The mathematical proposition 0 about "0" can be said to be the earliest number contacted by human beings. Our ancestors only knew nothing and existence at first, and none of them was 0, so 0 isn't it? I remember the primary school teacher once said, "Any number minus itself is equal to 0, and 0 means there is no number." This statement is obviously incorrect. As we all know, 0 degrees Celsius on the thermometer indicates the freezing point of water (that is, the temperature of ice-water mixture at standard atmospheric pressure), where 0 is the distinguishing point between solid and liquid water. Moreover, in Chinese characters, 0 means more as zero, such as: 1) fragmentary; A small part. 2) The quantity is not enough for a certain unit ... At this point, we know that "no quantity is 0, but 0 not only means no quantity, but also means the difference between solid and liquid water, and so on." "Any number divided by 0 is meaningless." This is a "conclusion" about 0 that teachers from primary school to middle school are still talking about. At that time, division (primary school) was to divide a copy into several parts and figure out how many there were in each part. A whole cannot be divided into 0 parts, which is "meaningless". Later, I learned that 0 in a/0 can represent a variable with zero as the limit (the absolute value of a variable is always smaller than an arbitrarily small positive number in the process of change) and should be equal to infinity (the absolute value of a variable is always larger than an arbitrarily large positive number in the process of change). From this, another theorem about 0 is obtained: "A variable whose limit is zero is called infinitesimal". "Room 203 105 in 2003", although all of them are zeros, they are roughly similar in appearance; They have different meanings. 0 indicator vacancy of 105 and 2003 cannot be deleted. 0 in Room 203 separates "Building (2)" from "House Number". (3) "(that is, Room 8 on the second floor) can be deleted. Einstein once said, "From a macro point of view, I always think it is absurd to explore the meaning and purpose of a person or all living things." I want to study all the numbers of "existence", so I'd better know the number of "non-existence" first, so as not to become what Einstein called "absurd". As a middle school student, my ability is limited after all, and my understanding of 0 is not thorough enough. In the future, I hope (including action) to find "my new continent" in the "ocean of knowledge". What exactly is mathematics in the second science? We say that mathematics is a science that studies the relationship between spatial form and quantity in the real world. It is widely used in modern life and production, and it is an indispensable basic tool for studying and studying modern science and technology. Like other sciences, mathematics has its past, present and future. We know its past only to understand its present and future. Modern mathematics has developed extremely rapidly. In the past 30 years, the new theory of mathematics has surpassed the sum of the theories of 18 and 19 centuries. It is estimated that the achievements of mathematics in the future will not exceed 10 years. So after understanding the past of mathematics, it is very beneficial to have a general understanding of the present and future of mathematics. An obvious trend in the development of modern mathematics is that all sciences are going through the process of mathematization. Like physics. I have long known that it is inseparable from mathematics. In colleges and universities, it is also a well-known fact that students of mathematics department should study general physics and students of physics department should study advanced mathematics. Another example is chemistry, which uses mathematics to quantitatively study chemical reactions. Taking the concentration and temperature of the substances involved in the reaction as variables, the changing law is expressed by an equation, and the chemical reaction is studied through the "stable solution" of the equation. Here, we should not only apply basic mathematics, but also "frontier" and "developing" mathematics. Biology, for example, should study periodic movements such as heart beating, blood circulation and pulse. This movement can be expressed by an equation. By finding the "periodic solution" of the equation and studying the appearance and maintenance of this solution, we can grasp the above phenomena in biology. This shows that biology has developed from qualitative research to quantitative research in recent years. It is also necessary to apply "developing" mathematics, which has made great achievements in biology. When it comes to demography, it is not enough just to add, subtract, multiply and divide. When we talk about population growth, we often say what the birth rate and death rate are each year. So subtracting the death rate from the birth rate is the annual population growth rate? No, in fact, people are constantly born, and the number of births is related to the original base. So is death. This situation is called "dynamic" in modern mathematics. It can't be simply treated by addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, but described by complex "differential equations". Study such problems, equations, data, function curves, computers, etc. Is indispensable. Finally, it can be clear how each family can have only one child, how to have only two children and so on. As for water conservancy, we should consider sea storms and water pollution. These problems are also described by equations, and then the data are input into the computer to find their solutions, and then compared with the actual observation results, thus serving the reality. Very advanced mathematics is needed here. When it comes to exams, students often think that they are used to check the quality of their studies. In fact, the means of examination (oral examination and written examination, etc. ) and the quality of the paper itself is different. Modern education statistics and education measurement are carried out through quantitative indicators such as validity, difficulty, discrimination and reliability. The quality of the exam can be effectively tested. As for literary sports, mathematics is also needed. We can see from CCTV's literary grand prix program that when an actor is graded, he often "removes a highest score" and then "removes a lowest score". Then we calculate the average score of the remaining scores. As an actor's score, statistically speaking, "highest score" and "lowest score" have the lowest credibility, so they are removed. These all contain mathematical truth. Mr. Guan, a famous mathematician in China, said: "There are various inventions in mathematics, and I think there are at least three: one is to solve classic problems, which is a great job; First, put forward new concepts, new methods and new theories. In fact, it is this kind of person who has played a greater role in history and is famous in history; Another is to apply the original theory to a brand-new field, which is a great invention from the perspective of application. " This is the third invention. "There are so many beautiful flowers here that the prospect of developing mathematics and other sciences into comprehensive sciences is infinitely bright." As Mr. Hua said in May 1959, it is almost 100. It is no exaggeration to summarize the extensive application of mathematics with "the size of the universe, the tiny particles, the speed of rockets, the cleverness of chemical engineering, the change of the earth, the mystery of biology, the complexity of daily use, etc." It can be predicted that the more advanced science is, the wider the scope of applied mathematics will be. In principle, all scientific research can use mathematics to solve related problems. It can be asserted that there are only departments that can't apply mathematics now, but. Some people say, "Isn't mathematics the knowledge of numbers?" That's not true. Because mathematics not only studies "number" but also "shape", triangles and squares, which are familiar to everyone, are also the objects of mathematical research. Historically, there have been various views on what mathematics is. Some people say that mathematics is correlation; Some people say that mathematics is logic. "Logic is the youth of mathematics, and mathematics is the prime of logic." So, what is mathematics? Engels, the great revolutionary tutor, stood at the theoretical height of dialectical materialism, profoundly analyzed the origin and essence of mathematics and made a series of incisive scientific conclusions. Engels pointed out that "mathematics is a quantitative science" and "the object of pure mathematics is the spatial form and quantitative relationship of the real world". According to Engels' point of view, it is more accurate to say: mathematics-a science that studies the quantitative relationship and spatial form of the real world. Mathematics can be divided into two categories, one is pure mathematics and the other is applied mathematics. Pure mathematics, also called basic mathematics, specializes in the internal laws of mathematics itself. The knowledge of algebra, geometry, calculus and probability introduced in the textbooks of primary and secondary schools belongs to pure mathematics. A remarkable feature of pure mathematics is to temporarily put aside the specific content and study the quantitative relationship and spatial form of things in pure form. For example, it doesn't matter whether it is the area of trapezoidal rice fields or the area of trapezoidal mechanical parts. What everyone cares about is the quantitative relationship contained in this geometry. Applied mathematics is a huge system. Some people say that it is the part of all our knowledge that can be expressed in mathematical language. Applied mathematics is limited to explaining natural phenomena and solving practical problems, and it is a bridge between pure mathematics and science and technology. It is often said that now is the information society, and the "information theory" which specializes in information is an important branch of applied mathematics. Mathematics has three most remarkable characteristics. High abstraction is one of the remarkable characteristics of mathematics. Mathematical theory has a very abstract form, which is formed through a series of stages, so it greatly exceeds the general abstraction in natural science, and not only the concept is abstract, but also the mathematical method itself is abstract. For example, physicists can prove their theories through experiments, while mathematicians can't prove theorems through experiments, but can only use logical reasoning and calculation. Now, even geometry, which used to be regarded as "intuitive" in mathematics, is developing in the abstract direction. According to the axiomatic thought, there is no need to know geometric figures. It doesn't matter whether they are round or square. Even tables, chairs and beer cups can be used instead of dots, lines and noodles. As long as the relationship of combination, order and reduction is satisfied, and it is compatible, independent and complete, a geometry can be formed. The rigor of the system is another remarkable feature of mathematics. The correctness of mathematical thinking lies in the rigor of logic. As early as more than 2000 years ago, mathematicians started from several basic conclusions and used the method of logical reasoning to organize rich geometric knowledge into a rigorous and systematic theory, just like a beautiful logical chain, with every link connected into a line. Therefore, mathematics has always been regarded as a "model of precise science". Widely used is also a remarkable feature of mathematics. The size of the universe, the tiny particles, the speed of rockets, the ingenuity of chemical engineering, the change of the earth, the mystery of biology and the complexity of daily life require mathematics everywhere. In the 20th century, with the emergence of a large number of branches of applied mathematics, mathematics has penetrated into almost all scientific departments. Not only physics, chemistry and other disciplines are still enjoying the fruits of mathematics widely, but even biology, linguistics and history, which rarely used mathematics in the past, are combined with mathematics, forming rich marginal disciplines such as biomathematics, mathematical economics, mathematical psychology, mathematical linguistics and mathematical history. Mathematicization of various sciences is a major trend in the development of modern science.
