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。
Praise for William Dunhams 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
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...
评分7年前,偶然的相遇让我从此离不开这本书,他成了我开始思考人生的最重要的催化剂。不曾完整的读完一遍,因为我觉得在那些大师面前,我粗浅的阅读会亵渎这些经典。但书中让我领略的超过时代的,国界的,种族的数学王国是那样的让人留恋,以致于无论身在何处我都将其随身携带于...
