Shen Qi had actually studied all seven Millennium Prize Problems. He had solved three of them, and Perelman had proved the Poincaré conjecture.

The three unsolved problems were the BSD Conjecture, the Yang–Mills theory and mass gap hypothesis, and the P versus NP problem.

With Shen Qi's invincible, Level 15 mathematical prowess, solving the three remaining Millennium Prize Problems was no trouble at all.

All he needed was time.

"The BSD Conjecture's case where the rank is greater than or equal to 2 really is pretty troublesome."

Shen Qi's intuition told him that approaching it from the angle of the Gaussian quadratic field should make it possible to prove the case where the rank was greater than or equal to 2.

For mathematicians, intuition was very important.

Mathematicians with sharp intuition were often the first to glimpse the hidden truth.

Ramanujan, India's most famous mathematician, had lived a life that could easily have been turned into a fantastical novel.

Ramanujan was a master of intuition. He was fond of deriving formulas through intuition or skipping steps, and disliked giving complete proofs.

Shen Qi admired Ramanujan. As it turned out, Ramanujan's intuition was more accurate than anyone else's in history, even surpassing Fermat's.

But even the finest masters of intuition, Ramanujan and Fermat, could not match the Four Great Gods of Mathematics in their standing in the history of mathematics.

The Four Great Gods of Mathematics not only had keen intuition, but were also skilled at producing logically consistent, rigorous proofs.

Gauss was a giant in the world of proof. More mathematical and physical formulas and theorems had been named after him than anyone else in history, most of them proved during his lifetime.

Intuition was important, but intuition alone could not create science.

Proof was the most essential step in
