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。
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...
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...
评分以前我是很讨厌数学的,看过这本书后,开始对数学这门学科感兴趣,然后开始疯狂学习,虽然我现在的工作和数学没有关系,但是,数学赋予了我精确地逻辑思维,我感谢数学,我觉得,现在每个学校要普及这本书,这要比简单的填鸭式学习有效得多
评分我认为最适合高中生阅读,我敢保证第一遍读完之后你会觉得震撼无比 当然,对数学的源流有兴趣的成年人也可以静下心来好好读一读,你会发现,数学或许真的是这么美好,跟从小到大所认识的静止的,无趣的,枯燥而不可置疑的数学是如此的不同,而开始觉得这个世界是如此的奇妙。 ...
