Praise for William Dunham s Journey Through Genius The Great Theorems of Mathematics "Dunham deftly guides the reader through the verbal and logical intricacies of major mathematical questions and proofs, conveying a splendid sense of how the greatest mathematicians from ancient to modern times presented their arguments." Ivars Peterson Author, The Mathematical Tourist Mathematics and Physics Editor, Science News "It is mathematics presented as a series of works of art; a fascinating lingering over individual examples of ingenuity and insight. It is mathematics by lightning flash." Isaac Asimov "It is a captivating collection of essays of major mathematical achievements brought to life by the personal and historical anecdotes which the author has skillfully woven into the text. This is a book which should find its place on the bookshelf of anyone interested in science and the scientists who create it." R. L. Graham, AT&T Bell Laboratories "Come on a time-machine tour through 2,300 years in which Dunham drops in on some of the greatest mathematicians in history. Almost as if we chat over tea and crumpets, we get to know them and their ideas ideas that ring with eternity and that offer glimpses into the often veiled beauty of mathematics and logic. And all the while we marvel, hoping that the tour will not stop." Jearl Walker, Physics Department, Cleveland State University Author of The Flying Circus of Physics
William Dunham,俄亥俄州立大学硕士和博士毕业,现为美国穆伦堡学院教授,世界知名的数学史专家。他分别于1992年、1997年、2006年获得美国数学协会颁发的George Polya奖、Trevor Evans 奖和Lester R. Ford奖。Dunham教授著述颇丰,除本书外,还著有《The Mathematical Universe: An Alphabetical Journey Through the Great Proofs, Problems, and Personalities》(数学那些事儿:思想、发现、人物和历史)等广受好评的科普著作。
从收到china-pub的短信推荐到读完这本书,整整一周时间。书中的内容既熟悉又遥远,儿时零散的读物被综合在一本神奇的书中,直接完成了一次对数学的复习与回忆。书中描述的数学之美对于我都是一种回忆,几何与数论,几乎是我儿时最喜欢的,而Σ则是我一直以来的噩梦,无论是n,...
评分这本书我买了四年了。 是一位朋友当时向我推荐了一列书单,我也没仔细看,就照着书单从网上一一买了回来。这本书我没看到新书,还是在孔夫子买的九成新。 书送到了,我拆开包装随手翻看的时候,当即傻眼了!电光火石之间我只看到各种几何图形各种方程式,已知未知XYZ,简直哭...
评分以前我是很讨厌数学的,看过这本书后,开始对数学这门学科感兴趣,然后开始疯狂学习,虽然我现在的工作和数学没有关系,但是,数学赋予了我精确地逻辑思维,我感谢数学,我觉得,现在每个学校要普及这本书,这要比简单的填鸭式学习有效得多
评分 评分2015年夏(26岁),第一次读,四星半。科普类,适合浏览,高中数学水平即可阅读。主要介绍历史上划时代的伟大定理的证明以及相关故事,涉及从公元前的欧几里得到19世纪的康托尔的历代数学大神。一本数学科普书写得像小说一样高潮迭起、荡气回肠,好几次都被精妙证明中的缜密逻...
