"The process of solving unsolved problems is the process of developing new mathematical methods. Using old methods to solve mathematical conjectures is a coincidence, but using new methods to prove mathematical problems will add vitality to the mathematical world, which is why everyone
That’s what every mathematician is committed to doing, you know?”
"One thing to say, one thing to say, it's true."
"So, Lin Xiao, I hope you can go further and further on this road."
…
Lin Xiao suddenly felt his consciousness return to darkness.
Strictly speaking, this is not darkness, it is simply that he has his eyes closed.
He wanted to open his eyes, but he felt that his eyelids were numb, or that the upper eyelids and lower eyelids were stuck together, making it difficult to open them.
Of course, it’s okay to overcome it a little bit.
After rubbing his eyes and feeling a little better, he got up from the bed.
"Ah~~"
Yawning, he remembered that he had just had a dream.
It seemed that Teacher Ding Ping was teaching him the principles, but he also seemed to be the mathematics teacher of the first science class, or Professor Chen Song, Professor Xu Hongbing, etc. He couldn't remember clearly, but he still remembered a little of the principles taught, probably
When it comes to solving mathematical problems, we need to try to create some new mathematical methods.
Using existing mathematical methods to solve unsolved problems is not the value of these problems. It can only show that that corner that no one has discovered happened to be discovered by you, but in a long time, sooner or later, this corner will be discovered by others.
people discovered.
Although this situation solves a regret for the mathematics community, it does not make the mathematics community as a whole better, because the mathematics community is still the same as before, and nothing innovative has emerged, and it may even make the mathematics community better.
Some people are worse off, because some students' topics may be exactly the problem you are studying, and you solve it. It took them who knows how long to come up with the research, or even the graduation thesis. Now it's better, they all graduate.
No more.
Lin Xiao thinks this statement is very reasonable. Mathematics, as the most basic subject in all scientific research in the world, needs to continue to develop, so that it can bring more uses to the world.
However, Lin Xiao did not dwell on this matter. He would later prove that there are infinitely many prime numbers in the Fibonacci sequence. This was not an unsolved problem.
As for solving unsolved problems, this was not something that an ordinary student like him, who would be a few months away from adulthood, should consider.
Soon, after finishing washing, Kong Huaan also woke up. He was going to attend a training class later. After all, he paid for it. If he didn't go to class, it would be wasted.
For Lin Xiao, there is no need to take classes. He is not interested in those classes. They are all about Mathematical Olympiad anyway, and Mathematical Olympiad is no longer his problem.
Afterwards, he and Kong Huaan went to the restaurant downstairs for breakfast. When they returned to the hotel, they looked at the time. It was only half past eight and it was still early. However, Lin Xiao did not waste time and sat at the table and continued to study.
The problem from last night came up.
Based on the ideas he thought about before going to bed last night, he entered the immersive state again.
But even so, after trying various methods, he still found that it was too difficult. There seemed to be an insurmountable gap that prevented him from combining the two formulas listed last night.
For the first time, he felt at a loss.
This was the first time he encountered such a difficult problem after acquiring the system, especially since this problem was given to him by his teacher.
His mind began to become confused and he fell into random thoughts.
"Would you like to spend some time with your mother?"
"Forget it, this is a lie. I will be embarrassed to explain to Teacher Xu then."
"But, this is too difficult!"
He has been thinking for three hours. Even though he has finished all the CMO test questions for the day, he doesn't even have any ideas now.
"By the way, I remember that truth points can also be used to solve these problems, right?"
Lin Xiao suddenly remembered this matter, so he asked in his mind: "System, how many truth points are needed to solve this problem?"
System: "According to the host's current mathematics level (level 1), 3 truth points are required to solve this problem."
"With 3 truth points, I now have 4.2 truth points. Isn't that just right?"
But Lin Xiao suddenly realized that there was no difference between using truth points and copying answers.
He immediately patted his head and said, "Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao, don't just think about getting something for nothing all day long. How will you find the truth in the future?"
"Don't think so much. At worst, you can just honestly admit to the teacher that you don't know how to do it tonight."
"But then again, this kind of question actually requires three truth points. These truth points are not easy to spend."
Muttering in his heart, Lin Xiao regained his composure and thought about a way to solve this problem.
But in the end, apart from writing a bunch of meaningless calculations on scratch paper, he still couldn't find any good method.
Lin Xiao scratched his head, feeling a little crazy.
"It would be great if the brain development could be improved a little more..."
"Huh? Brain development?"
Lin Xiao suddenly remembered that the system had previously rewarded him with something called [Sage State], which increased his brain development by 50%.
"Yeah, I actually forgot about this."
Lin Xiao slapped his head. He had never encountered any problem that took him more than 10 minutes to find an idea, so he forgot about it.
My current brain development level is 2.75%. This [Sage State] can increase my development level by 1.375%, which is equivalent to an increase of 4.125%. The increase is not small.
If he can't solve this problem even though he has a brain development level of 4.125%, he should stop learning.
After all, in the final analysis, this
It’s a question the teacher asked me!
Lin Xiao cheered up again and said silently in his mind: "Enable [Sage State]."
The system voice then sounded: "[Sage State] is activated. The current remaining time is: 5 hours. Once used, it cannot be paused."
"You can't pause?"
Lin Xiao frowned when he heard the news, but then he felt his mind clear.
This was an extremely comfortable feeling, as if it gave him a sense of understanding the expansion of everything in the universe.
"Is this the world above 4%? It's really...wonderful."
Lin Xiao sighed in his heart, and then without wasting time, he looked at the draft paper again, and for a moment, his thoughts surged like a fountain.
"That's right! You can try what Euclid originally proved, that prime numbers, odd composite numbers, and even numbers will extend infinitely alternately...and then..."
Lin Xiao's eyes lit up slightly, and then he looked at this question with fierce eyes.
"I still don't believe that I can't handle you!"
