However, who would have thought that in real life, there are people who are exactly the same as the protagonist of Good Will Hunting, and they are from China!
Yu Jianchun was born in Henan, aged 1983. His parents were farmers, and Jian Chun died when he was a teenager. It can be said that his first half of life was very unfortunate.
At the same time, due to family conditions and environmental reasons, education in Yu Jianchun is very backward. Yu Jianchun didn't show much talent in mathematics when he was studying. After graduating from junior high school, he went to vocational high school and became an ordinary packaging worker in a logistics company.
However, it is such an ordinary and unfortunate courier brother who solved several world problems in the future and was invited by the professor to give lectures to university doctors.
A special talent in mathematics
As we said earlier, Yu Jianchun didn't show much talent in mathematics in junior high school and vocational high school, and even in school. Since he didn't show strange talent, how can he solve world-class math problems in the future?
Different from people's most common genius thinking, Yu Jianchun's mathematical talent is different from many geniuses. Many mathematical geniuses at home and abroad demonstrated their learning and application of mathematical thinking and knowledge, while Yu Jianchun demonstrated his thinking of solving mathematical problems.
Although his grades in mathematics are average in his usual study, his interest in mathematics remains unchanged. When he has nothing to do, he always likes to study the problem-solving ideas of mathematics in order to find a faster solution.
After he was admitted to junior college, he chose animal husbandry instead of mathematics. Perhaps because of family reasons, Yu Jianchun doesn't want to expand academically like many people, but wants to become a veterinarian and lead a simple life.
Even so, Yu Jianchun still regards mathematics as an interest and thinks about new ideas in his spare time. In this way, with his own interest and unique talent, he put forward some new ideas to solve the problem, but they were not announced at this time.
Don't forget math after work.
Because Yu Jianchun chose an unpopular animal husbandry major, his employment was not very smooth. Because of family reasons, he didn't find a suitable job, and he felt very anxious. In order to make a living, he can only go to big cities to do some hard work.
During this period, he didn't want to find a suitable job, but because of the narrow professional employment and the lack of academic qualifications and professional knowledge, he found many jobs in many cities, and his unsatisfactory work made him very depressed.
Fortunately, however, he didn't give up his interest because of his work like many people. On the contrary, because of his unsatisfactory work, he had to use mathematics to adjust his mentality.
On him, he always carries a notebook full of mathematical formulas. Whenever his work is not smooth or he has free time, he will take out these formulas and the ideas behind them, which will gradually deepen his knowledge of mathematics.
Later, after years of wandering, Yu Jianchun returned to his hometown and finally found a stable job as a courier.
And this period is also an important turning point in his life. His previous research and thinking on mathematics was only out of interest, and he never thought of making great achievements in the academic field.
But this time, through the accumulation of mathematical knowledge, he has his own unique view on mathematics. He wants to prove himself, so he is ready to challenge the world-class math problem.
Became famous in World War I and was invited to give lectures at the university.
At first, Yu Jianchun faced world-class problems and was not as handy as he imagined. Although he has some reserves, he doesn't know how to break through when facing carmichael.
However, he did not give up. After work, he kept thinking and constantly used a set of problem-solving methods (that is, new algorithms) he summarized to solve them. Finally, in 20 15, at the age of 32, he solved this century-old unsolved problem.
Later, he sent an email to some famous mathematicians in China, in which he expounded his new algorithm and his solution to Carmichael number. He hopes that these people can help him verify whether his algorithm is feasible and whether his method of solving world problems is correct.
Unfortunately, perhaps because he is so ordinary, these mathematicians have been slow to respond to him, but Yu Jianchun didn't give up because of this and still sent emails to many professors. Finally, he received a reply from Cai Tianxin, a professor of mathematics at Zhejiang University.
When Professor Cai received the email, his first reaction was that this person was mostly a folk subject, but the answer about Carmichael number in the email aroused the professor's interest.
After verification, Professor Cai was surprised to find that the answer to the Kalman number was correct. At this time, he realized that he might be a witness to the birth of a genius.
Since then, Professor Cai has studied the new algorithm and invited me to give a lecture at Zhejiang University.
After the sensation, the genius returned to a quiet life.
When Yu Jianchun was giving a lecture at Zhejiang University, he was very nervous at first because he was faced with professors, doctors and some graduate students.
However, after solving several math problems with his own algorithm, his mood calmed down, and he wrote down his derivation process and formula of Carmichael number on the blackboard. This shocked all the people present, but also secretly admired Yu Jianchun's mathematical talent.
Although Yu Jianchun said afterwards that he only "guessed" the derivation process and formula of Carmichael number, can anyone really guess the answer to the world puzzle at will?
Throughout Yu Jianchun's life, we can find that although he didn't show much talent in mathematics when he was a student, he was always interested in mathematics and devoted himself to it, and devoted himself to it whenever he had time. In addition to his unique mathematical talent, his own efforts and persistence in mathematics are also important reasons why he can "guess" the derivation process and formula of Carmichael number!
Finally, although Yu Jianchun solved this world problem, he did not stay in Zhejiang University as many people imagined, but returned to his hometown and continued his ordinary life. Some people may feel sorry, but this may be one of the best endings for this genius who wanted to live an ordinary life from the beginning!
