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 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
我一向不抵触数学,但谈不上喜欢它。 这本书的扉页上写着“它会让热爱数学的人体会到绝处逢生的喜悦,让讨厌数学的人从此爱上数学。”我觉得不然,它并不是一本魔法书,把讨厌的情感变为喜欢。它只是向我们展示了数学最本质的美丽,而这种美,从来都是在的。它藏匿于一道道使我...
评分这本书我买了四年了。 是一位朋友当时向我推荐了一列书单,我也没仔细看,就照着书单从网上一一买了回来。这本书我没看到新书,还是在孔夫子买的九成新。 书送到了,我拆开包装随手翻看的时候,当即傻眼了!电光火石之间我只看到各种几何图形各种方程式,已知未知XYZ,简直哭...
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。 ...
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...
