1, short stories by mathematician Chen Jingrun.

1966 Chen Jingrun, who lives in a six-square-meter building, borrowed a dim kerosene lamp, leaned against the bed board and used a pen to consume several sacks of toilet paper. He actually conquered (1+2) in the world-famous mathematical problem "Goldbach's thinking", created the distance and seized the crown jewel of number theory (1+).

He proved that "every big even number is the sum of the products of a prime number and no more than two prime numbers", which made him a world leader in Goldbach's conjecture research. This result is called "Chen Theorem" internationally and is widely quoted.

This work also won him the first prize of 1978 * * China Natural Science Award together with Wang Yuan and Pan Chengdong, and his achievements in studying Goldbach's thought and other number theory problems are still far ahead in the world. AWe, a world-class mathematician and American scholar, once called him Ying: "Every job in Chen Jingrun is like walking on the top of the Himalayas.

2. The short stories of mathematician Jacob Bernoulli.

Jacques Bernoulli, a Swiss mathematician, studied landscapes (called lifelines) before his death. After his death, a logarithmic line was carved on the hard tombstone, and at the same time, it was written on the hard words: "Although I have changed, I am the same as before." This is a pun, which not only describes the essence of spiral, but also symbolizes his love for mathematics.

3. Mathematician Gauss's short stories

At the age of seven, little Gauss went to primary school. The teacher's name is Butner, and he is a famous local mathematician. Young teachers from this city always think that many children are born with eggs and their talents cannot be displayed. In a math class in grade three, Butner lost his temper with the children again, and then wrote a long list of formulas on the blackboard: 81297+81495+81693+...+100701+.

"wow! How many figures are there in total? How to calculate? " The students are frightened, and the more nervous they are, the more they can't figure out how to calculate. Butner is very proud. After he knew this, he added a number 198 before. Even if these naughty students remember the calculations all morning, they won't work out the results. In a short time, Gauss came up with a small slate with answers written on it and said:

Without looking up, Butner said angrily, "Go, don't be ridiculous. Anyone who wants to scribble numbers must be careful! " Say that finish, waved a hammer fist.

But little gauss insisted on not leaving and said, "teacher, I'm not kidding." Put the slate gently on the stage. Butner looked at it, speechless with surprise. Unexpectedly, this 10-year-old child worked out the correct answer so quickly.

It turned out that Xiao Gao Si did not add numbers one by one like other children, but carefully observed, used his head and looked for the law. He found that the sum of two numbers from one end to the other is the sum of182196,50, which can be quickly calculated by multiplication.

Little Gauss's incredible mathematical talent made Butner admire and feel guilty. After that, he never looked down on poor children again. He bought many math books for little Gauss and asked his young assistant Battier to help little Gauss learn math.
