"Bill's conjecture?"
Tang Xiu looked at the blueprint that appeared in his mind. It was densely filled with various formulas and numbers. At first glance, he thought that he was reading a heavenly book.
Tang Xiu naturally knew the content of this conjecture. After all, what was more famous than the conjecture itself was the 1 million USD bounty on its body!
In June last year, the American Mathematics Society announced on their website that the reward for Bill's conjecture had been raised to one million US dollars, making it another mathematical conjecture that was worth millions after Goldbach's conjecture and the Millennium Seven Problems.
Before we talk about Bill's conjecture, we have to mention Fermat's last theorem!
This was a conjecture proposed by the 17th century French mathematician Pierre de Fermat.
It asserted that when the number is n2, the equation x^n y^n=z^n for x,y,z has no positive integral solution.
It was a short sentence, and it seemed very simple. It gave people the illusion that he could do it himself.
But in fact, someone had offered a reward of 100,000 marks for this conjecture. If the price of money was inflated, this money would be worth more than a million dollars today.
Just like that, it was proven by mathematician Andrew Wiles in 1995.
Bill's conjecture was a conjecture proposed by a self-taught banker, D. Andrew Bill, after studying Fermat's last theorem.
The content was: Let A,B,C,x,y, and z be positive numbers, and x,y, and z were all greater than 2. If A^x B^y=C^z, then A,B, and C must have a common factor, where A^x represents the x power of A.
It was the same question that had troubled countless mathematicians.
Although it was just a general extension of Fermat's last theorem, it was no less difficult than it. Even though a year had passed, the mathematics community still had no progress on this conjecture.
As for the practical significance of proving Bill's conjecture?
It could only be said that basic mathematics was built from bricks. You couldn't dwell on the meaning of a single brick. You had to look at the sturdy foundation that was formed by all the bricks. It was the foundation that all other disciplines were built on.
Tang Xiu looked at the piece of paper floating in his mind. It couldn't be materialized in the real world, but as long as Tang Xiu wanted to see it, it would appear and show the series of proof processes.
"I don't understand!"
After a brief glance, Tang Xiu retreated.
With his level three mathematics skills, he was unable to fully understand this level of mathematics problem.
Even if he published it now, he wouldn't be able to deal with others who came to discuss the process with him. If that happened, he would be exposed very quickly.
Not only would the million-dollar bonus be gone, but his reputation and future would also be ruined at the same time.
"I can't publish it for the time being!"
After thinking for a while, Tang Xiu made a decision,
"At the very least, I have to thoroughly understand all the knowledge points in university mathematics. By then, my mathematics level should reach level four. Only then will I have the foundation to write this thesis and have the confidence to accept the doubts of the outside world.”
After thinking about it, Tang Xiu put the blueprint in the corner of his mind and picked up the physics book from the side to continue reading.
"Beep, flipping through physics books, physics experience 1!”
Uniform linear motion, interaction, Newton's laws of motion, curved motion, universal gravity, and the law of conservation of energy were all mastered!
"Beep, flipping through physics books, physics experience 1!”
Electrostatic field, constant current, magnetic field, electromagnetic induction, alternating current, laws of energetics, mechanical waves, wave-particle dualism, and other knowledge points were memorized by heart!
"Beep! Physical experience is full. Upgrading automatically!”
"Beep, upgrade complete. Congratulations to the host for upgrading to level 2!”
……
"Beep, solved a problem, physics experience 1!”
He finished writing "May 3 Training (Physics)" and scored full marks for all the mock college entrance examination questions.
"Beep, solved a problem, physics experience 1!”
The questions in the Physics Olympiad were just so-so, but the real questions in the college entrance examination were a piece of cake.
"Beep! Physical experience is full. Upgrading automatically!”
"Beep, upgrade complete. Congratulations to the host for upgrading to level 3!”
Looking at another mountain that he had conquered, Tang Xiu heaved a sigh of relief and smiled contentedly.
Only now did he know how happy learning was. Watching difficult problems being defeated by his own pen was like playing a game and killing people crazily.
Many people felt sleepy when they studied because they could not understand the contents of the books at all.
If the knowledge in the textbooks was like a novel game that could be understood at a glance and easy to learn, then they would naturally be immersed in the obsession of reading non-stop and solving questions endlessly.
"Beep, congratulations to the host for reaching level 3 in physics. You are rewarded with a chance to draw a lottery in the mall!”
The system's prompt sounded on time. Tang Xiu rubbed his hands and thought for a while. He then went to the bathroom to wash his face and hands three times in a row.
Then, he suppressed his excitement and gently pressed the lottery button.
The slot machine spun quickly.
"Hurry up and stop!”
The spinning wheel slowed down and slowly stopped.
"Beep, congratulations to the host for drawing a blueprint item!”
"Blueprint obtained-10mn crystal process!”
