Chapter 521: A shocking hypothesis!
Walking the wrong path?
The world"s mathematicians have all been going down the wrong path?
Huang Lingling secretly bit her tongue thinking that Teacher Zhang was really reckless and brave to say something like this!
All of the other mathematicians had already wanted to beat him up, especially the American team and its youth partic.i.p.ants. They had never before seen someone as conceited as this!
Louis couldn"t stand to hear anymore of this and said something in English.
The American team translator then explained in Chinese, "Teacher Louis says that he would like to hear how you propose this be solved! If the whole world has been wrong, then do you have the correct way to prove it? We are all ears if you have one!" After translating, even the translator was shaking her head and laughing.
But Zhang Ye immediately responded with two things, "Elliptic curves and modular forms."
Louis, who was ready to rebuke him, was suddenly shocked by what he heard. His eyebrows raised up as he speedily processed what he just heard and said, "Modular forms?"
Xin Ya was also taken aback.
The park visitors looked doubtfully at each other, not really understanding what was going on.
Although they could not understand what was being said, the other mathematicians could understand. They had really not taken into consideration the possibility of Zhang Ye"s thoughts applying to Dale"s Conjecture all these years. Or perhaps someone did, but did not make any breakthrough and so nothing came of it. It was totally not the mainstream school of thought in regards to solving this conjecture. Some of these mathematicians were not even familiar with the modularity theorem as the number of mathematicians who specialized in it were rarer than rare!
What did he mean?
Does he know about the modularity theorem?
Xin Ya was in disbelief, but also for the first time, was surprised by Zhang Ye"s claims that their a.n.a.lytical process was wrong and his usage of these mathematical terms. These terms were not things that a Chinese department teacher should be able to say and this made her heart beat an extra few times. What the f**k, does this Zhang guy really know math?
Han Henian frowned even more and wondered if this was a bluff?
The others also felt that Zhang Ye was just boasting and had probably over-boasted this time, but his shocking claims had also invoked everyone"s curiosity and they had now turned their eyes onto the writings on the whiteboard.
Zhang Ye did not bother responding to them and just continued writing on.
......
(n+1)³-3n=n³+3n²+1
(n+1)³-3n²=n³+3n+1
(n+1)³-n³=3n²+3n+1
......
n³+3n²+1≠(n+1)³
n³+3n+1≠(n+1)³
3n²+3n+1≠(n+1)³
......
n=1,2,3,4,5
n³+3n²+1=5≠1
n³+3n+1=5≠1
3n²+3n+1=7≠1
