Once, he went out to play with his neighbor's children, and they walked; Suddenly I saw an abandoned grave by the roadside, and there were many stone men and horses beside the grave. This immediately aroused Hua's curiosity, and he really wanted to find out. So he said to his neighbor's children, "There may be something interesting there. Shall we go and see? "
The neighbor's child replied, "ok, but only for a while." I'm a little scared. "
Bold Hua said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, there are no ghosts in the world." With that, he ran to the grave first.
The two children studied the stone man and the horse carefully before they came to the grave. They groped around and found it interesting. Thinking Hua suddenly asked the neighbor's children, "How heavy are these stone men and horses?"
The neighbor's child looked at him puzzled and said, "How should I know? How can you ask such a stupid question? No wonder people call you' Luo Idiot'. "
Hua said disappointedly, "Can you think of a way to calculate?"
The children in the neighborhood laughed and said, "Wait till you become a mathematician in the future!" ! But if you can become a mathematician, I'm afraid you will work at sunrise and rest at sunset. "
Despite the ridicule of the children next door, Hua firmly said, "I will definitely find a way in the future."
Of course, calculating the weight of these stone men and horses is not a problem for Hua, who later became a mathematician.
There is a temple on Dongqinglongshan Mountain in Jintan County, and a temple fair is held every year. Young Hua is a person who likes to join in the fun, and he is indispensable in any lively place. One year, Hua also rushed to the temple fair with adults. A vivid scene attracted him. I saw a burly horse coming from Qinglong Mountain to the city, and immediately sat on a "Bodhisattva" covered with feathers and robes. Everywhere I went, people on the road bowed their heads and were very pious. After the worship, they put money in a small pot in front of the "Bodhisattva" so as to ask God for a sign, a doctor and a child.
Hua was amused, but he didn't kneel down or worship the Bodhisattva himself. The adults standing by were very angry and scolded:
"Son, why don't you worship? This bodhisattva is amazing. "
"Is the Bodhisattva really that smart?" Hua asked.
One person said, "Of course, don't offend the immortals at a young age, or you will be in trouble."
"Is the Bodhisattva really omnipotent?" This question haunts China. He doesn't believe that a clay bodhisattva can really help the poor.
The temple fair broke up and all the spectators went home. However, Hua is far behind the "Bodhisattva". Seeing the "Bodhisattva" entering the Qinglong Mountain Temple, Xiaohua Luo Geng rushed over and looked out through the crack of the door. I saw the Bodhisattva move. He got off the horse, took off his flowered clothes, and conveniently wiped the makeup off his face. Hua Geng outside the door was shocked. It turned out that the "Bodhisattva" worshipped by the people was actually dressed up by a villager.
Hua finally solved the mystery in his heart. He told everyone in the village about cheating the Bodhisattva, and people finally realized. From then on, people looked at the child with new eyes, and no one called him "Luo nerd" anymore. It is the spirit of China to ask what comes next.
Second, Chen Jingrun.
Chen Jingrun, a famous mathematician, made great contributions to overcoming Goldbach's conjecture and founded the famous "Chen Theorem", so many people affectionately called him "the prince of mathematics". But who would have thought that his achievement originated from a story?
1937, diligent Chen Jingrun was admitted to Huaying College in Fuzhou. At this time, during the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Professor Shen Yuan, director of the Department of Aeronautical Engineering in Tsinghua University, returned to Fujian to attend the funeral, unwilling to stay in his hometown because of the war. Several universities got the news and wanted to invite Professor Shen to give lectures. He declined the invitation. As he is an alumnus of Huaying, he came to this middle school to teach mathematics to his classmates in order to report to his alma mater.
One day, Teacher Shen Yuan told us a story in math class: "A Frenchman discovered an interesting phenomenon 200 years ago: 6=3+3, 8=5+3, 10=5+5, 12=5+7, 28= 5+23. Every even number greater than 4 can be expressed as the sum of two odd numbers. Because this conclusion has not been proved, it is still a guess. Euler said: Although I can't prove it, I am sure this conclusion is correct.
It is like a beautiful light ring, shining with dazzling brilliance in front of us not far away. ..... "Chen Jingrun stare eyes, absorbed.
From then on, Chen Jingrun became interested in this wonderful question. In his spare time, he likes going to the library. He not only read the counseling books in middle schools, but also eagerly read the textbooks of mathematics and physics courses in these universities. Therefore, he got the nickname "bookworm".
Interest is the first teacher. It is such a mathematical story that aroused Chen Jingrun's interest and his diligence and made him a great mathematician.
Third, the prince of mathematics "Gauss"
At the age of seven, little Gauss went to primary school. The teacher's name is Butner, and he is a famous local mathematician. This young teacher from the city always thinks that children in the countryside are idiots and their talents can't be displayed. In a math class in grade three, Butner lost his temper with the children again, and then wrote a long list of formulas on the blackboard: 81297+81495+81693+…+100701+69.
"wow! How many figures are there in total? How to calculate? " The more nervous the students are, the more they can't figure out how to calculate.
Butner is very proud. He knew that the last number was 100, which was larger than the previous number 198. Even if these naughty students do their calculations obediently all morning, they won't work out the results.
Unexpectedly, in a short time, Gao Xiaosi came over with a small slate with the answer written on it and said, "Teacher, I have finished the calculation." Without looking up, Butner said angrily, "Go, don't be ridiculous. Anyone who wants to scribble numbers must be careful! " Say that finish, waved a hammer fist.
But little gauss insisted on not leaving and said, "teacher, I'm not kidding." And gently put the small slate on the platform. Butner took one look and was too surprised to speak. Unexpectedly, this 10-year-old child worked out the correct answer so quickly.
It turned out that little Gauss did not add one by one like other children, but observed carefully, used his head and found the law. He found that the sum of two numbers at the beginning and the end of a figure is the sum of 182 196,50, and182196 can be quickly calculated by multiplication.
Little Gauss's incredible mathematical talent made Butner admire and feel guilty. From then on, he never looked down on children from poor families. He bought many math books for little Gauss and asked his young assistant Battier to help little Gauss learn math.
