英国著名神学家和小说家,以科幻小说《平面国》闻名于世...
Over a hundred years ago, Edwin Abbott Abbott wrote a mathematical adventure set in a two-dimensional plane world, populated by a hierarchical society of regular geometrical figures-who think and speak and have all too human emotions. Since then Flatland has fascinated generations of readers, becoming a perennial science-fiction favorite. By imagining the contact of beings from different dimensions, the author fully exploited the power of the analogy between the limitations of humans and those of his two-dimensional characters.</p>
A first-rate fictional guide to the concept of multiple dimensions of space, the book will also appeal to those who are interested in computer graphics. This field, which literally makes higher dimensions seeable, has aroused a new interest in visualization. We can now manipulate objects in four dimensions and observe their three-dimensional slices tumbling on the computer screen. But how do we interpret these images? In his introduction, Thomas Banchoff points out that there is no better way to begin exploring the problem of understanding higher-dimensional slicing phenomena than reading this classic novel of the Victorian era.</p>
焦建/文 上完中学的几何课程之后,除了对数学有兴趣的人,估计不会有太多人还对于平面和纬度产生兴趣。作为一种理解更加艰深知识的工具,这些概念被当做一种学习的跳板。我们都记得的公理是——点移动成线,线移动成面,面移动成体。立体图形成为学习的核心,除此之外,其他的...
评分通过假想构建一个世界,并且通过细节勾画使之可信,这点可追美《1984》。这部小说也勾起我对许多年前的哲学思考的一些回忆,当时还和同学讨论另一种存在形式的可能性,也许是能量式、波式或概念式或我们完全不知道的一种存在。作者通过空间形式的转变,创造出这样一种存在,十...
评分 评分 评分不知道是外国人想象力太丰富,还是我们想象力太贫乏,怎么人家就能写得出这种小说来,我们就一辈子循规蹈矩地思考呢?
就是这本,我记错了了,中文翻译是平面国,不是平面世界。一场二维世界的数学旅行,全是各种几何人物,线段啦、圆啦......,然后莫名出现了一个不明者,很好玩,不剧透啦
评分看看
评分恐怕这辈子都想象不出来四维空间的物体是什么样
评分讽刺的部分具体对象是什么不是太清楚
