It is said that Descartes once went to Sweden and met the beautiful Swedish princess Christina. Descartes found that Princess Christina was very clever, so he became the princess's math teacher, and they were completely immersed in the world of mathematics.
When the king learned about this, he thought Descartes was not good enough for his daughter. Not only did he forcibly separate them, but he didn't receive all the letters Descartes wrote to the princess. Later Descartes contracted the Black Death and sent the last letter to the princess before he died. There is only one line in the letter: r = a (1-sin θ).
The king and ministers naturally didn't understand what this meant, so they had to return it to the princess. The princess established a polar coordinate system on paper, traced the points of the equation on it with a pen, and finally solved the secret of this line-this is the beautiful heart line. It seems that mathematicians have their own romantic ways.
In fact, Descartes and Christina did have a friendship. However, Descartes came to Sweden on 16491October 4 at the invitation of Christina, who had already become the queen of Christina.
And Descartes and Christina are mainly talking about philosophical issues. It is recorded that Descartes can only discuss philosophy with Queen Christina at five o'clock in the morning because of her tight schedule. Cold weather and overwork made Descartes unfortunately suffer from pneumonia, which is the real cause of Descartes' death.
2. Galois
Galois is one of the greatest French mathematicians in the19th century. 16 years old to take the entrance examination of Paris Institute of Technology. As a result, the examiner didn't know what to say because there were too many steps to solve the problem during the interview, and finally he failed.
In the history of mathematics, Galois is undoubtedly the most legendary and romantic mathematician. /kloc-at the age of 0/8, galois beautifully solved the number one problem in mathematics at that time: why there was no general solution to polynomial equations of degree five or above.
He submitted this research result to the French Academy of Sciences, and the great mathematician Augustine-Louis Cauchy was responsible for reviewing the manuscript. But Cauchy advised him to go back and polish it carefully (he always thought Cauchy had lost or hidden his paper, and the recent archives research of French Academy of Sciences only rehabilitated Cauchy).
Later Galois handed the paper to Joseph Fourier, secretary of the Academy of Sciences, but Fourier died a few days later, so the paper was lost. 183 1 year, galois submitted for the third time. The reviewer at that time was Poisson. He thought Galois's paper was difficult to understand and refused to publish it.
3.[ Name] Albert Einstein (Jewish theoretical physicist)
On June 8, 2020, the Nobel Prize officially announced Einstein's report card when he was studying in a high school in Arau, Switzerland. In the grading standards at that time, 6 was the highest score and 1 was the lowest score.
The report card shows that Einstein got 6 points in algebra, geometry, projection geometry, physics and history, 5 points in German language and literature, Italian language and literature, natural history, chemistry and other subjects, 4 points in geography, painting and industrial drawing, and the worst is French language and literature, with only 3 points.
Generally speaking, Einstein made outstanding achievements in high school, both in arts and sciences. Later, he entered the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, Switzerland with excellent results.
4. Newton
Newton is a world-famous scientist. Newton loved animals when he was a child. Once, his friend gave him a dog and a cat. Newton was very happy to receive the gift and took good care of his new friend. In order to facilitate dogs and cats to enter and leave the room, Newton dug two holes by the door, one large and one small. Someone asked him why you dug two holes. Newton replied, "Can a dog go through a cat hole?"
Newton's childhood was unfortunate. His father died three months before he was born. At the age of two, my mother remarried to a neighboring village. Newton had to live with his grandmother. He never spends money recklessly. His only hobby is making small crafts, saving pocket money, buying tools such as saws and hammers, and hiding in the house after school.
Newton was very attentive when he studied. Once I boiled an egg, thinking about the mathematical formula in my heart, I mistakenly threw my watch into the pot as an egg. Another time, I started working on a problem in the morning and forgot to have lunch. When he felt hungry, it was dusk. He walked out of the study, and a breeze made him feel unusually fresh.
It suddenly occurred to me: am I not eating? How to walk into the courtyard! So he immediately turned around and went into the study again. When he saw the draft spread out on the table, he forgot to eat, and immediately he was nervously prone on the table to calculate.
5. Madame Curie
Madame Curie was a French-born Polish scientist who studied radioactivity and won the Nobel Prize twice in her life. Mary has been studying very hard since she was a child. She has a strong interest in learning and special hobbies. She never misses any learning opportunities easily, and shows tenacious enterprising spirit everywhere. Since primary school, she has been the first in every subject.
15 years old, graduated from high school with a gold medal. Her father studied physics at St. Petersburg University earlier, and her father's thirst for scientific knowledge and strong enterprising spirit also deeply influenced little Mary. She likes all kinds of instruments in her father's laboratory since she was a child. When she grew up, she read many books on natural science, which filled her with fantasies. She is eager to explore the scientific world.
But her family at that time did not allow her to go to college. /kloc-started to be a tutor for a long time at the age of 0/9, and at the same time taught himself various courses to prepare for future study. In this way, until the age of 24, she finally came to study at the Faculty of Science of Paris University.
With a strong thirst for knowledge, she listened carefully to every class. Hard study has made her worse and worse, but her academic performance has always been among the best, which not only envies her classmates, but also surprises her professors. Two years after entering school, she confidently took the Bachelor of Physics exam, ranking first among 30 candidates. The next year, she won a bachelor's degree in mathematics with the second place.
