I’ll Give a Bonus of 500,000!

(Please Subscribe, Ask for Monthly Pass)_2 In 1970, a mathematician from the former Su Country, Yuri Matiyasevich, proved that there is no such universal algorithm for the tenth question, giving a very definitive negative answer to Hilbert’s tenth problem.

But this doesn’t mean the Diophantine problem has no research value.

In fact, this negative conclusion precisely proves that the Diophantine equation is extremely complex in some cases, and it can even be said that it surpasses the realm that traditional algorithms can solve, playing a fundamentally important role in computational theory.

So the Diophantine equation is still viewed as one of the world-class problems in number theory, especially in higher dimensions and more complex scenarios.

Now, someone has managed to solve this equation by hand?

And it’s a newbie who’s just applied to join the forum?

Xue Song only felt his mind buzzing.

…

The math community in Huaxia is not that big, and even fewer are studying number theory.

So the Algebraic Number Theory Treehouse is actually a very niche forum, relying entirely on word-of-mouth for promotion and having no profit requirements at all.

It is a gathering place for domestic algebra and number theory professors and graduate students to discuss daily topics.

It is generally unlikely for an outsider to storm in, and even if someone accidentally clicks in, wanting to register, they can only be stumped in front of fifty multiple-choice questions randomly selected from the question bank.

You should know the forum’s question bank is extremely rich.

Because from the beginning of the math veterans, every upgrade requires the upgrader to provide two multiple-choice questions to the forum’s assessment question bank.

They are included in the question bank after being reviewed and approved by at least three of the forum moderators.

Considering everyone’s different personalities, some professors really enjoy making it difficult for others.

So over the years, the question bank has accumulated all sorts of eccentric questions.

Let’s put it this way, he recently recommended a newly accepted master-doctor continuous graduate student to join the forum, and it took them two days, going through five rounds of questions, to pass the assessment with ninety-two points.

Of course, this does not completely mean that the student’s ability is lacking.

After all, succeeding in several tries not only depends on strength but also on luck.

Some mischievous questions exist just to create pitfalls, and even if he is careless, he could be misled to choose the wrong answer.

So as long as you can successfully register, even bearing a newbie tag, you’ve at least stepped into the realm of number theory.

But the problem with the newbie tag is that Xue Song has no idea who the other party is!

Yes, in this forum, anyone with at least a Math Freak title, Xue Song, even if not knowing all of them in reality, knows at least seventy to eighty percent.

It’s just that some of them don’t have a very good relationship with him in real life and have little interaction.

Even if there are some he doesn’t know, just asking around in the circle can help find the right person.

But it’s different with a newly applied newbie.

The small forum just has an IP recording function left from a long time ago, and registration doesn’t even require a phone number.

As long as there’s an email that can regularly send and receive emails and receive a verification code automatically sent by the server, one can register.

The lack of real-name requirement is quite frustrating!

…

Although there was a heap of chaotic thoughts in his mind, ten minutes later, Xue Song was already sitting at the computer in the study, quickly logging into the forum.

The first thing in sight was the post from that newbie.

After all, the title had high recognition, and it had already been manually pinned by a forum moderator he knew.

Xue Song certainly knew this was not aimed at him.

In fact, if he were there, he would directly pin this post as well.

Otherwise, how would he be different from those so-called seniors in his eyes who do nothing despite taking up space?

He clicked on the post and saw the result provided by the other party.

He copied the result, directly substituted it into the equation, and used computer computation.

Given the equation’s simple structure, the programming work was quick too, and in less than ten minutes, the result was verified to be correct.

To ordinary people, this might seem redundant, as more than one student in the WeChat group claimed they had verified it.

But for a qualified mathematician, going through the calculations themselves is a step that cannot be omitted.

While handing over to the computer for computation, Xue Song also roughly skimmed through the post and the replies below it that the newbie posted.

To be honest, the evaluations from his students were fair; the written content in this post indeed didn’t seem like something a legitimate academic figure would say, even online.

Especially the sentence, “…but don’t get mad yet, I’ve come to this forum, and you old guys will have plenty of chances to be driven mad in the future!

I’m afraid you’ll get too angry now, and you’ll slow down in posing questions in the future.”

Even he felt embarrassed looking at it!

If this was really something a bigwig said and the forum’s name gets exposed in reality, mentioning old guys and uncles here…

How awkward would it be to meet in various meetings in the future, leading to direct social death?

If it was just an ordinary student, highly likely they might only have just passed their master’s exam and haven’t officially started learning under a mentor.

Maybe their mentor just told them about this forum and let them join first without much explanation.

Because it is evident that this guy is not familiar with this forum, if he knew a little, he probably wouldn’t dare to speak recklessly at those IDs.

After all, most of the active high-level IDs here are relatively young master and doctoral advisors in number theory fields at various universities and research institutions.
