to be recognized before he could speak.He was a little embarrassed, he was not a celebrity, but he was recognized by a student at the University of California, Berkeley.
"My name is Veblen, and I am a student in the Department of Mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley. The previous lecture on twin prime numbers was given by Dr. Tao."
"Dr. Tao?" An Yan was taken aback for a moment, it turned out to be that divine man.That's right, Dr. Tao himself is a professor of mathematics at the University of California, although Dr. Tao is a professor of mathematics at UCLA.But both sides are University of California, there must be some exchanges, Dr. Tao came here to give a lecture on the twin prime number conjecture, it also makes sense.
Roger also froze for a moment, carefully echoing who Dr. Tao was in Veblen's mouth.
After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't recall who that Dr. Tao was in his memory.But seeing An Yan's expression of sudden realization, he asked curiously, "Ann, who is Dr. Tao that Veblen mentioned?"
"Dr. Terence Tao." An Yan frowned and looked at Roger, "You don't even know Dr. Terence Tao?"
"It turned out to be the big guy—" Roger suddenly realized. At the age of 21, he received a doctorate from Princeton, and at the age of 24 he became a professor at UCLA. At the age of 31, he won the Nobel Prize in mathematics - the Fields Medal. The first half of this big man's life can be said to be very legendary.
An Yan wondered if he could meet this big shot at this International Mathematical Conference.
Since he studies mathematics, the faces and names of these bigwigs must often appear in front of his eyes.
Veblen said with a smile, "Dr. Tao also said that if anyone can generate new problems in the conjecture of twin primes, then you must be the only one. Ann, Dr. Tao is very optimistic about you."
An Yan scratched his head and laughed. He felt that he still couldn't afford the praise of a Fields Award magnate.Although it was possible that it was just a compliment for the occasion, An Yan felt that he still couldn't bear the compliment of this boss.
After all, the bosses are all winners of the Fields Medal, and almost won the highest award in mathematics awards.
"In that lecture, Dr. Tao also said that if he had the opportunity, he would definitely want to talk to you. But unfortunately, Dr. Tao didn't seem to be able to come to this mathematics conference. Of course, I don't know if Dr. Tao will Come on, I heard that you are going to study at Stanford University. Why not choose the University of California? Our mathematics department is similar to Stanford’s, and even the physics department is not much different.”
"There's no reason, it's just a personal choice."
An Yan smiled. He is now at the University of California, Berkeley, so it is possible that he can still say that the school is not good.
"Oh, here we are." As they walked, they came to the door of a hotel in a short while, "You two live here, if you have anything to do, you can talk to the front desk directly. By the way, tonight There is a party, Mr. An, I wonder if you are free to attend?"
Going to a party?Farewell, with this time, isn't it good to use it to study number theory or other mathematical theories?Isn't this kind of party just a group of people dancing, talking, and flirting with other people by the way?He is a man of Brother Ze, if Brother Ze knew that he was going to this kind of party, he would definitely be dizzy.
"Sorry, I still have some problems in number theory, so I might not be able to attend the party." He turned his head and saw that Roger was about to move, and said with a smile, "Miss Veblen, why didn't you invite Brother Roger? He sees Looks like he'd really like to join your party."
"Mr. Roger, what do you think?"
"Of course, Miss Beautiful, I am very honored to be able to participate in this party." The two were talking and laughing, An Yan went directly to the front desk, took the key, and opened the door of the room.
After closing the door, put down the suitcase in your hand.He took out his mobile phone and called Gu Weize.
Gu Wei on the other end of the phone seemed to be sleeping when he received the call, he said softly, "Xiao Yan, what's wrong?"
"Brother Ze, I'm here at the University of California, Berkeley, and I have a few days left to attend the math conference and I'm going back to China."
"En!" Gu Wei, who was originally sleepy, turned over and became sober in an instant, "Xiao Yan, you have already arrived at the University of California, so how many days are you going to be back?"
"Yes, it's not far from Stanford University, it's all in the San Francisco Bay Area." An Yan said with a smile, "Brother Ze is still sleeping?"
"Well, you were sleeping when you made the call." Gu Wei yawned, and said while holding the phone, "Xiao Yan, I miss you."
"Well, Brother Ze, I'm going back to China soon, will you pick me up then?"
"Of course I'm here to receive a small banquet."
"By the way, where is Xiaoyan now?"
"Let's make a video." An Yan said and hung up the phone, and sent a video to Gu Weize with Qiuqiu.Gu Wei, on the other hand, was not afraid of spending more traffic, so he accepted An Yan's video.Seeing An Yan sitting on a chair, his handsome face slightly frowned and said, "Xiao Yan, are you in a hotel?"
"Well, I just arrived at the hotel. This is the residence arranged by the University of California." An Yan smiled and looked at Gu Weize, who was a little vague, "Brother Ze is getting more handsome the longer he grows."
Gu Wei touched his face, "How can I, I'm already rough, basking in the sun every day, didn't Xiaoyan notice that I've turned darker a lot?"
"It's not black, it's bronze." An Yan said with a smile, "No, Brother Ze, look, this is where I live."
"Does Xiaoyan live alone?" Gu Wei was particularly concerned about this issue.
"Of course I live alone. I have to study number theory here later, and I will give an academic report in a few days. I still have a little something to do."
"When did Xiaoyan arrive there?"
"Not long after I arrived, I just arrived at the University of California, and then someone took us to the hotel. I called you, Brother Ze, you see, I still care about you."
Gu Wei said happily, "Hey, my little banquet is really good."
"Okay, Brother Ze, where are you now?"
"In the dormitory, Nuo, you can watch Xiaoyan for yourself. But our dormitory is quite messy—" Gu Wei scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly.
"Ann!" At this moment, Roger pushed open the door and looked at An Yan, and he found that An Yan was speaking a lot of words he couldn't understand into the phone.
"Hey, Xiao Yan, someone seems to be here?" Gu Weize had sharp eyes and found that the door behind An Yan was pushed open.
An Yan turned around and did not hang up the video.Looking at Roger, he said, "Brother Roger, what's wrong?"
"Oh, Ann, are you on the phone with someone else?" Roger winked at Ann Yan, "No wonder you don't go to the party."
An Yan smiled, but did not speak.
"I'm here to tell you that Miss Veblen and I have already made an appointment, and we are going to a party tonight. Are you sure you really don't want to go?"
"No need." An Yan shook his head and said, "I still have to study number theory."
"Okay, I wish you good luck!" Roger waved his hand coolly and retreated.Then the door was closed by the way, and Gu Wei didn't speak during this process, until he heard the door was closed, he said, "Xiao Yan, who was that person just now?"
"My senior brother, Professor Benson's graduate student."
"Is there anything he wants from you?"
"It's nothing. The University of California student who took us to the hotel today invited us to a party. I didn't agree. Brother Roger is going."
"Why do I feel that the student plotted against my family's An Yan?
"
"Brother Ze, don't talk nonsense. It's the first time I've met him. What's more, I can't agree. If I have that time, I might as well read more about number theory. Why do I want to participate in this kind of competition?" Party."
"It's just—" Gu Weize's hanging heart also fell, "It's fine if you don't participate in the small banquet, let's not play with them."
"Well, don't worry, I really won't play with them." An Yan rubbed his eyebrows, "Brother Ze, go to bed early, I'm going to start researching my own stuff too."
"Well, Xiaoyan, you can study it first, I will watch Xiaoyan study it."
"You really—" An Yan smiled and didn't speak, but put the phone aside to charge, and didn't hang up the video.Holding a pen and paper, he began to calculate seriously, while Gu Wei didn't say a word, quietly watching An Yan thinking seriously in the sunlight.The little banquet in his house is really beautiful, and it's a genius.Where can he find such a daughter-in-law?
If he hadn't kidnapped An Yan into a pirate ship since he was a child, he would never have found such a good wife.
When thinking of this, a silly smile appeared on Gu Weize's handsome face.An Yan didn't see it, he was still doing his own thing seriously.
There are actually many more questions about number theory.What can be said is the Goldbach conjecture.
But An Yan will definitely not solve Goldbach's conjecture at this time. The twin prime conjecture is not only a number theory but also has a profound impact on informatics. For example, the NP-complete problem is the same.
In fact, An Yan was thinking about whether he should read the literature on NP-complete problems, but his existing knowledge was too thin.Moreover, the reason why a system cannot be formed yet, so he did not rush to study NP-complete problems.
But he is still very interested in this conjecture.
It is even more interesting than the NS equations of fluid mechanics and the Yang-Mills problem of quantum mechanics and nonlinear partial differential limit equations.
The pen made a rustling sound when it touched the paper.
Gu Wei just stared at An Yan at the other end of the video, quietly doing his own thing.
An Yan sometimes frowned, sometimes stretched his brows, and sometimes his whole face was about to wrinkle together, which he thought was quite amusing.Thinking in his heart, it turned out that Xiao Yan had such an expression when he was thinking about those difficult problems.
It's really cute, if it wasn't because he didn't understand anything, he would also want to help Xiaoyan solve these problems.
I just want to think so, if he is really asked to do it, he will definitely not be able to do it.Taking a deep breath, watching An Yan doing his own things so quietly, Gu Wei fell asleep by himself.
When An Yan finished his calculations, Gu Weize was still sleeping.He was thinking about whether to wake up Gu Weize, and after thinking about it, it should be the weekend in Huaguo, so there is no need to wake Gu Weize, let him sleep for a while.
After hanging up the video, An Yan washed up and lay down on the bed to sleep.
When Gu Weize woke up, he found that An Yan had hung up the phone in the morning.Thinking that An Yan must be doing her own stuff and staying up late.After thinking about sending an Qiuqiu message to An Yan, he got out of bed refreshed and washed, and then went to have breakfast.
…………
The next day, after An Yan woke up, he saw a message from Gu Weize.With a knowing smile, An Yan put the phone into her trouser pocket, and then opened the curtains.The sun was pouring down, and I squinted my eyes to look at the scenery outside the window for a while.Today is the opening ceremony of the mathematics conference, so it should be very lively.
He didn't stay in the room, washed up and left the hotel for UC Berkeley.When I arrived at Berkeley, there were a lot of people walking up and down the campus.
This was his first time at UC Berkeley, and he was quite curious.Look left and right, everything is very fresh.While An Yan was looking around, someone called his name behind him.
Turning around and taking a look, it was a man with the face of Hua Guo who was waving at him.He speaks Chinese, presumably he is also a Chinese talent.It's just that he doesn't seem to know this one.So he asked a little puzzled, "Who are you?" An Yan looked curiously at the person in front of him.
This man, who looks in his 40s, seems to be a little familiar.He was waving at An Yan, walking to his side, An Yan asked the doubt just now.In his memory, he didn't know the person in front of him. Why this person could recognize him and call him by his name is really strange.When thinking of this, An Yan scratched his head, not understanding why the person in front of him was able to see him at a glance in the crowd, could it be because he was short?
The man smiled at An Yan and said, "Hello, An Yan, I am Yan Kai from the Department of Mathematics of Peking University, and I was invited to attend this mathematics conference. I never expected to meet you at the opening ceremony. "
Yan Kai smiled very kindly, and An Yan immediately had the idea of getting close to this person.
"It's Professor Yan, how did you recognize me?" An Yan still didn't figure it out, even if this is a professor from Peking University, how could he recognize him all at once?This is unscientific, and he doesn't seem to be so famous.This Professor Yan was invited by IMU to attend the mathematics conference, and his academic attainment is not too weak.Otherwise, it is impossible to invite IMU to participate in the mathematics conference, but to come to the conference.
No one is embarrassed to say such things, especially the professors of Peking University.Isn't it because the professor was invited to speak out in a fair manner?
Yan Kai smiled slightly, looked at An Yan, and then said, "I forgot, you have been abroad all this time, and you haven't paid much attention to domestic news."
"Yes!" An Yan nodded, he really didn't pay much attention to domestic news, his own projects were too busy, so how could he have time to pay attention to domestic news.
"You are now a big celebrity in our country. Did you know that the news network has broadcast the news that you won the Heinemann Award?"
"I know this. Although he doesn't know how the news broadcast is broadcasted, he thinks it's only a minute or two. This is a big celebrity. He is not a public figure who often appears in front of the public. , is not a big star, it is simply impossible to say that it is a big celebrity."
"The news broadcast took 15 minutes to report the news of your award. It is very difficult for you not to be famous now."
"Ah!" I thought it would take at most one or two minutes, but I didn't expect it to be so long.An Yan himself was shocked, and said in disbelief, "No way, although the Heinemann Award is an international award, it is not famous."
"Have you become famous not long ago?" Professor Yan Kai shrugged his shoulders, "Because you were not famous before because no Chinese people got this award, and now you are famous in China because you really won this award. But that's fine, domestic It’s time to rectify the ethos, everything can be entertained, but it’s actually quite dangerous.”
An Yan did not speak, and quietly waited for Professor Yan Kai to continue.
"You said that you appear on the news network for 15 minutes. Is it difficult for me to forget you?"
"Not really." An Yan muttered, "Why did it take so long to broadcast my story?"
"It's not because the domestic atmosphere has been distorted. Now the higher-ups want to rectify this atmosphere, and the clown is in charge. It's just that they haven't found a typical example. You won the Heinemann Award and naturally entered the sight of the higher-ups. .With such a good example like you, how could it be possible that the higher-ups don’t use it.”
"This is a good opportunity to publicize, and it doesn't take much effort. Your achievements have already been recognized internationally, and you still have some reputation in the international academic circle. Isn't it the best role model for young people?" Yan Kai Shen said this, with an inscrutable expression on his face, "Not only now, but what achievements you have in the future will still be on the news network."
"It's still very good for you."
"Ah!" Isn't being on the news broadcast a public execution?How could it be good for him? Why didn't he feel that it was good for him?
"If you think about it, you can be regarded as an officially recognized scientist. If you want to return to China in the future, it will be a very simple matter. I believe that there are countless schools vying to get you. And the conditions offered Certainly not low, you are an officially recognized scientist, and your background is the official of the entire Huaguo, do you think it will be of any benefit to you?"
"As long as you don't make any mistakes in principle, I believe that no one will dare to say anything bad about you in Huaguo."
"Walking sideways, wouldn't that be a crab?" An Yan scratched his head and said, "I really haven't thought about it, thank you Professor Yan Kai for reminding me."
It is equivalent to saying that he has to pay attention to every word and deed in the future.Otherwise, it may set a bad example for the young people, which is also part of the behavior of using the young people in Huaguo to restrain An Yan.This is mutual, and the official may not have thought of this level when he first started promoting him.
However, after a wide range of teenagers accepted the personality of An Yan's scientist, An Yan had to be cautious in his words and deeds, and had to make higher achievements to convince the teenagers in Huaguo more of the 90's that was pushed up by the government. After example.If he makes any mistakes, he may be backlashed.
Fortunately, apart from Gu Weize, An Yan now only has to study.Of course, it is impossible to give some people a chance to attack him, Yan Kai raised his brows and looked at An Yan with a relaxed expression and said, "Have you figured out what I just told you?"
"Well, figured it out."
"Then you are still so relaxed, as expected of you!"
"Then even if I have a mournful face, it won't help."
"I heard that you are going to Stanford University after the math conference. How do you feel about it?"
"What do you think? I went to Stanford to study, not to be a professor."
"Based on your current knowledge, it is actually enough to be a professor. There is no problem at all with a doctoral student."
"But I just graduated from college."
"I also read your graduation thesis, nonlinear partial differential limit equations, how did your brain come up with it? You can imagine it, and you really did it. When I first read your thesis, I thought it was quite nonsense. Yes, the more I read it, the more it seems nonsense. But in the end, I was convinced by your thesis. Especially in terms of calculation, I never thought that you could actually use the homogeneous balance method to do it."
"Hey, I also want to thank Academician Lin. If Academician Lin hadn't explained it to me, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to make it."
"Have you ever thought about solving a mathematical conjecture? Like the NS equation or something? Oh, yes, you are in physics. How about the Yang-Mills equation? Interested?"
"Actually, there are two I am interested in now, one is the Hilbert space."
"Hilbert space is good. When you were at the University of Zurich, your professor was studying quantum mechanics, right?"
"Yes!"
"Then the Hilbert space can just test your level of mathematics and quantum mechanics. How about another one?"
"There is another NP-complete problem." An Yan smiled at Yan Kai.
Yan Kai looked at An Yan in astonishment, what the hell is the NP problem? Isn't that a problem in informatics?Why do you suddenly want to study informatics?This thing has almost nothing to do with physics, how could An Yan want to solve this problem.
"It's unbelievable." Seeing Professor Yan Kai's stunned look, An Yan smiled and said, "When I first thought of this question, I thought it was a bit unbelievable that I, a student majoring in physics, wanted to solve the problem. This is an NP-complete problem."
"However, this is a difficult problem in mathematics and informatics, and it is one of the seven major problems of the millennium. It is quite difficult. Are you sure you really want to solve this problem?" Professor Yan Kai still didn't believe it. , An Yan really wanted to solve the NP complete problem, took a deep breath and said, "I don't have any research on this problem, but I'm very curious about why you are interested in this problem."
"Probably the twin prime number conjecture. As you know, number theory itself is somewhat intersected with informatics."
"Yes." Professor Yan Kai nodded slightly. What An Yan said was not wrong. Number theory itself is applied to informatics.
"So after I solved the twin prime number conjecture, I have been thinking about another problem in informatics, whether it can be solved. I may not be able to solve it, but I can try to find a way, maybe I can solve it? "
"If you can really solve NP-complete problems, then you will definitely be the next Fields Medal winner." Professor Yan Kai is actually not very optimistic about An Yan's solution to NP-complete problems, the seven major mathematical conjectures of the millennium One, it has been determined that the difficulty of this thing is very high.Even the threshold for connecting to this problem is very high, just like his senior professor of mathematics at Peking University, he just barely touched the threshold for understanding this kind of problem.
Of course, almost all mathematical conjectures are prepared for mathematical geniuses. Professor Yan Kai does not deny that An Yan himself is a mathematical genius.But this person's study time is only a few years, let him be a genius and use his mind.There is always a lack of accumulation of knowledge, and to unlock this thing, not only a genius is enough, but also the accumulation of knowledge.
It's like building a building. It is impossible to build a building without laying the foundation.The same is true for unraveling mathematical conjectures.It is completely impossible to unravel mathematical conjectures without profound knowledge accumulation.
This is why Professor Yan Kai was particularly surprised when he heard that An Yan wanted to solve NP-complete problems.
But it is impossible for Professor Yan Kai to persuade An Yan.People like An Yan, especially geniuses, are very stubborn, and it is impossible to listen to his persuasion.Not to mention An Yan, just take him as an example, if anyone wants to persuade him, it will be useless at all.It is impossible for him to listen to other people's persuasion, what a joke, why should I listen to your opinion, I think I can do it, and I can do it.
"Cough cough!" Professor Yan Kai coughed lightly, and said to An Yan, "Look, we've been chatting for a while, the opening ceremony should start soon, right?"
The opening ceremony was held in the auditorium. From the appearance of Professor Yan Kai, he seems to be quite familiar with UC Berkeley.An Yan asked cautiously, "Professor, you seem to be quite familiar with this place."
Professor Yan Kai said with a smile, "It can't be said that I am very familiar with it, but I have held several meetings here, so I have some understanding of the situation here."
Seeing the people walking on the road, almost all of them quickened their pace, An Yan also said, "It should be about to start now, I think everyone is walking a lot faster."
"It should be." The professor nodded slightly, "Let's go too."
When I came to the auditorium, it was almost overcrowded, and the people who entered the auditorium were all mathematicians.So everyone's seats were almost random, and An Yan and Professor Yan Kai sat in front of the auditorium's gate.Although they came a bit late, they were not considered the last to arrive.
Sit in a chair and listen to the people on stage talking.Neither Yan Kai nor An Yan continued to chat, and after a while, another person sat down next to An Yan.When An Yan turned his head to look, he realized that it was Roger sitting next to him.He was also stunned for a moment, looked at Roger and said, "Brother Roger, why did you arrive so late."
Roger said as if he didn't sleep, "The party was too late yesterday, and I overslept. Ann, this opening ceremony hasn't started long, has it? If the professor knows that I missed the opening ceremony, he will give me—" As he spoke, Roger made a gesture of wiping his neck.
An Yan shook her head and said, "Not long after the beginning."
"That's good."
After watching the opening ceremony, the mathematics conference was officially held.The theme of this mathematics conference is the future direction of mathematics. In this area, An Yan has no right to speak and does not intend to speak.Sitting in the auditorium, watching the group of professors talking about their ideas to each other.He was a little drowsy, it would be great if he could do the questions at this time, An Yan thought in his heart.
Looking at An Yan's appearance, Yan Kai knew that he would definitely not listen.To be honest, no one knows the future direction of mathematics, maybe there is
