Nobel once neglected his wife and family when he concentrated on practical research, which directly led to the intervention of a mathematician. Since then, Nobel hates mathematicians, and the setting of Nobel Prize directly ignores mathematicians.

Correction: Nobel attaches great importance to practical science, such as biological science and physical science. Even if mathematics is unconstrained in the process of repeated checking, it is just a dead letter and meaningless. Therefore, it refused to be included in the Nobel Prize.

2. Did Newton's gravity really come from an apple hitting his head?

Once upon a time, there was a little boy playing under an apple tree. Suddenly, an apple hit the boy straight on the head. The little boy who was not greedy picked up the apple on the ground and began to think about why the apple fell to the ground instead of the sky. The world-famous Newton and his law of universal gravitation were born.

Correction: The title of this short story is too rich and beautiful, so it is not clear. I want to say a few words about Newton alone.

Newton in short stories is a cute and clever boy, but Newton in real life is very unpleasant. Mathematicians are generally followed by others. For example, Cauchy studied under Lagrange and Raul was Lagrange's master. There are countless examples of Shining on You. But Newton never accepted disciples. As the president of the Royal European Mathematical Association, he never discussed or accepted his possible mistakes in some theoretical disciplines. So when a guy named Cauchy appeared in the world, Newton was afraid to avoid it and refused to contact him directly.

It is undeniable that Newton's contribution to human science can not be underestimated, but as a human being, no one has a special personality!

Three. The origin of Fermat's law

Fermat is a lawyer, please note that this is a storm stirred up by a lawyer in the history of mathematics ~

Fermat once saw a book in the library, and somewhere in the book said that there must be a positive integer a.b.c, which makes a~2+b~2+c~2=0. On a whim, Fermat secretly wrote after this content: If the quadratic term is raised to 3 times, 4 times or even higher, no such three integers can be found, and commented: It has been proved!

Since then, the mathematical world has been restless. Hundreds of years have passed, and the problems of this century have spawned several branches of mathematics, but they have proved unsuccessful. It was not until 1993 that andrew wiles, a mathematician at Princeton University, and his students ended up perfectly. They use what they have learned all their lives to prove that the process has more than 1000 pages! No wonder wiles said Fermat was either a genius or a liar! (I prefer the latter → _→) Because many methods used in the proof process appeared hundreds of years after Fermat was born. But in order to commemorate this "liar", Fermat's Law plays an unshakable role in mathematics.

P.S.: What if there is no Nobel Prize in Mathematics?

It is difficult for the person in charge of the award. The most important prize in mathematics is the Fields Prize, which can be called the Nobel Prize in mathematics. The age limit is before 40, and wiles is already 45 ... What should I do? Of course! So far, only one person has won this award! Unprecedented, this award has become extremely glorious because of the winners.
