Praise for William Dunham s 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
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。
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《天才引导的历程》豆瓣9.1。这本书是我努力说服自己去读的,因为……它是一本……数学书!不过说是数学书,并不是复杂难懂的数学公式啊,我觉得这种数学书,是目前九年义务教育不敢尝试的数学教学方法。我们现在是把数学当做工具来教孩子的,从来没把数学当做一门学问来教孩子...
评分半年以来,我都在刻意培养自己对数学的兴趣,从《给讨厌数学的人》开始,之后是《从一到无穷大》。 《天才引导的历程》,让我真正喜欢上了数学。 真的非常震撼,希波克拉底的新月形面积,欧几里得的《几何原本》,超越人类两千年的阿基米德,赫伦三角公式,卡尔达...
评分非常高兴你们能重新出版这本书。非常支持! 这本书确实在我的高中时代对我产生了很大影响,我高中时候在四川,那时候看到《天才引导的历程》这本书,让我对数学非常神往,高考时志愿几乎全是数学系。我认为这个世界上第一流的天才都是数学家,第一流的发现是数学上...
评分我认为最适合高中生阅读,我敢保证第一遍读完之后你会觉得震撼无比 当然,对数学的源流有兴趣的成年人也可以静下心来好好读一读,你会发现,数学或许真的是这么美好,跟从小到大所认识的静止的,无趣的,枯燥而不可置疑的数学是如此的不同,而开始觉得这个世界是如此的奇妙。 ...
