The unification of algebra and geometry had been an age-old topic.
In fact, this wasn't even a real research area for this. It was something in the opposite direction of the general development trend of mathematics.
After all, everyone knew that the deeper a field was, the more branches there would be.
Mathematics was the same.
Two centuries ago, there were versatile scholars like Gauss, but now, even a 230IQ genius like Tao Zhexuan was only proficient in a limited number of fields.
Most people spent their entire lives trying to be proficient in a single field.
For a huge proposition like unifying algebra and geometry, except for a handful of geniuses, no one would dare to think about attempting to solve the proposition.
Because only a select few people could tackle a problem like this, the problem itself became much more valuable.
