Mathematical travel diary
Einstein, a famous scientist and physicist, has been dead for 65 years, but his great image in people's minds has not been affected at all. The four fields of special relativity, general relativity, cosmology and unified field theory initiated by him in the field of physics will profoundly affect the future scientific and technological trend of mankind.

It is no exaggeration to say that Einstein devoted his life to human science, from the universe to subatomic particles. Whether there will be a latecomer in modern physics is unknown, but it is absolutely unprecedented.

However, for people like Einstein, high school math scores were once very poor. If Einstein were still alive, he wouldn't bother to prove anything for this, but in order to restore this most awesome portrait of learning gods, the Nobel Prize official recently released his report card during his study in Alau 65438-0896 high school in Switzerland.

According to the report card, Einstein scored 6 points in algebra, geometry, projection geometry, physics and history, 5 points in German language and literature, Italian language and literature, natural history, chemistry and other subjects, and even full marks in geography, painting and industrial drawing. The worst is French language and literature, with only 3 points.

I don't know what you think after reading this report card, but I have some ideas to share with you:

As can be seen from the report card, Einstein got good grades in arts and sciences in high school, especially in science and mathematics, and the rumor that he was poor in mathematics has been shattered. Many people don't know, in fact, Einstein loved mathematics enthusiastically since he was a child. /kloc-started to learn Euclidean geometry by himself at the age of 0/2, and/kloc-finished calculus by himself at the age of 0/6. He is a real god of learning and a world-class student.

But after all, learning God is not a god, but a mortal, and Einstein's growth path is not smooth sailing. 1895, after studying calculus, he wanted to apply for the famous Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, but he finally failed in the entrance examination. Seeing this, have you found any comfort in imitating the public face like you? Hehe ...) But he didn't get discouraged, but continued to study hard in Arau Middle School. Finally, after graduation, I was admitted to Swiss Federal Institute of Technology.

Many people are curious: What is the secret of Einstein's success? He is an unreserved person. He has generously shared his experience with the world: learning time is a constant, but its efficiency is a variable. It is unwise to simply pursue study time. The most important thing is to improve study efficiency.

In his view, students should not study hard, but should take part in more cultural and sports activities to gain abundant energy and keep a clear head. Einstein also summed up a formula based on his own personal experience, namely: a = x+y+z. A stands for success, X stands for the correct method, Y stands for hard work, and Z stands for less nonsense. He summed up the content of this formula in two sentences: the combination of work and rest is the ladder of success, and cherishing time is an important condition for making achievements.

Seeing this, I wonder if it has brought you some inspiration?

Although Einstein was born in Germany, his parents were Jewish, so he was also a descendant of Jews with pure blood.

Historically, Jews lived in different countries at different times, such as Egypt and Poland. It was not until 1948 that Israel was founded that they had the first Jewish state in nearly 2000 years. Even so, among the 654.38+04 million Jews in the world today, only more than 7 million of them live in the United States, and some of them are scattered in other countries.

Although Jews have a small population, accounting for only 0.2% of the world's total population, they have produced many celebrities. From 190 1 to 2004, there were as many as 167 Nobel Prize winners, accounting for 22% of the total number of Nobel Prizes.

In addition to Einstein, the Jewish people also have many world-famous figures in other fields, such as Karl Marx, the great mentor of the proletariat and working people all over the world, Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb, edward tylor, heinrich hertz (whose international frequency unit is named after Hertz), Henry Feiner, the inventor of the helicopter, and an American woman.

Although Einstein was not born and raised in Israel, according to his will, after his death in 1955, his family kept all his letters and manuscripts in Hebrew University, the highest institution in Israel.

His behavior angered the fascists. 1933, the Nazi government of Germany raided his apartment in Berlin, burned his books, confiscated his property, and offered a reward of100000 marks for his head. Fortunately, he escaped this robbery because he worked at the Princeton Institute for Advanced Studies, but he was forced to become an American citizen. In order to support the anti-fascist war, Einstein also auctioned the manuscript of 1905 special theory of relativity in 1944 for $6 million.

During the Second World War, the whole world was in dire straits. 1On August 2, 939, Einstein sent a letter to the then President Roosevelt of the United States, saying that the United States should stop being "neutral" and pay close attention to the development of atomic bombs in order to prevent Nazi Germany from taking the lead and bringing disaster to the world. His suggestion was adopted, which directly contributed to the start of the famous Manhattan project in the United States.

Einstein suggested that the United States give up neutrality and encourage it to study atomic bombs. The starting point was to contain German fascism, but it created the only superpower in the world. If you see America playing today, I wonder what Einstein would think under the grave?

At the beginning of last century, China was riddled with problems, and the development of science and technology was seriously lagging behind. But Einstein's theory of relativity had spread to China in 19 19, especially in 1920. After Russell, his good friend and British philosopher, came to China to give lectures, this great theory left a deep impression on China academic circles.

1922 In the winter, Einstein was invited to give lectures in Japan, during which he passed through Shanghai twice and witnessed the current situation in China at that time. He wrote in his travel diary: "This is the poorest country on earth. They were brutally abused and treated worse than cattle and horses. "

From 65438 to 0938, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression was in full swing in China. In order to help China resist Japanese aggression, he and Roosevelt's eldest son set up the "China Aid Committee" and launched a fund-raising campaign for aid to China in 2,000 towns in the United States, which provided valuable support for the people of China to resist Japanese aggression.

1940, Einstein said in his famous article "I don't believe in a personified God": "I believe in Spinoza (Dutch philosopher), who shows the order and harmony of the universe, not a God who will interfere with human destiny and behavior."

This can also be proved by Einstein's personal letter worth $3 million that was auctioned in 20 12. In the letter, he made it clear that he didn't believe in God in the Bible or Christian teachings: "To me, the word' God' is only the expression and product of human fragility, and the Bible is just a respectable but still naive collection of primitive legends. No explanation, no matter how mysterious, can change this ... "

Faced with such a direct statement, I just want to say: great men never believe in God, because they are gods in people's hearts.

Although Einstein has the nationality of Germany, the United States and Switzerland successively, he is a world citizen without national boundaries. No matter his outstanding contribution to human science and technology or his unremitting efforts in opposing the global war, his feelings are based on the concept of human existence and strong humanitarianism, without any political or utilitarian color.

Einstein made a will before his death: no funeral, no grave, no monument and no memorial hall. After his body was cremated, the ashes were scattered in a place that had been kept secret, in order to prevent the place where he was buried from becoming a sacred place. He has never worshipped a personified god in his life, and he doesn't want future people to worship him as a god.

Great men are great not only because they have made great contributions to all mankind, but also because they are above fame and fortune. However, this world is so strange: people who don't want to be remembered by future generations remain in human history forever; And those who want to live forever, but ...
