Bruce Pulitzer regarded reviewing the paper on the hail conjecture as the most important task. He was worried that his level was not enough, so he went directly to the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.
He found Andrew Wiles to help 'split' the content of the paper.
Andrew Wiles is one of the most famous mathematics professors at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. He can even be said to be one of the most famous mathematicians in the world. He can be ranked in the top three because he completed the proof of Fermat's conjecture.
, making this century-old conjecture become Fermat’s Last Theorem.
After completing the proof of Fermat's conjecture, Andrew Wiles can be said to have become famous.
Over the past twenty years, his main job has been to be invited to give lectures at universities and institutions around the world. By the way, he has won a series of awards and participated in the affairs of some mathematical societies.
Of course, being invited to serve as a reviewer for top mathematics journals is also indispensable.
Facing the proof paper of the famous mathematical conjecture, Andrew Wiles was naturally full of interest. His level was indeed very high. He studied with his colleagues for more than an hour, browsed it from beginning to end, and divided the paper into seven parts.
parts.
Andrew Wiles said, "Although the paper does not have many pages, the proofs are not easy to understand."
"Even if there are only two or three pages of content, it will take a long time to confirm (whether it is correct)."
Bruce Pulitzer grinned when he heard this. A mathematical proof paper with more than 20 pages turned out to be "a paper with not many pages"?
A mathematical proof, more than twenty pages?
The only person in the world who can say this is probably Andrew Wiles. His proof of Fermat's conjecture exceeds one hundred pages, and twenty pages is just a fraction.
With the help of Andrew Wiles, the thesis splitting process went smoothly.
Together with his colleagues, Andrew Wiles decided to review the first two sections of the paper.
Bruce Pulitzer sent other parts to the people he had contacted before. His network was indeed very wide. Among the people responsible for reviewing the content, there were three Fields winners, one Wolfe winner, and two
The first one is a professor from the Clay Research Institute, and the gorgeous lineup is enough to make people stagger.
They worked together to examine the proof of the hail conjecture.
…
Wang Hao found that the paper had entered the second review status, and he was somewhat looking forward to passing the review. His proof had no problems, and it was not as complicated as Wiles's proof of Fermat's conjecture, which required his own explanation to confirm the content.
.
So Wang Hao is not too worried. It is only a matter of time before the review is passed.
These days, his life is neither hasty nor slow.
I was so tired some time ago that I kept doing research whenever I had time and spent almost all my time on work.
Now that the proof of the hail conjecture has been completed, we can naturally relax for a while and there is no need to consider new research for the time being.
At least this week is very leisurely. His elective course "Elementary Number Theory" started in the third week, and his retake course on probability theory also started in the third week.
In other words, he has no course left.
In terms of scientific research, there is no new content for the time being, and there are no courses in teaching.
Wang Hao has become the most leisurely person in the office in the complex building, because no students usually come to see him, so he just goes to work, drinks coffee, reads books, and even watches several movies in a row.
In the afternoon, Wang Hao took Zhang Zhiqiang's car and went to the mall. Chatting with Zhang Zhiqiang on the way, he felt that he should also buy a car.
Zhang Zhiqiang kept talking about his car, "It costs 180,000 yuan, a joint venture car. This car is easy to drive, has enough horsepower, and accelerates quickly. It is no worse than those cars that cost 40, 500,000 yuan."
"The main thing is that the car is small, light, has enough power, and accelerates quickly..."
As he spoke, he also showed off his driving skills, accelerating and overtaking the car in front, with a proud smile on his face.
Wang Hao thought about it and said, "I remembered it. There seems to be a 4S store next to the shopping mall. How about I go and have a look?"
"Let's go, I'll take you there."
Zhang Zhiqiang immediately became interested and took Wang Hao to the 4S store.
After they entered the 4S store where the car was sold, it only took them 20 minutes before they came out with the salesperson smiling apologetically.
After getting in the car again, Zhang Zhiqiang asked with confusion, "Wang Hao, why did you decide without thinking about it for a while?"
"You should take a closer look and study carefully to see which car is more cost-effective, and the one you ordered is a bit expensive."
"I think the order was too hasty. Stores like theirs only make money from people like you."
Wang Hao asked with some confusion, "Is it expensive?"
"That's not true." Zhang Zhiqiang shook his head and said, "He initially said 270,000, but then I helped you pay back 3,000, didn't I? In the end, it was 267,000. The price should be okay, but..."
Zhang Zhiqiang didn’t know how to express it either.
Wang Hao only saw one car and made a decision immediately. He helped pay the price, but how could he buy a car in such a hurry?
He always felt weird and something was wrong.
Wang Hao said nonchalantly, "As long as it's not more expensive than what others bought, it'll be fine."
Zhang Zhiqiang was still a little entangled. He tried his best to express his thoughts, "But you should research it, right? In terms of power, cost performance, and model, you don't have to buy this brand."
Wang Hao shook his head and said, "Why do so much research? This car seems to be the best-selling car of this brand, so there is no need to analyze it."
"I don't understand cars. No matter how carefully I study, can I still understand it better than those who sell cars? Why waste so many brain cells? The market has already done the analysis for me."
"...It seems to make sense." Zhang Zhiqiang thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be the truth.
After starting the car, his mind couldn't help but start thinking.
When he bought a car, he researched it for a long time in advance. After settling on two or three models, he struggled for a long time. He even read a lot of guides online before finally making his decision.
When Wang Hao bought a car, he just went in and looked at one model. Knowing that this model was the most popular, he decided to order it.
What is the difference?
He spent a lot of energy on researching and buying a car, while Wang Hao didn't spend any energy at all. It was like going to the mall to buy a piece of clothing. It didn't matter what the material was, as long as it looked pleasing to the eye.
The results of it?
The car he bought didn't seem to be more cost-effective than the car Wang Hao bought.
Zhang Zhiqiang cleared his mind and couldn't help but fall into deeper thinking, "Is this what makes me worse than Wang Hao? I always waste energy on these meaningless things."
"Even if you try very hard to analyze, the results you get may not be correct. It can even be said that it doesn't make any sense. You just buy which car sells better. The market has already helped with the analysis."
"It makes sense!"
As Zhang Zhiqiang thought about it, he felt that his life had gained a new understanding, and his thoughts seemed to have entered a new level.
After Wang Hao got out of the car and left, when he was sitting alone in the car, he suddenly felt something was wrong when he thought about it carefully...
“Why do I have to worry about buying a car for so long?”
"If I had millions in my hands, I wouldn't worry about it. I would just buy the one I see is good. What is the price/performance ratio? I don't care!"
"Still poor..."
He immediately shed tears of poverty.
A few days later.
Wang Hao picked up his new car, got the license plate, and drove to work. He was in a good mood.
Although the school was very close to his home, because he had a new car, it felt better to drive it. When he got to the road, he saw a familiar figure.
"Su Yingxue!"
Wang Hao opened the car window and shouted.
Su Yingxue was wearing a long down jacket and walking slowly along the roadside. She turned her head in confusion and smiled when she saw Wang Hao, "Did you buy a new car?"
"Yes, do you go to school too?"
"Go to the NanoVis laboratory." Su Yingxue said.
Wang Hao nodded and signaled Su Yingxue to get in the car. After she put on her seat belt, she asked with a smile, "Are you a novice driver?"
"Don't worry, veteran driver." Wang Hao said with a smile, stepped on the accelerator and walked forward in a leisurely manner. He was indeed an experienced driver in his previous life, but he still had to get used to the new car.
The two started chatting.
Su Yingxue talked about the Nanoscale Laboratory and that there will be people from the Institute of Aeronautical Materials. "I heard from Professor Xia that it seems that the Nanoscale Laboratory will develop in the future."
Wang Hao didn't care much. He followed up with a few words and asked about the progress of the microsphere research project.
