Russell said, "Mathematics is symbol plus logic."

Pythagoras said, "Numbers dominate the universe."

Halmos said, "Mathematics is a unique art."

Misra said: "Mathematics is the highest achievement of human thinking."

Bacon (English philosopher) said, "Mathematics is the key to science."

Bourbaki School (a French mathematical research group) holds that "mathematics is a theory to study abstract structures".

Hegel said: "Mathematics is the symbol that God describes nature."

Oscar Wilde (president of the American Mathematical Society) said: "Mathematics is a culture that will continue to evolve."

Plato said, "Mathematics is the highest form of all knowledge."

Court said: "Mathematics is the brightest pearl in the crown of human wisdom."

The second is about the significance of mathematics.

Mathematics, as an expression of human thinking, embodies people's aggressive will, meticulous logical reasoning and pursuit of perfection. Its basic elements are: logic and intuition, analysis and reasoning, individuality and individuality. Although different traditional schools can emphasize different aspects, it is the interaction of these opposing forces and their comprehensive efforts that constitute the vitality, availability and lofty value of mathematical science.

Third, write a short story about mathematics.

A famous mathematical figure-Cantor's short story

Because the study of infinity often leads to some logical but absurd results (called "paradox"), many great mathematicians are afraid of falling into it and adopt an evasive attitude. During the period of 1874- 1876, Cantor, a young German mathematician less than 30 years old, declared war on the mysterious infinity. With hard sweat, he successfully proved that points on a straight line can correspond to points on a plane one by one, and can also correspond to points in space one by one. In this way, it seems that there are as many points on the 1 cm long line segment as there are points in the Pacific Ocean and the whole earth. In the following years, Cantor published a series of articles about this kind of "infinite set" and drew many amazing conclusions through strict proof. Cantor's creative work has formed a sharp conflict with the traditional mathematical concept, which has been opposed, attacked and even abused by some people. Some people say that Cantor's set theory is a kind of "disease", Cantor's concept is "fog in fog", and even Cantor is a "madman". Great mental pressure from the authority of mathematics finally destroyed Cantor, making him exhausted, suffering from schizophrenia and being sent to a mental hospital.

True gold is not afraid of fire, and Cantor's thought finally shines. At the first international congress of mathematicians held in 1897, his achievements were recognized, and Russell, a great philosopher and mathematician, praised Cantor's work as "probably the greatest work that can be boasted in this era." But at this time, Cantor was still in a trance, unable to get comfort and joy from people's reverence. 1918 65438+1October 6th, Cantor died in a mental hospital.

Finally, you can write some jokes about math.

When Xiao Ming came back, his mother asked him how he did in the elementary school math exam. Xiao Ming said: "I can basically do it, but I can't do a problem of 3 times 7." Finally, the bell rang, so I wrote 18 regardless of the willy-nilly. "
