Ju Lushi was the first famous mathematician in ancient Greece. He used to be a shrewd businessman. After he accumulated considerable wealth by selling olive oil, Cyrus devoted himself to scientific research and travel. He is diligent and eager to learn, and has the courage to explore. His hometown is not too far from Egypt, so he often travels to Egypt. When he traveled in Egypt, he calculated the height of the pyramids in a clever way, which made the ancient Egyptian king Amerasis admire him very much.
Second, the story of Archimedes
Archimedes put the crown and the same real crown into a basin of water and measured the overflowing water. It is found that the crown is lighter than the real crown, indicating that metal is mixed.
Third, the story of Goldbach
German mathematician Goldbach, born in 1690, was elected as an academician of Russian Academy of Sciences from 1725. In Petersburg, Goldbach met the great mathematician Euler, and they corresponded for more than 30 years. He has a famous conjecture, which was put forward in his correspondence with Euler. This has become a popular story in the history of mathematics.
Fourth, the story of Jacob Bernoulli.
Mathematician Jacob Bernoulli studied spirals. After his death, a logarithmic spiral was carved on the tombstone, and the inscription also said, "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.
Verb (short for verb) Euler's story
Euler, when he was a child, because he asked him how many stars there were, he violated the teacher's creed and was dropped out of school, resulting in a shepherd boy. But Euler still loves learning, and Little Euler became the youngest student in this university.
Six, Rudolph's story
/kloc-Rudolph, a German mathematician in the 6th century, spent his whole life calculating pi to 35 decimal places, which was later called Rudolph number. After his death, someone else carved this number on his tombstone. The Swiss mathematician Jacob Bernoulli studied the spiral (known as the thread of life) before his death. After his death, a logarithmic spiral was carved on the tombstone, and the inscription also read: "
Seven, the story of flowers
China pays special attention to integrating theory with practice and has traveled to more than 20 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions to mobilize the masses to apply the optimization method to agricultural production. In the interview, the reporter asked him, "What is your greatest wish?" Without thinking, he replied, "I worked until the last day." He really fulfilled his promise to work hard in science on the last day.
Eight, mathematics Chen Jingrun's short story
Mathematician Chen Jingrun was thinking while walking, and bumped into a tree trunk and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Keep thinking.
Nine, the story of Cantor
For thousands of years, scientists have been exposed to infinity, but they cannot grasp and understand it. This is indeed a sharp challenge to mankind. With his unique thinking, rich imagination and novel methods, Cantor drew masterpieces of human wisdom-set theory and super-finite number theory, which shocked the whole mathematical and even philosophical circles at the turn of the 20th century. It is no exaggeration to say, "that endless revolution about mathematics was almost completed by him alone."
Ten, Conway's story
Conway was very interested in mathematics when he was young: at the age of four, his mother found him reciting the power of two; At the age of eleven, he took part in a middle school interview. When asked what he wanted to be when he grew up, he replied that he wanted to be a mathematician in Cambridge. Later, Conway did study mathematics at Cambridge University.
