On the Beauty of Mathematics
I read an interesting story recently. 1908, a German named Wolfskeil set up a prize of 65438+ million marks to encourage those who can finally prove Fermat's last theorem. Why are you doing this? Because Wolfskeil was frustrated in love when he was a child and wanted to commit suicide. However, at the last moment of suicide, he discovered Fermat's last theorem, began to study it, and finally forgot to commit suicide! Fermat's last theorem saved his life.

I have been passionate about mathematics since I was a child. I remember when I was in primary school, I used about 20 pages of manuscript paper and took pains to think that I had proved Goldbach's conjecture (any even number greater than 2 can be divisible by the sum of two prime numbers). At that time, I was extremely excited and thought that I had solved the world math problem. Unfortunately, the manuscript at that time did not stay, although the problem-solving process was definitely problematic.

Another time, I went to the bookstore to buy Selected Works of Mathematics in Hua Primary School. I vaguely remember the bookstore assistant asking me in surprise, who is this book for? My timid answer is to buy it and see for yourself. In fact, I have kept this book to this day and put it on my bookshelf. A lot of knowledge about reading and learning in the book still affects me today. There are a few memorable words, such as "down-to-earth, seeking truth from facts, taking a step forward, climbing high and leaving me, traveling far and using near", "learning to read from thin to thick, and then from thick to thin", and "operating brilliantly and keeping a heart". The first and third sentences are easy to understand. The second sentence means that learning and reading should be accumulated bit by bit from scratch and gradually become thicker. Then after digesting the thick knowledge, it will absorb the essence and become very thin content.

My love for mathematics comes from my bones. Worship of several great mathematicians is even more. Mathematical geniuses Gauss, Euler and Descartes, and China's favorite mathematician is Hua. The magical number theory once made me crazy during middle school, but the only regret was that I couldn't engage in a career related to mathematics. I remember seeing the calculus equation discovered by Newton and Leibniz again. It's amazing! These simple digital symbols have solved too many practical problems and contained much wisdom.

Interestingly, many mathematicians are proficient in all kinds of knowledge. Descartes, a French mathematician, is the father of analytic geometry. He is a famous mathematician, philosopher, physicist and theologian in France. He founded the plane rectangular coordinate system, and he left a famous saying "I think, therefore I am". Hegel called him the father of modern philosophy. He said, "I only do two things in my life. The first thing is that I will do simple things, and the second thing is that I will make complex things simple. " So are smart people!

Some people think that mathematics is logical and rigorous, which cultivates the logic and rigor of thinking and belongs to pure science and engineering. In fact, I personally think that mathematics is more artistic and cultural besides logic. Our favorite childhood games, such as Rubik's Cube, Nine Rings, Cheese Problem, etc. It's actually a math problem. The two simplest numbers, 0 and 1, have actually achieved the most basic principles of computer binary and opened up a big discipline. The number 3 represents many meanings, so the ancients said that three people must have a teacher. The numbers 6 and 8 make many people feel lucky and smooth, and the license plate number also likes this number. Nine and five symbolize the authority of the emperor, known as the ninth five-year supreme, as well as the magical golden section and so on. The mystery of mathematics is a long story!

The beauty of mathematics is really desirable, and it is also a career worth exploring all our lives. ...
