19 10, Hua was born in Jintan, a small county in Jiangsu province. When I was a child, my family was poor, and my father opened a small grocery store in a small town to buy silk for others. The family lived a semi-starvation life. When Hua was in junior high school, he had a special interest in mathematics. His teacher, Wang Weike, attaches great importance to this clever boy and often tutors him alone and gives him some difficult problems to do, which benefits him a lot.
After finishing junior high school in Jintan Middle School, Qiu Luogeng had to drop out of school to help run the restaurant business in his father's small grocery store because his family couldn't afford his schooling. But this young man who loves mathematics, although standing in front of the counter, has been thinking about mathematics. Teacher Wang Weike lent him several math textbooks: a big algebra, an analytic geometry and a calculus.
Hua followed these dumb teachers into the door of advanced mathematics. /kloc-at the age of 0/8, with the help of teacher Wang Weike, Hua went to Jintan Middle School as an accountant and was responsible for school affairs. He once recalled the hard life at that time: "In addition to the heavy affairs of the school, I have to help manage the affairs of the small shop sooner or later.
I can't go home until around 8 o'clock every night. After cleaning up the accounts of the shop, you can delve into mathematics, often late at night. "Soon, typhoid fever prevailed in Jintan County, and Hua was unfortunately ill and stayed in bed for half a year. Later, the condition gradually improved, but the left foot was bent and deformed, leaving a crippled leg for life.
Hua studied hard in poverty and illness, not only reading widely, but also being diligent in independent thinking and daring to challenge authority. /kloc-when he was 0/9 years old, he found that a university professor had written a wrong paper.
He wrote his own opinion in an article entitled "Why the quintic equation solution of Su Jiaju's algebra can't be established", which was published in the second year of Shanghai Science magazine. Subsequently, Hua successively published several mathematical papers, signed "Jintan People".
This "Jintan Man", who made his mark in the mathematical forum, attracted the attention of Professor Xiong Qinglai, the head of the Department of Mathematics at Tsinghua University. When he learned that the math wizard turned out to be a teenager who had only attended junior high school, he was deeply shocked and wrote to invite Hua to be an administrator in the math department of Tsinghua University in Peiping at that time.
After arriving in Tsinghua, China has made even faster progress. He taught himself English and German. At the age of 24, he was able to write a math paper in English. At the age of 25, his thesis has attracted the attention of foreign mathematics circles.
At the age of 28, he became a professor at National Southwest Associated University. Later, he was recommended by Xiong Qinglai to go to Cambridge University for further study. ? Hua succeeded! After a bumpy road of self-study, he became a world-famous master of mathematics. The foreign mathematics community commented on him like this: "Professor Hua's research works are wide enough to make him among the top mathematicians in the world."
In the late 1940s, Hua was employed by the University of Illinois and became a professor. Hua's living and research environment is very good. His house has four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a living room, which can accommodate fifty or sixty people for a reception. The university also provided him with four assistants and 1 typist.
However, when the news of the founding of New China came, China no longer attached to the superior conditions of the United States and embarked on the journey of returning to China. He said, "In order to choose the truth, I should go back! I should go back for the sake of the nation! To serve the people, I should go back! " ?
/kloc-one day in 0/950, the famous professor, then director of the Institute of Mathematics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, wrote the words "graduated from junior high school" in the column of "education" when filling in the household registration book. Although this surprised many people, it is true: he really only has a junior high school diploma.
Almost all of this master's mathematical knowledge is obtained through self-study! ? 1June, 983, Hua revisited the United States and accepted the honorary title of foreign academician of the American Academy of Sciences. This is the first time in the history of American Academy of Sciences 120 that this honorary title has been awarded to a scientist in China.
The president of the American Academy of Sciences paid tribute to China and said, "He is a self-taught man, but he has educated millions of people."
Second, Newton
When it comes to Newton, people may think that he must have been a "prodigy" and "genius" when he was a child, with extraordinary intelligence. In fact, Newton's childhood was thin and his mind was not smart. When I was studying in my hometown, I didn't study hard and got poor grades in my class. But he has a wide range of interests and his game skills are higher than those of ordinary children.
Usually he likes to make mechanical models, such as windmills, waterwheels and sundials. His elaborate water clock has won people's praise for its accurate timing. ?
Sometimes, the way he plays ball is also very strange. One day, he made a lantern to hang on the tail of a kite. When night falls, the lighted lanterns rise into the air with the help of the rising power of kites. Luminous lanterns flow in the air, and people are frightened and think there is a comet. Nevertheless, he is often discriminated against because of his poor academic performance. ?
At that time, the hierarchy of British feudal society was very serious. Students who study well in primary and secondary schools may discriminate against those who study poorly. There was a game between classes. When everyone was in high spirits, a good student kicked Newton and called him an idiot. Newton's mind was stimulated to extreme anger.
He thought, we are all students. Why should I be bullied by him? I must pass him! From then on, Newton made up his mind to study hard. He gets up early and goes to bed late. Every minute counts. He studies hard and thinks hard. After studying hard, Newton's academic performance improved continuously, and soon surpassed the classmate who had bullied him, ranking first in the class.
Third, Hawking?
People's talent is not born, but earned by unremitting efforts and diligence. Hawking, a world famous scientist, is a good example. ?
Stephen Hawking 1942 1.8 was born in Oxford, England. He was terminally ill when he was young. However, he persevered, overcame his pain and became a famous scientist at home and abroad. ?
Hawking went to Cambridge University for postgraduate study after graduating from Oxford University. At this time, he was diagnosed as "Luger's disease" and soon became completely paralyzed. 1985 Hawking underwent tracheal surgery for pneumonia. After that, he couldn't speak at all, and he could only talk to people with a small dialogue machine and a speech synthesizer installed in a wheelchair.
Reading must rely on a page-turning machine. When reading a document, you need to have each page spread out on a big table. Later, he read page by page in a wheelchair like a silkworm eating mulberry leaves ...?
However, Hawking will not give up his desire for learning because of a minor illness. It is in this incredible hardship that ordinary people have become the giants of gravitational physics recognized by the world.
Hawking is a Luxun professor of mathematics at Cambridge University. His black hole evaporation theory and quantum cosmology not only shocked natural science, but also had a far-reaching impact on philosophy and religion.
Hawking also published A Brief History of Time in April 1988, and has published 5.5 million copies in 33 languages. Nowadays in the west, people who claim to be educated will be looked down upon if they have not read this book.
Fourth, Kuang Heng dug a wall to borrow light to study.
Kuang Heng was a famous Confucian scholar in the Western Han Dynasty. He likes studying since he was a child and is very diligent, but he can't afford lamp oil at home and can't study at night. One night, when he was lying in bed reciting the Book of Songs he had read during the day, he found his neighbor's house brightly lit. Kuang Heng envies people who study in the sun. He had a brainwave and borrowed a neighbor's lamp to study.
Kuang Heng is thinking about how to read by light. The light projected a huge figure on the wall, like a monster, swinging strangely on the wall. Kuang Heng Jr. had a brainwave: If I secretly cut a hole here, the light next door can shine through the wall in my small room, so I can study with this light.
He jumped out of bed happily, found a chisel and made a small hole in a remote place under the wall. In an instant, the light lit up a small area. Kuang Heng quickly dug out the Book of Songs from the bedside, gathered in the precious light, and studied it carefully. Kuang Heng's parents were very happy to see Kuang Heng working so hard, but at the same time they felt very sad.
From then on, Kuang Heng helped adults do farm work in the fields during the day, and at night, with the help of the small beam of light borrowed from the next door, he studied tirelessly, and finally became a generation of scholars through unremitting efforts.
Verb (short for verb) Chen Jingrun studies hard.
When Chen Jingrun was a child, he often played hide-and-seek with his brother and sister. But Chen Jingrun is a little special when he plays hide-and-seek. He often hides a book in a corner or under a desk where others can't easily find it, and reads it with relish while waiting for others to "catch" him. Look, he forgot others, and others forgot him.
At school, Chen Jingrun loves math. When the teacher explains math problems, he always listens attentively. He also does the exercises assigned after class seriously. Chen Jingrun got infinite pleasure in solving problems. Mathematics is a contest and contest of thinking. Chen Jingrun has spared no effort to solve the problem.
Chen Jingrun asked don't understand. Although he is usually taciturn, he is not shy and timid when asking the teacher for advice. His way of asking for advice is very special: when he sees the teacher go out or the teacher goes from high school to junior high school, he runs behind, walks with the teacher for a while and asks questions while walking.
When Chen Jingrun was studying in Huaying Middle School in Fuzhou, he was lucky enough to listen to Professor Shen Yuan from Tsinghua University. Professor Shen Yuan told the students a world math problem: "About 200 years ago, a German mathematician named Goldbach put forward the theory that' any even number can be expressed as the sum of two prime numbers', which is abbreviated as'1+1'.
But he didn't prove it when he was born. Goldbach passed away with a lifetime of regret, but left this mathematical problem behind. For a long time, the mystery of Goldbach's conjecture has attracted many mathematicians, but there is no result all the time, which has become a big unsolved mystery in mathematics. "
Professor Shen Yuan made an image metaphor for Goldbach's conjecture. He compared mathematics to the queen of natural science and Goldbach's conjecture to the jewel in the queen's crown! Professor Shen Yuan's Goldbach conjecture attracts Chen Jingrun like a magnet.
After many years, Chen Jingrun finally got his wish and entered the Institute of Mathematics of Chinese Academy of Sciences. 1966, he published "Table even number is the sum of the products of a prime number and no more than two prime numbers" (referred to as "1+2"), which is of milestone significance in the history of Goldbach's conjecture research.
The theorem he proved shocked the international mathematics community, and later this theorem was named "Chen Theorem".
Study should have the spirit of hard work like Chen Jingrun. Only in this way can we overcome one difficulty after another and make great achievements. Teenagers will encounter some difficulties in their studies. What should they do? Here are two methods for reference:
1, spur method: let police officers and friends supervise themselves and try their best to cooperate.
2, self-control method: find yourself a goal, this goal must be what you care most about and most afraid of losing. Then for that goal, make yourself diligent. And you can post your goals in a conspicuous place to remind yourself.
