What do you make of this guy?
>>
I don't know... Some kind of singing... And they said another child is born in India every time you call his number.
>>
>>8144847
Genius. His work has been verified by over 10 mathematicians now. Good enough for me.
>>
>>8144853

well what do you mean by genius?

To be a mathematician you probably are already smart...
>>
>>8144860
He spent over a decade developing loads of new mathematics in order to develop his theory that could ultimately prove a famous unsolved problem in mathematics.
>>
>>8144870

so he is like the tesla of math?


why is he so unheard of?
>>
>>8144847
This fucker probably heard Erdos say "Mathematics isn't advanced enough for the Collatz Conjecture" and decided that he was going to make math that advanced.

He's on a different level.
>>
>>8144874
>so he is like the tesla of math?

tesla is a meme

>why is he so unheard of?

Because even the vast majority of mathematicians haven't bothered to study his work. There is a ridiculous amount of completely new mathematics to study.
>>
>>8144847
Real question for anyone who might know: what the fuck kind of material do I need to learn before even starting on his earlier papers? I've done most undergrad math, lel.
>>
>>8144876

unrivaled?
>>
>>8144883
Probably at least a post-doc in arithmetic geometry.
>>
>>8144878

how likely will he be immortalized for his math contributions?
>>
>>8144892
If he's right, then without a doubt he will be immortalized for creating an entire new field of math.
>>
I no that there is literally 5 people on the planet who at least understand something in his shit, but will his matematics do something cool? Or it is so cool that we will get some practical shit with it only in 500 years?
>>
>>8144920

I hope that this guy does indeed discover something worth the 10 years of his life coming up with that shit.

He supposedly discovered a proof of the 30 year old abc conjecture. Considering how useful this conjecture is that's not a bad start.
>>
>>8144847

will he ever stop being a sperg and talk about his work to people?
>>
>>8145625
You can get only so far with pop sci.
>>
>>8145625
He feels that we aren't trying hard enough to read it on our own.
>>
>>8145210
how is the abc conjecture useful?
>>
>>8146034
It would make solving Diophantine equations a lot easier, because you would know the number of solutions.
>>
>>8146039
well someone present one of these equations to that jap see if he gets them
>>
>>8146034
It's strong enough to prove Fermat's Last Theorem in 5 lines or so. Considering how easily stated abc is this is remarkable since it sidesteps having to resort to the proof using elliptic curves and modular forms that took ~350 years to come up with.
>>
>>8146042
I'm pretty sure he does since you learn them in grad-level courses.
>>
>>8144860
>To be a mathematician you probably are already smart...
Keep telling yourself that. B.A from your state university ain't shit kid.
>>
>>8146039
>>8146044
but does it have applications outside of mathematics?
>>
>>8146867
>applications outside of mathematics?

What do you mean by that? I could barely read that sentence. Applications? You mean like iphone apps? What is an application?
>>
>>8146853
To be successful in any field takes a certain amount of intelligence.
>>
>>8146872
>being this retarded
>>
>>8146917
Pretty sure it was sarcasm because math isn't about applications, you mouthbreather.
>>
>>8146917
I've never heard about applications.

Is that a graduate level course? I am still in undergrad pure math so maybe I am still not doing 'application theory' or whatever it is called.
>>
>>8144889
True. I read up a lot on it
>>
>>8144847

>>8146911
I don't know, from what I've seen a lack of intelligence and curiosity seems to be what gets people to upper level management, according to my experience in customer service.
>>
>>8146867
Do black holes have applications outside of physics?
>>
>>8147656
As a literary element.
>>
>>8147613
>XP
>customer service

>>8147669
He said any field.
>>
>>8147656

Sources of energy.
