Chapter 545: Chapter 321 Maybe I Should Give Up..._3
He had a basic understanding of partial differential equations, but he hadn’t ventured into complex fields of thought, so his knowledge was definitely lacking. Trying to understand Zhou Li’s research papers would take some time.
Zhou Li said, "I’m not asking you to help me with the research, but to see if you could solve this column ratio..."
As he spoke, he handed over a sheet of A4 paper, which was filled with a large amount of incredibly complex information that made one’s head spin just from a cursory glance.
Zhao Yi felt a headache just by looking at it.
Zhou Li began to explain the functions, factors, and other elements within, as well as an array of algebra. It looked more like a skyscraper built of numbers than a common equation.
Zhao Yi was a nimble thinker. He didn’t need to understand the meaning of the column ratio; understanding the column ratio itself was easy enough for him, and soon he had a grasp on it.
Simplify the column ratio!
If it wasn’t overly complex, there were some shortcuts he could take. Directly using the "Correlation Law", analyzing the factors on both sides could lead to a conclusion.
But that’s only possible if it’s not too complex, or involving other factors. He tried using the "Correlation Law", and did draw some conclusions, but they were basically meaningless. In other words, there was no necessary connection between the various factors in the column ratio and the shortcut was definitely not going to work.

"Of course, a column ratio that gives Professor Zhou a headache wouldn’t be easy to solve."
Zhao Yi was about to shake his head in refusal, but then he halted. He remembered a new mathematical method—
Column Ratio Elimination.
Column Ratio Elimination is a method that reduces or transforms a column ratio by comparing each factor and adding some transformational formulas under certain specific conditions.
The complicated column ratio before him could be tackled with ’Column Ratio Elimination’.
He took a blank sheet of A4 paper from the desk, began to list out each element of the column ratio separately, and assigned them to several sets, followed by a series of comparisons.
The A4 paper quickly filled up with a massive amount of information.
Fueled by the thoughts in his mind, his pencil didn’t stop moving. Within about ten minutes, he had filled up three sheets of A4 paper before grabbing a fresh one.
Looking at the first draft, he identified some conclusions, copied them down and put them into the same column ratio.
"Done!"
The moment Zhao Yi put down his pencil, he used the ’Causality Law’ to analyze and draw a conclusion that matched the original column ratio. His tone became confident as he spoke.
"Done?"
"Done," confirmed Zhao Yi without a doubt.
Zhou Li, perplexed, looked at the column ratio on the A4 paper. It had been simplified by at least three-quarters from the original. He assigned values to the unknown factors for verification, and found that the result matched the original column ratio.
Which means...
Within a short period of around ten minutes, Zhao Yi had simplified such a complex column ratio?
And I...
Have made no progress even after thinking about it for nearly ten days? freёweɓnovel.com
Suddenly, Zhou Li lost interest in his research. His gaze towards Zhao Yi became complicated.
Simplifying the column ratio should have been a cause for celebration, indicating significant progress in the research. But he didn’t feel relieved at all; instead, he felt a sense of despair.
"I spent ten days making no progress, and he, who hardly understood the content, completed it within minutes?"
"What good am I? What’s the point of my research? No wonder the upper management granted him a million while I only got twenty thousand!"
"If it were up to me, I would give nothing!"
"So..."
"Perhaps I should focus on teaching and not put my mind so much on mathematical research? Maybe it’s time to give up..."
