Chapter 295: Superman from Huaxia

Liu Meng curiously took the newspaper in Xixi's hand, only to see that the entire page of the newspaper was reporting one thing, the huge headline: Superman from China won the crown jewel, Gu Pan also walked behind Liu Meng and read it with him.

Number theory is one of the oldest branches of mathematics, and in the new century, the popularization and development of electronic computers have made this discipline even more important, and it is one of the research fields that has always been active today. In this treasure trove of history, there are many fascinating treasures waiting to be discovered. If Fermat's theorem is a brilliant gem, then Goldbach's conjecture is undoubtedly a jewel in the crown.

For more than 300 years, many excellent mathematicians have put a lot of effort into proving this theorem, but none of them have achieved ultimate success. After nearly two years of painstaking research, Professor Liu Meng, a genius mathematician in China, finally succeeded after twists and turns, fulfilling his childhood dream and finally leaving this great honor in China. The significance of his work is not only to prove Goldbach's conjecture, but more importantly, the ideas and methods in it have greatly enriched and developed the discipline of number theory, and even promoted the development of mathematics in a certain sense, which may be the value of Mingzhu.

This newspaper will take the Goldbach conjecture as the core, trace its origin, birth and development, describe many moving stories that have taken place in the mathematical community in search of its proof over the long years, show the perseverance and dedication of mathematicians in the pursuit of scientific truth, and introduce a lot of interesting and intriguing mathematical knowledge related to proof. Some of the great heroes in the history of mathematics are vividly displayed in front of us, and they have their own joys and sorrows, failures and successes just like ordinary people, and what makes them extraordinary and famous in the history books is their scientific spirit of striving for excellence, fearless of hardships and never giving up.

There is no smooth road to go in science, and only those who are not afraid of hard work on the rugged path can hope to reach the peak of glory.

……

Liu Meng probably swept the entire page, a little strange, has the cross-examination of Goldbach's conjecture been completed? Why did you just say what Goldbach conjecture, thinking of this, I hurriedly logged in to the email to see, and sure enough, there were a lot of emails in it, many of which were small flaws found by the audit team sent by Wiles and Tao Zhexuan, and then there were small flaws that they had proved that these small flaws did not exist, and the last one was sent by Wiles, saying that Goldbach's conjecture had been proved to be completely correct, and it was released first, as for the subsequent Riemann conjecture, the hesitation proof process was written too concisely, and I am afraid it would take a certain amount of time to cross-examine, and asked Liu Meng if he could provide a detailed proof process。

Liu Meng sent a very rare email back to Wiles, saying: "Although the method applied by the Riemann conjecture is similar to the Goldbach conjecture, the way of thinking in it is too ingenious to be described in too many detailed steps, and this most concise and beautiful method will prove to be the best." ”

Liu Meng looked at the email, Xi Xi followed and looked at it curiously, closed the computer after finishing it, and asked with a smile: "What? Are you interested in these?" Xi Xi nodded heavily, Liu Meng found the paper and pen and drew a right triangle casually, marked the three sides as XYZ, and asked, "Do you know what the relationship between these three sides is in number theory?"

Xi Xi tilted his head and thought about it, as if he had some impressions, and suddenly exclaimed, "I know, I know, the sum of the squares of the two right-angled sides is equal to the big hypotenuse, right?"

Liu Meng was quite surprised, he didn't expect this child to understand some basic knowledge of mathematics at such a young age, probably taught by Gu Pan, most of the books of American children are cognitive in nature, and they will inevitably mention the origin of Pythagoras and mathematics, it is not strange for primary school students to understand these, but Xi Xi is indeed too young, Gu Pan was preparing breakfast, heard the conversation between father and son, and said with a smile: "Xi Xi probably inherited your mathematical talent, and he knew basic algorithms very early, so I bought some interest books for primary school students to teach him." ”

"So why is the sum of the squares of two right-angled sides equal to the great hypotenuse, and how can it be proved?"

Xi Xi thought for a moment, took a ruler and smiled, "We can measure the length of the three sides and verify if this is the result." ”

"But if you change to another triangle, you can't measure a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, or even tens of billions of them to verify, and this is just a method of verification, so for an infinite number of right triangles, how can you prove that they are all satisfied?"

This stumped Xiao Xixi, Liu Meng handed him the paper and pen, and encouraged: "This is a small problem, Dad believes that you will be able to solve it, okay?" Xixi nodded heavily, and immediately wrote and drew on the paper very obsessively, and Liu Meng got up and sat breakfast with Gu Pan.

After the two of them had breakfast, they called Xixi to eat breakfast, this kid was only fascinated, ignored it, Gu Pan complained: "Look at you, why do you give my son such a problem, I have always been excellent in mathematics since I was a child, and I won't prove this simple Pythagorean theorem, let alone Xixi, who is two and a half years old." ”

Liu Meng smiled and said with confidence: "The most important thing for children is enlightenment, if you teach a few lyrics, you will count a few numbers, and stronger children will add, subtract, multiply and divide, these are useless, if you can learn a way of thinking from an early age, that is the most important thing." ”

Gu Pan admired in his heart, but said on his lips: "You, don't put too much pressure on Xixi, after all, he is only more than two years old, although his parents always hope that their son will become a dragon, but you, the father, give the child too much invisible pressure, if the guidance is not good, it will not be good." ”

Liu Meng naturally understands that there is a parent who is too strong to be able to contact professional training since he was a child, but he is also prone to a sense of powerlessness in his heart, that is, he feels that he can't surpass his parents in any way, and it is easy to give up on himself, so he immediately said with confidence: "I believe that Xixi will be stronger than me in the future, and this child is only two years old and can think of using probability models to win money, haha, I only thought of it last year." ”

Speaking of this, Gu Pan was still very angry, his eyebrows were raised, and he inadvertently revealed the charm of a young woman, "This kind of thing is not more than you." ”

Xi Xi suddenly exclaimed happily, "Dad...... Dad, I know how to prove it. Although Xixi has a good impression of Liu Meng, he suddenly changed from an uncle to a father, he is still a little unaccustomed, Liu Meng is eating, and he is shocked at the moment, this bear child has really come up with it?R1152
