Chapter 5 The wise man has nothing in his hands

For the prolific mathematician Edos, abstract thinking was the only real thing. Eidos was the most prolific mathematician alive, and probably the most prolific mathematician of all time.A first-class mathematician can write 50 to 100 papers in his lifetime, but Eddos has published more than 1,000 papers.Mathematicians on four continents see it as their collective duty, even a duty to mathematics, to take care of Iddos's life, because Iddos was a homeless, jobless, and check-free bum, which is not to say He had only recently lost these things, but he had never had them, the only thing he had was his mind.

Of course Eddos had a family when he was a child. His parents were middle school mathematics teachers in Hungary. At school, he was a maladjusted student whose early education was mainly from his parents.He entered Budapest's Pazmany Peter University at the age of seventeen and obtained a doctorate at the age of twenty-one. Afterwards, he lived without a fixed place and wandered around. He rarely stayed in one place for more than a month, and he rarely even stayed in the same room. sitting too long.He carried two purses with him, and he didn't want anything that couldn't be put in the purses.

Eidos approached his life the way a pure mathematician would conduct his research: completely oblivious to the existence of the real world.For him, abstract thinking is the only real thing.Perhaps because he is too focused on abstract thinking, he is particularly prolific. Everywhere he goes, his own mathematician will arrange his daily life, and then listen to his high-level theories pouring out like a spring, and then someone will buy him a plane ticket , book a room and ask him to go to another place. His mother hoped that he would settle down, marry a wife, and have children, but these were nothing but fantasy to Eddos.He said: "It was so complicated, basically, I was out of my mind and I couldn't bear the pleasure of sex.Absolute independence is the goal he pursues in life and mathematics.

Eddos is often penniless, let alone real estate, but he said: I never think this is a sacrifice. In ancient times, a Greek said: The wise man has nothing in his hands.
