Tales of genius in mathematics.

1930 One day, Xiong Qinglai, head of the Department of Mathematics at Tsinghua University, was sitting in his office reading a magazine Science. Looking at it, I can't help but exclaim: "Which country is this China from?" Everyone around shook their heads. "Which university does he teach at?" People looked at each other. Finally, a Jiangsu-born teacher thought for a long time before slowly saying, "My brother has a classmate named Hua. Which university did he teach at? " ! He only went to junior high school and heard that he worked as a clerk in Jintan Middle School. "

Xiong qinglai was surprised. A person who graduated from junior high school must be a genius to write such a profound mathematical paper. He immediately decided to invite Hua to Tsinghua University. Since then, Hua has become a teaching assistant in the Department of Mathematics of Tsinghua University. Here, he is like a duck to water, swimming in the ocean of mathematics every day, leaving only five or six hours of sleep for himself. It's hard to believe that flowers have developed the habit of reading books after turning off the lights. Of course, he has no special function, just a logical thinking activity in his mind. He took a book and put it under the lamp, looked at the topic and thought for a while, then turned off the lamp and lay in bed, closed his eyes and meditated, and began to do the problems in his mind. Turn over and get out of bed when you encounter difficulties, and open your books for a while. In this way, a book that took ten days and a half months to finish, he finished it in one night and two nights. Hua is regarded as a rare assistant.

The following year, his papers began to be published in famous foreign mathematical magazines. Tsinghua University broke the precedent and decided to promote Huawei teaching assistants with only junior high school education.

A few years later, Hua was sent to Cambridge University in England to study. However, he doesn't want to study for a doctorate, but only wants to be a visiting scholar. Because being a visiting scholar can break through the shackles and learn seven or eight subjects at the same time. He said, "I came to study in England, not to get a degree."

Hua didn't get a doctorate. During his two years in Cambridge, he wrote 20 papers. On the level, every article can get a doctorate. In one of the studies on "the problem in the tower", his theory was named "Fahrenheit theorem" by the mathematical community.

Hua devoted himself to his favorite mathematical research with the spirit of loving science, being diligent in research and not seeking fame and fortune. He abandoned the money, fame and position that the world sought. In the end, his career succeeded.

China closely combines scientific research with practical application. Hua applied mathematics to industrial and agricultural production and made outstanding contributions to China's modernization.
