One day in 1796, at the University of Göttingen, Germany, a 19-year-old young man with a great talent for mathematics finished dinner and began to do the daily routine of three mathematical problems assigned to him by his tutor.
As usual, the first two questions were successfully completed in two hours. The third inscription, written on a small piece of paper, asks for a regular 17-sided shape using only a compass and an ungraduated ruler. As the young people do it, they feel more and more struggling.
At first, he also thought that maybe the tutor saw that I did a good job in the questions every day, so he deliberately increased the difficulty for me this time. However, as the minutes ticked by, there was no progress on the third question. The young man racked his brains and could not think of any help in solving the problem with his existing knowledge of mathematics.
The difficulties aroused the fighting spirit of the youth: I must make it! He picked up the compass and ruler and drew them on paper, trying to find answers with some unconventional ideas.
Finally, when the window showed a glimmer of light, the young man breathed a sigh of relief, and he finally made this difficult problem!
When meeting the mentor, the youth felt a little guilty and remorseful. He said to his mentor, "I worked all night on the third question you assigned to me, and I failed to live up to your cultivation ...... me”
The tutor took the young man's homework and looked at it, and was immediately stunned. He said to the young man in a trembling voice, "Did you really make this yourself?"
The young man looked at the excited mentor with some confusion and said, "Of course, but I am stupid, and it took me a whole night to make it. The instructor asked the young man to sit down, took out the compass and ruler, spread out the paper on the desk, and asked the young man to make a regular 17-sided shape in front of him.
The youth quickly made a regular 17-sided shape. The tutor excitedly said to the young man, "Do you know that you have solved a mathematical mystery that is more than 2,000 years old?
Archimedes didn't solve it, Newton didn't solve it, you solved it in one night! You're a genius! Years later, when the young man recalled this scene, he always said:
If someone had told me that this was a math puzzle that was more than 2,000 years old, I wouldn't have solved it in one night. ”
This young man was Gauss, the prince of mathematics.
There are some things that we tend to be able to do better when we don't know how hard it really is!

Life, my teacher.
Life is our teacher, and just like in the classroom, some small things in life may inspire us and gain knowledge in it. For example, a number of Internet trendy phrases that reflect social changes, such as "rising unscrupulous" means that housing prices, prices and other commodities are unscrupulous; "Jiang You Army" is to describe ginger** soaring all the way, beyond the reasonable range; "Sugar Gaozong" means that the **continuous** of white sugar has set a record high; "Cotton palm" means that cotton ** is rewriting new historical records every day; "Coal is crazy" means that almost overnight, the price of coal has risen by 200 to 300 yuan per ton. These words are very memorable and have taught us a lot. >>>More
