Mention Han Xin everyone should not feel strange, Han Xin can be called one of the most famous generals in the history of the mainland, he lived in the Han Dynasty, it was he who helped Liu Bang fight the world, without Han Xin, Liu Bang's world could not have won so smoothly. However, Han Xin's final fate was very miserable, and the first thought of Later generations mentioning Han Xin was that he was an outstanding military expert, but few people knew that Han Xin was not only a military wizard, he was also very talented in mathematics, an ancient mathematician, do you know where to see it? Let's take a look at it.
Han Xin was a very talented person in mathematics, otherwise he would not have been able to manage the soldiers so well, after all, there were many places on the battlefield where mathematics was used. The first is how to line up when leading soldiers to fight, which is a very critical issue. Generally when fighting a war, the soldiers will be lined up in a phalanx, and how this phalanx should be arranged, how many people should be sent, all of them are what Han Xin needs to do, a horizontal row in a phalanx needs several soldiers, the vertical platoon needs several soldiers, how to completely include all the soldiers in the phalanx, all of which the generals need to consider.
In addition, there is a very widely circulated oil distribution problem, this problem has also been recorded in the wild history, that is, Han Xin once wanted to go to the street to buy oil, Han Xin held two cans in his hand, and the old man who sold oil did not have any cans in his hand, so how to toss these two oil tanks back and forth, and then without weighing, he could directly get the weight of the oil that Han Xin wanted to buy.
The above two topics are basically the Olympic number problems that many people can encounter when they are young, but few people know that these two problems are actually left by Han Xin before his death, and even now, there are still many people who will not count. You know, at that time, there was no concept of Olympiad, not even mathematical concepts, and only real mathematicians could solve such problems.
And Han Xin was talented, these questions were not a big deal for him, but Han Xin eventually died at the hands of Lü Hou. There are many people who feel that Han Xin's final death is really not worth it, Han Xin helped Liu Bang to lay the world, but he did not expect to get such a result. Han Xin's ability is very strong, if he chooses to establish himself as king, it may be that the end of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu is still unknown. Han Xin had also thought about this problem when he was dying, if he could listen to the words of the counselors and establish himself as king, then he would not die at the hands of Lü Hou in the end.
Han Xin is a military wizard and a mathematician, who left two problems before his death, and many people will not count! Many people feel sorry for Han Xin, a generation of heroes fell to this point, how do netizens view this history?
