The story of gauss, a mathematical genius
Gauss 1777~ 1855 was born in Brunswick, north-central Germany. His grandfather is a farmer, his father is a mason, his mother is a mason's daughter, and he has a very clever brother, Uncle Gauss. He takes good care of Gauss and occasionally gives him some guidance, while his father can be said to be a "lout" who thinks that only strength can make money, and learning this kind of work is useless to the poor.

Gauss showed great talent very early, and at the age of three, he could point out the mistakes in his father's book. At the age of seven, I entered a primary school and took classes in a dilapidated classroom. Teachers are not good to students and often think that teaching in the backcountry is a talent. When Gauss was ten years old, his teacher took the famous "from one to one hundred" exam and finally discovered Gauss's talent. Knowing that his ability was not enough to teach Gauss, he bought a deep math book from Hamburg and showed it to Gauss. At the same time, Gauss is familiar with bartels, a teaching assistant who is almost ten years older than him. bartels's ability is much higher than that of the teacher. Later, he became a university professor, giving Professor Gauss more and deeper mathematics.

Teachers and teaching assistants went to visit Gauss's father and asked him to let Gauss receive higher education. But Gauss's father thought that his son should be a plasterer like him, and there was no money for Gauss to continue his studies. The final conclusion is-find a rich and powerful person to be his backer, although I don't know where to find it. After this visit, Gauss got rid of weaving every night and discussed mathematics with Bater every day, but soon there was nothing to teach Gauss in Bater.

1788, Gauss entered higher education institutions despite his father's opposition. After reading Gauss's homework, the math teacher told him not to take any more math classes, and his Latin soon surpassed the whole class.

Hua (1910-1982) is a native of Jintan County, Jiangsu Province. He was named Luo Geng because his father, Hua fellow villager, put him on the laundry list of a lucky birth.

Hua loved to play and join in the fun since he was a child, but his lessons were mediocre and sometimes he failed. I barely finished primary school and entered Jintan Middle School in my hometown, but I was still playful and my handwriting was crooked. When I do my math homework, I draw it carefully, but it's like graffiti. Therefore, Hua in junior high school is still disliked by teachers and often ruled.

Wang Weike, a middle school teacher in Jintan, has a unique vision. He studied Hua's graffiti book and found that these altered places reflected various methods he explored when solving problems. On one occasion, Teacher Wang Weike told his students that Sun Tzu's Calculation of the Art of War had such a problem: "This matter is unknown, and the number of three and three is the second, the number of five and five is the third, and the number of seven and seven is the second. What is the geometry of things? " When everyone was silent, a student stood up. As you can see, flowers have always been looked down upon. At that time, he was only fourteen. Can you guess how much Hua said?

1. Chen Jingrun doesn't like playing parks, shopping and studying. When I study, I often forget to eat and sleep.

One day, Chen Jingrun touched his head during lunch. Oh, his hair is too long. He should get a haircut quickly, or people will think he is a girl when they see him. So he left work and ran to the barber shop.

There are so many people in the barber shop that everyone cuts their hair next to each other. Chen Jingrun's brand is the small brand number 38. He thought it was too early for me to turn now. Time is so precious that I can't waste it. He hurried out of the barber shop, found a quiet place to sit down, then took out a small notebook from his pocket and recited new words in a foreign language. He recited it for a while and suddenly remembered that when he was reading a foreign language in the morning, there was one place he didn't understand. You must understand what you don't understand. This is Chen Jingrun's temper. He looked at his watch. It's only half past twelve. He thought: check in the library first, and then come back for a haircut. He stood up and left. Who knows, not long after he left, it was his turn to get a haircut. The barber's uncle shouted, "Number 38! Who is number thirty-eight? Come and get a haircut! " Think about it. Chen Jingrun is reading in the library. Can he hear the barber's uncle calling number 38?

After a long time, Chen Jingrun found something he didn't understand in the library, and then went to the barber shop happily. But he passed by the foreign language reading room, and there were all kinds of new books, which were really nice. He ran in and read another book. It was not until the sun went down that he remembered to cut his hair. As soon as he touched his pocket, the little sign No.38 was still lying well. But what's the use of his coming to the barber shop? This number is outdated.

2. Archimedes

King Shiloh of Syracuse asked the goldsmith to make a crown out of pure gold. Because it is suspected that there is silver mixed in it, Archimedes is invited to identify it. When he entered the bathtub to take a bath, the water overflowed outside the bathtub, so he realized that although the weight of objects made of different materials was the same, the discharged water would be different because of their different volumes. According to this truth, it can be judged whether the crown is adulterated.

. 1966 Chen Jingrun, who lives in a six-square-meter hut, borrowed a dim kerosene lamp, leaned against the bed board and used a pen to consume several sacks of draft paper. He actually conquered (1+2) in the world-famous mathematical puzzle "Goldbach conjecture", creating a distance from taking off 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 enabled him, Wang Yuan and Pan Chengdong to win the first prize of China Natural Science Award with 1978 * *. His achievements in studying Goldbach conjecture and other number theory problems are still far ahead in the world. A world-class master of mathematics and American scholar A Will (A? Weil) once praised him like this: "Every job in Chen Jingrun is like walking on the top of the Himalayas.
