Reflections after reading "From One to Infinity"

This is the first time I saw the book "From One to Infinity". Because of the interesting title, I flipped through it with great interest. , just stay away from it—intuition is a profound and boring academic book. By chance, I picked up this book again. Attracted by the ridiculous aristocratic story, I read it with gusto. Although I didn’t understand much of the content, the ubiquitous thinking in the book still shocked me and triggered some reflections of my own.

"From One to Infinity" is a representative popular science work by the famous American physicist and astronomer George Gamow. This book is divided into four parts, namely: playing digital games, space, time and Einstein, the microscopic world, and the macroscopic world, including the most cutting-edge and current aspects of mathematics, physics, biology, astronomy, etc. Knowledge that is also timeless. In this excellent popular science work, George Gamow not only accurately and clearly describes scientific truths and the connections between truths in popular language and simple and interesting examples, but also starts with the introductory "one" in a relaxed and optimistic tone. , leading people to strive towards the "infinity" of depth, to appreciate the "infinity" of science, the "infinite" magnificence of the world, and the "infiniteness" of human methods and potential, and the brilliance of the humanistic spirit shines everywhere.

This part of "Big Numbers" fascinates me the most. In a series of real stories, the author constantly asks, thinks, and explains "how big is a number?" "what is infinity?" and "can infinite numbers be compared?" It suddenly makes people realize: It turns out that these are not ridiculous questions! It turns out that these problems can be analyzed and solved in this way! When I saw the one-to-one correspondence method used to compare the sizes of infinite numbers, I remembered the "one-to-one correspondence" in the first grade of primary school mathematics. The teachers have consciously guided students to experience this method of comparing the sizes of numbers, and In the process of abstracting this thinking method, the position still needs to be higher, more guidance should be provided, and students' ideas should be broadened, so that students can begin to know, understand, and apply this method through experience, questioning, and exploration. .

This kind of questioning and thinking in the section "Prime Numbers and Goldbach's Conjecture", in addition to a clearer explanation of knowledge, also shows more of a humanistic atmosphere: a happy and persistent attitude; sometimes a step-by-step approach. , methods that sometimes find new ways; rigorous and meticulous style and the concept of "the world is big but I am still small".

After reading this, I thought of myself. In our daily work and life, we should also adopt a happy and persistent attitude, start from the most basic small things, look at, think, and act from different angles when facing problems, abandon arrogance, and be unsatisfied with the status quo and stand still. If we have the courage to ask and think, dare to break the rules, and try in a larger space, we will also have our own "infinite" potential!

Hope it will be adopted
