The story of the famous mathematician Gauss
A math teacher in a middle school gives one of his students three math problems every day, which he will do as homework after going home and hand in the next morning.
One day, the student came home and found that the teacher gave him four questions today. The last one seemed a bit difficult. He thought: In the past, he could successfully finish three questions every day and never made any mistakes. It's time to put on his weight.
As a result, he was determined to win and sank into the thinking of solving problems with confidence. At dawn, he finally solved the problem. But he still felt a little guilty and blamed himself, thinking that he had failed the teacher's cultivation for many years-he had worked on a problem for hours.
Who knows, when he handed these four questions to the teacher, the teacher was shocked-it turned out that the last question was actually a difficult problem in the mathematics field that had been circulating for a hundred years, and no one could solve it. Out of curiosity, the teacher copied him on paper. As a result, I accidentally mixed it with three other questions and gave it to the student. Students unexpectedly conquered it without knowing the truth.
If this middle school student knew the origin of this problem, would he overcome it overnight?
Only those who believe in themselves can create miracles unconsciously. Quitting despite difficulties and indecision are often the biggest problems in life.
Mathematical prince gauss solves difficult problems
One day, at the University of G? ttingen in Germany, a young man of 19 years old finished his dinner and began to do the math problems assigned to him by his tutor. Under normal circumstances, he always finishes this special homework in two hours. As usual, the first two topics were successfully completed in two hours. The third question, written on a small piece of paper, is to make a positive 17 polygon with only compasses and an uncalibrated ruler. He didn't care and buried himself in it. However, when doing this, he felt more and more difficult. Difficulties aroused his fighting spirit: I must do it! At dawn, he finally solved the problem. The tutor was stunned after reading the homework. He said to the young man in a trembling voice, "did you really do this yourself?" Do you know that you have solved a math unsolved case with a history of more than two thousand years? Akemi and Newton didn't solve it, but you solved it in one night! I have been studying this difficult problem recently, and I accidentally put a small note with this topic in the topic for you yesterday. " Many years later, when the young man recalled this scene, he always said, "If someone told me that this is a math problem with a history of more than 2,000 years, I could not solve it for one night." This young man is Gauss, the prince of mathematics.
