158: Chapter 94: Co to Yanbei after the New Year_2 158: Chapter 94: Co to Yanbei after the New Year_2 If he was asked to visit at that ti, it was probably just to chat privately, but coming over here to find him probably ans today’s conversation is quite ordinary; after all, they couldn’t just chase away Captain Luo and Lan Jie, right?
“Academician Tian, Captain Luo, hello, Academician Tian, Captain Luo, please co in.” Qiao Yu said politely.
Yesterday, Old Xue specifically explained that he is still a child, and it’s okay as long as he honestly stays true to himself.
Qiao Yu’s understanding of his true self is probably just a polite and well-mannered good kid in front of elders.
“Alright, sorry for the abrupt visit, I’m not disturbing your rest, am I?” Tian Yanzhen casually asked when entering the room.
“No, I usually only nap for half an hour, so I woke up early.”
“Academician Tian, hello, I’m Qiao Yu’s Olympiad math coach at school, my na is Lan Jie.
Please have a seat.”
Lan Jie, standing in the room, hurriedly greeted Tian Yanzhen.
“Hello, well then, don’t just stand, have a seat, have a seat.”
The room had only two stools set beside the table near the window, Tian Yanzhen and Captain Luo sat on the stools, while Qiao Yu and Lan Jie sat directly on the edge of the bed by the window.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Tian Yanzhen proactively asked, “Did you guess the reason I ca specifically to see you today?”
“When Captain Luo ntioned you inquiring about yesterday, I hadn’t guessed it yet, but after I gave Professor Xue a call, I figured it out.” Qiao Yu said honestly.
“Xiao Xue is a good person, if he values you, it ans you are quite good too.
Today, I just ca to chat with you casually; you don’t need to feel any ntal burden, nor worry about saying the wrong thing,” Tian Yanzhen said with a smile.
Qiao Yu responded easily, “Mm, yesterday Professor Xue told the sa thing, he said if I am fortunate enough to et you, I just shouldn’t try to be overly clever, and be honest with myself.
So I also don’t feel too nervous.”
“Haha, this Xiao Xue…
but you really don’t need to be overly clever; after all, in mathematics, little cleverness is of no use, we need profound wisdom,” Tian Yanzhen smiled wryly.
In fact, when Qiao Yu said those words, he noticed that Captain Luo, next to Old Tian, furrowed his brows quite intensely, but seeing that Old Tian didn’t mind, Captain Luo’s eyebrows gradually relaxed again.
Of course, Qiao Yu didn’t care much about these subtle expressions.
Even though this big shot in front of him was indeed a good choice for him, it wasn’t the only choice.
Yesterday Old Xue also ntioned that Academician Tian is just one of the flag bearers of Huaxia’s mathematics circle, indicating there’s another one.
Since his paper could gain this person’s appreciation, he believed that after it’s published, the other one wouldn’t completely ignore it either.
If neither worked out, Qiao Yu thought going to Yujiang University to join Old Xue wasn’t out of the question either.
Although Old Xue said he was incapable and couldn’t shoulder much responsibility, Old Xue’s tutor is impressive!
A legitimate Fields dal winner, at that ti, finding a way to connect to the tutor’s tutor through Old Xue’s network was also a path, so Qiao Yu was really relaxed, not feeling nervous at all.
“I read the paper you prepared to submit to the Journal of Number Theory, it’s written very well.
But I’m more curious about the story Xiao Xue told .
When you saw that equation on the forum, you really hadn’t systematically studied algebraic number theory at that ti?”
After laughing, Tian Yanzhen asked seriously.
“Well, it’s not like I hadn’t systematically studied at all,” Qiao Yu thought for a mont and replied, “Previously, I had read many scattered articles and watched videos, and during that ti, Teacher Lan happened to give a treasured copy of Algebra and Number Theory, which I almost finished reading.”
“Oh?
Which version of Algebra and Number Theory?” Tian Yanzhen inquired further.
“Written by Mr.
Feng Keqin,” Qiao Yu answered imdiately.
The na left a deep impression, in fact, Qiao Yu now had a strong impression of all people with the surna Feng, even rembering Feng Stravsky in his mind…
Tian Yanzhen nodded, glanced at Lan Jie, who was sitting next to Qiao Yu with a sowhat awkward face, smiled, and asked, “So you watched so scattered videos online and a textbook on number theory, and solved that equation on your own?”
“Phew…
it’s not as easy as it sounds.
You don’t know, that period really frustrated , I couldn’t find any thod for that equation for three days, I truly doubted whether the equation had any integer solutions, and I even complained on the forum back then.
At that ti, I didn’t know it was Professor Xue, he replied on the forum guaranteeing with his future mathematical career that there were integer solutions, while others were sarcastic, that really annoyed back then!
But since they said there was a solution, I then analyzed it more carefully, found related articles and studied them closely, and later found that the equation was a smooth projective curve of genus 1, which is when I suddenly got inspiration.
I directly simplified the equation to a closed elliptic curve problem, finding the breakthrough, and then it was just about repeatedly doing calculations, aiming to find a point where all three values are positive integers.
Really, I spent a full ten days solving that equation.
Besides studying according to a fixed routine in the morning, I used afternoons and evenings for solving it, sotis staying up until two or three in the morning!”
Qiao Yu described vividly.
During that period, he indeed recalled very deeply, as it was probably the first ti he devoted himself entirely to solve a mathematical problem.
