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
伟大的天才,美妙的定理;完整的脉络,深刻的背景;清晰的逻辑,流畅的文笔。 内容: 阿基米德的积分方法,海伦公式的证明;牛顿、莱布尼茨、伯努利、欧拉对级数的计算;康托比较无穷集的方法等。 感想: 引用其他书友的感受:原来教科书上那些看似简单的定理甚至定义,是几代...
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...

评分从收到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,...
数学史上课的教材,列子很易懂~
评分Inspiring! Fabulous!
评分why didn't i know about this book when i was a high schooler..
