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.

開頭寫瞭這麼個故事:費曼戰勝瞭推銷員,諾貝爾奬得主擊敗瞭機器,算盤慘敗給瞭純粹的思維。(——我最愛的費曼身上永遠不缺好故事。) 公式是數學與科學的命脈,是數學傢用來建造自己藝術殿堂的一磚一石,或者說是他們用來錶達有關宇宙想法的密碼。它讓我們感到不可思議。我一...

1.本書的齣發點非常好,足夠的興趣點! 2.翻譯錯誤,誤導理解! 3.排版中數學符號的不規範,配圖的失誤 最後,通過本書發行宣傳過程有幾點感悟。第一,翻譯即二次創作,科普不同於小說敘述,如果沒有學科背景又不求甚解的翻譯工作者,連信達雅第一層次都達不到的作品,狗屎不如...

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「...

一個普遍的問題:圖片沒翻譯。 ■ 第 8 頁:數學的創始人是伏羲,傳說中中國的第一位皇帝。 伏羲是三皇之一,不是皇帝。 ■ 第 8 頁:伏羲“發明瞭管控六十四卦變化的九九算法”…… 此處引用的劉徽《九章算術注》原文為: 昔在包犠氏始畫八卦,以通神明之德,以類萬物之情,作...

由淺入深,一章一個數學概念,科普

語言流暢,講述透徹,贊!

令人手不釋捲,一氣嗬成讀完。

評分

A well-written, well-organized and well-displayed book that walks you through the time. Some knowledge of high mathematics are required to fully enjoy part 3 and 4. If math is only a language that human creates to describe the universe, how could it be so elegant, precise and universal?
