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.
##讲laglands纲领的科普书,穿插着讲作者本人的追梦故事。估计有一大半热爱数学的人都是在阴差阳错一瞬间从对数学无感到喜欢的吧,而这种热爱怕是一旦燃起就无法熄灭。数学实在太美好了——数学知识如此深奥,精致,美好,但可供任何人随时取用,并非那些“受过良好教育的少数人”的专利。

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##Frenkel传奇的半生。这里面的科普,行外人是看不懂的吧
