"Zhao Yi has simplified Fermat’s Last Theorem using a new method!"
"The new method is called Column Ratio Elimination!"
"Before, when he helped me simplify the wave equation, he also used the column ratio elimination method, and I had no idea, I was in deep thought researching the derivation logic within it..."
Zhou Li mutters on and on, feeling extremely frustrated. His frustration comes from a recent few days of work. He regrets not asking Zhao Yi for help sooner.
Hu Zhibin did not discern the situation and adds, "Professor Zhou, the thing that Zhao Yi gave you and you can’t quite understand, it might be about Column Ratio Elimination. Look at it again carefully, and maybe you’ll understand."
Zhou Li feels a sharp sting in his heart and then took a deep breath, "Maybe so!" He tried his best to keep his emotions in check, trying not to let Hu Zhibin notice anything off. He even added, "I don’t really mind it."
"Oh."
Hu Zhibin seemed a little doubtful, but the major news was Zhao Yi finishing the simplification of Fermat’s Last Theorem.
Zhou Li’s feelings were not important.
He was about to go and share this news with others, but Zhou Li compensates the magazine.
"I will look at it again," Zhou Li said while holding the magazine down.
"Alright."
Hu Zhibin was a bit upset. Without the magazine in hand and only speaking from memory, sharing the joy of great news seemed less thrilling.
After Hu Zhibin left, Zhou Li settled down to research the paper.
The content in the paper was simplified.
Most research papers wouldn’t possibly document all the detailed processes because they involve too much content, and no journal could publish every detail.
For others who want to refer to the content of the paper and understand the entire derivation and proof process, it is not easy.
However, Zhou Li found it easy to understand.
That was thanks to a week of meditation. Seeing the proof process and conclusion of the column ratio elimination, the places in his mind that didn’t make sense became clear all at once.
"So that’s how it is!"
"So it’s like this. No wonder why we have to list out one collection after another!"
"And this derivation resulted in the final conclusion!"
Zhou Li only spent a little over two hours to fully understand the content. There were some minor details that he didn’t research in detail, but he could easily understand them with careful study.
During lunchtime, many professors and teachers from the College of Science gathered in the office. They were all discussing Zhao Yi’s latest research. Some were even discussing the derivation process in the paper.
Researching and discussing together speeds up understanding.
Zhou Li started to speak frequently, "This step is actually very simple; as long as you plug in a formula, you can finish it. Probably, you just didn’t think of it."
"And this... the paper must have simplified the derivation steps. Actually, dividing out the collection is very meaningful. It can help make column comparisons later."
"I read Zhao Yi’s content. It also contains some algebraic geometric thinking."
"This is also simple, you should think of it this way..."
"The logic is like this..."
Zhou Li frequently expressed his opinions, and the others in the office listened with surprise.
Even though Zhou Li is a top-tier figure in Yanhua University College of Science and can be considered a pillar of the mathematics department, he is not beyond reach in terms of level. His research is just more in-depth and has more fruitful results compared to others.
If we compare a group of College of Science professors and teachers to the level of high school students, Zhou Li is like a student who studies extremely hard. He memorizes most of the content and listens carefully to every lesson, completing assignments seriously.
His score in every subject is not low, which adds up to create an advantage.
Others are like students whose IQ is uncertain and who definitely can’t catch up with Zhou Li’s diligence. Some have serious deviations in subjects, while others have given up on studying and just go with the flow. They envy Zhou Li’s ’results’, but when it comes to intelligence and comprehension, they don’t think Zhou Li is strong.
Now, they were really surprised.
’Further Simplification of Fermat’s Last Theorem’, a topic they had all looked at, was definitely quite complicated. The paper’s derivation process was not perfect, and there were many leaps in logic. To fully understand it would take a long time.
However, what’s the result?
Just by noon, Zhou Li had fully understood it?
They expressed their shock and admiration one after another, "Worthy of Professor Zhou, you’re truly amazing!"
"I studied it for half an hour, and I didn’t understand anything."
"At the very beginning, I didn’t understand why several formulas were suddenly introduced..."
"I personally think that Column Ratio Elimination is quite complex. I didn’t expect Professor Zhou to understand it immediately..."
Amid the praise and flattery from everyone, Zhou Li couldn’t help but smile.
Even though he didn’t think that after a week of deep thought, and then looking at the original proof paper, being able to understand quickly was a big deal, but the others didn’t know that, did they?
And he certainly wouldn’t say it. freewёbnoνel.com
The only one was Hu Zhibin...
Zhou Li looked at Hu Zhibin. The latter, who happened to look over as well, had a hint of doubt in his eyes. He quickly turned his head and hung up a cordial, indifferent smile.
Don’t deny it!
Don’t admit it!
This attitude is the most correct.
...
Only those truly studying mathematics care about the proof process of the ’column ratio elimination method’, because new mathematical methods have significant meaning for mathematics research.
Other people still focus on ’the simplification of Fermat’s Last Theorem’ itself.
The title of Zhao Yi’s paper is ’Further Simplification of Fermat’s Last Theorem’. ’Column Ratio Elimination’ is only used for the derivation to simplify Fermat’s Last Theorem.
