Three short stories of mathematicians (less than 300 words)

Once, while looking at the shop, Hua was solving a math problem. A lady came and wanted to buy cotton. When she asked Hua how much it was, he was completely absorbed in the problem and didn't hear what the other party said. After calculating the answer, he casually said a number. The lady thought he was talking about the price of cotton and screamed, "Why is it so expensive?" .

At this time, Hua knew that someone had come to buy cotton. When Hua sold cotton to a lady, he found that the toilet paper he used to calculate the problem was taken away by a lady. This made Hua desperate to catch up with the young lady, and he finally caught up with her. Hua said shyly, "aunt, please ... please give me back the toilet paper." The woman said angrily, "I paid for this, but." ...

Hua was in a hurry and said, "How about this! I paid for it. " When Hua reached for the money, the woman seemed to be moved by the child! He not only asked for money, but also returned the toilet paper to Hua. At this time, HuaCai slightly relieved. After returning home, I began to calculate math problems again. ...

Mathematician's story 2:

Hua is not only willing to use his brains for mathematics, but also is very attentive to Chinese. On one occasion, the teacher distributed his collection of books by Hu Shi, a literary master, to the students and asked them to write a review after reading them.

Hua's copy is a collection of attempts, which reveals the author's pride in advocating vernacular Chinese and thinks that he is a successful experimenter, so he wrote a preface poem on the title page: "Since ancient times, attempts have never been successful, and it may not be true. I am the next talker today, and I have been trying to succeed since ancient times.

Mathematician's story 3:

Hua especially likes thinking. He often shows great interest in something that others think is normal and asks some seemingly strange questions. Once, he went to the suburbs to play with others and saw a stone man and a horse beside an abandoned grave. He asked his older companion, "How heavy are these stone men and horses?" The companion replied, "How do you know?" Unwilling, Hua thought for a moment and said, "There will always be a way to know."

Mathematician's story 4:

In the Jintan of that year, Hua's favorite places to go were Lantern Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Temple Fair and other places, where he was indispensable. There is a Qinglong Mountain in the east of the city and a temple on the mountain. Every temple fair, the "Bodhisattva:" in the temple put his feathers on his head, put on colorful clothes and rode into the city on a big horse.

Along the way, people kowtowed to the Bodhisattva and prayed for happiness. Hua straightened his neck and looked at the Bodhisattva with folded hands, thinking, "Is the Bodhisattva really omnipotent?" When the temple fair broke up, people went home one after another, but Hua followed the "Bodhisattva" to Qinglong Mountain, trying to find out the truth and see the true face of the "Bodhisattva".

Mathematician's story 5:

The most popular story about gauss is "5050". The teacher originally wanted to quiet the class with a difficult problem, but it took little Gauss only a minute or two to tell the answer. He added 1, 2, 3 ... and 100, 99, 98 pairs, and got 50 pairs 10 1. Finally, he easily worked out that the sum from 1 to 100 was 5050.

The mathematician's story 6:

Once in Hilbert's discussion class, a young man reported using a beautiful theorem. Hilbert said, "This is really a wonderful theorem. Who found it? " The young man stood blankly for a long time and said to Hilbert, "It's you ..."

Mathematician's story 7:

Coble, an American academician in the last century, was once very influential in the fields of algebra and geometry. It is said that he has numerous doctoral thesis topics: you prove a two-dimensional situation, he asks the next doctoral student to prove a three-dimensional situation, and then asks the next doctoral student to do a four-dimensional one.

Later, a doctor named Gerald Huff not only made a five-dimensional situation, but also solved the general n, which made Coble's future doctors do nothing. Coble was very angry.
