具體描述
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.

##專業的鼕鼕完全看不懂。看完的第一本mobi格式的書。
評分##頭一次看到有關於數學的科普書來解釋Langlands program, 或者準備一點兒說，是關於geometric langlands program的，很喜歡書裏提到的那封A. Weil寫給他妹妹的信，記得原來讀E.Frenkle的那篇lecture note時候就有提到這個，特彆有共鳴
評分##去年在機場閑逛買下的書，為的是他的封麵和名稱。斷斷續續的讀來感覺這本書的內容可能會被嚴肅數學學生深深吐糟，但是對於我這種半吊子工科生來說實在是很適閤當作等車時的閑暇讀物啊。
評分##2014-10-24 在讀 2015-02-28 讀完 有些傳記成分有些科普，書裏麵的物理解釋比某些國産專業書還專業，而且這還是寫數學的
評分##A quick and fun read
評分##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，知道瞭猶太人在蘇聯想受數學物理的高等教育真是難。科普方麵，我真的很努力試圖讀懂，一開始還好，後麵就完全不懂瞭，跳過瞭科普部份。對數學感興趣的人可以一讀，文字很白開水特好讀。
評分##A good motivation for studying math.
評分##澎湃！
評分##獨特的數學傢作品。作者從早年作為蘇聯猶太人受歧視講起，把他走上數學研究道路的過程娓娓道來，以他拍的一部電影收尾。作者很瞭不起的一點是：他不僅在朗蘭茲綱領的研究中取得瞭很大的進展，而且努力讓普羅大眾瞭解數學的美和趣味。
