Chinese ‘God Wei’ mathematical genius showcases talent by solving problem in 1 night - superadmin - 05-10-2022 Chinese ‘God Wei’ mathematical genius showcases talent by solving problem in one night that stumped team of PhDs for months The assistant professor at Peking University provided the team of PhDs with equations that helped them build a model He only accepted a recharge of his transport card for payment A Chinese mathematical genius nicknamed “God Wei” showcased his extraordinary talent when he solved a vexing problem in one night that had stumped a team of six PhD mathematicians for four months. According to online screenshots posted on May 6, the doctorate mathematicians had been struggling to build a mathematics model for months and called Wei Dongyi, a 30-year-old assistant mathematics professor at Peking University in Beijing, for help. The team adjusted their experiment according to the equations sent by Wei a few days later, and the pass rate of the new model was over 96 per cent, indicating that the model was successful. Overjoyed, the team offered to pay Wei for his work to show their appreciation, but he rejected their offer, saying, “It’s unnecessary to pay me for such an easy problem”. - More -
