Chapter 557 Calculation Status
Therefore, Jiang Cheng'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, which is a hypothesis about prime numbers.
Among the natural numbers there are special numbers that 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, and this kind of number is called a prime number.
For example, 3 is a typical prime number. Any two natural numbers smaller 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. The equivalent words of 2, 5, 19, and 137 are all prime numbers. The Riemann Hypothesis is a hypothesis about this prime number
The distribution of prime numbers among natural numbers looks very chaotic. At first glance, there is no distribution law of prime numbers at all.
But Riemann, a great mathematician, proposed a complex function called the Riemann Zeta function.
Riemann believed that the Zeta function he discovered was related to all prime numbers.
That is to say, all prime numbers can be expressed as this function, and prime numbers are not randomly distributed but have rules to follow.
The Zeta function is the law of prime number distribution, and this function can help people find all prime numbers.
The hypothesis proposed by Riemann attracted the attention of all mathematicians as soon as it appeared, because prime numbers are very important to mathematics, which is the most basic component 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 author of Riemann's hypothesis could not prove the correctness of this hypothesis.
More than 150 years have passed in this way. During such a long time, countless genius mathematicians have wanted to solve this problem.

But so many years have passed, and the Riemann hypothesis has still not been proved.
Since Fermat's last theorem was proved, the Riemann Hypothesis has become the most famous problem in the mathematics world, and it has also become the most difficult mathematical problem in the world.
Jiang Cheng valued the popularity of the Riemann Hypothesis and that it is the most difficult problem, so he chose to solve the Riemann Hypothesis.
Although the Riemann Hypothesis is the most difficult mathematical problem, Jiang Cheng is not afraid at all but full of fighting spirit.
Difficulty has never existed for Jiang Cheng.
For Jiang Cheng, no matter how difficult the problem is, it can be solved, it just takes a lot of time.
There have been many people who claimed to have proved the Riemann Hypothesis before, but unfortunately these proofs were all proved to be wrong in the end.
Just in 2015, a Nigerian mathematician claimed to have proved the Riemann Hypothesis, which caused quite a stir at the time.
It is a pity that the Fang Kelai Institute of Mathematics, which was set up for the Millennium Award, did not recognize the achievements of this mathematician. It seems that there must be problems with his research.
As soon as Jiang Cheng decided to study the Riemann Hypothesis, he found the Nigerian mathematician's paper and began to study it.
He quickly figured out what was wrong with the paper. The Nigerian mathematician had gone in the wrong direction from the beginning so the whole paper was wrong.
No wonder the results of this Nigerian mathematician were not recognized by the Kerai Institute of Mathematics.
It turned out that there was a problem in the fundamental direction. No wonder his research has not been recognized by the international mathematics community.
After finding out the mistakes in this paper, Jiang Cheng quickly threw the paper aside.
This erroneous paper is of no use to Jiang Cheng, it can't even inspire ideas.
Although the idea of the Nigerian mathematician was wrong, Jiang Cheng himself could not find any correct solution.
Jiang Cheng sat on the chair and thought for a long time, but couldn't find a solution to the Riemann hypothesis.
But Jiang Cheng's current situation is very normal, if Jiang Cheng can come up with a solution if he thinks about it casually
Then this "473" problem will not be called the most difficult mathematical problem at present. It has not been proved by anyone for more than 150 years.
After thinking for a long time, Jiang Cheng didn't have any idea, so he was going to think about this problem in a different way.
Lucy, help me find all the papers on the Riemann Hypothesis, screen out the valuable research results in it, and then sort the final results. Jiang Cheng gave up meaningless thinking, turned his head and gave a new order to Lucy in mid-air.
If Jiang Cheng feels that he can't think of a way, he might as well take a look at other research.
Although those research successes did not prove the Riemann hypothesis, some papers are still very valuable.
At least those papers can help Jiang Cheng rule out some wrong answers and save him the time it takes to find a solution.
Generally speaking, those who want to study this kind of mathematical problems need to understand all the previous research processes. This is the basic method of mathematical research.
Jiang Cheng is just doing very ordinary things now, at least very ordinary for mathematicians.
Since Jiang Cheng wanted to see the success of previous research, he simply found out all the papers on the Riemann Hypothesis.
There is no loss in taking a look at the papers of predecessors, and maybe it can help Jiang Cheng find some inspiration.
But there are a lot of papers on the Riemann Hypothesis. After hundreds of years of accumulation, countless mathematicians have studied this problem, and they probably left tens of thousands of papers.
It takes a long time just to read these papers, and not all of them are useful.
Some of these papers are completely full of mistakes and are of no use to Jiang Cheng.
So Jiang Cheng needs Lucy's help to help him filter out useful things. Lucy will naturally help him analyze which papers are helpful to him, and which papers are just useless garbage.
In this way, Jiang Cheng can save a lot of unnecessary effort and devote more energy to research.
Lucy, an artificial intelligence, can not only help him conduct technical research, but also be very useful to Jiang Cheng in basic subjects.
It is indeed a top artificial intelligence, which can help Jiang Cheng in all fields.
After hearing Jiang Cheng's order, Lucy began to enter the state of calculation again.
Okay, master, I will help you to search and filter. Please wait a moment and it will be fine soon. "
