Cauchy (1789— 1857) is a French mathematician, physicist and astronomer. /kloc-At the beginning of the 9th century, calculus has developed into a huge branch with rich contents and wide applications.
At the same time, its weaknesses are increasingly exposed, and the theoretical basis of calculus is not strict. In order to solve new problems and clarify the concept of calculus, mathematicians have carried out rigorous work of mathematical analysis. In the foundation work of analytical foundation, Cauchy, a great mathematician, was the first to make outstanding contributions.
2. Math master Chen Jingrun
Chen Jingrun is one of the world famous analytic number theorists. In the 1950s, he made important improvements on the existing results of Gauss circle lattice point problem, sphere lattice point problem, Tali problem and Waring problem. After 1960s, he made extensive and in-depth research on screening methods and related important issues.
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 * *.
3. Math celebrity Fermat
Pierre de fermat, French lawyer and amateur mathematician. His achievements in mathematics are no worse than those of professional mathematicians. He seems to be most interested in number theory and has contributed to the establishment of modern calculus. Known as "the king of amateur mathematicians". In addition, Fermat also made important contributions to physics. Fermat, a mathematical genius, was the greatest mathematician in France in the17th century.
Fermat has never received a special mathematics education in his life, and mathematics research is just a hobby. However, in France in the17th century, no mathematician can match it: he was one of the inventors of analytic geometry; His contribution to the birth of calculus is second only to that of isaac newton and gottfried William van Leibniz. He is also the main founder of probability theory and the person who supported the world of number theory in17th century.
4. Mathematician Yun Zhiwei
20 17 12.4 paper "the breakthrough prize of the first science prize was * * * 22 million dollars, and two people in China won the prize", one of whom was Yun Zhiwei. The jury agreed that "30-year-old Yun Zhiwei has become a young leader in modern mathematics".
On August 20 12 12, 30-year-old Yun Zhiwei won the "Sastra Lamanukin" award in 20 12. The award is in memory of Indian genius mathematician Srivasa? Founded by Lamanukin, it is awarded once a year. The winners should not be over 32 years old and have made outstanding contributions in the field of Lamanukin's work.
5. Master of Mathematics Hua
Hua is the most authoritative mathematician in the field of modern applied mathematics in China. He leads a very inspiring life. With only a junior high school diploma, he not only taught himself the basics of high school, university and graduate students, but also became a master of mathematics in China.
Regarding China's mathematical talent and genius, Kong, the author of China Studies, said: "When a load of wheat, a load of rice or a basket of soybeans is placed in front of him, he can accurately report how many kilograms he has." Hua Jintan Middle School alumnus nonsense: "When a bowl of rice is served, just look at it and you will know how many grains are in it."
