How could you, a mathematician, believe that extraterrestrials were sending you messages?" the visitor from Harvard asked the West Virginian with the movie-star looks and Olympian manner. "Because the ideas I had about supernatural beings came to me the same way my mathematical ideas did," came the answer. "So I took them seriously." Thus begins the true story of John Nash, the mathematical genius who was a legend by age thirty when he slipped into madness, and who -- thanks to the selflessness of a beautiful woman and the loyalty of the mathematics community -- emerged after decades of ghostlike existence to win a Nobel Prize and world acclaim. The inspiration for a major motion picture, Sylvia Nasar's award-winning biography is a drama about the mystery of the human mind, triumph over incredible adversity, and the healing power of love.
刚看《美丽心灵》这部电影时就觉得很震撼,现在看原著依然觉得很传奇: 纳什在21岁就拓展了博弈论并发表了毕业论文,证明“不管什么游戏,双方都必然会有各自的最优策略”,但是博弈论当时并未受到关注。 而纳什本人更是一直专心于希望能在数学领域有所建树,但是事与愿违,他...
评分小说更详尽更客观,几乎是事无巨细地描述了纳什的生平以及同时代的学术圈,没有同名电影的戏剧化,悬念和煽情(不禁再次佩服朗·霍华德的导演功力)。忽略掉各种学术词汇也能把情节大概看明白。书中纳什偶尔展现的幽默感给我留下了深刻印象,其自大与自负起来和谢耳朵有得一拼...
评分Geniuses, are of two kinds: the ones who are just like all of us, but very much more so, and the ones who, apparently, have an ectra human spark. ----------Paul Halmos
评分 评分个人感觉王则柯先生的评价实在是太真切了,故抄录了下来: 数学家把正无穷大和负无穷大视同为一个无穷远点,从而把无限伸延的实数轴结合成一个圆周,获得数学上宝贵的紧致性,即有限可操作性。如果把天才看作是正无穷大,那么白痴离负无穷大不会太远。纳什就是这么一个生活...
电影超级棒,英文原版还没有看完。
评分应该叫丑陋的心灵 自大 自私 变态 始乱终弃
评分encouraging, touched. Nice to read.
评分纪实的文字读起来还是有点儿费力的~
评分很好的书,可惜当年时间不够。。
