Children, do you know the story of Gauss, a mathematical genius, when he was a child?
When Gauss was in elementary school, once after the teacher taught addition, because the teacher wanted to have a rest, he came up with a topic for students to calculate. The theme is:
1+2+3+ .....+97+98+99+ 100 = ?
The teacher is thinking, now the children must start class! I used this as an excuse to go out, but Gauss stopped me! ! It turns out that Gauss has worked it out. Little friend, do you know how he did it?
Gauss told everyone how he worked it out: add 1 to 100, and add 100 to 1, adding two lines, that is:
1+2+3+4+ .....+96+97+98+99+ 100
100+99+98+97+96+ .....+4+3+2+ 1
= 10 1+ 10 1+ 10 1+ .....+ 10 1+ 10 1+ 10 1+ 10 1
* * * There are one hundred sums 10 1, but the formula is repeated twice, so the answer is equal to < 5050 & gt.
Since then, the learning process of Gauss Elementary School has already surpassed other students, which laid the foundation for his future mathematics and made him a mathematical genius!
In daily life, mathematics is everywhere, such as: buying and selling vegetables, calculating how much …
The following is a short story, a story between numbers.
One day, when the digital cards were having lunch together, the youngest one spoke.
Brother 0 said, "Let's take some photos together. What do you think? "
0' s brothers and sisters said in unison, "Good."
Brother 8 said, "Brother 0' s idea is really good. I will be a good person once. Shall I provide camera and film for Brother 8? "
Old 4 said, "Brother 8, it's good, but it's a little too much trouble. Better use my digital camera. That's settled. "
So, they got busy. Finally, they took pictures for them and immediately sent the digital camera to the print shop. The computer sister tried to ask them for money, but who paid for it? They stared at each other one after another. This is what the computer sister said, "A ***5 yuan, a * * * eleven brothers and sisters, how much does one person pay on average?"
Among the eleven of them, Lao Liu is the cleverest, and this time he is the first to work out the result. Do you know how it is worked out?
Tang Priest and his disciples picked peaches.
One day, the Tang Priest told his disciples Wukong, Bajie and Friar Sand to go to Huaguoshan to pick peaches. Before long, the three disciples returned happily after picking peaches. Tang Priest and his disciples asked: How many peaches did each of you pick?
Bajie said with a silly smile, Master, let me test you. Each of us took the same amount of money. There are less than 65,438+000 peaches in my basket. If we count three peaches, there are 1 peach left in the end. Do the math. How many did each of us choose?
Friar Sand said mysteriously, Master, I will test you, too. If there are four peaches in my basket, there is 1 left in the end. Do the math. How many did each of us choose?
Wukong smiled and said, Master, I'll test you, too. If there are five peaches in my basket, there will be 1 in the end. Do the math. How many shall we each choose?
Tang Priest quickly said the number of peaches he had picked. Do you know how many peaches they each picked?
The Mathematical Genius of Animals
Honeycomb is a strictly hexagonal cylinder, with a flat hexagonal opening at one end and a closed hexagonal diamond bottom at the other end, which is composed of three identical diamonds. The rhombic obtuse angle of the chassis is 109 degrees 28 minutes, and all acute angles are 70 degrees 32 minutes, which is both firm and material-saving. The honeycomb wall thickness is 0.073 mm, and the error is very small.
Red-crowned cranes always move in groups, forming a "human" shape. The angle of the herringbone is 1 10 degrees. More accurate calculation also shows that half the angle of the herringbone-that is, the angle between each side and the direction of the crane group is 54 degrees, 44 minutes and 8 seconds! And the angle of diamond crystal is exactly 54 degrees, 44 minutes and 8 seconds! Is it a coincidence or some "tacit understanding" of nature?
The spider's "gossip" net is a complex and beautiful octagonal geometric pattern, and it is difficult for people to draw a symmetrical pattern similar to a spider's net even with the compass of a ruler.
In winter, when a cat sleeps, it always hugs its body into a ball. There is also mathematics in it, because the shape of the ball minimizes the surface area of the body, so it emits the least heat.
The real "genius" of mathematics is coral. Coral writes a "calendar" on its body, and "draws" 365 stripes on its wall every year, apparently one a day. Strangely, paleontologists found that corals 350 million years ago "painted" 400 watercolors every year. Astronomers tell us that at that time, the earth only had 2 1.9 hours a day, not 365 days a year, but 400 days. (
