The true story of a mathematical mystery, a million-dollar prize, and the fate of genius in today's world.
In 2006, an eccentric Russian genius named Grigori Perelman solved Poincare's Conjecture, one of seven great unsolved mathamatical mysteries, the solution to any of which the Clay Institute, founded by Boston businessman Landon Clay in 2000 to promote mathematics, promised a million-dollar prize. It is widely expected that the first Clay Prize will be awarded to Perelman in October 2009, and it is equally widely expected that he will decline it. Why?
Masha Gessen set out to find out. In the manner of Nabokov's Real Life of Sebastian Knight , or more recently and accessibly, Sylvia Nasar's A Beautiful Mind , or even Elizabeth Gilbert's The Last American Man , Gessen explores the nature of Perelma's mind and the reasons for his unusual, increasingly isolated behavior.
Drawing on interviews with Perelman's teachers, classmates, coaches, teammates, and colleagues in Russia and the US, Gessen has constructed a gripping and tragic tale that sheds rare light on the nature of genius in the modern world.

首先必須說明的是,本書的主人公佩雷爾曼不僅僅是一位智力超常者,同時也是一位人格超常者。佩雷爾曼確實無愧於數學大師的稱號,他幾乎就是為數學而生,數學以外的東西就像被過濾掉瞭一樣,都無法擠占他已完全屬於數學的大腦。破解世界數學七大難題之一——證明“龐加萊...
評分 評分讀這本書是因為下學期要到莫斯科去讀數學,偶爾從新聞裏看到有關於佩雷爾曼的書齣版,之前看過一些Terence Tao博客上相關的course notes。收到的時候我沒想到是一本能夠讀下去的書。大部分數學傢的傳記都很平實,普通,和一般人的文字沒有多少不同。這本相對來說富於感情,有...
評分本人是學數學的,看這本書主要是瞭解一些八卦罷瞭。但是我想說,書後半部分對圍繞龐加萊猜想的爭議及對佩雷爾曼本人的一些判斷還是有些不恰當的,正如很多人對數學界、數學傢常有的偏見一樣,而且裏麵的某些揣測顯得過於惡意瞭。 八卦部分有:關於柯爾莫哥洛夫與(拓撲的)亞...
評分昨天讀完這本書,很失望。除瞭一些細節內容外,如田剛和Perelman良好關係以及Princeton求賢獻媚的態度,這本書乾貨(數學價值)太少瞭。暢銷書作者寫的非第一手學術傳記還是少看為好。關於Perelman,他是個天纔,同時又很精明,本質上與Andre Wiles是同一類型,對自己研究都諱...

評分在讀這本書以前一直是很支持Yau的。現在看來好像Tian在此事中更正麵一些。但可能也是作者的偏見吧。無論如何讓我對某些事有瞭更新的認識值得推薦。
