パンサー尾形貴弘が数学の難問を大真面目に解説する「笑わない数学」。今回は京都大学の望月新一教授が証明した「abc予想」。簡単なはずのたし算が数々の難問を生む!?
数学で最も重要な未解決問題と言われた「abc予想」。それは「たし算」と「かけ算」の“からみ合い”に関する超難問だ。実は「abc予想」が解決されると数学の世界に存在する数々の難問が一気に解けてしまうという。私たちが簡単だと思っている「たし算」がたくさんの難問を生んでいるという意外な事実とは?数学者の間で「超難解で理解できない!」とされる望月教授の「宇宙際タイヒミューラー理論」のエッセンスもご紹介!
Panther Takahiro Ogata explains difficult mathematical problems in a very serious manner in "Math without Laughing". This time, the "abc Conjecture" proved by Prof. Shinichi Mochizuki of Kyoto University. Addition, which is supposed to be easy, gives rise to numerous difficult problems! The "abc Conjecture" is said to be the most important unsolved problem in mathematics. It is an extremely difficult problem related to the "conjunction" of "addition" and "multiplication. In fact, it is said that if the "abc Conjecture" is solved, many difficult problems in the world of mathematics will be solved at once. What is the surprising fact that "addition," which we think is easy, gives rise to many difficult problems?We also introduce the essence of Professor Mochizuki's "Inter Universe Teichmüller Theory", which is considered "super difficult and incomprehensible" among mathematicians!
