Information about mathematics

Famous mathematician's words: Gauss, the prince of mathematics, is considered as one of the greatest mathematicians in history. Gauss invented the principle of least squares. Gauss's research on number theory was summarized in Arithmetic Research (180 1), which laid the foundation of modern number theory. It is not only an epoch-making work in number theory, but also one of the rare classic works in the history of mathematics. Gauss's important contribution to algebra is to prove the basic theorem of algebra, and his existence proof opens up a new way of mathematical research. Gauss got the principle of non-Euclidean geometry around 18 16. He also deeply studied the complex variable function, established some basic concepts and discovered the famous Cauchy integral theorem. He also discovered the double periodicity of elliptic functions, but these works were not published before his death. 1828, Gauss published "General Theory of Surfaces", which comprehensively and systematically expounded the differential geometry of spatial surfaces and put forward the theory of intrinsic surfaces. Gaussian surface theory was later developed by Riemann. Gauss published 155 papers in his life. He is very strict with his studies and only publishes what he thinks is mature. His works include the concept of geomagnetism and the law of universal gravitation. Repulsion is inversely proportional to the square of distance.

Chen Jingrun: Chen Jingrun has made many great achievements in the research field of analytic number theory, and won the first prize of National Natural Science Award, Heli Fund Award, China Mathematics Award and many other awards. His achievements in studying Goldbach conjecture and other number theory problems are still far ahead in the world, and he is called the first person of Goldbach conjecture. Andre Vey, a world-class mathematician and American scholar, once praised him: "Every job in Chen Jingrun seems to be walking on the top of the Himalayas."

And Archimedes Pythagoras, the ancestors of China followed.

Mathematic celebrity joke: Physicists and engineers got lost in the Grand Canyon by hot air balloon.

They shouted for help: "Hello! Where are we? "

After about 15 minutes, they heard the response echoing in the valley: "Hey! You are in a hot air balloon! "

The physicist said, "That guy must be a mathematician."

The engineer wants to know, "Why?"

The physicist said, "Because it took him a long time to give a completely correct answer, but it was useless."

This is a classic. I have seen it in many magazines.

One day, the mathematician felt that he had had enough of mathematics and ran to the fire brigade to announce that he wanted to be a fireman.

The fire chief said, "You look good, but I have to give you a test first."

The fire chief took the mathematician to the backyard alley of the fire brigade. There is a warehouse, a fire hydrant and a hose in the alley. The fire chief asked, "Suppose the warehouse was on fire, what would you do?"

The mathematician replied, "I connected the fire hydrant to the water pipe, opened the water pipe and put out the fire."

The fire chief said, "Exactly! Last question: suppose you walk into an alley and the warehouse is not on fire, what would you do? "

The mathematician pondered for a long time in doubt and finally replied, "I will set fire to the warehouse."

The fire chief shouted, "What? That's terrible! Why did you set fire to the warehouse? "

The mathematician replied, "In this way, I will simplify the problem into a problem that I have solved."

This is ok, as our teacher said. )

I think you can also write about the origin of mathematics: mathematics is the oldest subject, and its origin can be traced back to more than 10 thousand years ago. However, very little information has been preserved before 1000. So far, only in ancient Egypt and Babylon have systematic mathematical documents been found.

As early as 65,438+05,000 years ago, human beings have been able to describe the images of people and animals quite realistically. This is the earliest evidence of the germination of graphic consciousness. Later, it gradually began to pursue circles and straight lines, thus becoming the earliest prototype of mathematical graphics. In daily life and production practice, counting consciousness and counting system have gradually emerged. Humans have explored a variety of counting methods, including knotting with ropes at first, counting with stones, and further expressing language points with symbols, and gradually developing into the numbers we use today. When graphic consciousness and counting consciousness develop to a certain extent, measurement consciousness appears.

This series of development and evolution has gradually formed a complete mathematical discipline that we are familiar with today, including arithmetic, geometry, algebra, trigonometry, calculus, statistics and probability (in fact, it was originally for people to study gambling) ... and so on, and it is still developing.

I also want to check these materials myself, hoping to help you, some places have been simplified! ! ! Maybe it's still a little too much! ! You are in the truth! ! Come on, do it! !
