In 1913, a young unschooled Indian clerk wrote a letter to G H Hardy, begging the pre-eminent English mathematician's opinion on several ideas he had about numbers. Realising the letter was the work of a genius, Hardy arranged for Srinivasa Ramanujan to come to England. Thus began one of the most improbable and productive collaborations ever chronicled. With a passion for rich and evocative detail, Robert Kanigel takes us from the temples and slums of Madras to the courts and chapels of Cambridge University, where the devout Hindu Ramanujan, 'the Prince of Intuition,' tested his brilliant theories alongside the sophisticated and eccentric Hardy, 'the Apostle of Proof'. In time, Ramanujan's creative intensity took its toll: he died at the age of thirty-two and left behind a magical and inspired legacy that is still being plumbed for its secrets today.

說起天纔數學傢就必然會提到拉馬努金,那個讓全世界數學傢都艷羨和抓瘋的印度年輕人,《普林斯頓的幽靈——納什傳》提到過他,《心靈捕手》也提到過,不過我並不想說關於伯樂的部分,我隻想說那些天纔之所以成為大師,是因為他們對於科學或者藝術,是先有love然後纔do。 ...
評分 評分這本書是兩個人的傳記,更記錄瞭拉瑪努金所處的時代,所遇見的人,探究瞭天纔産生的土壤。如果能讀到原版就更好瞭。
