NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 104
After confirming that Jarvis could solve this difficult math problem, Ye Yunzhou directly authorized it to control his body, and then began to write the solution process in a notebook.
In a corner of the Yanda Library, sunlight shines through the tall windows onto the neatly arranged bookshelves, and the air is filled with the faint fragrance of paper and ink. Here, time seems to slow down, and everything is immersed in tranquility.
Ye Yunzhou sat at a wooden table, holding a pen in his hand, and the tip of the pen gently touched the white paper. As the pen tip danced on the paper, it made an almost inaudible “rustling” sound. This sound, subtle and continuous, is like the sound of leaves rubbing gently in the distance, and like the ripples of the breeze across the lake in the middle of the night.
However, no one knows that these mathematical symbols and mathematical formulas that are difficult for ordinary people to understand will soon shake the entire mathematical community and even the entire scientific community.
……
“Old Han, do you think that is Old Ye?” Zhao Tianyu said after poking Han Mo with his hand.
“Where?”
Han Mo looked in the direction of Zhao Tianyu’s eyes and saw Ye Yunzhou writing something attentively.
“Let’s go, let’s go scare him.” Han Mo said with a smirk.
The two quietly went around Ye Yunzhou from the other side of the bookshelf, wanting to give him a scare. Unexpectedly, when Han Mo saw what Ye Yunzhou wrote in the notebook, he was dumbfounded.
Han Mo stopped Zhao Tianyu behind him with his hand, turned his head and made a silent gesture with his hand at his mouth. Zhao Tianyu was a little strange. What did Han Mo see?
He walked up on tiptoe and saw Ye Yunzhou writing various mathematical formulas quickly in the notebook. He could understand some of the content, but he couldn’t understand most of it because he had just finished the sophomore math course by himself. Han Mo had already learned it until the junior year, so he could understand much more than him.
The two frowned more and more as they looked at it. They only saw the shadow of partial differential equations, and some other things they couldn’t understand at all.
Partial differential equations belong to the category of mathematical analysis. For their major, they will not study it in depth, and there are relatively few courses, and they are only offered in the second year.
Their major mainly studies discrete mathematics in depth.
Discrete mathematics is a general term for very useful mathematical fields in theoretical computer science, including computability theory, computational complexity theory, information theory, etc. Computability theory is used to test the limits of different theoretical models of computers; complexity theory explores the ease with which problems can be processed by computers; information theory focuses on the total amount of data that can be stored in a specific medium, involving concepts such as compression and entropy.
“Let’s go, don’t disturb him, Lao Ye should have inspiration.” Han Mo pulled Zhao Tianyu’s clothes and whispered.
As a gold medalist in the Olympic Games, Han Mo’s mathematical talent is self-evident. He knows that mathematical research requires inspiration. Some mathematicians study a problem for several years or decades, and when inspiration comes, they may be able to solve it in a few hours.
After the two walked away, Zhao Tianyu asked Han Mo: “Old Han, what problem is Old Ye studying? Do you understand it?”
Han Mo shook his head and frowned: “It should be about partial differentials. I didn’t expect Old Ye to choose this aspect.”
“Yes, our major is originally more difficult in discrete mathematics. I didn’t expect Old Ye to have the spare energy to study partial differential equations.” Zhao Tianyu sighed.
Although he is the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Lingnan Province, in the School of Mathematics of Yanda University, what’s the top scorer in the college entrance examination? There are too many geniuses here. When you think you are very powerful, there are always people who are stronger and more powerful than you.
“Old Ye is a person who is really hard to see through.” Han Mo also sighed.
“……”
At this time, in the mathematics magazine storage area of the library, a professor glanced at Ye Yunzhou and suddenly remembered that this was the classmate who shocked the whole school with a violin at the welcome party? His daughter also gave this classmate the title of “Violin Prince”, no wonder he looks so familiar.
As a professor of the School of Mathematics at Yanda University who had just returned from the United States, he really liked those children who had a skill besides academics, and Ye Yunzhou was such a child.
Watching Ye Yunzhou writing and drawing, sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling, made the professor even more curious.
Time passed quickly, and two hours passed in a blink of an eye. Jarvis controlled Ye Yunzhou’s body and had written more than 40 pages.
Ye Yunzhou moved his sore arms and lamented the difficulty of this problem. According to Jarvis’s estimation, the derivation manuscripts of this problem would require at least 5 A4 super-large books in his hand, that is, more than 1,800 A4 sheets of paper would be needed to derive all of them.
At the current writing speed, it would take at least 70 to 80 hours to finish these manuscripts..
Ye Yunzhou stretched his body and prepared to continue writing. Just as he sat down and was about to start writing, he suddenly felt someone behind him. He turned around and saw a middle-aged man looking at the contents of his notebook seriously.
“Classmate, are you studying the N-S equation?”
“Yes, who are you?”
“I am your teacher in the School of Mathematics. My surname is Tian. You are also from the School of Mathematics, right? I saw you at the welcome party that day. You play the violin so well.” Professor Tian looked at Ye Yunzhou with a smile and said.
The surname Tian reminded Ye Yunzhou of a legendary scientist in the School of Mathematics.
“Teacher, your surname is Tian. Are you Professor Tian Gang?”
“Do you know me?”
“It’s really you. You are the idol of our students in the School of Mathematics.”
Ye Yunzhou really didn’t expect to meet this great god here.
Professor Tian Gang was born in Jinling City, Jiangnan Province in November 1958. He graduated from the Department of Mathematics of Nanjing University in 1982, and then entered the Department of Mathematics of Yenching University for further studies under Professor Zhang Qing, and obtained a master’s degree in 1984. After that, he went to Harvard University in the United States for further studies, and obtained a doctorate in 1988. He has taught at Princeton University, Stony Brook University, New York State University, and the Courant Institute of New York University.
Professor Tian Gang’s research areas include differential geometry, algebraic geometry, and mathematical physics. He has made pioneering work on the existence problem of Kähler-Einstein metrics, solving a long-standing world mathematical problem.
He and his collaborators have established a rigorous mathematical foundation in quantum cohomology theory and proved the associativity of quantum cohomology. In addition, Professor Tian has also made outstanding achievements in the study of high-dimensional gauge field mathematics theory. He and Professor Tao Terence have proved the removable singularity theorem of the high-dimensional Yang-Mills equation.
Professor Tian Gang has won many honors and awards, including the Waterman Award in 1994 and the Veblen Award in 1996. In 2001, he was elected as an academician of the Xiaguo Academy of Sciences. In 2002, he was invited to give a one-hour plenary report at the World Congress of Mathematicians. This year, he was specially appointed as a lecture professor at Yenching University.
“Professor Tian, why are you here today?”
“Oh, I’m here to check the latest issues of mathematics magazines.” Professor Tian pointed to the bookshelf of mathematics magazines in front of Ye Yunzhou and said.
“By the way, classmate, I see that you did not use the traditional method to derive the N-S equation. Have you found a new method of argumentation?” Tian Gang continued to look at the contents of Ye Yunzhou’s notebook and said.
“Yes, professor. When I was studying this problem, I found that there would always be errors when using traditional methods, so I considered the differences in the behavior of fluids at the microscopic and macroscopic scales, and introduced the physical mechanism of the microscopic scale into the macroscopic NS equation to more comprehensively describe the characteristics of the fluid.”
“Can you show me your manuscript?”
Ye Yunzhou was not stingy and handed the notebook manuscript on the table to Tian Gang.
Tian Gang opened the notebook and started reading from the first page. The more he read, the more shocked he was.
“Classmate, you are so talented. Your idea is right. If you continue to deduce it, you may be able to prove the N-S equation.”
“By the way, classmate, what’s your name? Are you interested in becoming my doctoral student?”
“Uh, teacher, my name is Ye Yunzhou, and I’m a freshman this year.”
“What? A freshman? A freshman studies the N-S problem?”
This time, Tian Gang was really shocked. You know, freshmen are usually only 18 or 19 years old. At this age, they are geniuses among geniuses if they can learn all the mathematics knowledge in the undergraduate stage. Ye Yunzhou has already started studying the seven major mathematical problems.
“How about this, you write down my phone number. If you have any questions in your research, you can ask me. If I can’t solve them, I can ask my colleagues in the United States for help?”
Tian Gang liked such a genius too much. After leaving the phone number to Ye Yunzhou, he patted Ye Yunzhou on the shoulder and said some encouraging words before leaving with a few mathematics magazines.
