Dr. Zhang Yitang made a major advancement to the twin prime conjec-ture as
verified by Prof. H. Iwaniec, a famous number theorist. Some people are
curious about Yitang’s life as a graduate student at Purdue University.As
the thesis adviser of Dr. Zhang, I will share my memories of
him.

你如果是做数学的，就知道不是谁数大谁就更本质。7000万到2是否不如无穷到7000万
本质，要看是不是这一步不需要什么革命性的突破就可以完成。之前认为这个很本质，
是因为大家认为Goldston的方法已经被用到极限了，需要新方法才能从无限到有限。
Perelman，Wiles都是彻底解决了问题，不一样的。
从另一个角度说，perelman写了100页的梗概，一堆专家研究了好几年才大概明白；张
56页的paper，审稿人几天就看通了。

No mathematician should ever allow himself to forget that mathematics, more
than any art or science, is a young man's game," the British mathematician G
.H. Hardy wrote in A Mathematician's Apology. But the older guys are now
catching up.
Since Hardy wrote those lines in 1940, it has been conventional wisdom that
mathematical breakthroughs are most often made in a moment of brilliance by
