Nobel Laureate Eugene Wigner once wondered about "the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics" in the formulation of the laws of nature. Is God a Mathematician? investigates why mathematics is as powerful as it is. From ancient times to the present, scientists and philosophers have marveled at how such a seemingly abstract discipline could so perfectly explain the natural world. More than that -- mathematics has often made predictions, for example, about subatomic particles or cosmic phenomena that were unknown at the time, but later were proven to be true. Is mathematics ultimately invented or discovered? If, as Einstein insisted, mathematics is "a product of human thought that is independent of experience," how can it so accurately describe and even predict the world around us? Mathematicians themselves often insist that their work has no practical effect. The British mathematician G. H. Hardy went so far as to describe his own work this way: "No discovery of mine has made, or is likely to make, directly or indirectly, for good or ill, the least difference to the amenity of the world." He was wrong. The Hardy-Weinberg law allows population geneticists to predict how genes are transmitted from one generation to the next, and Hardy's work on the theory of numbers found unexpected implications in the development of codes. Physicist and author Mario Livio brilliantly explores mathematical ideas from Pythagoras to the present day as he shows us how intriguing questions and ingenious answers have led to ever deeper insights into our world. This fascinating book will interest anyone curious about the human mind, the scientific world, and the relationship between them.

对于学过微积分随机过程各种代数几何的学生而言,一直没读过像这种讲数学的big picture的书。当我看到笛卡尔坐标系把代数和几何完美地结合在一起的时候,心里真的很是激动。就感觉从小到大学的数学那些点点都被连接成了线,很好的结合在了一起。 这本我觉得挺难的,尤其是最后...

著名的英国牛津大学数学物理学家罗杰·彭罗斯(Roger Penrose)意识到,人类周围不仅有一个世界,而应该有三个神秘世界。 按彭罗斯的划分,这三个世界是:意识感知的世界、物理现实的世界和数学形式的柏拉图世界。 第一个世界是我们所有精神影像的家园,包括我们看到自己孩子笑...

这本书很好的介绍了数学史上的一些内容,包括数学的一些历史以及一些数学背后的哲学思想。 千万不要不要被这本书的名字所吓倒,这本书里其实没有什么晦涩难懂的数学证明,连公式都没有。但是还是有很值得一读的内容的,书中的思想在我这样看过莫里斯克莱因的相关作品的人看来,...

Mathematics is the language with which God wrote the Universe. —-Galileo Galilei There is something very mathematical about our universe. The more carefully we look at our universe, the more mathematics we seem to find. From financial modeling, weather f...

这本书中,作者想澄清这两个问题:数学的本质,以及数学和物质世界、人类思维之间关系的本质。它不是一本包罗万象的数学史,而是按照数学中的一些关键概念的演化过程来组织结构,这些概念可以有效帮助我们认识数学的本质,同时作者引经据典,传奇的历史人物和神秘的古老传...
