Ch. 441Resolution of the Riemann Hypothesis!
Key Plot Points and Events
- Lin Fan, the only one not wearing a gaming helmet in the office, decides to write out the solution process for the Riemann Hypothesis on his computer.
- He completes a 42-page proof in an hour and asks his super smart watch, Xiao Bai, to write a paper on it and send it to the Mathematical Yearbook, with Lin Fan as the first author and his students as co-authors.
- Xiao Bai also posts the solution process on an academic forum under Lin Fan's ID.
- In the United States, Arthur Kelvin, who had made progress on the Riemann Hypothesis, is informed about Lin Fan's solution on the academic forum and later receives a request from the Mathematical Yearbook to review Lin Fan's manuscript.
Character Developments
- Lin Fan demonstrates his exceptional mathematical prowess by solving the Riemann Hypothesis and his ability to multitask by playing on his phone while writing the solution.
- Arthur Kelvin experiences a range of emotions, from excitement about his own progress to shock and disappointment upon learning about Lin Fan's solution.
Significant Themes
- Genius and brilliance, as exemplified by Lin Fan's ability to solve complex mathematical problems.
- Competition and rivalry, as seen in Arthur Kelvin's thoughts about Lin Fan's achievements and his own chances of winning the Fields Medal.
- The importance of the Riemann Hypothesis in the mathematical world and the impact of its potential solution on the academic community.
Character Interactions
- Lin Fan interacts with Xiao Bai, his super smart watch, giving it instructions and receiving updates from it.
- Arthur Kelvin interacts with Furnival and Jeffrey, discussing the Riemann Hypothesis and Lin Fan's potential solution.
- The editor-in-chief of the Mathematical Yearbook contacts Arthur Kelvin to request a review of Lin Fan's manuscript.
