Pascal, a great French mathematician and physicist, not only liked to ask why when he was a child, but also liked to delve into it by himself to find the answer to the question. Once, Pascal was playing outside the kitchen and heard the chef jingle the dishes. This voice caught Pascal's attention.

He thought, if the knock made a sound, why didn't the sound disappear as soon as the knife left the plate? He did the experiment by himself. He found that the sound continued after knocking on the plate, but as long as he pressed the edge of the plate with his hand, the sound stopped immediately. Pascal was pleased to find that the most important thing in the original sound was vibration, not percussion. The blow has stopped. As long as the vibration doesn't stop, it can still make a sound.

In this way, Pascal discovered the principle of acoustic vibration at the age of 1 1 and began scientific exploration. He was able to publish a mathematical paper at the age of 16, developed the world's first mechanical computer at the age of 22, and completed the famous vacuum experiment at the age of 24, all of which were inseparable from his love for the brain since childhood.

Second,

Archimedes has many stories, the most famous of which is the story of discovering Archimedes' principle in the bath.

The king made a golden crown. He suspected that the craftsman had stolen some gold with silver, so he asked Archimedes to identify whether it was made of pure gold and not to damage the crown. Archimedes thought hard about the crown all day. One day, Archimedes went to the bathroom to take a bath. He went into the bath tub. When he immersed himself in the bath bucket, some water overflowed from the side of the bucket. Archimedes saw this phenomenon and crackled in his mind. "I found it!"

Archimedes took a gold nugget with the same weight and a silver nugget with the same weight and put them in containers filled with water respectively. He found that silver blocks can discharge more water. It was Archimedes who took a gold nugget as heavy as a crown and put it in a container full of water to measure the amount of water discharged. Then put the crown in a container filled with water to see if the amount of water discharged is the same, and the problem will be solved. With further research, Archimedes principle, the most important cornerstone of fluid mechanics, was born.

Third,

When Gauss was still in the second grade of primary school, one day his math teacher wanted to take time out of class to deal with some personal affairs. So I'm going to give the students a difficult problem to practice. His topic is:

1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+ 10=?

Because addition has just been taught, the teacher thinks it will take a long time for students to write this problem. I can also take this opportunity to deal with the unfinished business, but in a blink of an eye, Gauss has stopped writing and sat there doing nothing. The teacher saw it and called Gauss angrily.

But Gauss said he had figured out the answer, which was 55. The teacher was startled and asked how Gauss worked it out. Gauss replied, "I just found out that the sum of 1 and 10 is the sum of1,2 and 9,1,3 and 8,1/kloc-0. And because11+1+11+11= 55, that's how I worked it out. " Hearing this, both teachers and students gave Gauss a thumbs-up sign. Later, Gauss grew up and became a great mathematician.
