Wang Hao completed the proof of the existence of the ‘Artin’s constant’ at the report site and delineated the numerical range between 0.37 and 0.38, which shocked everyone attending the computer conference.
Including the organizers, participating scholars, reporters, and even staff, everyone was talking about Wang Hao and the mathematical proof he made on the spot, and more people knew the specific content of the proof.
Most scholars in the computer field do not care about the study of mathematical theories, but if the proof happens before their eyes, the situation will be different.
They witnessed the completion of a very influential mathematical proof, which in the past could only be seen in the news.
Research on the distribution of prime numbers is very important for basic research in mathematics. Every achievement in the field of analytical number theory can be said to have a great impact. The research on the distribution of prime numbers can help scientists better understand the basics. Only by laying a solid foundation
Only by laying down the foundation can the superstructure be stabilized.
This is of great significance to scientific development.
Wang Hao was surrounded by reporters.
When he first walked off the stage, he was surrounded by many scholars, shook hands with a large group of people he knew, didn't know, had met, and never met, and accepted their congratulations on his achievements.
Later, a large number of reporters came forward and he was surrounded by reporters.
The reporters did not understand academics and did not know Artin's conjecture, but it did not prevent them from knowing that Wang Hao had completed a very powerful proof. If it was reported, it would definitely be big news. They surrounded Wang Hao and started asking questions.
Many scholars, including the organizers, judges, etc., stood on the periphery and watched, and couldn't help but sigh and admire, "When Wang Hao gave the proof just now, my heart was lifted."
"At that time, I very much hoped that he could complete the proof. This would definitely be big news. Completing an influential mathematical proof at a computer conference would also leave a strong mark on this conference."
"Wang Hao is indeed very good, he is that kind of super genius, but I heard that he seemed to have been fired by Donggang? Then he went to Xihai University?"
"I also know that it has even been on the news. I don't know how Donggang University will react when they see this news."
A group of scholars couldn't help but gloat a little as they said this. They all knew after thinking about it that Donggang University would definitely regret it very much.
It's interesting to gossip about this kind of thing.
As for sympathy?
No matter how you think about similar things, you should sympathize with Wang Hao, rather than sympathizing with Donggang University, which fired Wang Hao. There is nothing to sympathize with as a top university in the country.
They talked for a few words and then began to listen to Wang Hao's interview. Gradually, they felt that something was wrong, and the expressions on their faces became very strange.
A reporter asked: "It only took you 40 minutes to complete the entire proof. You must have been doing research for a long time, right?"
"It's been a long time." Wang Hao nodded, "It's been more than two months."
Two months? A long time?
The reporter who asked the question and the scholars nearby fell silent.
Another reporter asked, "For what reason did you study Artin's conjecture? Is it a personal hobby or did you apply for a project?"
"Both." Wang Hao thought for a while and nodded. "One is because I want to expand my field. I used to do research on partial differential equations, and then I found number theory very interesting. I also applied for the project, but it hasn't been approved yet.
The review and approval process for outstanding young people takes half a year, which is really too slow.”
He said and shook his head helplessly.
This answer did not elicit any reaction from the reporter, but a bunch of scholars who were listening began to worry about the evaluation of the Outstanding Youth Fund.
Some review experts saw the application for the Outstanding Youth Fund project submitted by Wang Hao. Did they pass it or not?
Passed? The research seems to have been completed.
Failed? A mathematics project that could achieve such great results was not approved by the Outstanding Youth Fund project?
What a dilemma!
Another reporter asked, "Did you get inspiration from the conference report to complete the proof?"
Wang Haodao said, “I have completed part of the content before, but I haven’t figured out some things yet, so I come to attend academic conferences. Academic conferences are a platform for scholars to communicate and learn about other people’s research, other people’s ideas and directions.
It can provide reference and help for my own research. In the process of making the report, I suddenly thought of something and solved the problem that I had never figured out before."
The reporter continued to ask, "Can you tell us about this research? Others have also introduced it. It is Arting's conjecture and Arting's constant, but for us, we still don't understand it well."
"All right."
Wang Hao spoke carefully, "Atting's conjecture is a conjecture in the field of number theory, involving the distribution of prime numbers."
"Its content is that any integer that is neither a square number nor -1 is the original root of infinite prime numbers. The original root should be understandable, right?"
"It doesn't matter. I can explain in detail that a primitive root is a mathematical symbol. m is a positive integer and a is an integer. If the order of a modulo m is equal to φ(m), then a is called a primitive root modulo m...
"
"Wow wow wow~~"
Wang Hao patiently explained everything, which made the reporters around him even more confused. They couldn't help but blame the reporter who just asked the question with their eyes.
Why ask this?
If you want to report on specific research content, why not just look for information online!
…
The morning report meeting was delayed until one o'clock. The organizer announced a two-hour break and the afternoon report meeting would start at three o'clock.
After Wang Hao was interviewed by reporters, he felt hungry. He still had a few words with the conference chairman and reviewers. They mainly talked about the mathematical argument included in the conference.
It is a bit unflattering to include purely mathematical arguments in a computer conference, but after some discussion among the organizers, they decided to include the paper.
Jiang Wenping came over to ask Wang Hao's opinion, because the mathematics paper was not submitted directly to the conference, but was published using the conference venue. For the conference to include the paper, Wang Hao's consent was required.
Wang Hao didn't have any objections. If he cared about the paper being included in the conference, he wouldn't have written the proof on the report table.
Finally, Jiang Wenping asked Wang Hao about his paper submission.
Most academic conferences do not require ownership of papers, and there are certain differences between conference papers and submitted papers, so papers included in conferences can also be submitted to academic journals.
Wang Hao doesn't have any ideas for the time being, but he doesn't have to worry about submission, because his proof process has been written on the whiteboard, and if many people come to take pictures, it will definitely spread.
At that time, perhaps some academic journals will take the initiative to come to you.
After leaving the lecture hall, Wang Hao went straight to the restaurant and realized that he was indeed famous. At least in this conference venue, all the scholars he saw on the road came to say hello, and some scholars came over to get to know each other occasionally.
.
He became a star at the venue. He felt pretty good at first and just exchanged a few words with people he didn't know. Then he simply said he was going to eat, said hello and left quickly.
He met Zhang Zhiqiang in the restaurant.
Zhang Zhiqiang ordered a lot of things to celebrate Wang Hao, but many of the dishes were already cold.
Wang Hao sat down apologetically, quickly ate a few mouthfuls to fill his stomach, and said a little depressed, "It was really annoying on the way here. Everyone came over to say a few words. It's not good to ignore them. It wastes too much time."
Zhang Zhiqiang suddenly gave off a look of resentment. No one paid any attention to him as he walked over, as if he was a purely transparent person.
At this time, two figures, an old man and a young man, came to the side. They were Jeffrey Hinton and Helen. They had just finished lunch and came over when they saw Wang Hao.
Jeffrey Hinton gave a thumbs up to Wang Hao, "I didn't expect to see such a wonderful scene. I'm really lucky. If it weren't for Helen, maybe I wouldn't be here."
"Thanks."
Wang Hao replied politely.
Helen kept staring at Wang Hao and said with a serious expression, "I have already figured it out about yesterday's question. The hypothesis you mentioned is just a hypothesis, so I don't have to worry about it."
"Besides, I am not the smartest among humans, and I don't need to find a mate with the most wisdom."
Helen's statement made Wang Hao couldn't help but nod along. "It makes sense!"
If you realize that you are not the wisest among human beings, you certainly don’t need to find the wisest partner.
"Also." Helen continued, "As Jeffrey said, your appearance also seems to have advantageous genes, and your intelligence is no less than mine. Maybe you will be a good match."
"I have thought about it carefully. If I work with you, I can help improve the genes of the Hinton family."
"From a genetic point of view, the farther apart genes are combined, the smaller the chance of negative recessive genes breaking out, and the greater the chance of combining to produce excellent offspring."
"I think you should also consider that we might be able to create a super genius, and maybe our next generation can accomplish the dream that Jeffrey couldn't accomplish."
Helen said, taking out a note from her pocket and handing it to Wang Hao's hand, "Here you go, please be sure to contact me if you consider it."
Wang Hao stared at Helen with his mouth slightly open. He was really shocked by the little girl's words.
Zhang Zhiqiang looked at Helen curiously. He didn't fully understand what it meant. It was about genes and dreams. What kind of next generation super genius could there be?
He couldn't help but ask, "Is this some kind of role-playing game?"
As he spoke, he looked around, asking Jeffrey and Wang Hao, hoping to know what exactly happened.
Jeffrey just smiled.
Wang Hao continued to maintain an expression of surprise with his mouth slightly open.
Helen ignored Zhang Zhiqiang's question, turned around and walked towards the door of the restaurant. After walking a few steps, she suddenly turned back and looked at Zhang Zhiqiang with eyes full of contempt. She opened her mouth slightly and uttered one word, "muggle"
!”
"..."
"..."
Zhang Zhiqiang's eyes were filled with confusion and he touched the back of his head inexplicably.
Wang Hao lowered his head and looked at the note in his hand.
It contains a phone number, an address, an email, and even MSN and Twitter usernames? It’s really complete! But Helen is only fifteen years old!
Is it illegal?
He tugged at the corner of his mouth hard, feeling a little depressed. He quickly took a big spoonful of fried rice and put it into his mouth. He looked at the small note again, held it in his hand and balled it up. After hesitating for a moment, he still put it in.
In your pocket.
What if I need to contact Jeffrey Hinton if I have anything in the future?
It’s okay to ask Helen to help pass on a message...
