The Best of All Possible Worlds 2024 pdf epub mobi 电子书
这书不仅仅是“非常好”三个字可以形容的,更贴切的应该是“非常有范儿”。从第一个字开始作者就展现出睥睨天下的王霸之气,每句话都透着浓浓的‘看了我这句你就能增加二十年修为“的感觉——当然这可绝对不是黑。 ----------------------- 以下贴笔记 ----------------------...
评分我以为会是讲概率论和最优化的,结果是最优化源流。第一、二、七、八、九、十章都是我非常熟悉的领域和话题,并且在第七章及以后写作过于散乱。严格来说本书值得关注的是第三~六章,详细介绍了最小作用量原理-稳定作用量原理的数学物理演变史,更有趣一些。 贯穿全书的理念之争...

Optimists believe this is the best of all possible worlds. And pessimists fear that might really be the case. But what is the best of all possible worlds? How do we define it? This question has preoccupied philosophers and theologians for ages, but there was a time, during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, when scientists and mathematicians felt they could provide the answer. This book is their story. Ivar Ekeland here takes the reader on a journey through scientific attempts to envision the best of all possible worlds. He begins with the French physicist Maupertuis, whose least action principle, Ekeland shows, was a pivotal breakthrough in mathematics, because it was the first expression of the concept of optimization, or the creation of systems that are the most efficient or functional. Tracing the profound impact of optimization and the unexpected ways in which it has influenced the study of mathematics, biology, economics, and even politics, Ekeland reveals how the idea has driven some of our greatest intellectual breakthroughs. The result is a dazzling display of erudition - one that will be essential reading for popular-science buffs and historians of science alike.
前半部偏数学物理学哲学,后半部转向生物学经济学社会学。四星打给前半部。
