Physicist Newton was curious when he saw apples ripe when he was a child. He thought, why does everything on the earth fall to the ground after losing its support, but not in other directions? Later, he finally discovered the law of gravity.

Edison

Edison was interested in everything when he was a child. I always want to try something I don't know and find it. Once, he saw a wild beehive near the fence of the garden. He felt very strange, so he poked it with a stick to find out. As a result, his face was swollen by a wild bee sting, but he still didn't want to see the structure of the hive clearly. Edison later became a world-famous great inventor.

Copernicus

Copernicus was afraid of being ruled by the church and being opposed and persecuted, so he was unwilling to publish the theory of celestial bodies. 1543 On May 24th, Copernicus saw the newly published sample book "On the Operation of Celestial Bodies" on his deathbed.

Although Copernicus's "sun-centered theory" was vilified and attacked by religious forces and conservatives in the society after its publication, even those who believed in propagating this theory were brutally suppressed and persecuted, but Copernicus's theory still won the final victory. Copernicus and his theory of celestial bodies, like twinkling superstars in the dark night sky, shine forever.

[Name] Albert Einstein (Jewish theoretical physicist)

A 12-year-old child was fascinated by mathematics in an incredible feeling. He first realized an ancient and eternal philosophical proposition: the relationship between thinking and existence. A right triangle, the squares of two right-angled sides add up to the square of the hypotenuse. This square is not obvious, but it can be proved. How wonderful it is that the human mind can prove that it is not obvious! Then can you measure it? We can't know now whether Einstein Jr. had such an idea at that time. From the self-report quoted above, Einstein intuitively felt: No, a thousand and ten thousand measurements cannot replace a proof, but a proof can replace a thousand and ten thousand measurements. The miracle of thinking brought by geometry made Einstein unable to learn step by step, but he learned the last page in one breath. In Einstein's first steps into the field of natural science, two people were very important. Although it is hard to say that they had any great influence on Einstein in thought, it was they who gave Einstein the first key to open the door of the natural science hall. These two people are Albert Einstein's uncle Jacob Einstein and Talme, a college student from Russia. Jacob Einstein is an enterprising and energetic man. He is an engineer and loves mathematics as much as Herman Einstein. It was he who mobilized Herman Einstein's family to move to Munich. In the factory, he is in charge of technology; At home, he was the initiator of mathematics before Einstein entered school. After Einstein went to school, Uncle Jacob often gave little Einstein some math problems to solve. Whenever Einstein answers correctly, he is very happy. 1888 10, Einstein entered Louis Polder Middle School from Munich State School and studied until he was 15 years old. During this period, Talme, a college student from Russia, became a frequent visitor to Einstein's home. Talme comes to Einstein's house for dinner every Thursday, which is a charity action of Munich Jews to help poor Jewish students from abroad. Talme studied medicine, but she was interested in all kinds of natural science knowledge and philosophy. He was surprised by Einstein's extraordinary thirst for knowledge and ability. Einstein's unforgettable "sacred geometry book" was given to Einstein by Talme. At first, Talme always talked with Einstein about mathematics, and the more he talked, the more interested Einstein became in mathematics. Tired of the boring teaching methods in school, Einstein simply taught himself calculus. His math questions often make middle school math teachers tongue-tied and don't know how to answer them. Although Einstein always comes first in mathematics, the teacher doesn't like him. Once, a teacher publicly said to him, "I would be much happier if you were not in my class." Einstein inexplicably replied, "I didn't do anything wrong!" " "The teacher replied," Yes, it's true. But you always laugh in the back row, which desecrates the sense of respect that teachers need in class. "Einstein certainly didn't make any mistakes, and his teacher's complaints are understandable. Einstein's extraordinary mathematical ability really embarrassed an ordinary middle school teacher and made him feel unspeakable psychological pressure. Contrary to the teacher's less generous psychology, Talme was soon no match for Einstein's mathematics, but he still enthusiastically introduced Einstein's popular natural science books and Kant's philosophical works at that time, especially "Force and Matter" by Buchner and Bernstein's popular natural science books, which left a deep impression on Einstein. In the career of great scientists, people find that they often come across a book when they are young, which has a great influence on their fate. Einstein is no exception. He said in his self-report: "When 12- 16 years old, I became familiar with basic mathematics, including the principles of calculus. At this time, I was lucky to come into contact with some books, which were not too strict in logic, but could highlight the basic ideas simply and clearly. On the whole, this study is really fascinating; It impressed me as much as elementary geometry and reached its peak several times-the basic idea of analytic geometry, infinite series, differential and integral concepts. I was lucky enough to know the main achievements and methods in the whole natural science field from an excellent popular reading. This book (1) is almost completely confined to qualitative narration, and I read it attentively. When I entered Zurich University of Technology at the age of 17 to study mathematics and physics, I had already studied some theoretical physics.

Hua

1950 In February, Hua quietly boarded a small mail boat with her family and left the United States where she had lived for four years. When he set foot on the land of his motherland, the radio broadcast his Open Letter to American Students. The letter wrote emotionally: "Although Jincheng is not as happy as going back to his hometown, Xanadu is good, but it is not a place to live for a long time, so come back!"

Hua returned to Tsinghua University as the head of the Department of Mathematics. Soon, he was appointed as the director of the Institute of Mathematics of China Academy of Sciences. He cherishes the great time provided by the party and the state for scientific research. He goes to school with crutches during the day, uses a chopping board as a desk at night, does math research under the lamp, and often writes late into the night. Sometimes, in order to prove a problem, he often gets up late at night, picks up the newspaper at the beginning of the morning and makes calculations and arguments in the surrounding blanks. In his room, on the desk, on the bed and on the floor, there are piles of calculus papers everywhere. He weaves success and honor with perseverance and diligence.

1956, his important paper "Harmony Analysis in Typical Fields" won the first prize of the first batch of scientific awards of China Academy of Sciences. Subsequently, his 600,000-word masterpiece Introduction to Number Theory came out. This book has devoted his years of hard work. The mathematical circles at home and abroad are shocked. The Institute of Mathematics, led by him, is already full of talents and stars. They set sail to conquer different disciplines such as analytic number theory, algebraic number theory, inclusive number theory, inclusive analysis, geometric topology and so on, and each made outstanding achievements. The study of Goldbach conjecture that shocked the world is one of the outstanding achievements.

1979 12 He was giving a lecture at the University of Birmingham, England. A reporter from Xinhua News Agency interviewed him and asked him about his plans and plans after returning to China. He didn't answer directly, but said, "In my decades of mathematics research career, my deepest experience is that science is fundamental. Although I am nearly old, I still warn myself. " After a moment's silence, he added, "Old trees are easy to empty, and old people are easy to loosen. The scientific way is to let them loosen. I am willing to stick to it all my life. This is my spur to myself, and it can also be said that it is my plan for the future. "

"Life is from the truth to the end", this spirit really makes future generations admire!
