"What a perfect presentation!"
"It was truly spectacular. Not only was he a mathematician with rigorous logic, he also seemed like a natural-born speaker!"
"Bravo!"
Amazement, praise...
All kinds of acclaim spread through the audience.
The mathematicians seated in the front rows all gave the presentation extremely high praise as well.
From any perspective, listening to Xiao Yi's presentation was far more enjoyable than listening to anyone else's.
First of all, no matter how complicated the proof process became, Xiao Yi could always explain it clearly and thoroughly. His pace was steady too, with barely any major change throughout the entire presentation.
For the older mathematicians, this kind of presentation was incredibly "senior-friendly." With some of the other presentations they attended, if the speaker talked even slightly too fast and they failed to react in time, they would immediately fall behind.
That was probably why they had not raised any questions at the end.
Second, aside from the crucial theory of the Parity Check Classification Sieve that Xiao Yi had ultimately completed, he also constantly displayed "techniques" during the proof process that made their eyes light up.
What were techniques in mathematics?
Simply put, they meant combining and applying all kinds of mathematical tricks to solve minor issues within a process in a cleverer—or rather, simpler and clearer—way.
It was somewhat like solving math problems. However, unlike the math problems in exam-oriented education, which had largely developed standard routines that could solve the problems if followed, the mathematical problems involved in cutting-edge questions like the Twin Prime Conjecture had virtually no established patterns to speak of.
Mathematical scholars could only try to solve them based on the knowledge and methods they had mastered.
To some extent, the various new results or theories created by mathematicians were completed through the continuous
