In the afternoon, Mr. Ishida told Sagawa Yan to meet someone at 8 p. m. to bring his thesis and prepare for it.
"It seems like that's the person who Teacher thinks can help me.”
She was a little curious as to who it could be.
Time passed quickly. It was 7:30 pm.
Sagawa Yan sat in Ishida's car." Mr. Ishida, it's time for you to tell me who we're going to visit."”
Ishida, who was dressed very formally today, was driving in the driver's seat. He replied," That's a famous mathematician in our Cherry Blossom Nation, a professor at Toto University.”
"If it weren't for the fact that your teacher was once a student of Dongdu University, ordinary people wouldn't have been able to meet him.”
But you still haven't told me who he is, Sagawa Yan thought to himself.
" He is Mr. Goro Shimura." Ishida said this name with an unusual admiration.
Sagawa Yan suddenly realized that it was him.
He had seen this name in a book before. He was indeed a very famous mathematician and an honorary professor at Princeton University. The Taniyama-Shimura conjecture was very famous in the modern mathematics world.
Ishida's Toyota drove steadily and quickly. They arrived at their destination in an hour.
" We're here." Sagawa looked at the place in front of him. It was hard to imagine that such a simple place was Goro Shimura's residence.
"How is it? Do you feel that the master is focused on mathematics and doesn't care about material things?”
"No, I feel that studying mathematics is a dead end. I can't even afford a house.”
Ishida: "???"
" I'm just joking," Sagawa said with a smile.
However, it was also a part of his true feelings. As an ordinary person with strong desires, he liked material enjoyment, money, and beautiful women. He could not stand such a simple life.
The two of them stood at the door and knocked.
" They're here." A gentle old man's voice was heard.
The sound of slippers stepping on the floor came closer.
A kind-looking old man opened the door.
"Teacher, sorry to disturb you."
Ishida bowed respectfully.
"Oh, welcome. This must be Sagawa-san, the handsome young man you've been telling me about.”
" Master Shimura, sorry to disturb you." Sagawa Yan bowed as well. In the three years he had transmigrated, he was already used to the courtesy of the people of Sakura Kingdom.
The three of them went to the living room together.
"Then let's get straight to the point. Where's the thesis?”
Goro Shimura quickly got into the zone, and his kind face became extremely serious. He had always been so serious about mathematics.
" Sagawa, paper," Ishida said.
"Master, please take a look."
Sagawa Yan handed over the thesis.
"Mersenne prime distribution law? I remember that your graduation thesis was related to Mersenne prime numbers.”
Ishida was very excited." Hey, I didn't expect you to still remember my oral defense. My research on Mersenne prime numbers is too shallow. It can't even compare to my student. His talent is the best among the children I've taught.”
Goro Shimura didn't comment and focused on reading the thesis.
As he read, he frowned. Compared to Ishida, who was of average skill, his sensitivity to numbers was much higher. Just by comparing the few examples he had listed with the patterns he had summarized, he felt that there was a chance.
" Come in with me. I have to take a good look." Goro Shimura called the two of them into the study.
It was hard to tell from the outside, but the study room was well-equipped. There was a large retro blackboard with a lot of chalk below, a bookshelf full of books, and a large desk.
"Take a look around. I'm getting old. This thesis is worth studying.”
As he spoke, Master Shimura ignored their reactions. He sat in front of the table and began to read the thesis in detail.
" Master Shimura has always been like this," Ishida explained." When he was teaching our class number theory, the teacher would immediately enter the state of scientific research when he thought of something.”
" Understood, understood." Sagawa Yan looked through the bookshelves and saw that they were all mathematics books. He took out a book on mathematical principles of natural science and read it with great interest. As Newton's work, this book had always been highly respected by scholars.
Ishida looked at Master Shimura, who was focused, and Sagawa, who was engrossed in his book. He seemed to understand why they could solve difficult problems while he could only become a math teacher.
The hands on the clock were still ticking, but the three people in the study were very quiet.
When the clock turned 12 o'clock and reached the position of 1, Goro Shimura seemed to have woken up from a dream." Sorry, sorry. I forgot everything when I saw something I was interested in.”
Sagawa Yan also looked up from the book and said in admiration," Master Shimura, the notes you made in this book have really benefited me."”
It turned out that every page of this mathematical theory book had Master Shimura's notes. The notes even contained the master's thoughts at that time.
"If you can learn something, then my notes won't be wasted.”
Goro Shimura was very gratified. At his age, there was nothing more gratifying than seeing the new generation of talents in the Cherry Blossom Kingdom grow up.
"Back to the thesis. After reading this semi-finished thesis, I'm really starting to doubt whether it was really written by a high school student. If I didn't know that there were no similar mathematics papers published in our country, I would have thought that this was plagiarism.”
"For this, I want to give you a small test. Are you willing to accept it?”
