John? Carl. Friedrich? Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss (1April 30, 777-1February 23, 855) was a famous German mathematician, physicist, astronomer and geodetic scientist. As one of the founders of modern mathematics, Gauss is regarded as one of the most important mathematicians in history and is known as the "prince of mathematics". Gauss ranks alongside Archimedes and Newton as the three greatest mathematicians in the world. He made great achievements in his life, with 1 10 achievements named after his name "Gauss", which is the highest among mathematicians. He made contributions to number theory, algebra, statistics, analysis, differential geometry, geodesy, geophysics, mechanics, electrostatics, astronomy, matrix theory and optics.

The most popular story about gauss is "5050". The teacher wants to use a difficult problem.

Let the class be quiet for a class.

But I didn't expect little Gauss to tell the answer in just a minute or two. He added 1, 2,3 ... and 100, 99,98 respectively.

You get 50 10 1.

Finally, it is easy to calculate that the sum of 1 to 100 is 5050.

Little Gauss learned to calculate when he was three years old. One day, he watched his father calculate the salary of his helper.

When his father talked for a long time and finally reported the total

There is a tiny voice around me.

"dad! calculate wrongly

It should be like this ... "My father calculated it again in surprise.

This is a wrong estimate. Although no one taught him

But little Goss relies on daily observation

I learned to calculate by myself.

Little Goss's family is very poor

winter

Dad always wants him to go to bed early.

So as to save fuel. But gauss likes reading very much.

Always bring a radish (a radish-like plant). He hollowed out the center.

Use cotton rolls as wicks.

Light a book stained with grease.

I didn't go to bed until I was tired.

Gauss has made rapid progress.

later

The teacher has nothing to teach him. then

Gauss entered an institution of higher learning.

But after the math teacher read his homework,

Tell him he doesn't have to take math class in the future.

It is worth mentioning that

Gauss is not only good at math.

Chinese is also very good.

When he 18 years old.

I'm worried about whether to continue studying classical literature or mathematics in the future.

Just then

He solved a problem that puzzled mathematicians for more than two thousand years: "A ruler is a regular heptagon".

therefore

He decided to continue studying in the department of mathematics.

There is a good metaphor. If we imagine the mathematicians in the18th century as a series of mountains.

Then the last awe-inspiring peak is Gaussian; If we think of mathematicians in the19th century as rivers.

Then its source is Gaussian.

People always attribute Gauss's success to his "genius"

He himself said, "If others think deeply and continuously about mathematical truth like me."

They will find the same thing. "

Children, when we are troubled by problems in our study and life, we might as well learn from Gauss and think in another way. Maybe you will find a different world that loves you, make you better and solve problems quickly.
