The discussion about Ding Zhiqiang is just an episode.

When Wang Hao explained the function in depth, everyone focused on the complex functions on the blackboard.

"Related to the distribution of prime numbers?"

"Deduced from the Riemann function and the fourth degree equation..."

"There must be something special about it?"

Everyone present had an in-depth study of mathematics, and from the perspective of a mathematician, the functions on the blackboard were indeed very ugly.

Mathematicians all like to appreciate the beauty of mathematics, and they also believe that the mathematical laws contained in everything in the universe are beautiful.

The beauty of mathematics is actually very simple to understand.

You can understand with an example.

For example:

The beauty of this corresponding graph also reflects that the equation itself is of great research value.

Mathematicians can constantly change the equations to get other graphics, or other things.

Let’s analyze another equation: 5X (square) 9y (cubic) 4.39=9.47.

This equation is still a binary cubic equation, but obviously, it is difficult to say that it has "beautiful" characteristics.

It is also a binary cubic equation, and the geometric figure it corresponds to is much less beautiful than the former. It also brings another problem. It is difficult to make other transformations to the equation.

In other words, not only is the beauty of mathematics missing, but the difficulty of research has also increased exponentially.

That's the problem.

After Wang Hao got the conclusion, he felt that the function did not have the beauty of mathematics. Later, after seeing Ding Zhiqiang, he thought about the problem of prime number distribution.

Do prime numbers have a "beautiful" rule?

Hard to say.

At least within the known range, even if the law of prime numbers can be found, the law itself is far from the beauty of mathematics.

He has been able to determine that the function must contain some mystery, and it must be related to the distribution of prime numbers, at least to the level of the Riemann Hypothesis.

Even if it doesn’t have the beauty of mathematics, so what?

Connotation is also very important!

…

If someone else said that such a function that does not meet the beauty of mathematics contains very important significance and is even related to the distribution of prime numbers, they would definitely be refuted by a large group of people.

This is true for everyone here.

The more in-depth you study mathematics, the more you will become obsessed with the beauty of mathematics.

However, Wang Hao is very authoritative.

In today's international mathematics community, Wang Hao is the first person in the fields of analytic number theory and partial differential equations. He also made significant contributions to the field of theoretical physics. He single-handedly created annihilation physics and became the first theory among physicists.

Such a figure who is destined to be recorded in the history of science will naturally be believed by others if he says that a function he has studied contains extraordinary significance.

Some people are interested in the function itself, which means they have found a good topic for themselves.

Some people are interested in research results, because Wang Hao clearly said that any result of function research may be a big result.

Who wouldn’t want to accomplish big results?

Scholars will also pursue fame and fortune and academic achievements.

They couldn't wait to start researching.

But they still had doubts about the matter itself. Zhang He from the computing group asked directly, "Academician Wang, can this function be passed out?"

Everyone else also looked at Wang Hao.

Wang Hao said indifferently, "There is nothing to keep secret. I hope more people can study together, so I asked you to come together."

Of course he doesn't care.

Wang Hao's research is based on quality point construction, and the function derived is only an intermediate result.

In addition, the functions have been researched and the derivation process is still on draft paper. Even if the function is passed out, it is impossible for others to perform reverse derivation, so naturally there is no need to worry about making it public.

What Wang Hao wants to know now is the mystery contained in the function itself.

If someone else can study the meaning of function implication, it will be very helpful to his own research, and the meaning of function implication will actually increase the value of his results.

For example, Yang Zhenning and Mills studied the Yang-Mills equation together.

This in itself is a huge achievement.

They could not hide their results from others and then study the Yang-Mills equation in depth together.

That doesn't make any sense.

The more in-depth the research on the Yang-Mills equation becomes, the more related results will be obtained, which will naturally boost the value of the achievements of the creator of the Yang-Mills equation.

The two are in a mutually reinforcing relationship.

Others don't think so. On the contrary, they think Wang Hao is very remarkable. He knows that a certain function contains great significance, but he directly lets others study it openly.

What an open-minded state this is!

…

After Wang Hao introduced the function, a group of people walked out of the conference room.

They couldn't wait to start research.

The same goes for several people in the Mason Mathematical Science Laboratory. Luo Dayong took the transcribed function back to his office, grabbed a pen and began to think hard.

When Zhang Zhiqiang passed by the door, he glanced inside, walked over and asked, "What did you say when I saw a group of you go to the conference room just now?"

Luo Dayong raised his head and said, "Wang Hao gave a new function, let us study it separately."

"function?"

Zhang Zhiqiang's tone suddenly turned sour, and he said, "My math skills are not bad either. You should let me follow along and take a look!"

Luo Dayong raised his head slightly, glanced at Zhang Zhiqiang expressionlessly, and then continued to lower his head, his chin shook slightly.

This action was so sarcastic that Zhang Zhiqiang suddenly became furious, "Don't look down on people! Let me take a look! It's not a secret, right?"

Luo Dayong took his hand away carelessly.

Zhang Zhiqiang lowered his head in anger, stared at the line of things above carefully, and even picked up a pen to calculate.

Then his movements stopped.

Brows, furrowed.

Keep wrinkling...

Wrinkle again...

Time seemed to have stopped on that face, and his expression did not change for a long time.

Two minutes later.

Zhang Zhiqiang seemed to have been holding his breath for a long time. He opened his mouth and let it out. He nodded slightly and said, "Since Wang Hao didn't ask me to come in, he must not want me to participate in this research."

"forget about it!"

"There is no way, he is the leader, I am just a junior director, alas..."

He sighed again, turned around and walked out quickly.

Luo Dayong pursed his lips hard.

Shake his head gently.

…

What happened in Luo Dayong's office was similar to what happened elsewhere.

Since Wang Hao did not prohibit the spread of the function, people attending the meeting would also share it with other colleagues and friends. Many people who knew the news made a copy.

They were all thinking, since Wang Hao said that functions are very meaningful, what if they can study it?

This includes teachers and students from the Mathematics Center, people from the computing group, and the entire School of Science...

Soon, everyone outside the university knew about it.

Many people's reactions were very similar to Zhang Zhiqiang's. They were very interested at first, looked at the function for a long time, and then immediately lost interest.

Not to mention doing research on this complex function, it is very complicated to perform a small transformation.

Some scholars use computers to conduct research, but soon find that it is almost impossible to write a program for solving problems, because after inserting numerical values, the resulting equation is still very complicated.

Solving an equation of this difficulty can be said to be a good study in itself.

Some things will only be circulated within the industry, but some things will soon get out of the industry, and this is the case with things related to Wang Hao's research.

Wang Hao is a famous person!
