Since ancient times, there have been many famous mathematicians, so here are the celebrity stories of my famous mathematicians. Welcome to read!

Su health classic.

Professor Su, a famous old mathematician in the international mathematics field, 100 years old, is still full of energy and clear thinking.

When Su Lao was ninety years old, he wrote a book about how energetic he was to take a graduate student and work for about ten hours every day! Then, when someone asks him how to live a long and healthy life, he always answers with a smile: "I don't know anything about keeping in good health, but I always live a regular life and pay attention to physical exercise ..."

Su Lao's living habits are roughly like this:

Get up at five o'clock in the morning, go to bed at eleven o'clock in the evening, sleep for six hours every night and take a nap for one hour during the day. After getting up in the morning, do aerobic exercise in the front yard for about a quarter of an hour. Then study for an hour and have breakfast. After work in the afternoon, stick to walking for two to three kilometers-take the stairs in rainy days. Every day for decades.

Su is from Pingyang, Zhejiang. He was born in a peasant family. Because of his poor family, he grew up without food and clothing. When she was a teenager, Sue was thin and small, and she was in poor health. After graduating from primary school, I studied in middle school for two years. At the age of seventeen, I traveled to Japan and entered Imperial University to specialize in mathematics. Sue has lived abroad for twelve years. During this period, he gradually fell in love with sports and had a wide range of interests. He can play a few beautiful games in rowing, skating, tennis, cycling and driving motorcycles. At that time, Sue was one of the main players of Imperial University tennis team and rowing team.

For decades, Sue has been in good health due to her insistence on physical exercise. Even when I was in my eighties and went up five or six flights of stairs, I was still not very breathless, and my teeth in my mouth were similar to those in my prime. At the age of 90, in summer and autumn, he climbed Huangshan Mountain in Anhui Province quite easily to visit and recuperate. The strength of the road is enviable and admirable.

People always hope that they can live a long and healthy life. But how to achieve this goal? Su Lao believes that in addition to the above physical exercise, mental health care is also very important. Su Lao is cheerful and humorous. Whether talking to someone or giving a report, you can often hear his laughter. He often said, "People who accumulate less troubles can live a long and healthy life." He also said: to live, we must be open-minded, open-minded, open-minded, open-minded. Furthermore, people should move around more, especially the elderly, and find more things to do. If you just eat and don't cook all day, or blindly covet comfort and enjoyment, it will never be good for your health. 1985, Sue took a back seat. Relatively speaking, there is more time than before. He immediately realized that people are easy to be lazy when they are idle, and mental emptiness is not good for their health. So he took the initiative to find something to do-he held three training courses for middle school teachers (mathematics) in succession.

As for diet, Su Lao's opinion is that if you like to eat, you should eat as little as possible, and if you don't like to eat, you should eat more. You can drink some wine, but don't drink too much.

Su Lao's wife, Mizi Matsumoto, is from Sendai, Japan. She comes from a scholarly family and is good at tea ceremony. Therefore, Su Lao has the habit of drinking tea, and especially likes to drink green tea. Su Lao said: Tea is the most commonly used drink in China. For the elderly, the advantages of drinking tea outweigh the disadvantages, which can not only quench thirst, but also promote diuresis and digestion. It can also remove greasy and make the mouth feel fresh and comfortable. At the same time, tea also has the effect of resisting Shigella dysenteriae.

After Su Lao was seventy years old, he stopped strenuous exercise, but he still insisted on the above-mentioned exercise and the eighteen methods of walking after work before he was 95 years old. Half an hour before going to bed every night, or listening to music, or reading Tang poetry, relax, and then quickly enter the dream.

The Great Mathematical Genius-Gauss

Gauss (1777 ~ 1855) is a German mathematician, physicist and astronomer, and a member of the Royal Society.

Gauss is the son of a farmer. When he was young, he showed extraordinary talent in mathematics. 3 years old can correct the mistakes in father's calculation; 10 years old, independently found the sum formula of arithmetic sequence; The binomial theorem was discovered in 1 1 year.

Young Gauss's intelligence and early wisdom were favored and funded by the prestigious Duke of Brick, enabling him to continue his studies. 19-year-old Gauss invented the method of making regular 17 polygons with only compasses and rulers, and solved the geometric problems that have been unresolved for two thousand years.

180 1 published "Arithmetic Research", and expounded some problems of number theory and higher algebra. He has made great contributions to hypergeometric series, complex variable function, statistical mathematics and elliptic function theory.

At the same time, as a physicist, he cooperated with wilhelm weber to study electromagnetism and invented the electrode. In order to carry out experiments, Gauss also invented the double-wire magnetometer, which is a very practical achievement of his research on electromagnetism.

At the age of 30, Gauss served as the director of the observatory of a famous German university, and worked in the observatory until his death. He also likes literature and linguistics all his life and knows more than a dozen foreign languages. In his life, he published 323 works, put forward 404 scientific ideas and completed four important inventions.

After Gauss died, a statue of him was erected in the city where he was born. To commemorate his discovery of the method of making 17 polygon, the base of the statue was modified to 17 polygon. It is universally acknowledged that he is a mathematician on par with Newton, Archimedes and Euler.

China's great mathematician-Hua.

Hua (1910 ~1985), a mathematician and educator in China, is an academician of China Academy of Sciences and a native of Jintan, Jiangsu.

Hua's father is a small boss who runs a grocery store. Due to the bleak business and deteriorating family circumstances, Hua dropped out of school and became a bookkeeper in a grocery store. In the tedious and monotonous work, he did not give up his greatest hobby-mathematical research.

Just as he was trying to teach himself, disaster fell from the sky-he contracted terrible typhoid fever and was sentenced to death by the doctor. However, he miraculously survived, only his left leg was permanently disabled. It is this sentence that he often talks about: "The so-called genius depends on unremitting efforts."

With unremitting efforts and hard self-study, this mathematician without a junior college diploma touched the domestic mathematics circle with a paper "The reason why Su Jiaju's algebraic quintic equation can't be solved" in 1930. Later, he was recommended by Professor Xiong Qinglai to be a teaching assistant in the Department of Mathematics of Tsinghua University. Here, under the guidance of Xiong Qinglai and Yang Wuzhi, he made great progress academically and gradually established his position in the field of mathematics.

1948 was invited by an American university to teach. After the founding of New China, he resolutely gave up his excellent working and living conditions and returned to China with his wife and children. He became a professor in the Department of Mathematics of Tsinghua University and later served as the director of the Institute of Mathematics of China Academy of Sciences. He attached great importance to and advocated the application of mathematical theory to production practice, and personally organized and popularized "optimization method" and "overall planning method", which showed great power in socialist modernization.

He worked hard all his life and published more than 200 academic papers and monographs 10. As a mathematics educator, he trained a number of outstanding mathematicians such as Chen Jingrun, Wang Yuan and Lu Qikeng, and formed the China School of Mathematics, some of whom have become world-class mathematicians.

1985 June 2002 12, Hua died of a sudden myocardial infarction while giving lectures in Japan at the age of 75. With "the greatest hope is to work until the last moment of life", Hua, who inspires himself all his life, will always live in the hearts of the people.

Goldbach conjecture and Chen Jingrun

Chen Jingrun (1933 ~1966) is a mathematician from China and an academician of China Academy of Sciences. Fujian Minhou people.

Chen Jingrun was born in a small clerical family, ranking third with his brothers and sisters. Because there are many children at home, my father's income is meager, and family life is very tight. So Chen Jingrun seems to be a burden to his parents from birth, a person who thinks he is unwelcome.

After school, I was often bullied because I was thin and weak. This special life situation has shaped him into an extremely introverted and inarticulate person, and his fascination with mathematics has made him develop the habit of thinking alone and building a car behind closed doors, so he is considered a "freak" by others.

Chen Jingrun chose to study mathematics all his life, which was related to Professor Shen Yuan. There, Chen Jingrun first learned about Goldbach's conjecture, that is, from there, Chen Jingrun made up his mind to take off the jewel in the crown of mathematics from the first moment.

1953, he graduated from Xiamen University and stayed in the library to work, but he never forgot Goldbach's conjecture. He sent his math paper to Professor Hua, who appreciated his talent and transferred him to the Institute of Mathematics of China Academy of Sciences as an intern researcher. From then on, under the guidance of Hua, he was lucky enough to enter Goldbach's conjecture. 1966 In May, a dazzling new star flashed over the global mathematics world-Chen Jingrun announced that he had proved "1+2" in Goldbach's conjecture; 1972 February, completed the modification of "1+2" certificate.

Incredibly, foreign mathematicians use large high-speed computers to prove "1+3", while Chen Jingrun relies entirely on paper, pens and skulls. If this is puzzling, then the six sacks of manuscript paper he used to simplify the proof of "1+2" is enough to explain the problem. 1973, he published the famous "Chen Theorem", which is considered as the glorious culmination of the screening method.

For Chen Jingrun's achievements, a famous mathematician abroad once marveled and was deeply moved: he moved mountains and poured seas!

Euler, a mathematician, was expelled for asking "Star" in elementary school.

Euler is a famous mathematician in the history of mathematics. He has made outstanding achievements in several branches of mathematics, such as number theory, geometry, astronomical mathematics and calculus. However, this great mathematician was not liked by teachers at all when he was a child. He is a student expelled from school.

Things are caused by stars. At that time, little Euler was studying in a missionary school. Once, he asked the teacher how many stars there were in the sky. The teacher is a believer in theology. He doesn't know how many stars there are in the sky, and the Bible doesn't answer. In fact, there are countless stars in the sky, which are infinite. There are thousands of stars visible to the naked eye. Without pretending to understand, the teacher replied to Euler, "It doesn't matter how many stars there are in the sky, as long as you know that the stars in the sky are inlaid by God."

Euler felt very strange: "The sky is so big and so high, and there is no escalator on the ground. How did God embed the stars on the screen one by one? " God himself put them in the sky one by one. Why did he forget the number of stars? Could God be too careless? "

He asked the teacher a question in his heart, and the teacher was confused again, blushed and didn't know how to answer. A sudden anger rose in the teacher's heart, not only because a child who just went to school asked the teacher such a question, so that the teacher could not step down, but more importantly, the teacher regarded God above everything else. Little Euler blames God for not remembering the number of stars. The implication is that he doubts almighty god. In the teacher's view, this is a serious problem.

In Euler's time, there was absolutely no doubt about God. People can only be slaves of ideas, and they are absolutely not allowed to think freely. Little Euler didn't "keep in line" with the church and God, so the teacher told him to leave school and go home. However, in little Euler's mind, the sacred aura of God disappeared. God is a loser, he thought. Why can't he even remember the stars in the sky? He thought, God is a dictator, and even asking questions has become a crime. He thinks that God may be a guy made up by others and does not exist at all.

After returning home, he helped his father herd sheep and became a shepherd boy. He read a book while herding sheep. Among the books he read, there are many math books.

Dad's flock increased gradually, reaching 100. The original sheepfold was a little small, so my father decided to build a new sheepfold. He measured a rectangular piece of land with a ruler, 40 meters long and 15 meters wide. He calculated that the area is exactly 600 square meters, with an average of 6 square meters per sheep. When he was ready to start construction, he found that his materials were only enough for the fence of 100 meters, which was not enough at all. If you want to enclose a sheepfold with a length of 40m and a width of 15m, its circumference is110m (15+15+40+40 =1/kloc-0). If we want to build it according to the original plan, my father feels very embarrassed. If the area is reduced, the area of each sheep is less than 6 square meters.

Little Euler told his father that there was no need to shrink the sheepfold and not to worry that the territory of each sheep would be smaller than originally planned. He has an idea. Father didn't believe that little Euler would have a way, so he ignored him. Little Euler was in a hurry and said loudly, only moving a little stake in the sheepfold.

Father shook his head and thought, "How can there be such a cheap thing in the world?" However, little Euler insisted that he would be able to kill two birds with one stone. The father finally agreed to let his son try.

Little Euler saw his father agree, stood up and ran to the sheepfold to get ready to start work. He shortened the original side length of 40 meters to 25 meters centered on the stake. The father was anxious and said, "How can that be done? Then how to do it? This sheepfold is too small, too small. " Little Euler didn't answer, so he ran to the other side and extended the original side length of15m, and increased it by10m to 25m. In this way, the original planned sheepfold has become a square with a side length of 25 meters. Then, little Euler confidently said to his father, "Now, the fence is enough and the area is enough."

Father built a fence according to the sheepfold designed by little Euler. 100 meter fence is really enough, no more, no less, all used up. The area is enough, a little bigger. Father felt very happy. Children are smarter than themselves, they really use their brains, and they will definitely have a bright future.

Father thinks it's a pity to let such a clever child herd sheep. Later, he tried to let little Euler know the great mathematician Bernoulli. On the recommendation of mathematicians, little Euler became a college student in university of basel on 1720. This year, little Euler 13 was the youngest student in this university.
