Shen Qi's parents have many relatives on both sides, and their visit schedule is already booked until the ninth day of the first lunar month.
Shen Qi had lunch at his uncle's house this noon.
Most of Shen Qi's Mom's relatives work in the medical and health system and related industries. Some are doctors, some are head nurses, and some are in the medical device and pharmaceutical business.
Shen Qi's uncle is a doctor who works at a mental hospital.
My uncle said he's going crazy, not because of work, but mainly because his daughter's winter break homework is too difficult and is driving him to the brink of insanity.
Shen Qi's cousin is his uncle's daughter, who is in the third grade of elementary school.
"Shen Qi, our family's math genius, could you help your sister with her math homework? I'm a medical student and I'm at my wit's end. The homework for elementary school students these days is just too hard." The uncle pleaded with Shen Qi for help.
Shen Qi immediately agreed, "Sure, it's my duty as an older brother to help my sister with her homework."
After lunch, Shen Qi went into his cousin's room. "Yangyang, which problem don't you understand? Come on, let your older brother teach you."
"This, this, and this too." Cousin Yangyang finally saw her savior. She handed Shen Qi a primary school math workbook, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Shen Qi flipped through Yangyang's workbook, becoming increasingly astonished. "Who sets these elementary school math problems? They're so hard, it's insane!"
"Huh?" Yangyang was confused. "Brother, you don't know this either?"
Shen Qi explained, "No, of course I will. What I mean is, Yangyang, your dad probably won't. It's tough on your uncle; he's a psychiatrist, and he's almost driven crazy by this. Yangyang, I can't come to your house every day. You rely on your teachers at school, but at home you mainly rely on your dad. I can only tutor you occasionally."
"Then hurry up and tutor me!" Yangyang couldn't wait. She pointed to a question and said, "Brother, explain this one first."
The question is, "Write out the multiplication algorithm based on the rhythm."
1. Ding ding ding, ding ding ding.
2. Ah, ah, ah, ah.
3. Waaaaah, waaaah.
4. Meow, meow, meow.
When Shen Qi first saw this question, he thought it was a joke sent by a monkey.
Later, I discovered that this elementary school math workbook was published by Yanjing University Press. So it seems it wasn't a joke. Yanjing University Press is a large and well-known publishing house in the industry; they wouldn't publish random books.
After carefully examining the problem for a few seconds, Shen Qi quickly identified the pattern. He told Yangyang, "The answer to this question is 3×2, 1×4, 3×2, 2×3."
"Why?" Yangyang asked, indicating that she didn't understand.
Shen Qi patiently explained, "The rhythmic pattern is onomatopoeia: ding ding ding, ding ding ding, 3 x 2. Ah, ah, ah, ah, 1 x 4. Wuwuwu, wuwuwu, also 3 x 2. Meow meow, meow meow, meow meow, that's 2 x 3."
"Why?!" Yangyang was filled with despair, still unable to understand.
"This..." Shen Qi could understand why his uncle was about to go crazy. "Even I, the Olympic Math champion, am about to die."
Having fought in the north and south, and decisively defeated Britain, having traversed such a long road both domestically and internationally, Shen Qi finally discovered that the most difficult path was navigating the tricks of elementary school students. "Yangyang, I've already explained it very clearly to you, 3×2, 1×4, 3×2, 2×3, that's it."
"Wow!"
Yangyang's nose tingled, and she burst into tears, heartbroken.
"Don't cry, don't cry, little sister, don't cry." Shen Qi was at a loss and quickly tried to cheer Yangyang up. Tutoring the little girl who was not even 10 years old with math problems was much more difficult than doing problems by himself; they were not even in the same league.
After gifting the skin and topping up his QQ coins, Shen Qi also bought Yangyang a hero worth 18,888 coins. Finally, Shen Qi made his sister happy.
Then Yangyang lay on her princess bed playing mobile games while Shen Qi helped her with her math homework.
Before long, Shen Qi finished writing a math homework book for a third-grade elementary school student.
"Long live the old man!" Yangyang cheered excitedly.
"Sigh..." Shen Qi left his cousin's room helplessly, not knowing whether he had helped her or harmed her. He would tutor Yangyang when Yangyang school, at which point her comprehension skills should be better.
Looking at the physics stats in the system, level 3 (652/5000), Shen Qi used 4348 academic points to upgrade his physics to level 4.
System: "Congratulations, host, on reaching level 4 in Physics. Your observation, judgment, comprehension, memory, and logical reasoning abilities in physics have significantly improved compared to the previous level, and you are also enjoying the true bonus from your level 6 Mathematics talent."

Except for Physics, which has just been upgraded to level 4 and has a temporary experience value of 0, all other subjects have accumulated some experience value through daily study or training.
Shen Qi did not deliberately try to improve his experience points in the three Level 1 subjects: History, Geography, and Politics.
After finishing his daily studies of the main subjects, Shen Qi would take a break, flipping through the Zizhi Tongjian in his bookshelf, glancing at the National Geographic on the coffee table, and occasionally watching the Xinwen Lianbo. As a result, he gained a small amount of experience points in the subjects of history, geography, and politics.
Shen Qi has recently been focusing intensely on physics, initially aiming to deepen his mathematical foundation. After all, mathematics and physics are closely intertwined, and if he were to achieve mastery one day, he could attempt to tackle age-old problems such as the Yang- Mills theory and the Mass gap hypothesis. His physics level cannot be too low.
Similar to Yang-Mi's theory, the Navier-Stokes equations, considered one of the most difficult of the remaining six Millennium Prize Problems, are based on assumptions derived from calculus and Fluid Motion. How can you solve them without understanding physics?
Another of the Millennium Prize Problems in mathematics, the "P versus NP problem," is essentially a Computer Science problem. When Computer Science are powerless, it's the mathematicians' turn to step in. Of course, mathematicians have yet to solve the "P versus NP problem."
The Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture and the Hodge conjecture can be considered mathematical problems, but they are not purely mathematical problems.
Of the remaining six Millennium Prize Problems in mathematics, only the Riemann Hypothesis can be considered a purely mathematical problem.
The Riemann Hypothesis is quite special. It was proposed by the great Riemann in the 19th century. In the 1900 Mathematical Contest, Hilbert, the then- Alliance Leader of the Golden Union, included the Riemann Hypothesis in the "1900 edition of the Millennium Problems in Mathematics".
Of the 22 problems in the "1900 edition of the Millennium Prize Problems in Mathematics," only the Riemann Hypothesis remains unsolved, remaining a formidable challenge into the 21st century.
In the 2000 Mathematical Challenge, the new Alliance Leader Clay, included seven unsolved problems, and the "Seven Great Problems of Mathematics Community" that people usually refer to now usually refers to this 2000 edition of the catalog.
Despite enduring two millennium challenges—the 1900 and 2000 versions— the Riemann Hypothesis remains stubbornly intact.
Including the proven Poincaré conjecture, six of the seven unsolved mathematical problems in the 2000 edition are difficult to solve using only pure mathematical knowledge. This is closely related to the development of the times and the interdisciplinary nature of the subject. Except for the Riemann Hypothesis, which was proposed in the 19th century, the other six are products of the 20th century.
Professor Sun Erxiong of Yenching University has already given Shen Qi some directional advice. The Mathematical Grand Unification requires contemporary mathematicians to be both specialized and broad-minded. Shen Qi, after you go home, study physics and Computer Science to broaden your knowledge and expand its scope. I hope that when you officially report to Yenching University, we will see a better Shen Qi.
