The proof of the Poisson law of large numbers was not particularly complicated. If written up as a paper, one major paper would be enough. But Wang Qi forcibly restrained the urge to finish it, writing only some exploratory discussion in the outline of this paper.
"After all, I have to leave some room to invite that single-minded fellow to join in," Wang Qi said.
However, unlike Divine Land's culture of valuing only a paper's content, Earth's academic world also placed considerable importance on the number of papers a researcher published. Wang Qi knew a little about the technique of splitting one paper into two complete papers, with the conclusion of the first serving as the evidence for the second.
After writing a hefty chunk, Wang Qi set it aside, intending to finish it after discussing it with Bo Xiaoya.
"All right, what should I work on next?"
Seeing Wang Qi deep in thought, Zhen Chanzi kindly reminded him, "I seem to recall that among you Modern Dharma Cultivators, the mathematical problem of one plus one equaling two is quite popular? It seems to be called Mingzhu's calculation? Why not give it a try?"
"Mingzhu's calculation belongs to number theory. Our birth characters clash—especially since thinking of that problem makes me think of Chen Jingyun, and then I start thinking, 'It's all that bastard's fault I'm stuck in this godforsaken place, Shenjing.'" Wang Qi bared his teeth. "Besides, Mingzhu's calculation is not one plus one equals two. It is that one prime number plus another prime number equals an even number, written as (1+1), not 1+1."
Mingzhu's calculation was known on Earth as Goldbach's Conjecture. Interestingly, this mathematical problem had been "dug up" in Divine Land, and it was also connected to the Bo family. Bo Yage and Bo Yuehan's
