G. H. Hardy was one of this century's finest mathematical thinkers, renowned among his contemporaries as a 'real mathematician the purest of the pure'. He was also, as C. P. Snow recounts in his Foreword, 'unorthodox, eccentric, radical, ready to talk about anything'. This 'apology', written in 1940 as his mathematical powers were declining, offers a brilliant and engaging account of mathematics as very much more than a science; when it was first published, Graham Greene hailed it alongside Henry James's notebooks as 'the best account of what it was like to be a creative artist'. C. P. Snow's Foreword gives sympathetic and witty insights into Hardy's life, with its rich store of anecdotes concerning his collaboration with the brilliant Indian mathematician Ramanujan, his aphorisms and idiosyncrasies, and his passion for cricket. This is a unique account of the fascination of mathematics and of one of its most compelling exponents in modern times.

评分英国大数学家哈代（Godfrey Harold Hardy）写过一本叫《一个数学家的辩白》（A Mathematician's Apology）的小书，至今亦广为流传，可惜我孤陋寡闻，上了大学才知道：那时刚上大学，喜欢吹水的小舟老师经常会在课堂上大谈数学的好处以及他的个人经历，这就正如哈代在书中所说的...
评分第一次i听说Hardy的这本书是在Du Sautoy的Finding Moonshine。在介绍反证法的时候，Du Sautoy引用Hardy对比数学和象棋技巧的一句话，“It is a far finer gambit than any chess gambit: a chess player may offer the sacrifice of a pawn or even a piece, but a mathematici...
