MIT, in the classroom.

​​

At the end of a class, apart from Lu Zhou's relaxed expression, the rest of the people were scratching their heads.

​​

No matter what, Professor Stephen is a Turing Award winner. Although the lecturers are lively, they are unavoidable.

​​

Just when Professor Stephen packed up his things and was about to leave, he was suddenly stopped by Lu Zhou.

​​

"Professor Stephen."

​​

"Well? What's wrong, Lu?" Stephen stopped and asked gently.

​​

"Professor, I want to learn about Goldbach's conjecture from you." Lu Zhou looked serious, not joking at all.

​​

The cause of the matter is still related to the conversation with Professor Edward the night before.

​​

He basically completed the content of undergraduate and graduate mathematics in self-study, just like this time, in order to prove the problem of [x^3+y^3+z^3=33], his fighting spirit was radiated.

​​

He believes that challenges are a better way to learn.

​​

Instead of studying step by step, it is better to take a sword.

​​

And Professor Edward's Goldbach conjecture, Riemann conjecture, Hodge conjecture, etc., which Professor Edward said casually at that time, Lu Zhou checked it after he went back, and found that it was quite interesting.

​​

In the current mathematics world, among the unsolved problems, the most famous ones are the “Three Major Mathematical Conjectures in the World” and “The Seven Major Mathematical Problems in the World”.

​​

The three major mathematical conjectures in the world are Fermat's conjecture, four-color conjecture and Goldbach's conjecture.

​​

Among them, Fermat's conjecture was proved by British mathematician Andrew Wiles in 1994, so it was called Fermat's last theorem; the four-color conjecture was proved by American mathematicians Appel and Haken in 1976, so it was called the four-color theorem .

​​

Only the Goldbach conjecture has not been proven.

​​

The world's seven major mathematical problems, also known as "millennium problems", are: np complete problem, Hodge conjecture, Poincaré conjecture, Riemann conjecture (also known as Riemann hypothesis), Yang-Mills existence and mass gap , the Navier-Stoke equation, the bsd conjecture.

​​

Among them, only the Poincaré conjecture was proved by the Russian mathematician Perelman.

​​

Among the seven unsolved problems in mathematics, Lu Zhou is most interested in Goldbach's conjecture and Riemann's conjecture.

​​

He plans to try Goldbach's conjecture first.

​​

"Goldbach's conjecture?" Professor Stephen was slightly stunned, looked at Lu Zhou, and said doubtfully, "Of course I know this, but... Lu, why are you asking this?"

​​

Lu Zhou replied truthfully: "I was a little interested in hearing Professor Edward mention this before."

​​

"This is a bit interesting, what does it mean?"

​​

A ridiculous thought suddenly appeared in Professor Stephen's mind.

​​

Isn't Lu Zhou trying to prove Goldbach's conjecture?

​​

as expected.

​​

"Professor Stephen, I want to try it out."

​​

Then, Lu Zhou said sincerely to Professor Stephen: "I know it seems a little over-the-top, but I still want to try it. I want to ask you, if I plan to solve the Goldbach conjecture, what should I strengthen? study, and can you give me some advice?"

​​

Seeing Lu Zhou admit it himself, Professor Stephen was still shocked. As for the little guys in the classroom who were eavesdropping, they were so dumbfounded that they couldn't close their mouths.

​​

However, Professor Stephen's reaction surprised Lu Zhou.

​​

"Lu, I don't think you're overpowering, on the contrary, I support you. You are very talented and young. Who stipulated that you must be a certain age to prove Goldbach's conjecture? I don't think so, so, There's nothing wrong with that." Professor Stephen shrugged and said with a smile.

​​

On Lu's body, he saw his student.

​​

In those days, Chen was so bold to challenge seemingly impossible goals.

​​

When you are young, you should not shrink back, you must have a fighting spirit to move forward.

​​

What's more, mathematics is a field that eats talents.

​​

What is needed is 99% talent + 1% sweat.

​​

Stephen didn't think there was anything wrong with Lu Zhou's idea.

​​

Perhaps, Lu Zhou can really prove Goldbach's conjecture, and maybe it's impossible.

​​

Afterwards, Professor Stephen gave Lu Zhou some suggestions in great detail, and Lu Zhou listened quietly.

​​

Ten minutes later, Professor Stephen patted Lu Zhou on the shoulder.

​​

"Well, I'll take some time today to sort out the information about Goldbach's conjecture and send it to your mailbox. Come on, Lu."

​​

Lu Zhou's face was moved and he said gratefully: "Dear Professor Stephen, thank you very much for your help to me, thank you!"

​​

As soon as Professor Stephen left, Zheng Tianyu, Zhang Lei and other friends gathered around.

​​

Several people's eyes lit up, as if they saw Tang Seng's monster in Journey to the West.

​​

"Elbow, the bull is Plath! This is Goldbach's conjecture, let alone trying to prove it, I don't even dare to think about it!"

​​

"Lu Zhou666, if this can really be proven, I'm afraid it will be a direct doctorate degree?"

​​

"PhD? Nanako, are you too low? I'm afraid this is a direct Fields Medal + full professor at the university?!"

​​

"I think it's okay to get an academician."

​​

Compared to the chattering voices of a group of people, Zheng Tianyu's consciousness can still stay awake.

​​

He asked with concern: "Elder, how's your paper?"

​​

"I posted it before going out in the morning." Lu Zhou replied.

​​

"Huh? It was published so soon? Isn't it only a matter of months for the submission process?" Zheng Tianyu's eyes widened, did he hear it wrong?

​​

After Lu Zhou explained the arxiv website, Zheng Tianyu and the others understood.

​​

"Elder, what journal are you going to submit to?"

​​

"Years of Mathematics, when it was listed on arxiv, it was also submitted."

​​

"Oh, this journal is okay, wait!" Zheng Tianyu woke up suddenly, his eyelids jumping even more.

​​

"Which "Annual of Mathematics" is it? It won't be... one of the four great journals, right?"

​​

"Well, Professor Edward of Princeton didn't think it was a big problem, so he voted."

​​

Zheng Tianyu: "..."

​​

Zhang Lei: "..."

​​

Other friends without names: "..."

​​

This...why is the gap between people so big?

​​

In the same school, UU reading is the same age, and as a result, everyone has submitted their articles to the "Mathematics Annual", one of the four major journals of mathematics. Good guy, will you still have it in the future? !

​​

Before everyone heard that Lu Zhou was going to prove Goldbach's conjecture, it was courageous, but now...the clown turned out to be me?

​​

Since that Princeton professor said so, it shouldn't be a big problem.

​​

Thinking that Lu Zhou's undergraduate papers have been published in the four major journals, it seems that it is not impossible to solve the famous Goldbach conjecture in a few years?

​​

"Boss, do you still need a pendant for your thighs? I can warm the bed~"

​​

"Calling the big guy is too awesome. These are the four great magazines!"

​​

"It's sour, I don't think I'll be able to post it in the "Mathematics Annual" once in my generation..."

​​

Several young men said enviously, as for jealousy, there is no such thing as hatred.

​​

The gap is really too big, only admiration.

​​

And just when everyone was talking about it, the news that x^3+y^3+z^3=33 was proven suddenly became popular on the Internet in Europe and America.

​​

The reason is that Professor Gowers, a Fields Medal winner and British mathematician, sent a tweet, and Professor Edward of Princeton University in the United States also released a similar tweet.

​​

The global mathematics community was instantly shaken!
