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.
##講laglands綱領的科普書,穿插著講作者本人的追夢故事。估計有一大半熱愛數學的人都是在陰差陽錯一瞬間從對數學無感到喜歡的吧,而這種熱愛怕是一旦燃起就無法熄滅。數學實在太美好瞭——數學知識如此深奧,精緻,美好,但可供任何人隨時取用,並非那些“受過良好教育的少數人”的專利。
評分##Frenkel傳奇的半生。這裏麵的科普,行外人是看不懂的吧
評分##澎湃!

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##作者毫不猶豫的將自己的研究原汁原味的展現, 因為數學之愛能衝破所有的障礙

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。
