1、Match the people with their achievementDa Vinci Don Quixote Galileo HamletCervantes Free Fall ExperimentShakespeare Mona LisaCopernicus 哥白尼(Nicolaus Copernicus,1473-1543),波兰天文学家、日心说创立者,近代天文学的奠基人。哥白尼经过长期的天文观测和研究,创立了更为科学的宇宙结构体系日心说,从此否定了在西方统治达一千多年的地心说。日心说经历了艰苦的斗争后,才为人们所接受,这是天文学上一次伟大的革命,不仅引起了人类宇宙观的重大革新,
2、而且从根本上动摇了欧洲中世纪宗教神学的理论支柱。“从此自然科学便开始从神学中解放出来”,“科学的发展从此便大踏步前进”（恩格斯自然辩证法）。哥白尼著有阐述日心说的天体运行论(1543年出版),由于受到时代的局限,在日心说中保留了所谓“完美的”圆形轨道等论点。其后开普勒建立行星运动三定律,牛顿发现万有引力定律，以及行星光行差、视差相继发现,日心说遂建立在更加稳固的科学基础上。We all know something about Copernicus.He was one of the first scientists to use mathematical observations to co

23、,he found a general rule.It is topology.Eulers theory is called“The Euler path”,which is expressed like this:If a figure has more than two odd points,you cannot go over it without lifting your pencil from the page or going over a line twice.What are the theories?So the general rule that Euler found is the even points and the odd points.Look at the following pictures:ConclusionEulers theory(一笔画)可以一笔画只有两种情况：1.没有奇数顶点。2.只有两个奇数顶点。
