Chapter 22 Public Opinion Storm
Pang Xuelin told this history in a casual manner. The quiet needles in the classroom were heard. Everyone was attracted by the stories of Abel and Galois, and they also became very interested in group theory.
"I thought Pang Shen's lecture would be boring, but I didn't expect it to be so interesting."
"Shen Pang is really good at fooling me. After listening to the achievements of Galova and Abel, I instantly aroused my desire to learn mathematics. It's so terrible. Fortunately, reason helped me curb this evil idea."
"Galova and Abel are so awesome. You said I'm starting to study hard now. Is it possible to be like them?"
"Hmph, you are just thinking too much, the one on the podium is almost the same!"
...
From time to time, slight discussions came from the audience, and before I knew it, more than an hour passed.
Pang Xuelin looked at the time and said, "Okay, today I will tell the history of algebra, the origin of group theory, and the stories of two great mathematicians Abel and Gallois. We will formally explain in the next class about how Gallois and Abel prove that there is no root solution for the 1000 5th-order equation through group theory. The reason why I talked to you so much is that I hope that you can always maintain a heart on the road to learning mathematics. In the near future, among you, there will also be mathematical masters like Gallois and Abel who can fundamentally promote the progress of human civilization! There are still twenty minutes left below, so you can ask any questions at any time if you have any questions."
A buzzing sound suddenly sounded in the classroom, and soon, arms raised high like a forest.
"This classmate, yes, it's the one wearing glasses in a plaid shirt!"
Pang Xuelin pointed to a boy sitting in the back row and said.
Soon, a boy wearing thick glasses and looking dull, stood up and said, "Professor Pang, I have previewed the concepts of abstract algebra before class, but it is very difficult to understand. I would like to ask if there is any suitable reference book recommendation?"
Pang Xuelin laughed and said, "Let's do this, I recommend a few books to you. The first one is Mr. Qiu Weisheng's "Basics of Abstract Algebra". This book is clear and detailed and appropriate, which is very suitable for beginners to study. The second one is "field and galois theory". The characteristics of this book are gradual and each theorem is clearly proved. In addition, I also specially recommend Lederman's "Introduction to the Group Theory", which is considered a treasure for beginners. Our school library should have it. You can compare this book with Mr. Qiu Weisheng's "Basics of Abstract Algebra". The contents of the two books are the same, and the proof methods are almost the same. However, different people's different narrative methods will give you completely different feelings and will also give you a deeper understanding of some basic concepts of abstract algebra."
"Thank you, Teacher Pang! I will collect the books you recommend as soon as possible."
The boy with glasses sat down, and Pang Xuelin pointed to a tall and thin boy and said, "Student, do you have any questions?"
The tall and thin boy said: "Professor Pang, I would like to ask, it has been rumored online recently that you have proved the BSD conjecture. Is this news true?"
After the words fell, the needles fell quietly in the classroom, and all the students focused their attention on Pang Xuelin.
Although the proof of the BSD conjecture has not been officially made public, there are already many rumors on the Internet and in the school. Most of the people here understand the importance of the BSD conjecture, so they all want to hear what Pang Xuelin himself said.
Pang Xuelin smiled slightly and said, "I did write a proof paper about the BSD conjecture, but this paper is still in the peer review stage, so I can't tell you whether I have proved the BSD conjecture. This requires the answers from colleagues in the mathematics community, but I think this day should not be too long!"
The boy said again: "Teacher Pang, then do you think your proof is correct?"
Pang Xuelin said: "As far as I am concerned, since I have submitted that paper, I am 100% sure, but we still need to wait and see whether it can be recognized by my colleagues in the mathematics community!"
"Thank you, Teacher Pang!"
A tall and thin man sat down.
At this time, a female voice suddenly came from the classroom: "Teacher Pang, you just called the boy and asked questions. Now it should be our girls' turn, right?"
When Pang Xuelin looked over the sound, he found that the one who made the sound was the beautiful mixed-race girl he had seen in the morning.
Pang Xuelin smiled and said, "Okay, this classmate, do you have any questions?"
The mixed-race girl stood up and showed a sly smile on her face and said, "Teacher Pang, I want to ask if you have a girlfriend?"
After a buzz, the originally serious classroom became lively in an instant.
Ha ha ha ha
The students burst into laughter, and many boys even whistled.
The mixed-race girl pursed her lips tightly, and looked at Pang Xuelin without blinking. Pang Xuelin said helplessly: "Not yet!"
"Then have you been in a relationship before?"
Pang Xuelin said: "This is a private question. Can I refuse to answer it?"
The girl smiled and said, "Okay, let me change the question. Teacher Pang, do you have the girl you like now?"
Pang Xuelin patted his head. Are all the post-95s and post-00s now so fierce?
After a while, he replied: "No!"
The mixed-race girl nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Teacher Pang, thank you, I have no other problems!"
Fortunately, after the girl asked the question, the bell rang on time for the end of get out of class.
Pang Xuelin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll be here for this class today, and the get out of class is over now!"
"well……"
Many people in the classroom sighed suddenly, as if they were a little disappointed that they could no longer see the scene of the Mathematics Department teasing the God of Learning.
Pang Xuelin put his laptop into his computer bag, packed up his own things, and followed the abortion out of the classroom with the computer bag.
Before he could take two steps, a call came from behind him.
"Teacher Pang, Teacher Pang!"
Pang Xuelin stopped and saw the tall mixed-race girl Xiaobu running towards him. She was close to her, but the girl disappeared. Her previous gentle and delicate pretty face slightly flushed, and she smiled sweetly: "Teacher Pang, I was embarrassed just now. I was a little too excited when I saw my idol, so the questions I asked were more sensitive. By the way, if I apply for your graduate student in the future, you won't beat me down, right?"
Pang Xuelin said with a headache: "Then you have to work hard, I have high requirements for students!"
The mixed-race girl clenched her fists and said, "Teacher Pang, don't worry, I will definitely meet your requirements. By the way, my name is Ai Ai, you must remember it!"
Pang Xuelin was slightly stunned: "Ai Ai?"
Ai Ai smiled and said, "My father is Chinese, Ai, Ai, Ai, and My mother is British, and her name is Alice, so they named me Ai Ai."
"Okay, I remember!"
"Teacher Pang, then I won't disturb you anymore. Goodbye!"
"goodbye!"
Pang Xuelin looked at Ai Ai's back and couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
At this moment, his cell phone ringtone suddenly rang.
Pang Xuelin was slightly stunned, picked up his phone and pressed the answer button, and Liu Tingbo's heartfelt laughter came from the other end of the phone: "Xiao Pang, Tao Zhexuan just published a blog, officially recognizing your proof of your BSD conjecture. This is the first heavyweight mathematician in the world to publicly recognise your achievements. It may trigger a public opinion storm in the future. You must be mentally prepared!"
Pang Xuelin smiled and said, "Director Liu, don't worry, I know it in my heart!"
Soon, Pang Xuelin returned to the apartment, turned on the computer and logged into Tao Zhexuan's blog.
In the blog, Tao Zhexuan comprehensively analyzed Pang Xuelin's proof paper on the BSD conjecture and made the following evaluation: "The correctness of a mathematical proposition depends on whether its conclusion is concise and powerful. Pang completed a great job. He embarked on a brand new path on the BSD conjecture problem, starting from the problem of confusion numbers, and finally completing the entire conjecture proof process. This is another masterpiece after Perelman completed the Poincaré conjecture proof in 2002."
Pang Xuelin couldn't help but feel a little moved. He was just an unknown mathematician internationally. He uploaded the BSD conjecture to Arxiv before, which only caused a certain response in the mathematics community. Major media are still in the wait-and-see stage.
Tao Zhexuan now made such a statement, pushing himself to the forefront, and also gaining his academic reputation.
However, to a certain extent, it also shows Tao Zhexuan's confidence in this paper.
Tao Zhexuan has extraordinary influence. Half an hour after his blog was posted, CNN took the lead in reporting the relevant news: "Not long ago, Chinese mathematician Pang Xuelin's proof paper on BSD conjecture on ARMXiv. The result was recently won the Fields Medal winner. Professor Tao Zhexuan from the University of California, Los Angeles publicly admitted that our reporter interviewed a Raymond researcher from the Clay Institute of Mathematics in the United States. Raymond said that the Clay Institute has organized relevant experts to verify the result!"
As soon as CNN was reported, major media around the world followed suit.
Associated Press: "Chinese mathematicians overcome the seven major problems of the millennium and are expected to win the million-dollar prize!"
bbc: "The seven major math problems in the millennium have won another game, and the 23-year-old math prodigy in China showed extraordinary talent."
Reuters: "Chinese mathematician Pang Xuelin claims to complete the BSD conjecture proof and the Fields Medal winner Tao Zhexuan supports it!"
Xinhua News Agency: "Chinese mathematician Professor Pang Xuelin recently released a 63-page BSD conjecture proof paper on the preprint platform of the internationally renowned paper, arxiv, which has attracted widespread attention from the mathematics community. According to the internationally renowned mathematician and the first Chinese Fields Medal winner, Professor Yau Chengtong, the founding of the Pang Xuelin's proof plan has been widely favored by the academic community, and the results are currently being further verified."
...
Major media around the world have successively reported the news that the BSD conjecture has been proved, and Pang Xuelin has also fallen into a public opinion storm.
In less than half a day, Pang Xuelin received more than a hundred calls from major media around the world.
God knows how these reporters get their own private mobile phone numbers.
Except for dealing with a few sentences at the beginning, Pang Xuelin simply mutes his phone, and except for a few phones, all other phones refused to answer.
Online, discussions about Pang Xuelin and BSD conjectures quickly spread from niche forums to the entire network.
On the hot search list on Sina Weibo, Pang Xuelin ranked first, with the second place being the BSD conjecture, and the third place being the million-dollar prize...
Chapter completed!
