Chapter 349 The So-called Mathematical Thought
"Zhiyuan, your request is too harsh on Ms. Gu!" Professor Odagiri, president of the R country Mathematical Association, angrily scolded.
But there was no trace of blame in his tone.
Su Yi's eyes darkened slightly.
Old Yang stood up and was about to say something to refute the shameless R countryman, but Su Yi chuckled: "Okay, I have no problem."
The whole audience was in an uproar.
Old Yang was stunned.
Then he frowned and said to Su Yi: "Su Yi, it's okay, we won't force it. This is their problem in the first place."
"Yes, Su Yi, Mr. Yang is right. They are not in the right in this matter. They are deliberately trying to embarrass China." Another professor, Luo, also advised.
Su Yi consoled him, "They certainly haven't proven the Goldbach conjecture, otherwise it would have been announced to the public long ago. Professor Yang, professors, I haven't done much research on the Goldbach conjecture recently, but I do have some ideas I had that I can share."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Old Yang frowned and sat down again.
"If they declare war, we will take it. Regardless of how the talks go, at least other countries can see China's attitude. If we avoid talking about it just because of the other party's unkind provocation, it will give people the impression that we are afraid or escaping, which is truly embarrassing." Su Yi said.
Her words resonated with the Chinese people.
Originally, I wanted to speak up for this little girl, but now it seems that they were overly worried. Didn’t they see that the little girl was very calm the whole time?
These old guys couldn't do as well as a young girl. After they figured it out, they couldn't help but blush.
"Well, since we are just discussing ideas, let's talk about it. But this time they took advantage of others' misfortune, which was indeed not fair." Old Yang changed his tone, but his expression still looked a little ugly.
It can be seen that he was really angry.
Su Yi smiled charmingly and said generously, "Since Country R is the host, you may go first. However, I hope we can manage the time. Each person's thoughts on the Goldbach conjecture should be limited to between half an hour and an hour. After all, it's getting late, and we can't have so many of us go hungry at the same time. What do you think?"
This made other invited scholars from Asian countries look at Su with admiration.
Is this Chinese girl really confident or is she just trying to deal with them?
But the answer soon became clear.
Hanyuhara pursed his lips and looked at his teacher, Professor Nakamori, who nodded slightly and gave him a few instructions.
Hanyu Nohara was the first to come on stage to talk about his views and mathematical ideas on the Goldbach conjecture. It can be heard that they are all based on Zhou's conjecture.
It can be seen that their next goal is to overcome the Goldbach conjecture.
The Goldbach conjecture expresses the proposition "Any sufficiently large even number can be expressed as the sum of a number with no more than a prime factors and another number with no more than b prime factors" as "a+b", that is, any even number greater than 2 can be written as the sum of two prime numbers.
Several well-known Chinese mathematicians have studied this conjecture, and in 1966, the famous mathematician Professor Chen proved that "1+2" holds true, that is, "any sufficiently large even number can be expressed as the sum of two prime numbers, or the sum of a prime number and a semi-prime number."
This is the closest proof to the Goldbach conjecture.
Professor Zhang Yuan once asked Su Yi a question: Why are mathematicians nowadays trying so hard to prove one mathematical conjecture after another?
Is it really just for the high prize money behind each guess?
It is true that there may be such reasons, but it definitely only accounts for a small part.
Anyone who can become a mathematician has supreme talent and passion in this field. They want to be strong throughout their lives, and their ultimate goal is only one - to pursue the truth.
With the development of mathematics to modern times, the existing mathematical framework has actually basically become complete. What they need to do now is to improve this mathematical framework by proving these mathematical conjectures step by step, making it more perfect and sophisticated.
In order to prove these conjectures and hypotheses, various mathematical ideas need to be used, such as modeling ideas, limit ideas, the combination of numbers and shapes ideas, functional equation ideas, etc.
Su Yi once read a book that defined "proposition" as a philosophical problem, and the so-called essence is an expression of something or something. Then naturally a concept called "pseudo-proposition" was derived, which generally refers to the disagreement of this premise.
Most truths are in the hands of a few people before they are publicly acknowledged, and the reason why human beings continue to progress is that they constantly raise theoretical questions about this worldview.
Many people have questioned whether the Goldbach conjecture is a true and valid proposition. Su Yi once thought about this question for a long time, and she also doubted the authenticity of these mathematical conjectures.
But it was precisely because of this that she had a new idea.
Through reverse reasoning, a point of view that is completely opposite to the original idea is proposed with the idea of a false proposition, and the cross-correlations are found, and then the original point of view is proved through this intersection.
