The Calculus Gallery pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
More than three centuries after its creation, calculus remains a dazzling intellectual achievement and the gateway into higher mathematics. This book charts its growth and development by sampling from the work of some of its foremost practitioners, beginning with Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz in the late seventeenth century and continuing to Henri Lebesgue at the dawn of the twentieth. William Dunham lucidly presents the definitions, theorems, and proofs. "Students of literature read Shakespeare; students of music listen to Bach," he writes. But this tradition of studying the major works of the "masters" is, if not wholly absent, certainly uncommon in mathematics. This book seeks to redress that situation. Like a great museum, The Calculus Gallery is filled with masterpieces, among which are Bernoulli's early attack upon the harmonic series (1689), Euler's brilliant approximation of pi (1779), Cauchy's classic proof of the fundamental theorem of calculus (1823), Weierstrass's mind-boggling counterexample (1872), and Baire's original "category theorem" (1899). Collectively, these selections document the evolution of calculus from a powerful but logically chaotic subject into one whose foundations are thorough, rigorous, and unflinching--a story of genius triumphing over some of the toughest, most subtle problems imaginable. Anyone who has studied and enjoyed calculus will discover in these pages the sheer excitement each mathematician must have felt when pushing into the unknown. In touring The Calculus Gallery , we can see how it all came to be.
William Dunham 世界知名的數學史專傢,現為美國穆倫堡學院教授。Dunham教授著述頗豐,較有影響的著作還有Journey Through Genius: The Great Theorems of Mathematics和The Mathematical Universe,後者被美國齣版商協會評為1994年的最佳數學書(中文版也將由人民郵電齣版社齣版)。Dunham還分彆於1992年、1997年、2006年獲得美國數學協會頒發的George Polya奬、Trevor Evans 奬和Lester R. Ford奬。

評分 評分这本书的神奇之处在于,它美得像是一个故事,所谓「无巧不成书」:微积分的两位开山之父牛顿和莱布尼兹在 17 世纪写下微积分基本定理——导数的定积分是原函数之差,后来却被人发现充满了各种「如果」「除非」,必须写成「一个性质足够好的导数,其积分才存在、才是原函数之差...
評分一道讓人回味的菜必定有著順滑的口感和濃鬱的味道。一本讓人回味的書也一定充滿了讓你驚喜的細節和朦朦朧朧不見真身的回眸。 比起歷史,教科書的味道簡直是連地溝油都捨不得多放的渣菜。歷史的味道並不是端上來揭開蓋那刻的香氣,而是從菜品設計、選材用料,到清洗加工、煎炸爆...
