Millions have seen the movie and thousands have read the book but few have fully appreciated the mathematics developed by John Nash's beautiful mind. Today Nash's beautiful math has become a universal language for research in the social sciences and has infiltrated the realms of evolutionary biology, neuroscience, and even quantum physics. John Nash won the 1994 Nobel Prize in economics for pioneering research published in the 1950s on a new branch of mathematics known as game theory. At the time of Nash's early work, game theory was briefly popular among some mathematicians and Cold War analysts. But it remained obscure until the 1970s when evolutionary biologists began applying it to their work. In the 1980s economists began to embrace game theory. Since then it has found an ever expanding repertoire of applications among a wide range of scientific disciplines. Today neuroscientists peer into game players' brains, anthropologists play games with people from primitive cultures, biologists use games to explain the evolution of human language, and mathematicians exploit games to better understand social networks. A common thread connecting much of this research is its relevance to the ancient quest for a science of human social behavior, or "a Code of Nature," in the spirit of the fictional science of psychohistory described in the famous Foundation novels by the late Isaac Asimov. In A Beautiful Math, acclaimed science writer Tom Siegfried describes how game theory links the life sciences, social sciences, and physical sciences in a way that may bring Asimov's dream closer to reality.

讀後感
这本书没有什么让人特别耳目一新的论点，也不准备在前瞻性方面作出什么贡献，但是作为一本科普书，无疑是优秀的。我学习过博弈论导论，粗粗涉猎过计算机科学，受过经济学科班训练，也对物理有一些兴趣，这本书找到这些领域的内在联系，意图用博弈论来联合这些科学。我不是大牛...
評分最近几天一直在读一部数学方面的书。a beautiful math。 主要讲的是nash 的 game theory及其影响。 Game Theory其实国内都多多少少听说过， 但通常的介绍也就到囚徒困境而己。 这部书的的写法更像是一部科技和文化史。 它上到亚当斯密，达尔文，牛顿，maxwell，高斯，下到...

用戶評價
整本書把所有博弈論有關的學科全部扯到瞭，雖然淺顯，但是作為科普讀物，必須給作者點贊啊。最後一部分最精彩，將量子計算、概率學和博弈論結閤起來討論。
评分博弈論發展史呀。。。
评分略簡陋……
评分同樣寫Nash，Nasar和Siegfried能拿來賣錢，我雞隻能拿來賣逼，還賣不上個好價錢——難道title要冠以“人人網著名意領、豆瓣首頁紅人、中國華僑齣版社簽約作傢”之名？
评分博弈論發展史呀。。。
