Chapter 484: Riemann hypothesis

Ye Su finally didn't have to continue to be decadent, because he had already found his next goal.
These mathematical problems are enough for Ye Soda to send out this time. When the time comes, after the future Mars rover sends back Mars data, Ye Su can continue to develop related technologies for the Mars base.
This kind of arrangement is just right for Ye Su. He will not be bored because he has nothing to do, and he will not be too busy to care about the woman who accompanies him.
After Ye Su had determined his goal, he soon began to focus on his work, preparing to study those difficult mathematical problems.
Ye Su had been living a very leisurely life before, and the whole person had already relaxed.
Now Ye Su was about to tighten his level so that he could be in a better state for scientific research.
This time Ye Su finally had something to do, and he had to live his scientific research addiction.
But before studying those mathematical problems, Ye Su must first set a research goal.
There are still six millennium problems that have not yet been solved. First, let's study which one is the problem that Ye Su should choose now.
The fields involved in this remaining mathematical problem are not the same, and the ideas for solving them are also very different. It is impossible to study these six problems at the same time.
Because these problems are very different, each mathematical problem requires a different way of thinking.
Therefore, Ye Su must first choose a mathematical problem and study it in one direction before he can be distracted to consider other problems.
The choice of which mathematics problem really stumped Ye Su, the importance of these several problems are about the same, all of which can promote the development of mathematics as long as they are solved.
Since the importance was all the same, Ye Su didn't know which question to start with.
But this problem didn't make Ye Su struggle for too long, and soon Ye Su had his own choice.
If the importance of these six math problems are the same, Ye Su decides to choose the most difficult one first.
This choice is quite a weird one. When faced with this choice, most people will choose the simplest one first.
Doing so can maximize the probability of success, and then slowly increase the difficulty of the challenge.
Unfortunately, Ye Su is not an ordinary person, so he will only choose the hardest one to do it first.
Ye Su always likes to solve the most difficult problems first. Such challenges are more exciting to him, and this can be regarded as his personal preference.
If these six mathematical problems are sorted by difficulty, then the most difficult problem is the Riemann hypothesis.
So Ye Su's final choice is clear at a glance, which is to solve and prove the Riemann hypothesis.
The Riemann hypothesis is a hypothesis put forward by the mathematician Riemann in 1859. It is a hypothesis about prime numbers.
There are some special numbers in natural numbers, which cannot be expressed as the product of two smaller numbers.
That is to say, this kind of number cannot be obtained by multiplying two numbers, this kind of number is called a prime number.
For example, 3 is a typical prime number. Any two natural numbers less than 3 cannot be multiplied to get 3, and 4 is not a prime number because 2 times 2 equals 4.
Prime numbers are quite common among natural numbers. Numbers such as 2, 5, 19, and 137 are all prime numbers. The Riemann hypothesis is an assumption about such prime numbers.
The distribution of prime numbers in natural numbers looks very scattered. At first glance, there is no distribution law for prime numbers.
But Riemann, the great mathematician, proposed a complex function, which is called the Riemann Zeta function.
Riemann believes that the Zeta function he discovered is related to all prime numbers.
In other words, all prime numbers can be expressed as this function, and prime numbers are not randomly distributed but regular.
The Zeta function is the law of the distribution of prime numbers. This function can help people find all prime numbers.
Riemann’s hypothesis aroused the attention of all mathematicians as soon as it appeared, because prime numbers are very important to mathematics, which is the most basic part of mathematics.
If this Riemann hypothesis is correct, it can greatly improve the development of mathematics.
But the hypothesis put forward by Riemann is just a hypothesis, not a proven axiom, so it cannot be applied to mathematical research.
So many mathematicians have begun to study this hypothesis, hoping to prove the correctness of Riemann's hypothesis.
It is a pity that the research of these mathematicians has not yielded any results. The Riemann hypothesis is still a hypothesis and has not been proved by anyone.
Even the proponent of Riemann's hypothesis cannot prove the correctness of this hypothesis.
More than one hundred and fifty years have passed in this way. During this long period of time, countless genius mathematicians have wanted to solve this problem.
But after so many years, Riemann's hypothesis still has not been proven.
Since Fermat's Last Theorem was proved, the Riemann hypothesis has become the most famous problem in mathematics, and it has also become the most difficult mathematical problem in the world.
Ye Su valued the popularity of the Riemann hypothesis, and it is the most difficult problem, so he chose to solve the Riemann hypothesis.
Although Riemann's hypothesis is the most difficult mathematical problem, Ye Su is scared at all and full of fighting spirit.
For Ye Su, difficulty has never existed.
For Ye Su, no matter how difficult the problem is, it can be solved, just how much time it takes.
There have been many people who claimed to have proved the Riemann hypothesis before, but unfortunately, in the end, these proofs were proved to be wrong.
In 2015, there was also a mathematician from Nigeria who claimed to have proved the Riemann hypothesis, which caused quite a stir at the time.
It is a pity that the Fang Clay Institute of Mathematics, the establishment of the Millennium Prize, did not recognize the achievements of this mathematician. It seems that his research must have problems.
As soon as Ye Su decided to study the Riemann hypothesis, he found the Nigerian mathematician's thesis and began to study it.
He quickly found out what was wrong with this paper. The Nigerian mathematician had a wrong direction from the beginning, so the whole paper was wrong.
