Rule system

Wiles was a mathematician who amazed the world.

A mathematical genius at a young age, he graduated from Merton College, Oxford, and received his PhD from Clare College, Cambridge.

D. from Clare College, Cambridge, where he was a junior fellow and assistant professor at Harvard University, and two years later a fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.

A year later, he was promoted to professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.

But when Wiles became a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, he was only 28 years old, and most people of that age had just received their PhD.

Wiles then began more than a decade of research, all focused on the Shimura-Taniyama Conjecture and the Fermat Conjecture, until 1993, when he moved to the Newton Institute in England and gave three consecutive lectures.

At the end of the last lecture, he completed the proof of Fermat's conjecture, and the news quickly made the front page of all major newspapers in the world, and even more so in the mathematical world, when the New York Times published a front-page article titled "Finally, I've Found It! The news that Fermat's Conjecture had been proved was reported on the front page of the New York Times under the headline "Finally, I've Discovered!

Overnight, Wiles became the most famous mathematician in the world, and the only one.

Wiles then embarked on an award-winning career that lasted more than a decade.

The most important one was the "Nobel" Fields Prize, which was awarded to mathematicians over 40 years old, but only to young mathematicians under 40 years old, and finally the Andrew Wiles Fields Special Prize.

For any mathematician, solving Fermat's conjecture is a lifetime achievement, and after his success, life seems to be inseparable from the prize.

In June this year, he received the Shaw Prize in Mathematical Sciences, supported by the Hong Kong Gene Society, with a prize of one million US dollars.

The prize is not very influential, but the amount of prize money is still very exciting, and up to now Wiles is still very proud of himself. For him, who has won Fields and is recognized as the world's first mathematician, he came to the International Congress of Mathematicians just to make a name for himself, just like when he was invited to give lectures at famous universities in different countries.

Wiles enjoyed it, as if he had just been surrounded by a large group of mathematicians from all over the world, and he showed the style of a top mathematician by going to the booths and giving advice to the people who set up the booths.

It took him more than twenty minutes to solve one of the stallholders' problems, to find the problem in a five-page complex mathematical calculation, and to get a thousand thanks from the stallholder.

"So the world mathematical community ......"

"I am the NO.1 mathematician, no one can compare with me."

When Badles proudly came over, he saw a scene of Zhao Yi pointing out the black boy, and he immediately saw the 'problem'.

How could it be so fast?

He is the world's first mathematician who cracked Fermat's conjecture, and his understanding of mathematics and computational ability are all first-rate, so even if someone could calculate faster than he could, it would be impossible for him to be so fast.

One minute?

Are you kidding me?

"It's a play, right? That's funny, I think he'll get an Oscar ......"

Wiles spoke up, and when he found that the others had given up their seats, he simply stepped out and said in a lecturing tone, "Yi Zhao, I know you, Horn Valley Conjecture, three-dimensional tremor waveform diagram, your research is very profound, but why do such a trick?"

"Mr. Wiles?"

Zhao Yi pronounced Wiles' name, barely a greeting, and asked back with a frown, "What did I do? Acting? Why would I do that?"

"Why did you do that?"

Wiles seemed to laugh in exasperation at Zhao Yi's denial, and took a look around, spreading his hands in innocence, and explaining in passing that what he said next was just because he 'couldn't see past the words', "Does that really need an explanation? Well, you're young and probably trying to attract people or increase your reputation for your computational and mathematical abilities, in short, you're trying to show ...... to wow others around you ......"

"Blah blah blah~"

Wiles explained a lot in one breath, and there was applause all around him.

Zhao Yi tilted his head and said to Chen Ming beside him, "Can his words be summed up in two words - pretend?"

"Pfft!"

Chen Ming burst out laughing directly.

"So the Chinese language is still profound, look at him say so much, it's so complicated ......"

Chen Ming couldn't help but hug his belly and laugh, and even gave a thumbs up to Zhao Yi.

The interaction between the two made Wiles feel a little embarrassed and annoyed that the object of his education was not listening, so it was pointless to continue.

Zhao Yi seemed to notice Wiles' look, walked up and smiled, "Dear Mr. Wiles, I find that you have a pair of eyes full of wisdom."

Irony?

Wiles was confused.

Zhao Yi nodded his head and said, "Yes, you're right, in fact, ah, not only the black guy just now, all the stall owners around now, are the mass actors I hired, they will all cooperate with my performance."

After hearing Zhao Yi's words, the surrounding area was in turmoil.

Of course no one believed it.

Wiles also didn't believe it at all, but Zhao Yi didn't need him to believe it either, but spread his hands and continued, "I know, you all don't believe it, so I'll prove it."

He said and suddenly shouted, "Would anyone like to show me the paper? Here's Mr. Wiles, let's help with the paper!"

Hula-la~

Zhao Yi's fame was far from Wiles', and no one cared about what he said in the front, but when it came to Wiles in the back, many stallholders hurried back to get their papers.

"Don't rush!"

"I'm sorry, I can only choose the first two, who is lucky, will be able to let Mr. Wiles review, bad luck, sorry, can only be me ......" back of course is indifferent, someone to look at than no one to look at, Zhao Yi has also solved the horn valley conjecture, also published the three-dimensional tremor waveform diagram, mathematical ability is also recognized.

A pile of papers was handed over.

Mr. Zhao found the two with clear handwriting and handed them to Wiles, "Sir, you can choose one, please feel free."

Wiles understood.

This was to compare with him on the spot, who could review the papers faster? But is that fair? The content of each paper was different, and the difficulty must be different.

With so many people looking at the scene, Wiles couldn't be excused, as if he was afraid of the other party, he simply took one and read it carefully.

Zhao Yi took out another copy and put it in his hand, quickly flipping through it.

A large group of people around held their breath, every year's mathematician conference, there will be some lively to see, some mathematicians will even start a fight in the conference because of debating issues, but direct competition 'review paper', it is really rare.

The other one is Zhao Yi from China, who solved the Hornblower Conjecture at a young age, and shaped it into a 'three-dimensional tremor waveform diagram', which is actually more impressive than the former.

Most people still favor Wiles.

"Andrew (Wiles) can definitely win!"

"Zhao Yi is also very good, but he is still too young, and can only be said to have good talent, in another twenty years, it is not surprising that he won against Wiles, it is still too early."

"This is tantamount to humiliating yourself!"

"But I don't think that was an act, I've seen that little black guy, he's had a booth here for a few days, and I've talked to him, he has a master's degree from the University of Madrid."

"That's not important!"

Of course, there are people who support Zhao Yi, that is, a group from the National Academy of Sciences, a group from Capital University, including Professor Zhou Li from Yanhua University, also walked to the side to watch, they are a little worried about Zhao Yi.

The famous Wiles, who wrote a paper that not many people in the world can understand, lost a miserable battle with Wiles in the mathematics review.

Their worries didn't last long.

Zhao Yi quickly flipped through the things in his hands, silently calculating the time in his heart, five pages of things is really a little small, and found that quickly finished, he simply flipped through the pages again, and the speed was also much slower.

A minute passed.

Zhao Yi immediately stopped flipping, and instead asked with a smile, "Whose is this?"

"Mine!"

A bearded, scruffy guy came out, wearing clothes with holes in them and looking a little dirty, in stark contrast to the white paper and the clear writing.

The bearded guy seemed completely unconcerned as he came over and asked in amazement, "Are you done reading?"

Zhao Yi nodded.

"Really?" The bearded man's eyes were filled with distrust.

Under the gaze of everyone, including Wiles, Zhao Yi pointed to the paper in his hand with a smile on his face and said, "Your third page, there is a serious error, and it's right here."

He pointed to that place, "Look for yourself!"

The bearded man took it over and looked at it carefully, and with each passing minute his mouth dropped open in amazement, and turned to chagrin, "How could I not have noticed that! I originally thought I had successfully proved the asymmetric inequality system ......."

"Ula Ula~"

The bearded man began to speak English, and then simply dragged up an unknown language, but even if it was replaced by Chinese, Zhao Yi was also completely unable to understand, what asymmetry and so on, beyond his scope of knowledge.

Of course.

At this time must remain calm, with a smile on his face, seeing through everything, as if the image of a priest who is glad that the world has repented, is the most appropriate expression.

The people around us burst into discussion -

"Awesome!"

"So fast! One minute to fix it!"

"Surely it's not an act?"

"Not necessarily!"

"Don't be ridiculous, I know that bearded guy, he's from Norway, and it's said that he's been bored at home for five years, so he's been studying ......."

"......"

Faced with the bearded man's repentance and gratitude, Zhao Yi smiled carelessly and continued, full of indifference, "Is there any more!"

"Mine!"

"Look at mine!"

"Sir, I'd rather see mine, I just handed it to you~"

Zhao Yi received the manuscript in the hand of the last person.

Some of the calculations were completely unintelligible, while others were the contents of differential equations, which were still within the scope of knowledge.

This kind of paper review is the most headache, because there is no other content, just pure equations, function transformations, and all kinds of calculations.

After about three minutes, he called the person over and directly pointed out a calculation error and a substitution error.

It was really remarkable that there were only two simple errors in a dozen pages of complex calculations, but that's the way math works, a little bit of error is not allowed, it has to be completely correct, because a little bit of error can make the conclusion go in the opposite direction.

"Hula~~"

This time there was a complete uproar.

If a black guy, a Norwegian bearded guy, and a 'hired actor' can still be said, the one who just gave Zhao Yi's thesis is a professor from the University of Madrid, who has made contributions to the study of partial differential equations and has a certain reputation in the international mathematical community.

Everyone understood.

Zhao Yi quickly found out the black guy's thesis errors, is simply the real level, and not acting or something like that.

Wiles felt that he was being played.

When Zhao Yi was receiving the fourth man's paper, Wiles had only read less than two pages, and he knew he had lost a big face, and there was no point in staying.

"You're good!"

Wiles said symbolically, with a hateful expression, handed the manuscript to the original owner, and just stepped away.

"Shhh~"

There were cries of derision from the back of the room.

In fact, Wiles was by no means the popular one, even in the UK, he was not very popular among his peers.

It is not that his peers are unpopular, but that Wiles had not done any mathematical research for more than a decade, and he just went around receiving awards, giving lectures, and talking about his proof of Fermat's conjecture.

When one goes around showing off one's accomplishments, it is strange that one gets a good rapport in the industry.

At the same time, there are many top mathematicians who think that Wiles is a fraud, and that his proofs are so complicated, and the proofs before and after are so complicated, that even if one understands them all, it is difficult to sort out all the logical relationships.

So far no one has been able to definitively point out the error, but many top mathematicians still don't buy it, and they think that the proof should be simpler and clearer than most people can understand.

Now that they see Wiles, who is outperformed by a young Chinese man, they even feel a little happy, and are shocked by Zhao Yi's genius program.

"Look at that! It's a genius to solve a paper in two minutes, and they say he's not even 20 years old!"

"No wonder he was able to crack the Kakutani Conjecture, and the proof process was so simple that even an undergraduate could understand it."

"That's the real proof process, not like ......."

"His waveform diagrams are also amazing, and I've been studying them lately, and the more I study them, the more I find them infinitely more subtle and better than the Riemann function."

"......"

After Zhao Yi was out of the limelight, he greeted the surrounding domestic mathematicians, focusing on a few words with Zhou Li from the same university, and then followed the group to the venue for a walk around the inside.

The International Congress of Mathematicians does not have an exact start time, the symbolic opening ceremony, but the conference venue opened early, and the mathematicians have been exchanging ideas for a week.

There is no fixed time for academic presentations, and we will coordinate the arrangements depending on the registration time and personnel.

Zhao Yi, Liu He Min and several people from the Academy of Sciences were assigned to the same discussion group, and they went to their own session room, which was a large conference room with a capacity of more than two hundred people.

Although the capacity of the conference room was not small, with only about one hundred people in a typical group, when important people gave academic presentations, people from other groups would also come to listen to them, which made the venue seem crowded.

At this time, someone was giving an academic report, but because it was only a ten-minute report by a 'minor character', not many people really listened attentively, and it was basically the people on stage talking and the people off stage taking 'sightseeing tours'.

Zhao Yi sat down and listened attentively to a few sentences, and found that it was really not interesting, even he could understand ......

Later, he simply returned to the hotel with the Academy of Sciences group to refresh himself and prepare for his presentation.

He still had a headache in this area.

The '3D tremor waveform diagram' was definitely the most suitable for his speech, but the problems prompted by the "Monitoring Law" were still not solved, and he had a feeling that it was not perfect.

If you just talk about the published research, it seems a bit 'old school'.

"Or just point out Wiles' proof paper?"

He was still reluctant to think about it, and even if he didn't consider the content of the academic report, he still wanted to find out what the problem was.

"Starting from tomorrow, go to the conference hall to listen to the academic lecture, and maybe we can find some inspiration from it."

Zhao Yi made his decision.

The next day, he went to the venue early and listened to the academic lectures one by one with patience and thoughtfulness.

The organizer arranged the academic presentations very regularly, with two invited long presentations taking the stage in the morning and afternoon, and short presentations for individual applications in the remaining time.

Most of the short presentations are not interesting; most of them are just to talk about recent work, or to attract attention, or to make certain points in the hope of getting recognition, or simply to show up on stage.

The long report can still be listened to patiently, such as partial differential equations and other studies, Zhao Yi listened very seriously, some do not understand also made a record.

He felt that in order to find out the conclusions of the "Monitoring Law", complex mathematics in other directions might be of great help.

Unfortunately, Zhao Yi listened for two days in a row.

Zhao Yi listened for two days in a row, and could be said to have gained a lot, and on the third day it was time for him to give his presentation, and he was scheduled to give the last long presentation in the morning.

There was another long report before it, and Zhao Yi intended to close his eyes and rest for a while, but he found that the people on the stage were immediately energetic.

Wiles?

"The following is by Andrew Wiles, giving a presentation about algebraic geometric objects for elliptic curves!"

"Hullo~~"

A round of applause.

With a smile on his face, Wiles opened the microphone, thanked the audience for the applause, and at the same time, looked heavily at Zhao Yi before talking about the content of the speech.
