Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 427 A Different Story
The path of Linnik's theorem has also been studied by many mathematicians.
Because Linnik himself did not specify the allowable value of k in the paper.
Therefore, mathematicians since then have always been committed to the study of k value along this path.
Over the years, the allowable value of k has increased from the initial value of 54,000 to 2,000 and now to 13.
No matter what, there are still mathematicians walking on every path.
Each path has its own ideas.
But each path cannot provide the final answer.
And as research continues, subsequent improvements will only become more and more difficult.
Chen Zhou couldn't help but sigh.
This is probably why I guess it has slowly turned into a lonely Shura road.
When Chen Zhou had finished sorting out the four paths, his draft paper was already full.
Not one, but five!
There were five full A4 draft papers, all filled with dense writing.
Above that horizontal line is the essence.
On the other four A4 draft papers are the essence of the four paths and the contents that are expanded upon respectively.
Chen Zhou looked at the results of his research throughout the night, as well as the replaced pen refill .
I'm in a pretty good mood.
This is a beginning, a pretty good beginning.
After tidying up the draft paper, Chen Zhou stretched again.
"Well, is it already past 2 o'clock?"
Chen Zhou twisted his neck and stood up.
At this point, you can go to bed.
As for Yang Yiyi, she returned to her dormitory around 12 o'clock.
Before leaving, he just said a few words to Chen Zhou, and didn't care about Chen Zhou's appearance of staying up late and working hard.
After taking a 10-minute shower, Chen Zhou climbed onto the bed and fell asleep immediately.
Nearly half a month passed since then.
Chen Zhou has his own rhythm.
The good living habits and active learning habits that have been developed are all urging the self-disciplined Chen Zhou.
Chen Zhou also strictly followed the established plan and advanced his dual research in mathematics and physics in an orderly manner.
Perhaps, this will seem boring to many people.
But, for Chen Zhou.
Every day, he gains a lot.
Just look at the piles of draft paper and the used pen refills kept as souvenirs.
Chen Zhou felt a great sense of accomplishment.
Not to mention, we are enriching our knowledge every day.
Of course, the pages of content piled up in the collection of wrong questions are also another kind of gain.
As for the overall research progress.
Chen Zhou has already started to finish the theoretical content of the rubber ball project.
The next step will be to start research based on specific experiments.
And Ge Chai, who applied for the national "Thousand Talents Plan" project, is like the funds that have not yet arrived.
There are results in the research of this topic, but no answers.
The result is that after so much time, there has been some progress.
Especially the distribution structure method, Chen Zhou made some modifications and improved it.
As for the answer, there is definitely still a long way to go before my guess is finally proven.
Chen Zhou sometimes wonders whether the project funds will bring him some inspiration when they arrive.
Of course, if there is enough funding for the project, Chen Zhou thinks it is still very possible.
The only thing that surprised Chen Zhou was that his mentors, Professor Artin and Professor Friedman, seemed to have started teaching in a laissez-faire manner.
Chen Zhou is the sheep placed on the big lawn.
Completely, leaving Chen Zhou to graze on his own.
They don’t care whether they can squeeze out “milk” in the end.
Speaking of the laissez-faire style of teaching, Chen Zhou was also doing this when he was at Yanjing University.
After he reached a friendly graduation agreement with the School of Mathematics and the School of Physics, he was left alone.
Going further back, it would probably be physical education classes in elementary, middle and high school.
Every physical education teacher is well aware of the true meaning of herding style of teaching.
Chen Zhou remembered that in previous physical education classes, the students basically just ran a lap and then were dismissed.
Then the PE teacher disappeared and reappeared just before the end of get out of class.
Then we gathered together to talk, and then the get out of class was dismissed!
However, this kind of laissez-faire teaching is the favorite class for primary, middle and high school students.
Therefore, it can be said that Chen Zhou has developed the habit of being taught in a laissez-faire style since he was a child.
This habit is still being used to good effect today.
During this period, Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu also came to see Chen Zhou.
However, looking at this junior brother, his desk was filled with draft papers.
The two people seemed very ashamed.
Even the idea of inviting Chen Zhou to go out for a walk, or to attend some parties or coffee hours, was something I couldn't bring myself to say.
I had no choice but to go to parties and other events alone with my girlfriend, or without her.
In addition to them, classmates from the dormitories around Chen Zhou also came to get to know Chen Zhou.
After all, this is a math giant who made history at MIT.
It is still necessary to communicate more and get to know each other better.
However, they really couldn't understand Chen Zhou's method of studying at home.
They feel that learning is a combination of work and rest.
Attending more parties and taking part in group activities is a better way to learn.
So, in the absence of understanding, they can only explain to themselves that everyone has a learning style that suits them.
Of course, they also invited Chen Zhou to participate in the event.
But Chen Zhou politely rejected them all.
After all, Chen Zhou is now fully focused on the research project.
If you really want to relax.
It’s enough to just take a walk after dinner with Yang Yiyi every day.
Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi have now almost toured the entire MIT campus.
The figures of the two were left in every place.
Naturally, Chen Zhou did not attend parties or other activities, and Yang Yiyi also refused them one by one.
Yang Yiyi’s idea is also very simple.
That is, we must never let Chen Zhou pull away too far.
Although her mentor, Professor Rainer Weiss, received the Shaw Prize in Astronomy in Hong Kong, China.
He was also invited to give a speech at Hong Kong University and has not yet returned to MIT.
Although Professor Rainer Weiss left some information for Yang Yiyi before leaving.
Although Yang Yiyi has already read most of this information.
However, Yang Yiyi's ability to learn proactively is not inferior to Chen Zhou's.
Think about the particle accelerator experiment. Chen Zhou had to go to Luzhou temporarily, so Yang Yiyi produced the data results alone.
It is clear that Yang Yiyi's strength is still very strong.
Therefore, Yang Yiyi is also following Chen Zhou's learning pace.
As a result, the story of the two began to circulate on the MIT campus.
However, this story is somewhat different from the legendary story posted on the Yanda campus website.
This story is about Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi, who are learning in an almost closed-off ascetic manner.
The vast majority of MIT students cannot accept this way of learning.
In fact, not only them, but even many professors did not quite understand after hearing about this .
However, these two people have certain special characteristics.
If their mentor doesn't care, others can only "criticize in secret".
Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi, the protagonists of the story, don't care about the opinions of others at all.
They make steady progress and maintain their own learning pace.
Just like they didn’t care too much about the legend posts of Yanda University, and just like they were the focus of attention wherever they went.
Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi continued to immerse themselves in their own world of study and research.
