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,俄亥俄州立大學碩士和博士畢業,現為美國穆倫堡學院教授,世界知名的數學史專傢。他分彆於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。Dunham教授著述頗豐,除本書外,還著有《The Mathematical Universe: An Alphabetical Journey Through the Great Proofs, Problems, and Personalities》(數學那些事兒:思想、發現、人物和曆史)等廣受好評的科普著作。
我一向不抵触数学,但谈不上喜欢它。 这本书的扉页上写着“它会让热爱数学的人体会到绝处逢生的喜悦,让讨厌数学的人从此爱上数学。”我觉得不然,它并不是一本魔法书,把讨厌的情感变为喜欢。它只是向我们展示了数学最本质的美丽,而这种美,从来都是在的。它藏匿于一道道使我...
評分从收到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,...
評分 評分半年以来,我都在刻意培养自己对数学的兴趣,从《给讨厌数学的人》开始,之后是《从一到无穷大》。 《天才引导的历程》,让我真正喜欢上了数学。 真的非常震撼,希波克拉底的新月形面积,欧几里得的《几何原本》,超越人类两千年的阿基米德,赫伦三角公式,卡尔达...
評分推荐给所有喜欢思考的人,无论喜欢或不喜欢数学。从第一章希波克拉底的补形法开始,你会发现不需要多少深厚的数学背景,你也同样可以领会数学的奥妙与优美。 这本书介绍了数学史最重要的一些定理与证明过程。每一章都围绕着一个定理展开。作者一般先介绍在该定理发现之前,数...
