But algorithms can simplify a lot.
For example, when the divisor is greater than or equal to the result, the verification can stop there.
This one rule greatly reduces the amount of calculation.
Also, the best strategy is certainly to have the number being tested divided only once by a pri number less than or equal to the square root. But designing an algorithm for this can be complex unless you want to list out all the pri numbers.
And so on.
So, can using a computer to verify pri numbers and other ways related to pri numbers help crack the Goldbach Conjecture?
For instance, a characteristic of an even number is that it would be ruled out as a pri number from the initial divide-by-two verification.
What exactly is the correlation between this characteristic and its ability to be broken down into the sum of two pri numbers?
Zhao Yi sank into deep thought.
...
Thinking about the Goldbach Conjecture and the rules of pri numbers won’t bear any fruits in a short ti, but it is interesting to ponder on such matters.
Zhao Yi found so interest in it.
In the next few days, every ti he attended calculus classes, he would continuously think about the problem of pri numbers. Sotis, he would doze off while thinking and would earn so Rest Coins incidentally.
"Good!"
"This thod works."
"At the very least, it proves that I have not given up on studying mathematics, and that I am studying seriously in every calculus class..."
While Zhao Yi was thinking, a sudden exclamation ca from beside him, "Look at this news report!"
It was Fan Lei.
He was playing with his phone.
Several people around looked over.
The lecturer, Hu Zhibin on the podium, seed a bit discontented. Seeing it was happening beside Zhao Yi, he shot them a displeased glance.
Zhao Yi felt a little innocent. He hadn’t said a word and didn’t disturb his classmates. It was Fan Lei who was talking, yet he sohow ended up taking the bla.
Fan Lei didn’t notice Hu Zhibin’s reaction, he handed his phone to Zhao Yi and said, "Look at this report, it’s about you!"
"So annoying!"
"It’s just a news report."
Zhao Yi, not even bothering to care, took over the phone, then he saw the report article--
"Top Mathematician Also a Genius in Biology?"
Zhao Yi furrowed his brows, opened the report and read carefully, instantly his heart sank.
The report was about him.
The article listed a set of astonishing data, "Since August this year, Zhao Yi has published eight papers in two dostic dical journals as the first author. In addition, his na is on nine other papers. Most of these are listed as the ’second’ author, while one is the ’third’ author."
And now it’s just the end of December.
In less than half a year, seventeen biology research papers are directly related to Zhao Yi.
This figure - not to ntion other people - even baffled Zhao Yi as he looked at it himself. He didn’t even realize he had published so many papers, but upon reflection, it made sense.
Other than the dical conjecture paper, he led three projects. An average of two papers per project isn’t much. Rheumatoid Arthritis is a significant project, and he handed all the ancillary achievents to others. Otherwise, the number of papers would have been astonishing.
While Zhao Yi thought so, the author of the article clearly didn’t share the sentint.
After listing the figures, the author of the article first recognized Zhao Yi’s mathematical talent, and then turned to question whether he also has the sa talent in biology.
Besides, even if he is mathematically gifted, publishing eight papers as the first author in less than half a year is quite remarkable, not to ntion the other nine papers listing his na.
Then a series of speculations began.
"Zhao Yi is a mathematician, why is he able to publish so many biology papers?"
"Did he really do all of those so-called researches himself?"
"He’s only a freshman. Unlike mathematics, biology research requires a lab and project applications. His papers ntioned several projects, but is it possible he’s working on all these projects?"
"In addition, many of the papers are related to the Biodical Research Institute, and six papers were published in the sa dical journal."
"We can’t conclude with certainty that there’s a problem based on this, but I think anyone looking at these numbers would have so questions, right?"
