"I have discovered a truly marvelous demonstration of this proposition which this margin is too narrow to contain."
With these words, the seventeenth-century French mathematician Pierre de Fermat threw down the gauntlet to future generations.What came to be known as Fermat's Last Theorem looked simple; proving it, however, became the Holy Grail of mathematics, baffling its finest minds for more than 350 years.In Fermat's Enigma --based on the author's award-winning documentary film, which aired on PBS's "Nova"--Simon Singh tells the astonishingly entertaining story of the pursuit of that grail, and the lives that were devoted to, sacrificed for, and saved by it.Here is a mesmerizing tale of heartbreak and mastery that will forever change your feelings about mathematics.
Simon Lehna Singh, MBE is a British author who has specialised in writing about mathematical and scientific topics in an accessible manner. He is the maiden winner of the Lilavati Award.
His written works include Fermat's Last Theorem (in the United States titled Fermat's Enigma: The Epic Quest to Solve the World's Greatest Mathematical Problem), The Code Book (about cryptography and its history), Big Bang (about the Big Bang theory and the origins of the universe) and Trick or Treatment? Alternative Medicine on Trial (about complementary and alternative medicine).
He has also produced documentaries and works for television to accompany his books, is a trustee of NESTA, the National Museum of Science and Industry and co-founded the Undergraduate Ambassadors Scheme.
via Tianfang 7年時間獨自完成一個煉金術般的數學證明,之後被發現漏洞在羞恥與壓力之下又花瞭1年時間修補瞭證明。看完隻陷入瞭深深的自我反省,自己有沒有為任何一件事這麼勇敢這麼專注過...
評分前半部是數學簡史,後半部是數學傢的執著
評分前半部是數學簡史,後半部是數學傢的執著
評分雖然最後也沒懂是怎麼證齣來的,還是為數學史感動,作者也很會詮釋數學道理,特彆充滿生命力的文字
評分第一遍讀完的是在讀master的那兩年,那時候離早些年參加各種奧數比賽的日子還不遠,還能完整地熟練地運用費馬小定理。現在再看的時候幾乎已經很難想起完整的費小定理瞭,也有瞭完全不同的閱讀體會和思路。
Part.I 1958年,在一本名为《与魔王的交易》的书中收录了这样一个故事:魔王请一个家伙提出一个问题,如果魔王在24小时内回答出来了魔王就会带走这个人的灵魂,如果没有魔王就支付给这个人10万美元。 这个人问道:费马大定理是不是正确的? 魔王离开了,并在迅速吸收了世界上一...
評分这本书的好就勿需多言了,在讲述费马大定理被破解的过程中展现了几千年来人类知识的进步,并同时伴以类似侦探小说的写法,让我有看《达芬奇密码》一样欲罢不能的冲动。 这本书看着看着就有一种亲切的感觉泛起来,看到了久违的勾股定理、想起了世界上还有虚数这样一个东西存在.....
評分以前我就是个不太喜欢数学的人,确切的说是讨厌那些很烦琐的计算。这本书我看的是PDF格式的,其实早就下载好了的,只是没去看,那天拿来一看,看得入谜,一口气看完已是凌晨,但那种满足感却也无法说出。感叹于数学的神奇,感叹于数学家们的天才和他们那坚韧的意志。
評分这本书我非常推荐。写的非常浅显易懂,即便是文科生看懂整个逻辑也是没有任何问题(好像不小心黑了谁),配合BBC同名纪录片效果更佳呦。正经来说,这本书的最大价值在于,从一个非常好的侧面反应了解决一个数学(科学)问题所需要的付出有时是惊人的,也许要费尽一整代人的努力...
評分怀尔斯依靠20世纪诞生的数学猜想和一系列数学技巧证明了费马大定理,这是现代数学的杰作。而几个世纪之前的费马显然不会是这种证明方法。费马当初写下“我已经找到了一个真正美妙的证明”,这个证明也许有缺陷,也许是一个巧妙的证明。无论是什么样的,费马一定是以17世纪的数...
