The top student must be diligent.

Chapter 85 Maynard: Fermat has brought bad influence to the mathematical world!
"puff……"

As soon as Xiao Yi said this, the people who were watching the lecture almost burst out laughing.

The space is too small to write here.

Do you think you are Fermat? !
This sentence Xiao Yi said is very famous in the mathematics community. It comes from Fermat, the same Fermat who proposed Fermat's Last Theorem.

Fermat's Last Theorem is also known as Fermat's Last Conjecture. After proposing this conjecture, Fermat, the author of the conjecture, added a sentence in the book: "I am convinced that I have discovered a wonderful proof, but unfortunately the blank space here is too small to write it down."

No one knows whether Fermat really discovered that wonderful proof, but this sentence has become a buzzword in the mathematics community, and many mathematicians have quoted this "famous saying" to one degree or another.

However, the audience at this lecture never expected that Xiao Yi would say such a thing at the end.

Well, the show effect is considered to be maximized.

After everyone was caught off guard, there were bursts of laughter.

Xiao Yi shrugged, saying he was innocent: "It's almost half past five, and this lecture has already been going on for three hours. I'm sure many viewers can't wait."

"So it's not just that the space is too small, it's also that the time is too short."

At this time, he saw Academician Ma Zhiyuan stood up again and asked, "Well, then, Mr. Xiao Fermat, how long will it take for us to see the wonderful proof you mentioned?"

Shaw Fermat?
Or a little horse?
Xiao Yi showed helplessness on his face, and then replied: "In about two days, I will put the content of this report and the proof of the Elliott-Halberstam conjecture on the arxiv preprint website. You are welcome to review it."

"That's good!" Ma Zhiyuan laughed, and then he was the first to applaud.

As the old mathematician, who enjoyed a high reputation in the domestic mathematics community, applauded, other academicians around him also applauded.

Soon, applause spread throughout the entire lecture hall. Listening to the applause, Xiao Yi bowed slightly and paid final tribute to the audience of this report.

For those mathematicians who almost understood Xiao Yi's report, their applause was sincere, and for those who did not understand, although they were a little confused, they understood the Elliott-Halberstam conjecture mentioned by Xiao Yi at the end.
How could this young genius solve such an important mathematical conjecture at such a young age?

Even though they didn't understand, they had already begun looking forward to Xiao Yi's paper in two days.

As for the students sitting in the back...

"Brother Lu, what did Xiao Shen say at the end? What is Eliot... Halbstam conjecture? Is it this thing? He proved it?"

Chen Muhua consulted Lupin beside him with a confused look on his face.

However, Lupin was not much better than him: "How would I know? Although I have almost finished reading the undergraduate mathematics, to be honest, the undergraduate mathematics is basically about things that are hundreds of years old. What Xiao Shen is working on is probably something that really belongs to the last few decades."

Chen Muhua: "So, God Xiao has proved a world problem?"

Lupin was silent for a moment, then said: "Although we cannot say that yet, after all, it still needs to be verified by the academic community, but it seems to have become a fact."

These mathematical geniuses in the eyes of others have probably suffered all the blows they had in their previous lives in just one day.

Just as Lupin said, undergraduate mathematics basically studies things that are hundreds of years old. Although some of them are from a hundred years ago, no matter what, they are "learning" things that others have come up with.

Even if you are a PhD in mathematics, you may only be learning content from the 20th century.

So there's a joke that studying biology is the most cost-effective because you can learn things that were just published in SCN last week, but if you study mathematics you can never avoid things that were thousands of years old.

However, Xiao Yi is now studying things at the forefront of mathematics.

They felt a huge gap.

……

"Mr. Liao, did you see that? This is what our undergraduate students at USTC came up with. What do you think?" On the other side, Hu Guangde laughed, patted Liao Huan next to him, and started to look sullen.

Liao Huan's face was full of black lines, and he finally said: "That's Xiao Yiniu, what does it have to do with you?"

"Hey, just acknowledge Xiao Yiniu, since he is from our school." Hu Guangde said cheerfully.

Liao Huan stood up suddenly and faced Hu Guangde.

Hu Guangde raised his eyebrows: "What do you want? Fight?"

"Get out of the way, I need to go to the bathroom!"

"Shall we go together?" Hu Guangde raised his eyebrows and asked.

The corners of Liao Huan's eyes twitched, and after a moment, he finally burst out in silence: "You're awesome, okay?"

"Hey, why didn't you say it earlier!" Hu Guangde looked relieved and gave up his seat to Liao Huan.

……

"damn!!!"

In his office at Oxford University, Professor Maynard let out a wail.

"Why did he stop here?"

"The next step is to prove the Elliott-Halberstam conjecture! Why does he have to pay for it?!"

Maynard was filled with resentment.

Elliott-Halberstam conjecture!
This is a question he has been looking forward to for many years, and of course it is also a question that all analytic number theory scholars have been looking forward to for many years.

Now the answer is right in front of us, but now we have to wait two more days!!

"It's all Fermat's fault! He left a bad impression on our mathematics community!"

At this moment, the office door was opened and his students walked in one by one, including Li Qiman, who came today to get his mentor's final signature.

However, what they never expected was that as soon as they entered the room, they saw their own mentor criticizing the atmosphere in the mathematics community, and the target of the criticism was even...

Fermat?

Ok?
Why is the trend in the mathematical community related to Fermat, a man who lived hundreds of years ago?

"Professor, what are you talking about? Fermat...what happened?" As the "senior brother" who had just graduated, Li Qiman took on the responsibility of asking questions.

Maynard glanced at them, then called his students over and began to teach them: "I remind you that when you come up with something in the future, don't imitate Fermat's saying that the space is too small and you can't write it. Otherwise, when you graduate and come to me for my signature, I can only say that the space is too small and I can't write it."

Li Qiman was sweating profusely. "Um, Professor... I came here today just to get your signature..."

"Oh, Lichtman, you're lucky." Maynard looked at Lichtman and said.

Lichtman breathed a sigh of relief.

But Maynard continued, "Fortunately, you completed your defense yesterday. Otherwise, the theta value would have been pushed to 0.75 just now, and the results of your thesis would now be outdated."

"Walter?" Li Qiman was really sweating profusely now.
