Hua Luogeng's mathematical story
Hua Luogeng is listed as one of the 88 great mathematicians in the Chicago Museum of Science and Technology. The following is Hua Luogeng's mathematical story collected by Inspirational.com for your reference.
A short story about mathematician Hua Luogeng, physically disabled and determined
When Hua Luogeng was nineteen years old, he contracted a terrible typhoid fever. This serious illness almost ruined his life. He was ill for half a year from the 24th of the twelfth lunar month. Since then, his left leg has been disabled due to illness, so he has to draw a big circle on his left leg and take a small step on his right leg. He once humorously called this strange and laborious step. Motion of circle and tangent? .
In the face of adversity, he stubbornly fought against fate, and vowed: I want to use a sound mind to replace my unhealthy legs! ? After several years of self-study, Hua Luogeng began to contribute articles in magazines. At first, his articles were constantly rejected. The reason was that the problems he wrote had been proved by a foreign expert. This actually increased Hua Luogeng's confidence, because these problems were all studied by himself and he had never seen other people's methods to solve them.
In 193, Hua Luogeng published a paper "The Algebra of Su Jiaju" in Science magazine. This young man should invite him to Tsinghua! ? At this time, Hua Luogeng was only 21 years old. He finally left the grocery store? Darkroom , came to Tsinghua University in Beijing.
? A short story about mathematician Hua Luogeng
In 1936, at the age of 26, Hua Luogeng was sent by Tsinghua to study in Britain, where he was the most famous. The chief professor of mathematics at Cambridge University, Mr. Hardetor, told Hua Luogeng that he could get his doctorate in just one year. It took him a year to concentrate on a problem, but Hua Luogeng said? I came to Cambridge to study, not to get a degree. He gave up his doctorate, studied seven or eight subjects at the same time as a visiting scholar, and wrote 2 papers during his two years in Cambridge. In terms of standards, every paper can get a doctorate. A theory he put forward is called? Fahrenheit theorem? , improved Hardy's conclusion, Hardy said: Great, my work can't be improved if it is written, and my work must be changed this time! ? Hua Luogeng is considered to be? The glory of Cambridge? !
During his two years at Cambridge University, Hua Luogeng was? Hualin problem? He Li problem? Odd Goldbach problem? He has written 18 papers, which have been published in magazines in Britain, the Soviet Union, India, France, Germany and other countries, including the famous paper On the Complete Triangle and Estimation of Gauss. According to his achievements, he has exceeded the requirements of every academician, but he has never formally applied for a degree in Cambridge. The only diploma he has is a junior high school diploma.
? A short story about mathematician Hua Luogeng The genius came to work in Tsinghua out of diligence
, which was an important turning point in Hua Luogeng's life, and his mathematics career really began here.
It took Hua Luogeng only six and a half years to graduate from junior high school and become a university teacher. He later said to his friends: People have more education than I do, so I have to spend twice as much time to remedy my shortcomings, so I have to work more than 12 hours a day to feel at ease. During his four years in Tsinghua University, Hua Luogeng published more than a dozen papers on number theory, and studied English, French and German by himself. By the age of 25, he had become an internationally renowned young scholar. Hua Luogeng was quickly promoted from an assistant to a teaching assistant and a teacher, and was later hired as a researcher by the China Cultural Education Foundation.
Hua Luogeng never believed in genius, and thought: Genius is due to accumulation, and cleverness lies in diligence. He proposed? Old trees are easy to be empty, old people are easy to be loose, and the scientific way is to quit empty and loose. I am willing to be faithful to my life? As a warning to himself, until shortly before his death, he wrote:? Only when you are white will you know that you are dull, and you will work hard for the future. Diligence is a good medicine, and one point of hard work is a point of talent. ;
