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

读后感

推荐给所有喜欢思考的人，无论喜欢或不喜欢数学。从第一章希波克拉底的补形法开始，你会发现不需要多少深厚的数学背景，你也同样可以领会数学的奥妙与优美。 这本书介绍了数学史最重要的一些定理与证明过程。每一章都围绕着一个定理展开。作者一般先介绍在该定理发现之前，数...  

这本书我买了四年了。 是一位朋友当时向我推荐了一列书单，我也没仔细看，就照着书单从网上一一买了回来。这本书我没看到新书，还是在孔夫子买的九成新。 书送到了，我拆开包装随手翻看的时候，当即傻眼了！电光火石之间我只看到各种几何图形各种方程式，已知未知XYZ，简直哭...  

《天才引导的历程》豆瓣9.1。这本书是我努力说服自己去读的，因为……它是一本……数学书！不过说是数学书，并不是复杂难懂的数学公式啊，我觉得这种数学书，是目前九年义务教育不敢尝试的数学教学方法。我们现在是把数学当做工具来教孩子的，从来没把数学当做一门学问来教孩子...
