Omnipotent Data

Chapter 378

Shinichi Ueda joined ResearchGate.

The news caused quite a stir.

Although there is a big gap between Ueda Shinichi's status in the mathematics world and Cheng Nuo's current Professor Fresnel, in front of ordinary mathematics majors, he is already a towering existence.

Especially in the island country, it is not an exaggeration to be called the number one person in the domestic mathematics field!

I don't know how many people, the dream of exhausting their lives is to become a person like Ueda Shinichi.

However, Cheng Nuo was indifferent to Ueda Shinichi, a mathematician.

If he really proves the ABC conjecture, that's all. Presumably, he will accumulate a few more years of qualifications and build momentum in China. He will definitely win a Fields Medal in Mathematics.

But the problem is that his method of proof is not recognized as correct. Of course, no one has proven it wrong.

That was a proof paper of more than five hundred pages! In particular, a completely new set of theoretical mathematical tools is involved.

According to statistics, there are only about 50 mathematicians in the world who have enough background knowledge to understand this "book" by Ueda Shinichi.

Most of these fifty mathematicians are top mathematicians in the world, and no one is willing to spend two or three years to thoroughly study Ueda Shinichi's theory.

If it turns out that Ueda Shinichi's proof process is wrong in the end, wouldn't that be too fucked up!

Cheng Nuo withdrew from the top post, and continued to browse through the posts on the forum without surprise or joy, not taking this matter too seriously.

But registered members of other sites are different.

At any rate, he is a big boss guarding one side. Although there are praises and criticisms, it is indisputable that this is the highest-level mathematician in the field of mathematics invited by ResearchhGate.

So a group of people who were breathing heavily came to join in the fun.

In one morning, Ueda Shinichi's account gained thousands of followers, and there were too many comments.

Ueda Shinichi over there may have seen that he was so popular, and he was very happy, so he posted his more than 500-page paper proving the ABC conjecture on the homepage that day.

And leave a message: I am very happy to join ResearchGate and to gather here with all my colleagues. Dear Mr. Cheng, here is the specific method of proving the ABC conjecture for me, as well as some personal opinions, please appreciate it. "

"I would be very grateful if someone pointed out the deficiencies or omissions in it. I will reward you with $100,000!"

"In addition, my disciple Kinoshita-kun will tour the United States on behalf of me in the middle of this month to launch an academic report on the ABC conjecture. The first stop will be in Cambridge. I hope you will come to discuss and exchange ideas!"

As soon as this post was published, the entire Internet was boiling.

From this message, Ueda Shinichi revealed two important news.

First, of course, if someone can really find out that his 500-plus page paper is wrong, that is, the steps of the ABC conjecture proof described by Ueda Shinichi are wrong, he will get $100,000 remuneration.

The other is that Shinichi Ueda will immediately send his disciples back to the United States to give an academic report on the ABC conjecture. And it's still in the form of a national tour like a concert.

Both messages prove the same thing: Shinichi Ueda, hurry up!

You know, in the world mathematics circle, Ueda Shinichi is considered to be an extremely low-key person.

At the beginning, he quietly posted his 500-page thesis on his personal website without publicizing it.

Later, reporters from major journals came to interview, and Ueda Shinichi also closed the door to see no visitors.

But now, he first entered the largest academic exchange website in the United States with a high profile, and then offered a reward of 100,000 yuan and held a roving academic report meeting, all of which showed that he couldn't wait.

In 2012, Ueda Shinichi published a 500-page academic paper on his personal website, which caused a sensation in the mathematics community.

In 2022, ten years have passed, but no one has publicly declared that Ueda Shinichi's method of proof is correct.

After ten years, Ueda Shinichi realized that if he didn't make some "big moves". Even if he waits until the end of his life, I am afraid that he will not see the moment when his method of proof is widely recognized by the mathematics community.

The time of two or three years is something that those masters in mathematics do not want to spend in vain.

But when it becomes a huge storm, no one can get up alone.

…………

Cheng Nuo also saw the reward post, he smiled lightly and didn't pay much attention.

The next day, Cheng Nuo had just finished breakfast when he received a call.

The caller was none other than Tan Weiwei, who Cheng Nuo met at the overseas student party.

"Hi, I'm Cheng Nuo." Cheng Nuo said, "I don't know, senior sister Wei Wei, what can you do with me?"

"It's true." Tan Wei smiled and said, "Cheng Nuo, you don't have any plans tonight, do you?"

Cheng Nuo pondered for a while and replied, "Not yet."

"That's great, I have two tickets here, shall we go together tonight?" Tan Weiwei said excitedly.

"Movie tickets? Sister, it's not suitable for us to do this!" Cheng Nuo looked hesitant. He has a girlfriend!

"What are you thinking about!" Tan Weiwei said coquettishly, "It's not a movie ticket, it's two tickets to an academic seminar!"

Others go to the movies on a date, we go to an academic presentation.

Is this the correct way of dating among high school bullies?

Cheng Nuo murmured to himself.

"Did you know that Ueda Shinichi's disciple will come to the United States to give an academic report?" Tan Weiwei asked.

"I know. Could it be that the ticket in your hand..."

"That's right, I managed to buy two tickets. You must come tonight!"

"sure!"

…………

In the evening, Cheng Nuo simply packed up and drove to the location of the report meeting, a small auditorium in the center of Cambridge.

Shinichi Ueda asked his disciple Shinmi Yamashita to choose Cambridge as the first stop of his tour in the United States. One of the goals is that there are two world-class universities, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University.

Another reason must be because Ueda Shinichi's alma mater is Harvard University.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Tan Weiwei arrived late.

Looking at the attire, it was obvious that he was attending an academic report, but it felt like he was attending a party.

Cheng Nuo rolled his eyes, "Don't you need to dress up so solemnly?"

Tan Weiwei smiled, "That's how it should be when dealing with academics. Alright, let's go in."

Tan Weiwei took out two tickets from her bag, and walked into the auditorium with Cheng Nuo.

The auditorium can accommodate about two to three hundred people, and people came in at the door only a few people. Before the lecture started, the small auditorium was full.

It can be seen that Ueda Shinichi's voice on ResearchGate is quite effective.

Cheng Nuo glanced at it.

Among the more than two hundred people who participated in the report, most of them looked like students, but Cheng Nuo didn't see any of the mathematicians who might be hiding among them.

It seems that such low-end academic lectures are not enough to attract that group of people.

But Ueda Shinichi's purpose is certainly not to hold this academic report for those people.
