高斯是近代数学奠基人之一,被誉为“数学王子”。19岁时,他在德国哥廷根大学读博士。一天晚上,高斯在宿舍做导师布置的数学题。题目很快就做完了,当他准备合上书本休息时,却发现里面还夹着张纸条:用圆规和一把没有刻度的直尺画出正十七边形。难道这是导师留的附加题?高斯没多想,就拿出圆规和直尺研究起来。可画了半天,他也没找出头绪。夜深了,宿舍里其他人都睡了,高斯还是放不下,继续琢磨着。终于,经过一夜奋战后,他
Gaussian is one of the founders of modern mathematics, known as “math prince ”. At the age of 19, he was a PhD student at the University of Göttingen in Germany. One night, Gauss in the dormitory to do the tutor arranged math problems. The subject was done soon, and when he was ready to close the book to rest, he found it still holding a piece of paper inside: draw a 17-polygon with a compass and a ruler without scales. Is this a tutor’s additional question? Gaussian did not think about it, come up with compasses and straightedges to study. Can be drawn for a long time, he did not find out the clue. Late at night, the rest of the dorm slept, Gauss still fit, continue to ponder. Finally, after a night of fighting, he
