1) Newton cooks an egg
The English physicist Isaac
Newton at work often forgot everything else, even eating and drinking. One
morning he again did not come for breakfast. Then his wife brought a pot of
water and an egg in the study, where the scholar had a small stove for his
experiments. The woman took Newton’s clock, put it next to the egg and said,
"Here is an egg and here your clock. Place the pot on the stove and cook
the egg 3 minutes!" Then she went out. After some time she came back into
the room. Newton was sitting at the table reading. In his left hand he held the
book in his right he held the egg. In the pot on the stove ...............
cooked his clock.
2) The first honestly earned
coin
The great German mathematician
Carl Friedrich Gauss was, of course, once a child like all people. Gauss’
father was a bricklayer. Since he was always industrious, he soon became
foreman. Now he had to calculate the wages of masons every evening after work.
For the three-year-old Karl Friedrich, this was the finest time of the evening,
when the father was sitting at the table and counted. He climbed on his
father's knees, looked at the paper with the lot of numbers and calculated with
him. The three- year-old could really already count! He often painted numbers
on the house wall with chalk, or wrote them in the sand with a stick. Numbers
were his favourite toys. One evening father Gauss was very tired and while
counting he fell asleep. While he was sleeping, his son continued the
calculation. Suddenly the boy cried! "Father, look, you've made a
mistake: A five must stand here. You've written a three!" Shocked Gauss
opened his eyes. He considered the calculation, and really, Karl Friedrich, his
three- year-old son had found an error! He stroked his boy tenderly, reached
into his pocket and gave him a new coin. Karl Friedrich did not buy any candy
for it. He kept it well. Later, as a famous man, he had this coin still with
him, in memory of his first mathematical performance.
