具体描述
In "Love and Math," Berkeley professor Edward Frenkel shows that mathematics, far from occupying a specialist niche, goes to the heart of all matter and unites us across cultures, continents, and centuries. In this heartfelt and passionate book, Frenkel reveals a side of mathematics we've never seen, suffused with all the beauty and wonder of a work of art, appealing not only to the cerebral, but to the human and the spiritual.
"Love and Math" tells two intertwined stories: of amazing mathematics and of the journey of one young man learning and living it. Growing up in Russia, Frenkel was denied entrance to university to study mathematics because of discriminatory policies. Yet with the help of his mentors he circumvented the system to become one of the twenty-first century's leading mathematicians. He now works on one of the biggest ideas to come out of mathematics in the last 50 years: the Langlands Program, considered by many to be a Grand Unified Theory of Mathematics.
While most people are not blocked from studying mathematics, many see it as being impenetrable, or worse, irrelevant to their lives. At its core, "Love and Math" is a story about gaining entry to the previously inaccessible, which can enrich our lives and empower us to understand better the world and our place in it. It is an invitation to discover the wonders of the hidden universe of mathematics.

##看這本書的時機很對，上學期剛上完抽代，對書中所介紹的內容也大都熟知/有大概認識。不過對我來說最值得看的部分倒不是關於數學本身的部分，而是作者神奇的經歷⋯
评分##澎湃！
评分##去年在机场闲逛买下的书，为的是他的封面和名称。断断续续的读来感觉这本书的内容可能会被严肃数学学生深深吐糟，但是对于我这种半吊子工科生来说实在是很适合当作等车时的闲暇读物啊。
评分##Frenkel传奇的半生。这里面的科普，行外人是看不懂的吧

评分##一半传记一半科普。更喜欢传记的部分，没想到苏联曾经还对犹太人有那么多限制。主题是Langlands program，在科普中也是独一无二的（这东西实在是超级重要）。总体还是挺好的PS：作者怎么说也是这个方向的领军人物之一，结果主页的个人照片搞得像明星似的= =PPS：数学和物理的科普的书一直看得不多，因为总觉得那种用生活语言描述出来的东西，和自己真正严格去学是完全是两个感觉。
