1. The story of Salles

Salles was the first world-famous mathematician in ancient Greece. He was originally a shrewd businessman. After accumulating considerable wealth by selling olive oil, Salles concentrated on scientific research and travel. He is diligent, studious and courageous to explore. His hometown is not too far from Egypt, so he often travels to Egypt. When he traveled to Egypt, he used an ingenious method to calculate the height of the pyramid, which made the ancient Egyptian King Amesses envious. 2. The story of Archimedes. Archimedes put the crown and the real crown that were identical to it into a basin of water. He measured the water that overflowed and found that the crown was lighter than the real crown, indicating that it was mixed with metal. 3. The Story of Goldbach Goldbach was a German mathematician who was born in 1690. He was elected as an academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Petersburg from 1725. In Petersburg, Goldbach met the great mathematician Euler, and the two exchanged letters for more than 30 years. He had a famous conjecture, which he proposed in his correspondence with Euler. This has become a popular story in the history of mathematics. 4. The Story of Jacob Bernoulli Mathematician Jacob Bernoulli studied spirals. After his death, a logarithmic spiral was engraved on his tombstone. At the same time, the inscription also read: "Although I have changed , but it’s the same as before.” This is a pun that both captures the nature of the spiral and symbolizes his love of mathematics. 5. Euler’s story Euler was kicked out of school when he was a child because he offended his teacher by asking him how many stars there were. He offended his teacher and ended up becoming a shepherd boy. But Euler still loved learning, and little Euler became the youngest college student in this university. 6. Rudolf’s Story Rudolf, a 16th-century German mathematician, spent his whole life calculating pi to 35 decimal places. Later generations called it Rudolf’s number. After his death, others engraved this number on his tombstone. Above. The Swiss mathematician Jacques Bernoulli studied spirals (known as the line of life) during his lifetime. After his death, a logarithmic spiral was engraved on his tombstone, and the inscription also read: " Although I have changed, I am still the same as before." This is a pun that not only depicts the nature of the spiral but also symbolizes his love for mathematics. 7. The Story of Hua Luogeng Hua Luogeng paid special attention to integrating theory with practice and traveled to more than 20 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions to mobilize the masses to apply optimization methods to agricultural production. A reporter asked him in an interview: "What is your greatest wish?" He answered without thinking: "Work until the last day." He did work hard for science on the last day and fulfilled his promise. 8. Mathematics Chen Jingrun's short story Mathematician Chen Jingrun was walking while thinking about the problem when he bumped into a tree On the tree trunk, he said without raising his head: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He continued to think. 9. Cantor’s Story For thousands of years, scientists have been exposed to infinity but have been unable to grasp and understand it. This is indeed a sharp challenge to mankind. With his unique thinking, rich imagination, and novel methods, Cantor drew a masterpiece of human wisdom-set theory and theory of transfinite numbers, which made the entire mathematical world and even the philosophical world at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries Shocked. It is no exaggeration to say that "the revolution about infinity in mathematics was almost completed by him alone." 10. Conway's story Conway had a strong interest in mathematics when he was young: when he was four years old, his mother discovered He recited the power of two; when he was eleven years old, when he was interviewed for entering middle school and was asked what he wanted to do when he grew up, he replied that he wanted to be a mathematician at Cambridge. Conway later studied mathematics at Cambridge University.
