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
William Dunham,俄亥俄州立大学硕士和博士毕业,现为美国穆伦堡学院教授,世界知名的数学史专家。他分别于1992年、1997年、2006年获得美国数学协会颁发的George Polya奖、Trevor Evans 奖和Lester R. Ford奖。Dunham教授著述颇丰,除本书外,还著有《The Mathematical Universe: An Alphabetical Journey Through the Great Proofs, Problems, and Personalities》(数学那些事儿:思想、发现、人物和历史)等广受好评的科普著作。
我一向不抵触数学,但谈不上喜欢它。 这本书的扉页上写着“它会让热爱数学的人体会到绝处逢生的喜悦,让讨厌数学的人从此爱上数学。”我觉得不然,它并不是一本魔法书,把讨厌的情感变为喜欢。它只是向我们展示了数学最本质的美丽,而这种美,从来都是在的。它藏匿于一道道使我...
评分我认为,要学好数学首先要有兴趣,而有兴趣的前提是要学数学史。我们的同学之所以对数学普遍畏惧,是因为我们的数学教科书往往直勾勾、楞柯柯、冷冰冰地盯着你,把你盯到无地自容。而且只要翻开数学教材,里面全是“奉天承运,皇帝诏曰”一样的定义、定理加证明,仿佛这些东西...

评分半年以来,我都在刻意培养自己对数学的兴趣,从《给讨厌数学的人》开始,之后是《从一到无穷大》。 《天才引导的历程》,让我真正喜欢上了数学。 真的非常震撼,希波克拉底的新月形面积,欧几里得的《几何原本》,超越人类两千年的阿基米德,赫伦三角公式,卡尔达...
评分数学是我的弱项,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...
