Chapter 129 Mr. Ye loves dragons? The dragon is coming!
Before Xihai University’s press conference, there was a lot of news on the Internet.
However, because there was no confirmation from Wang Hao himself, the news was reported and discussed based on the content released by "New Advances in Mathematics".
Many netizens also participated and discussed with surprise and excitement, "Professor Wang Hao of Sokai University has achieved another great result! And it is also a proof of Kakutani's conjecture!"
"Isn't this result greater than finding Mersenne prime numbers? This proves a mathematical conjecture."
"Kakutani's conjecture is very famous, don't you know? I can give you some popular science. It means taking a natural number. If it is an odd number..."
"Proving Kakutani's conjecture should be a Fields-level achievement, right?"
"This is not necessarily true. Although it has a great influence, the Fields Medal pays more attention to the contribution of results in a certain direction rather than to a single mathematical problem. Of course, what I said is not necessarily correct, it is just what the search website said.
of……"
"..."
Although there were many discussions on the Internet, in fact, it did not attract much attention, mainly because the proof of the Kakutani conjecture was only published in "New Advances in Mathematics" and the author of the paper was Wang Hao.
Things were different after the Sokai University press conference.
This result was confirmed by Xihai University and Wang Hao himself. In addition, the content of the interview was also very interesting. After the media reported it, it immediately aroused heated discussion in the public opinion.
"Wang Hao: It took up to three months to prove the Kakutani conjecture"
"A brand new mathematical method to help promote the development of mathematical theory"
"Wang Hao: The palindrome conjecture and Kakutani conjecture are the same type of problem"
"The top international mathematics journals are quickly reviewed and released in one week, paving the way for top mathematics results"
"Wang Hao: Kakutani's conjecture is nothing"
…
…
When the eye-catching headlines came out one after another, the news that Wang Hao completed the proof of Kakutani Conjecture suddenly became a hot topic in public opinion, and it can even be said to be a super hot topic.
People in academia, especially those in mathematics, feel like crying when they read every content.
Kakutani conjecture, completed in three months;
In top mathematics journals, the total time from review to publication is one week;
A mathematical method was developed, and Kakutani's conjecture was just an application of it, and it didn't count at all.
When they think about how they have been unable to solve a problem for a long time after trying so hard, they suddenly feel a complex emotion of envy, jealousy, and resentment.
As long as you carefully study Wang Hao's results, you will know that what he said should be the truth.
Because of this, the blow appears more severe.
At the same time, they also know one thing. Perhaps if they prove the Kakutani conjecture, it is difficult to say that they can win the Fields Medal, because the Kakutani conjecture is more about fame than how significant it is in the world of mathematics.
Those conjectures of great significance, such as Fermat's conjecture and Riemann's conjecture, have many key applications. Even if they prove only a small progress, it will be a very significant result.
When Andrew Wiles proved Fermat's conjecture, he had already exceeded the upper limit for receiving a Fields medal (forty years old), and the Fields selection committee was willing to award him an exceptional Fields Silver Medal.
The Kakutani conjecture is not of such great significance, and it is difficult to say that it will promote the development of mathematics if it is proved. It is more famous.
However, if, as Wang Hao said, he developed a new mathematical method, the Kakutani conjecture is just an application of the method.
This is different.
There is no doubt that new mathematical methods that can prove problems such as the Kakutani conjecture and the palindrome conjecture are of great significance. With this research, it is enough to reach the Fields level.
If he can win the Fields Medal for this, it will naturally be based on his "major contribution to the field of analytic number theory."
"It seems that Wang Hao is not far away from getting Fields..."
"Not just Fields, maybe from now on, he will win various awards, just like Andrew Wiles once..."
"With this achievement, you can retire early. Even decades later, you will still be considered the top mathematician in the world."
"Wang Hao is only in his twenties, but he has already achieved such great results, which is unimaginable..."
"We must admit that geniuses in mathematics are like this. When they get older, they are unlikely to achieve great results."
"..."
The mathematical community focuses on the results themselves, while public opinion is completely different. They are more concerned about the impact of proving Kakutani’s conjecture and the accompanying ‘entertainment’.
After seeing a lot of interviews and reports released by the media, netizens were stunned, "Is three months a long time to complete the proof of the Kakutani conjecture?"
"It's just that we use the back door, and we also talk about opening the way for top results... although this is indeed the case..."
"Kakutani's conjecture is nothing? Wang Hao's next step won't be to prove Goldbach's conjecture or Riemann's conjecture, right?"
"I don't know what's going on. Ever since I watched the video of Professor Wang Hao's interview, I feel like I'm a waste. Living in this world is just a waste of food and an added burden to the country and society..."
"I don't know what's going on, but I feel the same way..."
"Me too……"
"Same as above."
"top."
…
The next morning, when Wang Hao went to the office, he saw Zhang Zhiqiang and Zhu Ping, both looking listless.
Wang Hao stopped and asked strangely, "What's wrong with you?"
Zhang Zhiqiang raised his head and said, "Wang Hao, I feel like I'm a waste."
"Me too."
Zhu Ping followed up and said something.
Wang Hao subconsciously nodded when he heard this, but he immediately reacted and realized that in this context, this action seemed a bit unfriendly. He thought about it and said to Zhang Zhiqiang, "Didn't you get promoted to associate professor? In a few years, you will be a professor.
.”
"That makes sense!"
Zhang Zhiqiang nodded vigorously while thinking, "At least the school recognizes me."
"What about me? What about me?" Zhu Ping pointed at herself, as if she was waiting for praise.
Wang Hao thought about it carefully before saying, "Sister Zhu, you are going to study for a Ph.D. soon, and you can be promoted to associate professor in the future. There are very few female professors in information science."
"yes."
Zhu Ping suddenly understood, became energetic again, and even began to look forward to it.
Dr. Zhu, Dr. Zhu, sounds unusual.
At this time, Luo Dayong came in and helped Zhu Ping make a calculation, "It will take at least three years to study for a Ph.D. on the job. It is said that Dean Chen is very demanding in teaching students. It may take four or five years. After studying for a Ph.D.,
Our school is very fast and it takes an average of five years to be promoted to a first-level teaching position and then to an associate professorship."
"Don't say it's impossible for you to reach the average level. Even if you can reach the average level, it will take almost ten years. A female associate professor of information science who is nearly fifty years old..."
"Tsk tsk~~"
He emphasized the word 'vice', and the last two syllables made him feel uncomfortable.
Zhu Ping's anger suddenly rose. She picked up the book on the table and rushed towards Luo Dayong.
"Don't! Don't!"
Luo Dayong quickly gave in and raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, "Sister Zhu Ping, I will never tell the truth next time!"
"Snapped!"
The next moment the book snapped over.
A hilarious farce was once again staged in the office.
While Wang Hao was enjoying the farce in the office, he was also browsing the news to read the media reports. He found that the comments on many reports were very strange. Why did the netizens seem to be sour...
"Wang Hao: Kakutani's conjecture is nothing"?
What report is this?
"Have I ever said such a thing?" Wang Hao thought about it carefully and was not sure whether he said it specifically or not.
He felt a little wronged.
Like Luo Dayong, he tells the truth!
The proof of Kakutani's conjecture is indeed only one of his achievements, and his main achievement is only one, which is the mathematical method used to complete the proof. The biggest proof is that he did not establish the research task of 'palindrome conjecture' or 'Kakutani conjecture'
, just completed the proof using the mathematical methods developed.
"It seems that sometimes telling the truth is very shocking. I should put it mildly. For example, it took half a year to prove the Kakutani conjecture? Or has it been researching?"
"In other words, it's exciting to complete the proof of Kakutani's conjecture?"
Wang Hao thought and shook his head. He began to work seriously. It was still very important to summarize mathematical methods.
Its importance is not just about publishing results, nor is it just about promoting the development of mathematics, but more importantly, the results are related to 'completing S-level difficulty research', and completing S-level difficulty research can earn 3,000 teaching points.
currency.
【Teaching Coin: 6719.】
The current teaching coins are very objective. If you get 3,000 points in one go, it will be close to 10,000 points.
Ten thousand points is a watershed.
The requirement to obtain the next ability is to have more than 10,000 teaching coins.
"What's the next ability? What will it be? It shouldn't be worse than "The Gift of Teaching", right?" Wang Hao is already looking forward to it.
However, it is not easy for him to calm down and do research. If a reporter asks for an interview, he can directly refuse it. There are also experts from the Institute of Materials Science and Technology from the capital who come to visit and insist on meeting him no matter what.
Those who came were Cao Dongming, Qu Shigang and Wang Jiming.
In fact, they had booked their tickets for this morning, and the other people who came with them had already left by plane, but they were unwilling to think about not seeing Wang Hao during this trip.
So Qu Shigang decided to stay one more day, and Cao Dongming naturally supported it 100%. Seeing how determined Qu Shigang was, Wang Jiming stayed with him.
After Qu Shigang saw Wang Hao, he immediately talked about the poor reception last time at the Aeronautical Materials Institute. He kept saying apologetic words and almost apologized directly.
Faced with this attitude of an old academician, Wang Hao felt a little unbearable. In fact, he didn't take it to heart at all. He felt that it was normal for a young mathematics professor to give a report at the Institute of Materials Science and Technology and not many people to listen.
.
Put yourself in someone else’s shoes!
If he were a data mining expert in materials research, he would not believe that a mathematics professor in his early twenties would be very knowledgeable in the field of data mining in materials research.
Of course.
Wang Hao really felt that he was an outsider. Except for some experimental research on titanium alloys, he didn't even understand the basics of other contents, so he didn't take it to heart at all because there were so few people coming to listen to the lectures.
The main reason is that the areas of focus are different.
If he was giving a lecture on mathematical theory, and very few people came to listen, he would definitely take it to heart, and the other party must have done it on purpose.
After apologizing, Cao Dongming also asked about common research issues related to the analysis of beta titanium alloy experimental data.
Wang Hao said calmly, "I have finished it, but I haven't summarized it yet. It's a bit too troublesome to summarize the research. I've been very busy recently, really busy, and I'm summarizing a new mathematical method."
"It's very complicated." He added three words after he finished speaking.
Wang Hao really felt that it was very troublesome.
The common summary of data analysis related to alloy research involves all aspects of the experimental process, and it takes a long time to summarize.
But he was not in the mood to summarize any material research. After all, it was not his own research. If he had nothing to do and was free, he would not mind helping to summarize it.
Now, very busy!
Qu Shigang and the other three looked at each other, and they heard the key points from Wang Hao's mouth - the research was completed, and the summary would take time, and he didn't have time recently.
What to do?
Qu Shigang was so anxious that he didn't know what to say, but Cao Dongming got to the point with one sentence, "Professor Wang Hao, it doesn't matter if you want to summarize or not. We still want to invite you to give a lecture at the Institute of Materials Science and Technology again."
Cao Dongming has already figured it out.
Whether Wang Hao is evasive or not is no longer important. Even if he helps make a summary and only sends the summary, will they be able to analyze and understand it?
This is hard to say.
Those contents involve some complex mathematical theories. If they analyze them themselves, they may deviate from the original meaning. It is better to just ask Wang Hao to give another lecture.
Qu Shigang immediately reacted, "Yes, we would like to invite you to give another lecture at the Institute of Materials Science and Technology. There will definitely be many people attending this time, so don't worry!"
"Moreover, it's a formal invitation. In this way, our Materials Institute will give you twenty...thirty...no, five hundred thousand. It doesn't matter whether it's money or not. What's important is that you can't let your trip go in vain."
Qu Shigang said with pain in his heart.
He is the deputy dean of the Institute of Materials Science and Technology, but he cannot make decisions directly even if he spends 500,000 yuan as lecture fees. He must be responsible for this expense, including making a report to his superiors to clarify why he paid such a high lecture fee.
.
The probability of approval from superiors is low, and he may have to foot the bill himself.
Fortunately, Cao Dongming nodded along with him, "Yes, I just don't want you to go all the way in vain." What he said was very simple. Then he and Qu Shigang looked at each other and made a clear agreement. If the lecture fee cannot be approved, they will come together.
Resist.
Wang Hao thought about it hesitantly and found that he couldn't refuse. He said in a very embarrassed tone, "Then... OK, but it will be at least the end of this month. I'm really busy."
"The end of this month is fine too!"
"No problem! Professor Wang Hao, please contact me again!"
Qu Shigang and Cao Dongming breathed a sigh of relief together, and left after discussing all issues.
After walking out of the complex, Wang Jiming, who had been silent, finally couldn't help but ask, "I've always heard you say that Wang Hao is no matter how powerful he is. Is it true? I have to drag him to give a lecture.
And... five hundred thousand..."
Wang Jiming is a little envious. He is the chief expert of Wuhan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., and he also wears the title of "Academician" on his head. He goes to universities or institutions to give lectures, and the lecture fee is only 30,000 to 50,000.
Wang Hao is five hundred thousand?
Qu Shigang immediately shook his head and said, "Jiming, you still don't understand. Wang Hao is going to give a lecture. It's worth five million, let alone 500,000!"
"If I could make my own decision, I would definitely spend five million!"
"Why?" Wang Jiming was very confused.
"It's very simple." Cao Dongming said, "Academician Wang, let me give you an example, and you will understand. Professor Wang Hao gave a lecture last time and talked about the control of melting temperature, so he gave me the
For both projects, the research and development time was accelerated by at least two months, and more than three million yuan was saved."
"Two months, three million. This is just my titanium alloy research and development. Other alloy research and development can also be used as a reference. Professor Wang Hao's research is of very high practical value when used for alloy material research and development."
"so smart?"
"Of course." Qu Shigang said, "otherwise, why would we bother to make such a trip?"
Wang Jiming nodded after hearing this, "Then I will listen too."
"Isn't this okay?" Qu Shigang reacted immediately and refused immediately.
"Why not?"
"Of course not. We have to spend half a million. Moreover, Professor Wang Hao came to our aviation academy just for the sake of me and Dong Ming. Do you want to listen to it for nothing without spending money?" Qu Shigang couldn't think about it.
I find it unacceptable.
Wang Jiming suddenly became anxious, "No, Laoqu, you are not interesting enough. I will follow you to the West Sea!"
"We paid for the expenses, so you can treat it as a tour." Qu Shigang said matter-of-factly.
"How could you do this?" Wang Jiming was almost furious.
"Five hundred thousand, one code equals one code!"
"...What the hell..." Wang Jiming was so angry that he cursed.
The two of them continued to argue all the way, and they continued to argue until they got on the plane.
…
Wang Hao's completion of the proof of Kakutani's conjecture aroused heated discussion in public opinion, and there was even more discussion at Sokai University.
All students knew about this.
They also kept talking about it. Even some students who did not study on weekdays and only focused on games were taught various sciences about what the Kakutani Conjecture was and how powerful Professor Wang Hao was.
This kind of discussion occurs everywhere on campus, even in the retake course of "Probability Theory and Mathematical Statistics".
Most of the students who take retake courses are the kind of students who don't study.
Most of them failed the class directly because they missed too many classes. Some did not study in class and did not prepare for the exam, which ultimately led to the failure.
In short, they all failed.
Of course, there are also some other factors, such as taking sick leave, taking a leave of absence from school or some other reason, missing an exam or simply missing a course, but these situations are only rare.
Among these re-taking students, some of the more active ones will also talk to others about Wang Hao and his research on the Kakutani conjecture.
The most important thing is to gossip.
Some said, "I just have bad luck. If Wang Hao were my probability teacher, I would definitely study hard!"
"Yes, if Wang Hao were my teacher, there would be no way he would fail the exam."
"I failed the class last semester, and my teacher happened to be Wang Hao..."
"Why?"
"You may not know how high Wang Hao's demands are on his students. He was late several times and his usual grades were zero. Also, if he missed class twice, he could just give up."
"You have to listen carefully in class, even if you want to lie down for a while..."
Students who know more about it have said a lot.
However, some students still insisted, "If Wang Hao were a teacher, he would definitely study seriously."
"What a rare opportunity!"
"yes……"
Amidst the constant discussion, it was almost time for class. A figure wearing casual clothes, who seemed to be no different from a student, walked into the classroom door and went straight to the podium.
Then he stood there with a smile on his face, tried the microphone and said, "Hello, classmates, I am the lecturer of this class, Wang Hao."
"Some of you may know me, some may not, it doesn't matter. If you don't want to waste your money on retaking credits, you will definitely know me..."
As he spoke, he showed what he thought was a friendly smile, and his white teeth flashed a dazzling light under the light.
Many students looked like they wanted to cry sadly...
Ruined!
Is the teacher of the re-examination course Wang Hao?
If I had known this was the case, I would not have failed the exam even if I tried my best!
