1. The model is Karl Friedrich Gauss, supposedly born into a family of manual workers, who grew up to become the father of modern mathematics. 卡尔·弗里德里克·高斯就是一个典型,据说他出身在一个体力劳动者家庭,后来却成了现代数学之父。
2. A professor who studies early learning has attacked this myth, saying that when he looked into Gauss's childhood, he found that Gauss's mother had been teaching him numbers at the age of two. 一位研究早期学习的教授驳斥了这一说法,称他研究了高斯的童年,发现在他两岁时,母亲就教给他数字。
3. Furthermore, Gauss had an educated uncle who taught him sophisticated math at an early age. 而且高斯还有个受过教育的叔叔,他在高斯很小的时候就教他复杂的数学。
