Sixty-eight, goodbye Wang Canlong
Since I was going to participate, Jiang Shuiyuan didn’t plan to just go with his ears.
Taking advantage of the break at noon and evening, he ran to the Jingshi University Library to check books related to the Riemann Conjecture and do his preview. He didn't know if he didn't check it, but he was shocked to find out that there were hundreds of books about the Riemann Conjecture, not only Chinese, but also English, French, German, and Japanese.
Obviously, it was not the only one who was proven by Riemann's conjecture, that most Chinese and English books have been preceded, leaving only Japanese and German books, as well as several copies, which are not understood by anyone.
Fortunately, when I went to Danzhou last time, Jiang Shuiyuan and Yuu Horita also learned some Japanese, and had read the "Hanhe Double Interpretation Dictionary", and could barely understand Japanese. Hans Kingdom is the birthplace of the Riemann conjecture and the most important research center in the first half of the period. It would be very profitable if I read it through it. So he picked one book every time and found a place by the window to start reading.
He read the book very quickly. He first swept forty or fifty pages in one breath, then closed his eyes and thought about deriving for a moment, and then turned down, and he could finish reading a book soon. Just as he was reading it, he heard a familiar voice: "Classmate, can you lend me a book in your hand?"
Jiang Shuiyuan turned his head and saw Wang Canlong, whom he had seen when he was listening last time, standing on the side. His face seemed to be a darker color than last time, and his expression was even more vicissitudes. Only his white-washed schoolbag was so clean. Jiang Shuiyuan quickly stood up and smiled at him kindly: "Old Wang, long time no see, do you still remember me?"
"Oh, remember, remember, I seem to have seen it somewhere before." Wang Canlong whispered in a vague manner, "Can I borrow your book to read?"
"Yes, of course!" Jiang Shuiyuan didn't know much about Rieman's guess, so there was no order in reading books. He read one by one, and then slowly sorted it out. So except for the book he was reading, he pushed the rest of the stacks between the two, "Choose whatever he wants, read it casually!"
"Thanks!"
"You're welcome! By the way, how did your four-color problem be solved?" Jiang Shuiyuan remembered that Wang Canlong seemed to have said that he had found a very simple way to prove the four-color problem. - Well? This statement sounds very familiar!
"There are some flaws that need to be improved, and we are currently making the final supplement. I think Atiya's idea of solving Riemann's conjecture may be helpful to me to prove the four-color problem, so come and learn about it."
"Then I wish you all your wishes come true!"
Wang Canlong sat down next to the river water source. He first took out the worn-out large plastic water cup from his schoolbag, took a few sips of it, wiped the water stains on his mouth, and then took out his notebook and pen, found a Chinese version of "Preliminary of the Riemann Conjecture" in the pile of books, and began to take notes while reading the book.
Wang Canlong reads books very slowly. Jiang Shuiyuan has already read three or four books, and he has only read the third chapter of one book.
Although there are several stacks of books, you will find that, at the end, except for a few books that are different or written in a more profound way, the rest are similar, so the river water source is getting faster and faster, and finally finished all the books before 11 o'clock in the evening. At this time, Wang Canlong's book has not been finished.
Jiang Shuiyuan stretched beautifully and said softly: "Lao Wang, I've finished watching it, where are you?"
"Oh, I'll have a little more time to go back after reading the book at hand."
Jiang Shuiyuan probably depends on his reading speed, and it will take at least one or two o'clock at night after reading. Fortunately, the Jingshi University Library is open 24 hours a day. He thought about it and said, "Lao Wang, then I'll treat you to a midnight snack, will you go?"
"No, I brought something to cushion my stomach." As he said that, Wang Canlong took out a hard flowering steamed bun from his schoolbag, ate it hard for a few bites, then picked up a large plastic water cup and poured it into his stomach. "If I can't be hungry, you can go first! I'm used to reading books at night, so it's easier to concentrate."
"Okay, you should pay more attention to your health!"
The next morning, Jiang Shuiyuan asked Sun Lianghou for leave and came to the conference room of the Department of Mathematics in advance. The internal seminar was held here.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I pushed the door, I almost got a frightened by the heat and sound waves inside. I saw that the conference room was densely filled with people, and even the aisle was full of people. The crowded level was no less than that of the popular attractions during the National Day holiday. The first row gathered dozens of reporters, with long spears and short cannons. Isn’t it a small seminar?
Or, what are my misunderstandings about "small"?
Fortunately, Zhang Jin got up early and took up the seat, otherwise Jiang Shuiyuan would have to stand and listen to the class. He was about to squeeze in and meet Zhang Jin, but was stopped by a female reporter in her early twenties next to him. The recording pen was handed over: "Hello classmate, I am Liu Wei, a reporter from Science and Life magazine. Who are you?"
"My name is Jiang Shuiyuan, and I am a student of Huai'an Prefecture Middle School affiliated to Jingshi University."
Liu Wei stared with her round eyes: "Did you come from Huai'an Mansion overnight to attend the seminar?"
Jiang Shuiyuan looked at her a few times. She was pretty and dressed in a very knowledgeable and feminine manner. Why didn’t her IQ be in the service area? He patiently explained: “I came to participate in the Jingshi University study class. I happened to hear that there was a seminar, so I came to study.”
"So are you very interested in mathematics?"
"Uh..., yes." Jiang Shuiyuan looked at her again and thought to himself: Will he come to this seminar if he is not interested in mathematics? The questions asked are simply shattered. Young people should constantly improve their posture level, do you know? I'm all anxious for you. If you go back to interview like this, are you sure your president will not deduct your salary?
"How much do you know about the Riemann conjecture?"
"I know a little bit." After all, I crammed last night and made up for a lot of things.
"What exactly is Riemann guessing?"
Finally, he got to the point! Jiang Shuiyuan breathed a sigh of relief for her: "The so-called Riemann conjecture is the conjecture proposed by the famous mathematician Riemann in a paper entitled "On Prime Numbers Smaller than Given Numbers", that is, it is to guess that all non-trivial zero points of the Riemann ζ function are located on the straight line Re(s)=1/2 on the complex plane."
Liu Wei was confused: "Can you say it simpler and more popular?"
Jiang Shuiyuan thought for a while and said, "That is, all non-trivial zero points of the Riemann ζ function are distributed on a special straight line on the complex plane, which is usually called the 'critical line'."
"All points are in a straight line?"
Jiang Shuiyuan was too lazy to correct her statement: "You can understand it this way. At least so far, the more than one trillion non-trivial zeros calculated by scientists through computers are on the critical line, and these non-trivial zeros are still increasing at a rate of more than billions of times a day."
"Ten trillion?" Liu Wei opened her mouth wide, "Isn't that proven?"
Jiang Shuiyuan shook his head slightly: "The famous mathematician Zagier also thought so when he was young. By studying some auxiliary functions derived from Riemann ζ function, he felt that if more than 300 million non-trivial zeros meet the conditions, he could roughly determine that the Riemann conjecture was valid. In fact, no matter how many non-trivial zeros are calculated, they cannot be used as evidence for proof, and can only play a certain psychological comfort role. To truly prove it, it must be rigorous logic and derivation."
Liu Weidaqi: "Why are scientists so determined by the Riemann conjecture? It is very important?"
Jiang Shuiyuan replied: "Maybe it is because of human curiosity about the unknown and the pursuit of perfection? Someone once said that if mathematics is the crown of human wisdom, then number theory is the jewel in the crown, and the Riemann conjecture is the most difficult spot on the jewel to wipe off. Of course, it is indeed very important. Statistics show that more than 1,000 mathematical propositions in today's mathematical literature are based on the establishment of the Riemann conjecture or its promotional form. Once the Riemann conjecture is proven, more than 1,000 theorems will be added overnight in the field of mathematics, which will have a huge impact on the development of mathematics."
"More than a thousand theorems?! That is really, very, very important!"
While speaking, Hui Qiongju walked in and saw Jiang Shuiyuan and greeted him: "Oh, are you here too? Go to your seat quickly and the meeting will begin soon."
"Okay!" Jiang Shuiyuan was about to get out, but immediately bowed to Liu Wei: "Sorry, the meeting will begin soon, I'm going to the seat."
"Well, okay, okay, thank you for your cooperation! By the way, are you from Huai'an Mansion Middle School affiliated to Jingshi University? If your views are quoted in the article, I will send a copy to your school."
Chapter completed!
