Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 276: Do you want to change the ticket now?
Compared with the previous fleeting inspiration that he failed to grasp, Chen Zhou is not so anxious now.
He vaguely felt that the proof of Cramer's conjecture might require a special mathematical tool.
Or maybe there isn't just one, but multiple.
Of course, this is just his personal feeling.
On the big screen, the movie "The Imitation Game" has come to an end.
Chen Zhou felt a little emotional. From the perspective of watching a movie with Yang Yiyi alone, this is actually not a movie suitable for couples to watch together.
But from Chen Zhou's personal perspective, this is indeed an excellent movie.
Moreover, it brought Chen Zhou unexpected gains.
After the movie ended, Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi walked out hand in hand.
After that, the two went to look for something delicious.
This afternoon and this evening, Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi were out shopping and playing.
Chen Zhou also briefly bid farewell to Cramer's conjecture and correction problem.
But, the next day.
There are more than two days left before leaving for MIT.
Early in the morning, after running, I had breakfast.
Chen Zhou quickly packed up all the necessary items, including new draft paper, a pen refilled with ink, and a computer in top condition...
Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi arrived at the study area at the time when the library opened.
"Unimodal distribution, also known as normal distribution, or Gaussian distribution..."
Chen Zhou began to realize his inspiration and put his ideas into practice.
The problem of prime number intervals, after all, is still a question of the distribution law of prime numbers.
On the draft paper, Chen Zhou extracted the essence of the literature he searched and turned it into content that was more convenient for him to use.
Time passes by every second.
Chen Zhou had more and more thoughts in his mind.
“The central limit theorem is closely related to the normal distribution…”
“Central Limit Theorem, proved by Fourier Transform?”
"So is it related to the Circle Method?"
“…”
The more ideas he had, the more excited Chen Zhou became.
When doing mathematical research, I am afraid of having an empty mind.
Even if these ideas are all wrong, it is better than having no ideas at all.
Chen Zhou didn't even notice the several hours in the morning passing by.
To the extent that, when he and Yang Yiyi went to the cafeteria to eat at noon, it was Yang Yiyi who pulled him along.
Yang Yiyi was afraid that he would hit the electric pole...
After dinner, Chen Zhou immediately returned to the library.
Lines of formulas and symbols appeared under his pen.
Chen Zhou seemed to have found the right state.
Just like when he was studying the hail hypothesis, he worked day and night, but ideas flowed like a spring in his mind.
That day, Chen Zhou downloaded dozens of documents.
He and Yang Yiyi didn't leave until the library closed.
As soon as he returned to the dormitory, Chen Zhou quickly took out his computer, draft paper and other things.
Continue research.
Zhao Qiqi and the other two, who were originally planning to ask Chen Zhou how his preparations were going, immediately swallowed back the words that were about to come out of their mouths.
They have seen Chen Zhou in this state!
Sure enough, when it was half past 11, Chen Zhou went to take a shower.
After taking a shower, Zhao Qiqi and the others saw Chen Zhou lying on the bed, flipping through the notebook in his hand.
Then, as expected.
They watched Chen Zhou flip through the notebook in his hand, then got off the bed and sat down at the desk.
Next, there was the sound of paper and pen rubbing against each other.
Zhao Qiqi, Zhu Mingli and Li Li looked at each other.
But at the same time, a hint of curiosity emerged in the hearts of the three people.
Could it be that Chen Zhou...
No matter what the three of them were thinking, Chen Zhou was immersed in the world of mathematics at this moment.
Mathematics is everything to him now.
Chen Zhou was still sitting at the desk until Zhao Qiqi and the other two went to bed.
Chen Zhou didn't know what time he had finally made it.
All he knew was that when he lay in bed, he didn't feel sleepy at all.
On the contrary, he was very energetic...
November 12th.
There is more than a day left before Chen Zhou leaves for MIT .
In the library.
At the old seat, Chen Zhou was holding a pen, writing something quickly on the draft paper.
"Use the idea of normal distribution, combine it with the idea of circle method, and then use the sieve method..."
"The distribution pattern of prime numbers and the problem of the interval between prime numbers..."
November 13th.
Before he knew it, Chen Zhou had been studying the movie for two days since he finished watching it.
According to the school's schedule, today is the day when Chen Zhou and Dean Sun are going to the United States to attend an academic conference.
This afternoon, they will take a South China Airlines flight directly to Boston.
Just like the previous two days, Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi walked into the library on time.
Chen Zhou has not yet completely solved the Cramer conjecture and correction problem.
However, Chen Zhou has basically determined the solution to the problem.
Just as Chen Zhou thought, he used a variety of mathematical tools.
However, there is a clear connection between each mathematical tool.
Chen Zhou felt that he might have discovered something remarkable.
Therefore, he is now perfecting the tools to solve the problem.
In other words, he was perfecting the mathematical methods and ideas for solving problems.
At 11 a.m., Chen Zhou received a call from President Zhou.
Looking at the caller ID, Chen Zhou was dazed for a moment.
After looking at the time, he picked up his phone, frowned, and walked out of the study area.
As soon as the call was connected, Chen Zhou heard Dean Zhou ask, "Chen Zhou, have you packed everything? We'll be leaving soon."
"Uh..." Chen Zhou hesitated slightly, but still said, "Dean Zhou, can I change my ticket?"
"What?" Dean Zhou didn't understand what Chen Zhou meant for a moment, "You want to change your ticket now? You're not going?"
Chen Zhou said: "The academic conference lasts for five days, and I want to go there later."
Dean Zhou immediately asked, "Why?"
Chen Zhou did not hide it and said directly: "The research on Cramer's conjecture has entered a critical stage. I can't leave now!"
After hearing Chen Zhou's words, Dean Zhou was stunned for a moment. What did this kid just say?
Has the research on Cramer's conjecture entered a critical stage?
What does this mean?
Could it be that he is going to solve the problem of Cramer's conjecture?
After taking a deep breath, Dean Zhou asked uncertainly, "Chen Zhou, do you mean that you are going to solve the difficult problem of Cramer's conjecture?"
Chen Zhou thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure either, but now, I'm trying my best."
For some reason, Dean Zhou felt relieved when he heard Chen Zhou say this.
Who can solve two world- ?
Is this still a human being?
Since Chen Zhou said he’s not sure, that’s easy.
Dean Zhou then said, "Chen Zhou, you can continue your research after you get to MIT. You can also communicate with Dean Sun and others on the way. Maybe it will be helpful for you to solve this problem."
Chen Zhou didn't say anything. He was thinking about what to say.
