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...
评分数学,不只是数字的运算;数学,不只是枯燥的公式,数学,不只是复杂的推理。数学是科学的窗口,是逻辑的探秘,更是思索的乐趣。这本书不是简单的数学史,也不是在告诉你如何成长为数学家,而是结合历史时代背景来讲述关于数学天才如何发现那些改变数学发展历程的定理。将数学...
评分从收到china-pub的短信推荐到读完这本书,整整一周时间。书中的内容既熟悉又遥远,儿时零散的读物被综合在一本神奇的书中,直接完成了一次对数学的复习与回忆。书中描述的数学之美对于我都是一种回忆,几何与数论,几乎是我儿时最喜欢的,而Σ则是我一直以来的噩梦,无论是n,...
评分自认为是个对于数学史的基本脉络算是有大体了解的人,但是这本《天才引导的历程》还是让我感觉耳目一新。并非是此前对于数学家的个人小传或是他们各自做出的数学成就不了解,而是本书对于“数学的”部分和“关于数学的”部分之间的比例,拿捏得比较到位。G. H. Hardy在他著名的...

Praise for William Dunham s 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
