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...
评分数学是我的弱项,虽然初中当了三年数学课代表,但是,考试分数总是在及格线徘徊,不是不努力,而是实在无感。不知道哪天脑子一热,想回炉一下数学。别人推荐了威廉·邓纳姆的《天才引导的历程》。这个书名,看起来有些鸡汤,不能完全地代表本书的价值。 对于菜鸟来说...
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...

评分带这本书到办公室,被赞”连这种书都读“,可见封面和书名是多么的不友好……所以,如果不是硬核人士推荐,我八成也不会硬啃,对,对方用的词是”启迪智慧,开启人生方向“,摊手。 其实真的开始看了,发现还是啃得下去的,虽然讲的是硬核数学,每章也都有公式推导,但是我保证...

Praise for William Dunhams 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
Inspiring! Fabulous!
评分作者很给力
评分为什么豆瓣书评归类为数学史?奇怪。本书主题就是论证啊论证。。。
评分强忍住给五星的冲动,因为评论还是太小孩子了些,尽是溢美之词,不够critical。不过,这就是一本科普著作应该有的样子!实在是太赞了,故事和数学的美都是那么吸引人。
评分why didn't i know about this book when i was a high schooler..
