Galois was born in a town not far from Paris. His father is the principal of this school and has served as the mayor for many years. The influence of family makes Galois always brave and fearless. 1823, 12-year-old galois left his parents to study in Paris. Not content with boring classroom indoctrination, he went to find the most difficult mathematics original research by himself. Some teachers also helped him a lot. Teachers' evaluation of him is "only suitable for working in the frontier field of mathematics".
3. The famous German scientist Gauss (1777 ~ 1855) was born in a poor family. Gauss learned to calculate by himself before he could speak. When he was three years old, he watched his father calculate his salary one night and corrected his father's calculation mistakes. When he grew up, he became the most outstanding astronomer and mathematician of our time. He made some contributions to physics electromagnetism, and now a unit of electromagnetism is named after him. Mathematicians call him "the prince of mathematics".
4./kloc-Rudolph, a German mathematician in the 6th century, spent his whole life calculating pi to 35 decimal places, which became Rudolph's number. After his death, someone else carved this number on his tombstone.
5. Swiss mathematician Jacob &; Middot 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: "Although I have changed, I am the same as before." This is a pun, which not only depicts the essence of spiral, but also symbolizes his love for mathematics.
Feng & middot, one of the most outstanding mathematicians in the 20th century, as we all know, Neumann invented the electronic computer in 1946, which greatly promoted the progress of science and technology and social life. Middot Neumann played a key role in the invention of electronic computers, and he was praised as "the father of computers" by westerners. 19 1 1 year-192 1 year, Feng &; Middot Neumann became famous when he was studying in Lucerne Middle School in Budapest, and was highly valued by teachers. Under Fichte's individual guidance, he co-published his first mathematical paper. At this time, Feng &; Middot Neumann is less than 18 years old.
3. The story of mathematician Hua
Hua has been smart and studious since childhood. In junior high school, he showed a special talent in math class. One day, Mr. Wang Weike gave the class a math problem, which was a topic in Sun Tzu's Art of War: "There are unknowns at present, three counts leave two, five counts leave three, and seven counts leave two." What is the geometry of things? " When Mr. Wang was reading this question, he read slowly and his voice was cadenced. After reading the topic, Mr. Wang swept his eyes to the whole class, and his eyes were full of nervous and confused faces. Suddenly, a student stood up and said, "There are 23 items." This is a familiar voice that awakens students from thinking and doubts. Everyone looked at him with amazing eyes.
The first student to tell the answer is young Hua. When solving this problem, Hua thinks like this: starting from "the number of seven plus seven leaves two", that is, seven leaves two, then the multiple of seven plus two will be this number, so it is not necessary to assume that this number is 7&; Times; 3+2=23。 Divide 23:23 by 3, leaving 2; 23 is divided by 5, so 23 meets the requirements of the topic. It is precisely because Hua was diligent and eager to learn since he was a child that Teacher Wang Weike paid more attention to his intelligence. Mr. Wang was deeply impressed by Hua when he was at school.
At the age of 0/8, Mr. Wang Weike became the principal of Jintan County Middle School. President Wang cherishes talents and invites Hua to be an accountant and do daily work at school. Since then, Hua has become busier. Recalling the experience during this period, he said, "In addition to the heavy affairs at school, I have to help my mother manage the affairs of the small shop sooner or later. I can't go home until around 8 o'clock every night. After cleaning up the account of the small shop, you can go to learn math, often late at night. " In other words, even after busy business, Hua never forgot to study mathematics, so his mathematics level is constantly improving.
When Hua 19 years old, by chance, he borrowed a magazine named "Learning Arts" and published the article "The Solution of Algebraic quintic Equation" written by Professor Su Jiaju in the seventh volume of this magazine, which aroused China's strong interest. After reading and thinking, Hua found that there were fundamental mistakes in the article. So he asked President Wang, "Can you write an article criticizing the mistakes in Professor Su's article?"
Hua's question was positively answered by President Wang: "Of course, saints are also wrong, so what can't be criticized!" Dean Wang is the translator of Italian poet Dante's masterpiece Divine Comedy. His words gave China great encouragement. Therefore, Hua wrote an article with strict logic and sufficient argumentation, which was reviewed and revised by Dean Wang and sent to Shanghai Science magazine. The article was published in 1930. As soon as the article was published, it attracted the attention of many people at that time.
At that time, Professor Xiong Qinglai, head of the Department of Mathematics at Tsinghua University, saw this article. Moreover, I was even more shocked to learn that the author of this article was a junior high school boy in Jintan County with only a junior high school diploma. Seeing Hua's talent, he immediately wrote to Jintan Middle School and invited Hua to work in Tsinghua University.
After receiving the letter, Hua thought twice: on the one hand, he remembered that before this, President Wang had asked him to teach a cram school in Jintan county junior high school, and because someone complained that President Wang had appointed an unqualified teacher (how could a junior high school graduate be qualified to teach junior high school), President Wang had to resign as president, and he no longer taught; On the other hand, because of his poor family, he even had difficulty traveling to Beijing, so he wrote back and politely declined Professor Xiong's invitation. After Professor Xiong received Hua's reply, the thirsty Bole wrote to urge him. The letter said: If you don't come, I will visit you in Jintan myself.
Hua once again received a letter from Professor Xiong, from which he learned the sincerity and sincerity of his invitation. He felt that he had really failed Professor Xiong's kindness, so he had to borrow money from his father and was invited to Tsinghua. In Tsinghua University, Hua became a teaching assistant. The main responsibilities are to manage books in the Department of Mathematics, send and receive official documents, collect stationery and draw charts. So that he can use his spare time to read books and listen to lectures. Under the arrangement and guidance of Professor Xiong, Hua made rapid progress in his studies, studied hard and often taught himself late into the night. It took him only one and a half years to complete the college course and four months to teach himself English, which can reach the level of reading English mathematics literature. In addition, he also taught himself German, especially after listening to the postgraduate courses, his mathematics literacy has been greatly improved and he has made new achievements.
