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。
很简约的写一些数学定理的故事,从最基础的毕达格拉斯定律到微积分的伯努利定律。不念高等数学已经五年了的我竟然还记得有个定律叫伯努利,完全是这本书的功劳。 写得很简约,但是引人入胜。
评分自认为是个对于数学史的基本脉络算是有大体了解的人,但是这本《天才引导的历程》还是让我感觉耳目一新。并非是此前对于数学家的个人小传或是他们各自做出的数学成就不了解,而是本书对于“数学的”部分和“关于数学的”部分之间的比例,拿捏得比较到位。G. H. Hardy在他著名的...
评分数学,不只是数字的运算;数学,不只是枯燥的公式,数学,不只是复杂的推理。数学是科学的窗口,是逻辑的探秘,更是思索的乐趣。这本书不是简单的数学史,也不是在告诉你如何成长为数学家,而是结合历史时代背景来讲述关于数学天才如何发现那些改变数学发展历程的定理。将数学...
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...
