The self-taught story of Chinese and foreign celebrities 1: Mathematician Hua 19 10, Hua was born in Jintan, a small county in Jiangsu. When I was a child, my family was poor, and my father opened a small grocery store in a small town to buy silk for others. The family lived a semi-starvation life. When Hua was in junior high school, he had a special interest in mathematics. His teacher, Wang Weike, attaches great importance to this clever boy and often tutors him alone and gives him some difficult problems to do, which benefits him a lot. After finishing junior high school in Jintan Middle School, Hua had to drop out of school to help with the catering business in his father's small grocery store because his family couldn't afford his schooling. But this young man who loves mathematics, although standing in front of the counter, has been thinking about mathematics. Teacher Wang Weike lent him several math textbooks: a big algebra, an analytic geometry and a calculus. Hua followed these dumb teachers into the door of advanced mathematics.
/kloc-at the age of 0/8, with the help of teacher Wang Weike, Hua went to Jintan Middle School as an accountant and was responsible for school affairs. He once recalled the hard life at that time: in addition to the heavy work at school, I had to help manage the affairs of the small shop sooner or later. I can't go home until around 8 o'clock every night. After cleaning up the accounts of the shop, you can delve into mathematics, often late at night. ? Soon, typhoid fever was prevalent in Jintan county, and Hua was unfortunately ill and stayed in bed for half a year. Later, the condition gradually improved, but the left foot was bent and deformed, leaving a crippled leg for life. Hua studied hard in poverty and illness, not only reading widely, but also being diligent in independent thinking and daring to challenge authority. /kloc-when he was 0/9 years old, he found that a university professor had written a wrong paper. He wrote his own opinion in an article entitled "Why the quintic equation solution of Su Jiaju's algebra can't be established", which was published in the second year of Shanghai Science magazine. Subsequently, Hua successively published several mathematical papers, signed? Jintan people? .
This man who made his mark on the math forum? Jintan people? , has attracted the attention of Professor Xiong Qinglai, head of the Department of Mathematics at Tsinghua University. When he learned that the math wizard turned out to be a teenager who had only attended junior high school, he was deeply shocked and wrote to invite Hua to be an administrator in the math department of Tsinghua University in Peiping at that time.
After arriving in Tsinghua, China has made even faster progress. He taught himself English and German. At the age of 24, he was able to write a math paper in English. At the age of 25, his thesis has attracted the attention of foreign mathematics circles. At the age of 28, he became a professor at National Southwest Associated University. Later, he was recommended by Professor Xiong Qinglai to go to Cambridge University for further study.
After a bumpy road of self-study, he became a world-famous master of mathematics, and foreign mathematics circles commented on him like this: Professor Hua's research works are wide enough to make him among the top mathematicians in the world? . In the late 1940s, Hua was employed by the University of Illinois and became a professor. 1950 One day, the famous professor who had served as the director of the Institute of Mathematics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences filled in the household registration book. Education level? From the column? Graduated from junior high school? Four words. Although this surprised many people, it is true: he really only has a junior high school diploma. Almost all of this master's mathematical knowledge is obtained through self-study!
1June, 983, Hua revisited the United States and accepted the honorary title of foreign academician of the American Academy of Sciences. This is the first time in the history of American Academy of Sciences 120 that this honorary title has been awarded to a scientist in China. When paying tribute to China, the president of the American Academy of Sciences said: He is a self-taught man, but he has educated millions of people. ?

Tsiolkovsky (1857- 1935), a Russian mathematician and physicist, was the founder of liquid fuel rocket. At the age of fourteen, I began to teach myself literature and natural science. From 1880, I worked as a math teacher in a school in Barov County, Kaluge Province, and continued to study astronomy, biology and chemistry by myself, especially in aviation science. 1895, he published the pattern of artificial satellite, put forward the idea of using artificial satellite to launch rockets to the moon and other planets as a midway base for space navigation, and scientifically demonstrated the possibility of realizing space flight with rockets. 1903, he published an important book "Exploring Space with Jet Device", which solved the problem that the rocket movement in space is not affected by gravity and medium resistance, and created a famous formula for calculating rocket speed.
