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.
用户评价
##独特的数学家作品。作者从早年作为苏联犹太人受歧视讲起，把他走上数学研究道路的过程娓娓道来，以他拍的一部电影收尾。作者很了不起的一点是：他不仅在朗兰兹纲领的研究中取得了很大的进展，而且努力让普罗大众了解数学的美和趣味。
评分##A quick and fun read
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##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。

评分##an analogy: geometric Langlands abstracted from algebraic Langlands
评分##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##如果不能理解langlands纲领的重要性，在纯数学或是理论物理这种行当，恐怕会被前沿的领军人物越甩越远。
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。
