William Dunham,俄亥俄州立大學碩士和博士畢業,現為美國穆倫堡學院教授,世界知名的數學史專傢。他分彆於1992年、1997年、2006年獲得美國數學協會頒發的George Polya奬、Trevor Evans 奬和Lester R. Ford奬。Dunham教授著述頗豐,除本書外,還著有《The Mathematical Universe: An Alphabetical Journey Through the Great Proofs, Problems, and Personalities》(數學那些事兒:思想、發現、人物和曆史)等廣受好評的科普著作。
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...
評分 評分很简约的写一些数学定理的故事,从最基础的毕达格拉斯定律到微积分的伯努利定律。不念高等数学已经五年了的我竟然还记得有个定律叫伯努利,完全是这本书的功劳。 写得很简约,但是引人入胜。
評分从收到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,...
評分数学是我的弱项,虽然初中当了三年数学课代表,但是,考试分数总是在及格线徘徊,不是不努力,而是实在无感。不知道哪天脑子一热,想回炉一下数学。别人推荐了威廉·邓纳姆的《天才引导的历程》。这个书名,看起来有些鸡汤,不能完全地代表本书的价值。 对于菜鸟来说...
天纔引導的曆程
