The Universe in Zero Words pdf epub mobi 圖書描述

Most popular books about science, and even about mathematics, tiptoe around equations as if they were something to be hidden from the reader's tender eyes. Dana Mackenzie starts from the opposite premise: He celebrates equations. No history of art would be complete without pictures. Why, then, should a history of mathematics - the universal language of science - keep the masterpieces of the subject hidden behind a veil? "The Universe in Zero Words" tells the history of twenty-four great and beautiful equations that have shaped mathematics, science, and society - from the elementary (1+1=2) to the sophisticated (the Black-Scholes formula for financial derivatives), and from the famous (E=mc2) to the arcane (Hamilton's quaternion equations). Mackenzie, who has been called 'a popular-science ace' by Booklist magazine, lucidly explains what each equation means, who discovered it (and how), and how it has affected our lives. Illustrated in color throughout, the book tells the human and often-surprising stories behind the invention or discovery of the equations, from how a bad cigar changed the course of quantum mechanics to why whales (if they could communicate with us) would teach us a totally different concept of geometry. At the same time, the book shows why these equations have something timeless to say about the universe, and how they do it with an economy (zero words) that no other form of human expression can match. "The Universe in Zero Words" is the ultimate introduction and guide to equations that have changed the world.

評分

文/李維安 一個人最專注的時候是從事自己感興趣的事情的時候。而當你每每讀到一本好書,也會吸引你的全部注意力。如果當你得到一本自己喜愛領域的好書的時候,我想你會對它愛不釋手。 最初看到《無言的宇宙》這本書的時候,是基於一個偶然的機會。作為一名數學專業的...  

評分

在我的奧數還有點成績的時候,對學數學其實是自負又熱愛的。課本沒有挑戰性,就想從其他地方覓點新奇有趣的。 某年暑假路過書城,一時興起買瞭本英國人寫的《數學史》,迴傢讀瞭過半就束之高閣。我猜想那應該是本好書,寫的是正統數學史,脈絡也清晰,奈何對中學時代的我而言...  

評分

雖然閱讀過程中因為數學都忘得差不多瞭,好多地方查瞭資料纔很辛苦地勉強理解,但是相較於得到的快樂,這點努力簡直太劃算瞭! (經常看得滿頭問號哈哈哈哈) 之前讀特德·薑的科幻短篇沒能理解的地方,也部分地在這本科普讀物裏得到瞭解答。比如歐拉定理為什麼是“有史以來最...  

評分

這本書是捨友買的,我就拿來看瞭幾眼就發現停不下來,一口氣兩三天就把它看完瞭。之後開始各種找以前的數學書和去圖書館藉數學書看開始準備將數學作為一門終身學習的知識。 又開始喜歡數學瞭,尤其是自己發現的曆程,原來不需要老師所謂的高智商或者自視甚高的人口裏說的那種故...  

評分

無言的宇宙完結撒花 真的是一本帶來的驚喜與痛苦同樣多的書「來自考過16分物理的同學的感慨」 晚與師妹討論時說,在我們認知的具象化的世界中,數學是物理的工具,而當認知超齣我們所能想象的世界「邊界」時,卻是數學在發揮作用。 到目前所受的教育來說,數學所帶來的聯想是「...
