Recently, I watched a documentary called "The Man Selected by Mathematics". Starting from the relationship between mathematics and people, this documentary introduces us to the significance of mathematics, and invites many "people selected by mathematics" to talk about their views on mathematics. The most interesting part of the documentary is about the irrational number π, which is often mentioned in our lives.
The circle can be said to be a "perfect" figure in mathematics, and it is also true in life. Many buildings around us, such as Shanghai Planetarium, Shanghai Institute of Physics, Oriental Pearl and so on. , are made up of circles as part of the building, which also makes this kind of building look particularly beautiful. The beautiful arc on the circle and the perfect connection between the two endpoints always give people a "perfect" visual sense.
In addition to "circle", the "pi" obtained by dividing pi by diameter is also a hot topic in mathematics. Although π is an irrational number, countless mathematicians have devoted their lives to pursuing its "mystery" throughout the ages. This is because the infinite pursuit of the unknown is the ultimate meaning of human existence in the universe.
Sometimes I think math is a bit boring, and a lot of calculations and geometric figures will make me feel bored. When I heard the documentary saying, "In fact, what we learned in class may not really be called mathematics." I became interested in this documentary when I was young. Since what I am studying is not real "mathematics", what is real "mathematics"?
Through watching the documentary, I learned that in the eyes of these "people selected by mathematics", mathematics was beautiful, simple, abstract and even fascinating. As one of them said, "From one side of the mountain, the height is different." Mathematics brings different feelings to everyone. The reason why these people can become "chosen by mathematics" is naturally because they study mathematics hard and are full of enthusiasm for mathematics.
We should also study mathematics, at the same time, pay more attention to understanding mathematics and apply mathematics to real life. Maybe we can also feel the beauty of mathematics like those "chosen by mathematics"!
