William Dunham,俄亥俄州立大學碩士和博士畢業,現為美國穆倫堡學院教授,世界知名的數學史專傢。他分彆於1992年、1997年、2006年獲得美國數學協會頒發的George Polya奬、Trevor Evans 奬和Lester R. Ford奬。Dunham教授著述頗豐,除本書外,還著有《The Mathematical Universe: An Alphabetical Journey Through the Great Proofs, Problems, and Personalities》(數學那些事兒:思想、發現、人物和曆史)等廣受好評的科普著作。
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

偉大的天纔,美妙的定理;完整的脈絡,深刻的背景;清晰的邏輯,流暢的文筆。 內容: 阿基米德的積分方法,海倫公式的證明;牛頓、萊布尼茨、伯努利、歐拉對級數的計算;康托比較無窮集的方法等。 感想: 引用其他書友的感受:原來教科書上那些看似簡單的定理甚至定義,是幾代...
評分初中時反復讀瞭有七八遍,盡管後麵的章節當時完全沒懂,但前麵幾章的證明及引導實在是太精彩瞭。第一次感受到數學證明其實跟寫文章一樣,一層層闡述,一段段剖析。至今難忘。翻譯的也很棒。 準備搞本英文版的珍藏。

評分很簡約的寫一些數學定理的故事,從最基礎的畢達格拉斯定律到微積分的伯努利定律。不念高等數學已經五年瞭的我竟然還記得有個定律叫伯努利,完全是這本書的功勞。 寫得很簡約,但是引人入勝。

帶我走進數學世界的書。沒想到有一天可以成為Dunham的學生,太榮幸瞭。
