Celebrity stories are often used by students to write, so what are the celebrity stories about mathematics? The following are my carefully collected stories and achievements of famous mathematicians for your reference ~
Great aspiration of serving the motherland-Hua's story
As we all know, Hua is a self-taught world-class mathematician. He only has a junior high school diploma. Because a paper was published in Science magazine, it was appreciated by mathematician Xiong Qinglai. From then on, North China went to Tsinghua and began his mathematics career.
65438-0936, recommended by Professor Xiong Qinglai, Hua went to Cambridge University in England to study. Hardy, a famous mathematician in the 20th century, has long heard that Hua is very talented. He said: you can get a doctorate in two years. ? But Hua said:? I don't want to get a doctorate, I just want to be a visitor. I came to Cambridge to study, not to get a degree. ? In the past two years, he has devoted himself to studying the theory of heap prime numbers, published 18 papers on Waring problem, heteronomy problem and CheGoldbach problem, and won the famous? Fahrenheit theorem? To show the world the outstanding wisdom and ability of China mathematicians.
From 65438 to 0946, Hua was invited to give lectures in the United States and was hired as a tenured professor by the University of Illinois. His family also settled in the United States, with a house and a car, and their life was very comfortable. At that time, many people thought that Hua would never come back.
The birth of the new China touched China's love for the motherland. 1950, he resolutely gave up his comfortable life in America and returned to his motherland. He also wrote an open letter to China students studying in the United States, urging them to return to China to participate in socialist construction. In his letter, he confessed a pure heart of loving China: friends! Although Liangyuan is good, it is not the hometown of longevity. Should we go back for the country and the nation? Although mathematics has no national boundaries, mathematicians have their own motherland.
Hua returned from overseas and was warmly welcomed by the party and people. He returned to Tsinghua campus, was appointed as the head of the Department of Mathematics, and was soon appointed as the director of the Institute of Mathematics of China Academy of Sciences. From then on, the real golden age of his mathematical research began. He has not only made remarkable achievements that have attracted worldwide attention, but also enthusiastically cared for and trained a large number of mathematical talents. He devoted a lot of efforts to the research, experiment and popularization of applied mathematics.
According to incomplete statistics, Hua * * * has published important mathematical papers 152, 9 mathematical works and1/mathematical popular science works for decades. He was also elected as a foreign academician of the Academy of Sciences and an academician of third world scientists.
From junior high school graduation to people's mathematician, Hua has gone through a tortuous and brilliant life path and won great honor for his motherland.
Chen Jingrun (1933 ~ 1966)
China mathematician and academician of China Academy of Sciences. Fujian Minhou people.
Chen Jingrun was born in a small clerical family, ranking third with his brothers and sisters. Because there are many children at home, my father's income is meager, and family life is very tight. So Chen Jingrun seems to be a burden to his parents from birth, a person who thinks he is unwelcome. After school, I was often bullied because I was thin and weak. This special life situation has shaped him into an extremely introverted person who is not good at talking. In addition, his fascination with mathematics made him develop the habit of thinking alone and building cars behind closed doors. So, he is considered by others to be a? Strange guy? . Chen Jingrun chose to study mathematics all his life, which was related to Professor Shen Yuan. There, Chen Jingrun first learned about Goldbach's conjecture, that is, from there, from the first moment of Chen Jingrun, he was determined to take off the jewel in the crown of mathematics. 1953, he graduated from Xiamen University and stayed in the library to work, but he never forgot Goldbach's conjecture. He sent his math paper to Professor Hua, who appreciated his talent and transferred him to the Institute of Mathematics of China Academy of Sciences as an intern researcher. From then on, under the guidance of Hua, he was lucky enough to enter Goldbach's conjecture. 1966 In May, a dazzling new star flashed in the sky of global mathematics-Chen Jingrun announced that he had proved "1+2" in Goldbach's conjecture; 1972 February, completed the modification of "1+2" certificate. Incredibly, foreign mathematicians use large high-speed computers to prove "1+3", while Chen Jingrun relies entirely on paper, pens and skulls. If this is puzzling, then the six sacks of manuscript paper he used to simplify the proof of "1+2" is enough to explain the problem. 1973, he published the famous "Chen Theorem", which is considered as the glorious culmination of the screening method.
For Chen Jingrun's achievements, a famous mathematician abroad once marveled and was deeply moved: he moved mountains and poured seas!
The story of mathematician Newton
The great scientist Newton established the theoretical system of classical physics. Newton founded scientific astronomy because he invented the law of universal gravitation. Due to the decomposition of light, scientific optics was founded; Because of binomial theorem and infinite theory, scientific mathematics was founded; Because of the understanding of the nature of force, scientific mechanics was founded. In order to commemorate Newton's contribution, the International Astronomical Union decided to name the 662 asteroid Newton.
Forced to drop out of school? Little book fan?
1642, Newton was born in the home of an ordinary farmer in England. Shortly before Newton was born, his father died and his mother remarried when he was two years old. However, when Newton 14 years old, his stepfather died unfortunately and his mother had no choice but to return to her hometown. Newton was also forced to drop out of school and go home to help her farm.
In order to share the housework, Newton not only can't go to school, but can only work with his mother and look after his younger brothers and sisters every day. However, reading became Newton's only source of happiness. Young as he is, he is a real genius? Little book fan? . As for the degree of fascination, it is really beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Once, his mother asked him to drive a horse and send wheat to another village to sell. On the way back, Newton felt that the task had been completed, so he took out his book while leading the horse and read it while walking. After a long walk, Newton is going to ride back. Looking back, the horse was gone, but the reins were still in his own hands. Newton looked everywhere in a hurry, but he still couldn't see the horse. This is really troublesome. Horses are the most important thing in the family? Labor force? If you don't have a horse, it's just a broken road.
It was getting dark, and sweaty Newton trudged home anxiously. Pushing open the gate of the yard, the horse is eating forage with relish in the shed. It turned out that Newton was absorbed in reading, and the drill bit was loose, but he didn't feel anything when he was fascinated. But the old horse knew the way, and the horse soon ran home alone. Newton saw the horse go home, and a hanging heart finally fell to the ground.
Persist in the desire to learn.
Newton was? Lying? Moreover, this clever lie succeeded in deceiving his mother, which he will never forget.
At that time, Newton's mother didn't want her children to be poor all their lives, and she didn't want Newton, who was gifted and brilliant, to stay in the country forever, so she wanted to cultivate his ability to make a living independently and let him learn to manage agricultural products.
But Newton likes going to school very much, and he likes reading very much, but his mother has always disagreed with his request and insisted that he drop out of school. Finally, Newton had to study business against his mother's wishes.
In those days, Newton followed an old servant to do business in a big town more than ten miles away every morning. But this studious boy doesn't like doing business, so he just? Lazy? He quietly entrusted everything to his old servant, but he secretly went to a place to study.
As the days passed, Newton didn't cultivate his interest and enthusiasm for business at all, but made him hate business even more. All he can think about is those books, the wonderful meaning between the lines, and the reading time spent in the warm English countryside in the afternoon.
Later, stubborn Newton simply stopped going to town to do business and entrusted the old servant to go alone. However, he is a child after all, and he still goes out with the old servant every day for fear that his family will find out. He just stops halfway and hides under a fence to study.
Whenever the old servant came back at night, Newton pretended that nothing had happened and went home with the old servant.
Newton knitted it himself? In middle school, I read a lot of books leisurely, and the prime time of my youth is thick books.
In this way, day after day, the reading life under the fence is also very enjoyable. One day, Newton was reading happily under the fence, but his uncle saw him passing by. When my uncle saw this scene, he was very angry. He shouted at him for doing nothing, and took Newton's book in a rage. But when my uncle saw it, Newton was reading a math book with various mathematical symbols painted on it, which was inexplicably moved. My uncle hugged Newton and said excitedly, son, follow your ambition. Your right path should be reading. ?
After returning home, my uncle tried to persuade Newton's mother to give up business and go to school. He found that this child has superhuman talent, and should provide him with educational opportunities as much as possible. With the help of his uncle, Newton finally resumed his studies as he wished.
Newton stuck to his wishes and dreams and studied as a child. Finally, he also opened the story of his mathematician.
The story of mathematician Pascal as a child
Pascal, a French mathematician and physicist, is the founder of modern probability theory. He put forward a law about liquid pressure, which was later called Pascal's law. Pascal independently discovered the first 32 theorems of Euclid, in exactly the right order, and discovered them? Is the sum of the internal angles of a triangle equal to 180 degrees? . 1642, the world's first mechanical computing device was designed and manufactured. 1646, he made a mercury barometer and repeated atmospheric pressure experiments, paving the way for the study of fluid dynamics and hydrostatics. He also put forward the famous Pascal triangle and expounded the coefficient law of binomial expansion in algebra.
The magic of mathematics makes him magical.
Pascal was born in clermont-ferrand, Irving. He has been clever since he was a child. He fell in love with mathematics at the age of 12, and the magic of mathematics made the child almost forget to eat and sleep.
Pascal's father happened to be a respected mathematician, and he learned mathematics quite well. He had a great influence on Pascal, so that Pascal became interested in mathematics from an early age and had the opportunity to be taught by his father. Under the careful education of his father, Pascal mastered Euclidean geometry in his early years. One day, he came to his father's room and said proudly, I found something new! ? The father buried himself in his work and saw his son in high spirits. He immediately turned around and said softly, What's the matter?
On that day, the father never imagined that his young son had independently discovered the first 32 theorems of Euclid, and the order was completely correct. This is too unexpected for my father. At the same time, the father is also very happy, feeling that his years of training have not been in vain, and his son will certainly be a scholar who makes a difference.
A young man's debut came out.
163 1 year, Pascal moved to Paris with his family. Paris, the metropolis that mainland French people dream of, has accepted all foreigners with its unique prosperity, noise, excitement and complexity, and also accepted Pascal's family with the same attitude and expression. Pascal was only eight years old.
Soon Pascal took part in the collective activities of mathematicians and physicists in Paris. Pascal at this time, regardless of age or qualifications, was very shallow, let alone any achievements. However, everyone knows that he is a gifted boy and a star of hope to climb the peak of mathematics.
1639, Pascal 16 years old. When I was a child, my fascination with mathematics and science never weakened as I grew up. This charming teenager has become smarter and more diligent. Pascal often stays up reading and forgets to eat and sleep. All this is because he has a new, big and great plan to write a book about geometry.
Pascal, 16 years old, devoted all his energy to this book called Geometry of Conic Curves. This is Pascal's first work and one of his famous works.
By 1640, Pascal 17 years old. This year, he finally completed the conic geometry. As Pascal, this book has won unanimous praise in the field of mathematics. At the same time, the scientist Descartes began to pay attention to this young man. The rising star of Ran Ran finally began to shine.
A landmark invention
Pascal moved to Rouen with his family in 164 1. Life in Paris is over, but Pascal's academic research has just begun. When Pascal grew up, he had a very clear goal, and an accidental invention came quietly in a casual moment.
From 1642 to 1644, Pascal helped his father calculate taxes. This is a meticulous job, and Pascal is very suitable for it. In the past two years, Pascal invented the adder in tedious, complicated and accurate calculations. This is the earliest calculator in the world, which tries to free people from the heavy calculation work.
It seems that this calculator is a bit crude and can't compare with the current high technology, but this invention is a milestone, which makes scientific concepts permeate our lives.
The adder invented by Pascal is now on display in the French Museum, and countless visitors can't help but think of the story of this great scientist.
