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.

為瞭更精確地理解書名所要傳達的含義,請允許我寫下英文原版的書名《The Man Who know Infinity: A Life of the Genius Ramanujan》。 提及拉馬努金,我們更多地將涉及宗教與神。他曾說過:“一個方程如果不能錶達神的旨意,對我而言就完全沒有意義。”他是一個天纔,他的很多...
評分 評分卡尼格爾無疑是一等一的傳記作傢。 書名The man who knew infinity,譯為“知無涯者”。無涯之界,是屬神的疆域。拉馬努金33年的人生,曾經觸摸到過多高多遠的地方,從他留下的零碎精巧而不知來處的足印,我們所知所能評價的是否仍是冰山一角。 作為一個正統婆羅門,拉馬努金...
評分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。
