Ultimate Scholar

As the bell rang, the first class in Li Mu's life ended.

Judging from the teaching effect, using an unsolved problem to gradually lead students into interest in number theory, this class can be called a success.

At least, in the whole class, all the mathematics majors were attracted by Li Mu's narration.

Even students from other majors can listen to them as long as they have a certain foundation in mathematics, such as those majoring in physics.

Of course, the most fundamental reason is that the content Li Mu described in this class is not particularly difficult, but only the basic part of undergraduate number theory. In addition, these students present are all top students, so they absorb knowledge The speed is also very fast.

With the end of the class, nearly half of the students present did not leave, but continued to stay in the classroom, discussing and thinking about the problem just now.

Of course, the students have gained something, and as a teacher, Li Mu also gained something in this class.

Sitting in front of the podium, he took out the scratch paper and began to make calculations based on the inspiration that came to him in class.

"The Boltzmann equation..."

As a classical equation in statistical physics, the Boltzmann equation does not perform statistical analysis on the position and momentum of each particle in the fluid, but only considers a group of particles that simultaneously occupy an arbitrary small area in space and center at the end of the position vector particle.

In other words, the scope of its consideration should be more general.

From a certain point, this is also the most suitable for Li Mu's needs, because this point has a very high degree of fit with his Li's space.

However, the degree of fit is not enough, it must be able to help Li Mu solve the Navier-Stokes equation, the problem of the partial differential equation.

"If you start from the direction of number theory..."

Li Mu narrowed his eyes slightly.

The computer in his mind began to work crazily, helping him to make deduction and at the same time help him find various possible inspirations.

And soon, he had a direction. In fact, during the class just now, he had a new idea.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and the tip of his pen began to move.

"The biggest advantage of the Boltzmann equation is that it does not consider the case of a single particle, but the biggest disadvantage is also here. In this way, the things it considers are relatively not detailed enough."

"And if it can not only take advantage of its overall consideration, but also make up for its shortcomings in details, then this equation can become more perfect."

"So, next, I just need to..."

It didn't take much time, just a little while, and a piece of draft paper was filled with formulas.

In this way, his calculation gradually entered the state.

And just as he was calculating, Wiles, who had just finished watching the whole class, came up behind him.

They all had amazement on their faces, because Li Mu's first class after becoming a teacher was incredible. \b

It's not like the first class of a new teacher, it's like a familiar one.

How can anyone start showing off their skills in the first class? \b

"Li Mu, you still said you can't take classes!"

After walking forward, Richter couldn't help but say something.

It's just that Li Mu didn't raise his head, and continued with the calculation in hand.

Richter thought that Li Mu didn't hear it, and just as he was about to shout again, Wiles suddenly reached out to stop him and said, "Shhh, don't talk yet, Li Mu seems to be thinking about other key issues right now."

Several professors were taken aback.

Li Mu, what problem are you studying again?

They walked forward quietly, stood behind Li Mu and took a look.

"Hmm... that seems like physics?" asked another professor.

"Mathematical physics, we all know that Li Mu is also a top theoretical physicist." Richter said with a smile.

However, compared to their discussion, Wiles frowned.

"Wait, Li Mu seems to be studying...fluid mechanics?"

"Fluid mechanics?"

Several people were taken aback.

People who study mathematics, of course, know what fluid mechanics is. After all, after switching from mathematics to physics, quite a few people started to study fluid mechanics, including Tao Terence, who also did research on fluid mechanics.

In a way, the current research on fluid mechanics can be regarded as a complete mathematical problem. \b

The ultimate goal of all mathematicians who study this aspect is to impact the Navier-Stokes equation, the ultimate problem of classical physics.

So, almost immediately, they guessed that Li Mu was trying to solve this problem!

Richter was startled suddenly, he remembered one thing.

"In July, the International Congress of Mathematicians is coming, and Li Mu is one of the speakers of the plenary meeting. Could it be..."

His eyes showed surprise: "Is this his purpose?"

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and immediately looked at Li Muyang in disbelief. \b

Li Mu, intends to attack the Navier-Stokes equation before the International Congress of Mathematicians?

Just when they were amazed, Li Mu's hand that kept counting on the draft paper suddenly stopped at this moment, and his brows frowned slightly.

After a while, he shook his head, put away the pen, and put the cap back on.

After raising his head, he finally noticed the professors surrounding him.

He was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Professor Wiles, Professor Richter, and Professor David...I didn't expect you to come to my class."

Wiles said with a smile: "After all, this is the first class in your life as a teacher. As your former teacher, of course I have to come and take a look."

Richter next to him immediately rolled his eyes and exposed him: "You obviously came here because of the news about queuing up for class. Before you came, you were surprised that Li Mu started class today."

Everyone laughed out loud.

Wiles waved his hand indifferently and said, "Don't care about these details."

Then, he looked at Li Mu again.

"You're... studying fluid dynamics? Is it the Navier-Stokes equation? The millennium problem?"

After Wiles asked the question, the others stopped talking and turned to look at Li Mu, waiting for his answer.

And Li Mu didn't hide it, nodded and said, "Yes."

"At the International Congress of Mathematicians?"

Li Mu nodded again: "Yes."

Now, Wiles and the others couldn't help but gasp.

Good guy.

This mathematical conjecture smasher, is now going to attack another difficult problem? \b

And it is one of the seven great mathematical problems of the millennium.

Perhaps it is not as famous as Goldbach's conjecture in terms of popularity, but in a practical sense, as well as for the significance of the mathematics and physics circles, the proof of this problem is very huge.

The solution of this problem can not only help researchers related to fluid mechanics to conduct analysis in reality, so as to help human life, but also represents the end of the last problem of classical physics.

"Are you sure?" Wiles asked again.

Li Mu thought for a moment, finally nodded, and said with a smile: "If you asked me before this class, I might say that I am not very sure, but after this class, I want to say that I am already very sure gone."

"There are still 4 months left before the start of the International Congress of Mathematicians, this time is enough."

"Four months..." Wiles said: "I remember that the original report of the International Congress of Mathematicians must be sent at least three months in advance? So, strictly speaking, you only have one month left."

Li Mu frowned, and said with a smile: "Although the plenary report will last for an hour, this time is not enough for me to talk about it."

"So I'll probably tell the story separately."

"As for the specific situation, it depends on the IMU at that time, whether you are willing to give this face."

Li Mu smiled slightly.

What he said caused some doubts among the people present.

Does the IMU give you face?

IMU is the International Mathematical Union, but why do you want to watch this kind of thing now?

However, Wiles remembered something, and then he stretched out his hand with a smile, patted Li Mu's shoulder, and said, "I think they will definitely give you this face."

"Okay, then, you should be very busy, so we won't bother you anymore, and look forward to your performance at the International Congress of Mathematicians."
