Chapter 1032

The unity of algebra and geometry has been a long-standing topic.

In fact, this is not a practical research direction, even contrary to the general trend of the development of mathematics.

After all, as we all know, as most of the disciplines move from shallow water to deep water, the branches of research will be like branches in bushes. The more prosperous, the more complex.

The same is true of mathematics.

If it can be said that two centuries ago, we can still find such omnipotent and proficient scholars in all fields as Gauss, then even Tao Zhechuan, a genius like iq230, can only achieve omnipotence in a limited range and proficient in a limited range.

And for most people, let alone be able to master, to master a certain direction of knowledge, and to make certain achievements on this, it has become an independent scholar.

For the huge proposition of unified algebra and geometry, except that a few geniuses will suddenly come up with similar ideas, few people will be idle and bored to think about this kind of problem which is more impractical than proving a certain mathematical conjecture, let alone regard it as the opening report of this year.

However, it is precisely because of this that the work that can only be done by a few people is precious in the long history of mathematics.

Looking back on the era of Descartes and Fermat, through the study of Cartesian coordinate geometry, people for the first time organically combine Algebra with geometry.

Imagine how surprised he would be if he put a lighter in the hands of the primitive man and told him that he could work for dozens of minutes with a stick instead of a button?

Although it's a knowledge that even junior high school students can skillfully use now, for the mathematical circle at that time, the sensation was groundbreaking, and analytic geometry dominated the mathematical circle for almost several centuries. Until 1857, a genius named Riemann put forward the theory of algebraic functions and the second half of the sentence in the history of algebraic geometry The professor spoke in a voice that only two people could hear, but also in a joking tone.

After hearing that, Lu Zhou was slightly stunned and then said with a smile.

"I'll think about it."

Under everyone's eyes, Lu Zhou followed Professor Holden's instructions, shook hard and opened the champagne. Sweet bubbles are like wings, sprayed on the ceiling, and sprinkled with many listeners in the front row.

Lu Zhou wanted to apologize to these unfortunate guys, but saw that instead of being angry, he stood up happily, laughing happily, holding the wet mark on his chest and showing off his friends. Instead, he saw the envious and regretful expressions on the faces of several professors who had not been sprayed.

So the matter of regret was ended.

The atmosphere at the scene peaked.

A glass of wine was poured into the goblet handed by the staff of the hotel. Lu Zhou raised his glass to the audience. After drinking it all, he returned the glass and the remaining champagne to Professor Holden. He waved and walked out of the meeting.

At this moment, the reporters waiting outside the lecture hall have been waiting for a long time.

If they were not stopped by the security guards at the door and heard the applause and whistles coming from the lecture hall, they would like to rush in and explore.

Therefore, when the door of the lecture hall opened and saw the land boat appearing at the door, a group of reporters immediately surrounded it like a shark smelling the fishy smell.

"Professor Lu Zhou, has Riemann's conjecture been proved?"

"Will you go to the French Academy and get a million dollar prize from Cray Institute? What will you do after you get the bonus? Will it be donated to those who need it? "

"I heard that your research was influenced by your student, Ms. Willa puyoi. Is that true?"

"Does Riemann's conjecture mean that the rules of modern cryptography will be rewritten? Are our bank cards and social accounts no longer secure? "

"Professor Lu Zhou..."

In the face of a microphone crazily reaching out to him, and those questions like peas, Lu Zhou didn't answer a word. Under the escort of a group of strong men, he kept walking towards the direction of the elevator.

Just a few minutes ago, the transfer was arranged.

Visa and other procedures have been completed.

Without any accident, Vera will be able to take the transfer flight from St. Petersburg to Beijing today, where experts from 301 Hospital will take care of her.

And his flight home is before the closing ceremony tomorrow morning.

Compared with answering those boring questions, there are many things waiting for him to deal with
