Carl. Friedrich? Gauss (1777? 1855) is a famous mathematician and physicist in Germany in the19th century. The following is my story about Gauss. Welcome to reading.
Personal profile
John? Carl. Friedrich? Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss (1April 30, 777-1February 23, 855) was a famous German mathematician, physicist, astronomer and geodetic scientist. Gauss is one of the founders of modern mathematics and is regarded as one of the most important mathematicians in history. The prince of mathematics? Known as. Gauss ranks alongside Archimedes and Newton as the three greatest mathematicians in the world. He has achieved great success in his life, in his name? Gauss? The result of naming is 1 10, which is the highest among mathematicians. He made contributions to number theory, algebra, statistics, analysis, differential geometry, geodesy, geophysics, mechanics, electrostatics, astronomy, matrix theory and optics.
Eight-year-old Gauss discovered mathematical theorems.
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. He made some contributions to electromagnetism in physics. Now an electromagnetic unit is named after him. Mathematicians call him? The prince of mathematics? .
At the age of eight, he entered a rural primary school. The math teacher is from the city, and he thinks it is really overqualified to teach a few little lynx to study in the backcountry. However, he is biased: poor children are born idiots, and there is no need to teach these stupid children seriously. If there is an opportunity, they should be punished to add some fun to this boring life.
This day is a depressing day for the math teacher. The students cringed when they saw the teacher's depressed face, knowing that the teacher would arrest these students again today.
? You calculated the sum of 1 plus 2 and 3 to 100 for me today. Whoever can't figure it out will be punished for not going home for lunch. The teacher said this, picked up a novel, sat in a chair and read it without saying a word.
The children in the classroom picked up the slate and began to calculate: 1 plus 2 equals 3, 3 plus 3 equals 6, and 6 plus 4 equals 10? Some children add up to a number and then erase the slate. After adding up, the numbers are getting bigger and bigger, which is difficult to calculate. Some children have flushed faces, and some have sweaty palms and foreheads.
Less than half an hour later, Little Goss picked up the slate and stepped forward. Teacher, is this the answer?
Without looking up, the teacher waved his thick hand and said, go, go back! Wrong. ? He thought it impossible to have an answer so soon.
But Gauss stood still and put the slate in front of the teacher. Teacher! I think this answer is correct.
The math teacher wanted to shout, but when he saw the number written on the slate: 5050, he was surprised because he calculated it himself and got the number of 5050. How did this 8-year-old child get this value so quickly?
Gauss explained a method he discovered, which was used by the ancient Greeks and China to calculate the sequence 1+2+3+? +n method. Gauss's discovery made the teacher feel ashamed, and felt that his previous view of arrogance and contempt for poor children was wrong. He began to teach seriously in the future, and often bought some math books from the city for his own study and lent them to Gauss. With his encouragement, Gauss did some important research in mathematics in the future.
The story of Gauss wisdom breaking the center line of the bottle
When Gauss was less than 20 years old, he had made great achievements in many disciplines. For Gauss's successive success, several boys in the neighborhood were unconvinced and determined to embarrass him.
The boys got together and thought hard and finally came up with a difficult problem. They tied a silver coin with a thin cotton thread, then found a thin glass bottle, hung the silver coin in the bottle, stuffed the bottle with a cork, and tied the other end of the cotton thread to the cork. When they were ready, they took the bottle carefully, stopped Gauss in the street and said in a provocative tone. You wander around with a book and a magnifying glass all day. You are so talented. Can you break the cotton thread in the bottle without breaking the cork?
Gauss was angry at their boring provocation and didn't want to pay attention to them, but he looked at the bottle and thought the problem was really interesting, so he seriously thought about the solution. The bustling streets are lined with shops and people are like rivers. When the young man was proud that he could beat Gauss, there were more and more people on the street. Everyone is very interested and trying to find a way, but to no avail, except shaking their heads and laughing at themselves, they have to look forward to Gauss. Gauss frowned and said nothing. Boys are more proud. They were surprised at their excellent questions. Some people even make things difficult for them: Anyway, your intelligence is limited and you really can't solve it. Just take so many honorary certificates you got to the street and burn them in public. Don't show them off in the future. ?
Goss was really annoyed, but he restrained himself from being influenced by the noise of onlookers and thought calmly.
He inadvertently looked at the bright sunshine, then at the bottle, and suddenly cried happily: I have an idea. ? With that, he took out a magnifying glass from his pocket and shone it on the cotton thread in the bottle for a minute or two ... People curiously opened their eyes and followed the coin? Bang? It fell to the bottom of the bottle with a bang and everyone found that the cotton thread was burnt.
Gauss said loudly: I focused the sunlight, and let this hot focus shine on the cotton thread through the bottle, so that the cotton thread burned out. Sunshine helped me. ?
People couldn't help but give a cheer, and the boys also praised it again and again.
