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,俄亥俄州立大學碩士和博士畢業,現為美國穆倫堡學院教授,世界知名的數學史專傢。他分彆於1992年、1997年、2006年獲得美國數學協會頒發的George Polya奬、Trevor Evans 奬和Lester R. Ford奬。Dunham教授著述頗豐,除本書外,還著有《The Mathematical Universe: An Alphabetical Journey Through the Great Proofs, Problems, and Personalities》(數學那些事兒:思想、發現、人物和曆史)等廣受好評的科普著作。
數學是我的弱項,雖然初中當瞭三年數學課代錶,但是,考試分數總是在及格綫徘徊,不是不努力,而是實在無感。不知道哪天腦子一熱,想迴爐一下數學。彆人推薦瞭威廉·鄧納姆的《天纔引導的曆程》。這個書名,看起來有些雞湯,不能完全地代錶本書的價值。 對於菜鳥來說...

評分偉大的天纔,美妙的定理;完整的脈絡,深刻的背景;清晰的邏輯,流暢的文筆。 內容: 阿基米德的積分方法,海倫公式的證明;牛頓、萊布尼茨、伯努利、歐拉對級數的計算;康托比較無窮集的方法等。 感想: 引用其他書友的感受:原來教科書上那些看似簡單的定理甚至定義,是幾代...
評分很簡約的寫一些數學定理的故事,從最基礎的畢達格拉斯定律到微積分的伯努利定律。不念高等數學已經五年瞭的我竟然還記得有個定律叫伯努利,完全是這本書的功勞。 寫得很簡約,但是引人入勝。
評分我一嚮不抵觸數學,但談不上喜歡它。 這本書的扉頁上寫著“它會讓熱愛數學的人體會到絕處逢生的喜悅,讓討厭數學的人從此愛上數學。”我覺得不然,它並不是一本魔法書,把討厭的情感變為喜歡。它隻是嚮我們展示瞭數學最本質的美麗,而這種美,從來都是在的。它藏匿於一道道使我...
