The famous mathematician Gauss was very good at thinking when he was a child. One day, his teacher Bitner said, "Today, I will give you an arithmetic problem. Whoever finishes the calculation will go home for dinner first! " After that, he wrote an arithmetic problem on the blackboard. The question is this: "1+2+3+4+5+...+100 =? "

The students bowed their heads to do the problem, and the teacher began to read the novel. Before reading two pages, she heard Gauss say, "Report to the teacher, I have finished reading it."

Bitner said without looking up, "It must be wrong to finish it so soon. Go back and do it again. "

Gauss said, "It can't be wrong. It must be 5050. "

The teacher was very surprised to hear this answer, because the answer was indeed 5050. Little Gauss explained: "I found that the sum of the two numbers at the beginning and the end of one is the same, 1 plus 100 is101; 2 plus 99 is101; 3 plus 98 equals 10 1...50 plus 5 1 also 10 1, which means there are 501kloc-0/in a * *, so it is easy to calculate.

Mr. Bient was surprised that little Gauss was so good at thinking. Since then, he has paid more and more attention to Gao Si's guidance in mathematics!

Gauss1777.4.30 ~1855.2.23 is a German mathematician and scientist, who was born in a poor family in Zwick, Germany. His father, Gerhard Di Drich, worked as a berm, bricklayer and gardener. His first wife lived with him for more than 65,438+00 years and died of illness, leaving him no children. Diderich later married Luo Jieya, and the next year their child Gauss was born, which was their only child. My father is extremely strict with Gauss, even a little too strict. He often likes to plan his life for the young Gauss according to his own experience. Gauss respected his father and inherited his honest and cautious character. De Derrick died in 1806, when Gauss had made many epoch-making achievements. He, Newton and Archimedes are called the three great mathematicians of all time. Gauss is one of the founders of modern mathematics, and he has a great influence in history. He can be juxtaposed with Archimedes, Newton and Euler, and is known as the "prince of mathematics".

He showed superhuman mathematical genius when he was young. 1795 entered the University of G? ttingen. The next year, he discovered the regular drawing of regular heptagon. The condition that a ruler can be used as a regular polygon is given, and the unsolved problem since Euclid is solved.
