Gauss. I remember hearing a story: Gauss was a second-grade student, and one day his math teacher wanted to complete it because he had already dealt with most of the matter, so he planned to give the students a math problem to practice
1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10=?, Because the addition has just been taught, so the teacher thinks that this problem, the student must have to calculate it for a long time, it is possible to calculate it, and you can use this time to deal with unfinished things, but in a blink of an eye, Gauss has stopped the pen, sitting there idlely, the teacher saw a very angry reprimand Gauss, but Gauss said that he had calculated the answer, that is, 55, the teacher listened to a jump, and asked Gauss how to calculate it, Gauss replied, I just found that the sum of 1 and 10 is The sum of 9 is also the sum of 8 and 7 and the sum of 6 is still 11, and 11 + 11 + 11 + 11 + 11 + 11 = 55, that's how I calculated. When Gauss grew up, he became a great mathematician.
When Gauss was young, he was able to turn difficult problems into simple, of course, qualification is a big factor, but he knows how to observe, seek rules, and simplify difficulties, which is worthy of our learning and imitation.
Self-taught mathematician Hua Luogeng was very talented in mathematics when he was a child, but his family suffered an accident, so he had to stop school to look after the store and became a mathematician ...... by self-study

In 1785, at the age of 8, Gauss was in the first grade in an elementary school in rural Germany.
One day, the teacher came up with an arithmetic problem. He said, "Do the math, 1 plus 2 plus 3, all the way up to 100 is what is the amount?"
Whoever can't figure it out is not allowed to go home for dinner. In less than a minute, little Gauss stood up, holding the small slate in his hand, and said, "Teacher, I have figured it out."
Before Gauss could finish speaking, the teacher said impatiently, "No! Recount! ”
Little Gauss quickly checked it and said loudly, "Teacher, that's right! As he spoke, he stepped out of his seat and stretched the small slate in front of the teacher.
When the teacher saw that it read "5050" on it, he couldn't help but be surprised. He couldn't believe that an 8-year-old child could figure out the correct number in less than a minute for such a complex math problem. You know, it took him more than an hour to calculate this problem correctly.
He suspected that someone else had asked Gauss Jr. to do the math before. Just asked, "How do you calculate?"
Little Gauss said, "Teacher, you see, the sum of the two numbers at the beginning and the end is the same: 1 plus 100 is 101, 2 plus 99 is 101, and 3 plus 98 is also 101
Add the numbers one after the other, there are a total of 50 101, and multiply 101 by 50 to get 5050”
Little Gauss surprised the teacher. Because this is the first time he has known about this algorithm. He looked at little Gauss in surprise, as if he had just met this student.
Soon after, the teacher bought a math book for little Gauss, and recommended Gauss to the education authorities, so that he could get free education. Later, Gauss Jr. became a world-famous mathematician.

Su Buqing was born in September 1902 in a mountain village in Pingyang County, Zhejiang Province. Although his family is poor, his parents are frugal and work hard to provide for him to go to school. When he was in junior high school, he was not interested in mathematics, thinking that mathematics was too simple and he could understand it as soon as he learned it.
However, a later math class influenced the path of his life.
It was when Su Buqing was in his third year of junior high school, and he was studying in Zhejiang Province No. 60 Middle School, and there was a teacher Yang who had just returned from studying in Tokyo to teach mathematics. In the first class, Mr. Yang did not talk about mathematics, but told stories. He said:
In today's world, the law of the jungle eats the strong, and the world's great powers rely on the strength of their ships and guns to carve up China. The danger of China's extinction is imminent, and it is a move to revitalize science, develop industry, and save the country. 'The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband', and every student here has a responsibility.
He talked about the great role of mathematics in the development of modern science and technology. The last sentence of the lesson was: "In order to save the world, science must be revitalized."
Mathematics is the pioneer of science, and in order to develop science, it is necessary to learn mathematics well. Su Buqing didn't know how many classes he had heard in his life, but this class made him unforgettable for life.
Mr. Yang's class deeply touched him and injected new stimulants into his mind. Studying, not only to get rid of personal difficulties, but also to save the vast number of suffering people in China; Studying is not only to find a way out for individuals, but also to seek a new life for the Chinese nation. That night, Su Buqing tossed and turned, unable to sleep all night.
Under the influence of Mr. Yang, Su Buqing's interest shifted from literature to mathematics, and since then he has set up the motto of "reading without forgetting to save the country, and saving the country without forgetting to read". As soon as he became obsessed with mathematics, whether it was a scorching summer or midwinter, a frosty morning or a snowy night, Su Buqing only knew how to read, think, solve problems, and calculate, and he calculated tens of thousands of number learning problems in 4 years. Now Wenzhou No. 1 Middle School (that is, the Provincial No. 10 Middle School at that time) still treasures Su Buqing's geometry exercise book, which is written with a brush and is neat.
When he graduated from middle school, Su Buqing's homework was above 90 points.
At the age of 17, Su Buqing went to Japan to study and was admitted to the Tokyo Higher Technical School with the first place, where he studied hungrily. The belief in winning glory for the country drove Su Buqing to enter the field of mathematics research earlier, and while completing his studies, he wrote more than 30 articles**, achieved remarkable results in differential geometry, and obtained a doctorate in science in 1931. Before receiving his Ph.D., Su Buqing was already a lecturer in the Department of Mathematics at Imperial University of Japan, but just as a Japanese university was about to hire him as an associate professor with a good salary, Su Buqing decided to return to China and return to his ancestors who raised him to teach.
Su Buqing, who returned to Zhejiang University as a professor, lived a very difficult life. In the face of the predicament, Su Buqing's answer was, "What is the point of enduring hardship, I am willing, because I have chosen a correct path, which is a patriotic and bright road!" ”
This is the patriotic heart of the older generation of mathematicians.

The great mathematician of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Zu Chongzhi, calculated pi to the seventh decimal place. It is proved that pi is located between and . More than a thousand years before the Europeans got the same result.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, a nationally famous anti-Japanese hero appeared in Moyuan County, Hebei Province, and his name was Wang Erxiao. Wang Erxiao was only seven years old when he died, and when the Japanese devils swept a ravine, in order to cover thousands of fellow villagers and cadres, he risked his own life and led the enemy into the ambush circle of the Eighth Route Army. The angry Japanese devil picked Wang Erxiao on the tip of the gun and fell to his death on the top of the big rock. >>>More
His deeds include the introduction of systematic algebraic notation and the improvement of equation theory. It also solves the problem of numerical solutions to algebraic equations.

1. Archimedes: King Heelous of Syracuse commissioned a goldsmith to build a crown of pure gold, suspected of being mixed with silver, and asked Archimedes to identify it. Although the weight is the same, the water discharged is not equal due to the difference in volume. According to this reasoning, it can be judged whether the crown is adulterated or not. >>>More
