"The Calculus of Friendship" is the story of an extraordinary connection between a teacher and a student, as chronicled through more than thirty years of letters between them. What makes their relationship unique is that it is based almost entirely on a shared love of calculus. For them, calculus is more than a branch of mathematics; it is a game they love playing together, a constant when all else is in flux. The teacher goes from the prime of his career to retirement, competes in whitewater kayaking at the international level, and loses a son. The student matures from high school math whiz to Ivy League professor, suffers the sudden death of a parent, and blunders into a marriage destined to fail. Yet through it all they take refuge in the haven of calculus - until a day comes when calculus is no longer enough. Like calculus itself, "The Calculus of Friendship" is an exploration of change. It's about the transformation that takes place in a student's heart, as he and his teacher reverse roles, as they age, as they are buffeted by life itself. Written by a renowned teacher and communicator of mathematics, "The Calculus of Friendship" is warm, intimate, and deeply moving. The most inspiring ideas of calculus, differential equations, and chaos theory are explained through metaphors, images, and anecdotes in a way that all readers will find beautiful, and even poignant. Math enthusiasts, from high school students to professionals, will delight in the offbeat problems and lucid explanations in the letters. For anyone whose life has been changed by a mentor, "The Calculus of Friendship" will be an unforgettable journey.

這是非綫性動力係統大師steven strogatz09年的一本半自傳性質的書籍,他講述瞭自己跟高中數學老師偉大的友誼,而這份友誼的連接點就是關於不同微積分的題目。因為自己是大學數學老師,所以讀瞭這本書以後深深的感受到數學的魅力和生活的無常。 作者開門見山的支齣,過去的30年,自己婚姻失敗瞭,Joff(Steven的高中老師)的兒子也早年去世,人間各種高高低低都經曆過,但是唯一不變的是跟Joff關於微積分問題的30年的書信來往。 如果沒有任何數學背景,書中的有些關於微積分的問題可能過於復雜。因為很多從現實中齣發的問題,轉換成為一個數學問題,這中間涉及的思想和解題技巧不一定那麼顯而易見。 對於數學愛好者,強烈推薦!

評分"The best student any teacher could have-someone w/ perfect preparation and an evident sense of delight and gratitude. He confronts them all, with his mind but also his heart." side note: MIT math dept was really "cold" in the author's memory. Getting tenure requires skillful negotiation.
