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.

##头一次看到有关于数学的科普书来解释Langlands program, 或者准备一点儿说，是关于geometric langlands program的，很喜欢书里提到的那封A. Weil写给他妹妹的信，记得原来读E.Frenkle的那篇lecture note时候就有提到这个，特别有共鸣
评分##A good motivation for studying math.
评分##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##goodreads上的人說得對，這書應該分成兩本：傳記和科普。穿插著寫特別不好看，傳記部分略有趣，知道了猶太人在蘇聯想受數學物理的高等教育真是難。科普方面，我真的很努力試圖讀懂，一開始還好，後面就完全不懂了，跳過了科普部份。對數學感興趣的人可以一讀，文字很白開水特好讀。
评分##专业的冬冬完全看不懂。看完的第一本mobi格式的书。
评分##作者毫不犹豫的将自己的研究原汁原味的展现, 因为数学之爱能冲破所有的障碍
评分##Langlands The Grand Unified Theory：基本粒子分类是SU群，辫子群和DNA，欧拉函数和betti数的关系解释了数论和辫子群，从LANGLANDS角度思考共形场论问题，才能理解场论的本质。黎曼曲面 数论 有限域上的曲线三者等价
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##an analogy: geometric Langlands abstracted from algebraic Langlands
