The Mathematics Genius Euler Obtained the Manuscript
I glanced at the map of the library.
Cheng Hao soon found the mathematician’s manuscript showroom.
Without hesitation, Cheng Hao followed the instructions above and came to the fourth floor.
In a huge palace-like library on the fourth floor, a white-haired old man, wearing glasses with transparent frames, was sitting on the counter, carefully wiping an old book. The book is very old, and there are even many The pages of the book have been eaten by bugs, and holes have appeared on the pages.
But the old man took great care of this book. He carefully began to repair the book in his hand, and then gently wiped off the parts that had been eaten by moths.
Seeing Cheng Hao’s arrival, the old man slowly put down the book in his hand, and looked at Cheng Hao in front of him with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
“Who are you? What are you here for?”
“Oh! I’m a newly enrolled doctoral student, and I want to find some manuscripts of predecessors’ research on Goldbach’s conjecture!”
With that said, Cheng Hao quickly took out his student ID card from his hand and handed it to the old man beside him.
The old man took the student ID card from Cheng Hao, glanced at the student ID card in front of him, and then looked up at Cheng Hao through the gap between his glasses.
“Cheng Hao?”
“right!”
Cheng Hao nodded quickly.
“I’ve heard of you, you are a very good young scientist!”
The old man calmly said to Cheng Hao in front of him.
“I’ll take you to find it. Goldbach’s conjecture is the most researched conjecture in the mathematics world. Many famous scientists have dabbled in this conjecture, but only some of them have achieved staged success. Among them, the best proof, It is your famous scientist in China, Mr. Chen Jingrun, but unfortunately, the Flint Library does not have his manuscript.”
With that said, the old man shook his head with some pity.
With that said, the old man brought Cheng Hao to the classics room beside him.
There is a row of display bookshelves, and there is no dust on them. It can be seen that the manuscripts in front of me are very well preserved.
“These manuscripts are extremely precious. If you want to read them, you can only read them here. You can’t take them out of here, and you can’t destroy them. But if I see a little more gaps, don’t think about it in the future.” One more step here!”
The old man stared at Cheng Hao in front of him and said.
“I know!”
Cheng Hao nodded quickly.
After looking at Cheng Hao in front of him for a few times, the old man nodded, and led Cheng Hao to a nearby bookshelf.
“Here is the dying manuscript of a mathematician who had studied Goldbach’s conjecture. I don’t know if there is any research on Goldbach’s conjecture in these people’s manuscripts. You can find it yourself!”
Hearing what the old man said, Cheng Hao looked at the bookshelf in front of him curiously.
“Ola, Brown, Temach…”
Looking at the names on the bookshelf, Cheng Hao’s eyes showed a hint of shock.
At this time, the old man continued to chatter: “As for the proof manuscript of Goldbach’s conjecture, there are only two people in the entire library, only Brown’s and Temacher’s…”
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Cheng Hao felt a little bit emotional at this time, but also a little solemn.
This is the bottom line!
Huaxia University, even Yanda University and Shuimu University, have no similar manuscripts at all, and it is impossible for these manuscripts to be shown to others.
And this case is very rare, and the background is too poor.
The manuscripts of these scientists before their death, or the manuscripts on a certain major proposition, are actually of great significance to research.
Even sometimes the manuscripts of these people can have a huge enlightenment effect on your thinking.
Cheng Hao felt a little emotional in his heart.
If you don’t accumulate silicon, you won’t be able to reach thousands of miles; if you don’t accumulate small streams, you won’t be able to form rivers.
If there is no road ahead, then we have to rely on ourselves and these people to open up a road step by step to strengthen the foundation of basic science for the country and the nation!
Thinking of this, Cheng Hao’s expression became serious.
“Sir, may I trouble you, can I have a look at Euler’s manuscript?”
Cheng Hao politely turned to the sidesaid the old man.
Hearing Cheng Hao’s words, the old man looked Cheng Hao up and down.
“Although this Euler studied Goldbach’s conjecture in his early years, this is his dying manuscript, which may not contain research on Goldbach’s conjecture!”
“It’s okay, I want to see it!”
“Fine!”
The old man carefully took out a yellowed booklet from the bookshelf, and put it in Cheng Hao’s hand.
“Remember, I will check it carefully later, if there is even the slightest mistake, I will not let you go!”
The old man looked at Cheng Hao vigilantly.
“Don’t worry! I promise, what it looks like when you give it to me will be what it looks like when I return it later!”
Cheng Hao looked at the old man in front of him helplessly.
The old man nodded and left.
Cheng Hao found a place in the library and sat down.
Carefully flipping through the yellowed manual in his hand.
Euler, a Swiss mathematician and physicist, is one of the pioneers of modern mathematics. He established almost half of the order of modern mathematics, and countless mathematical theorems are named after him.
Looking at the entire history of mankind, Euler is definitely one of the most outstanding geniuses.
With a mentality of pilgrimage, Cheng Hao opened Euler’s handbook.
In fact, Euler’s Handbook is not that mysterious. Cheng Hao has learned many things in it by himself or from his teacher.
It just seems that the version in the manual is somewhat different from the version after publication.
Cheng Hao flipped through the manual. The things on it were a bit messy. What people in the future will see should be the sorted version, which is easier for people to understand.
And some unproven things will definitely not appear in those published versions.
Cheng Hao felt that those things that were excluded from the published version were obviously more interesting. Although they might not have any practical significance, there was a feeling that they were playing with mathematics.
With this thought in mind, Cheng Hao looked at these playful thoughts in front of him with great interest.
Inexplicably, he had the feeling that he was communicating face-to-face with Euler, a centuries-old mathematics genius. Some of the tricks and small ideas were all in the manuscript.
This made Cheng Hao deeply moved. He finally understood the meaning of the manuscript deeply.
After flipping through Euler’s manuscript for more than an hour, Cheng Hao soon saw Euler’s research on Goldbach’s conjecture.
Cheng Hao was shocked immediately, and he concentrated on the Euler research on Goldbach’s conjecture in front of him.
When Goldbach proposed his conjecture, he wrote to Euler, hoping to solve Goldbach’s conjecture through Euler, the most famous mathematician at that time.
It’s a pity that Euler couldn’t solve it. Until the end of his life, Euler was still studying this conjecture.
