具体描述
A Fields medalist recounts his lifelong transnational effort to uncover the geometric shape—the Calabi-Yau manifold—that may store the hidden dimensions of our universe.
Harvard geometer and Fields medalist Shing-Tung Yau has provided a mathematical foundation for string theory, offered new insights into black holes, and mathematically demonstrated the stability of our universe. In this autobiography, Yau reflects on his improbable journey to becoming one of the world’s most distinguished mathematicians. Beginning with an impoverished childhood in China and Hong Kong, Yau takes readers through his doctoral studies at Berkeley during the height of the Vietnam War protests, his Fields Medal–winning proof of the Calabi conjecture, his return to China, and his pioneering work in geometric analysis. This new branch of geometry, which Yau built up with his friends and colleagues, has paved the way for solutions to several important and previously intransigent problems. With complicated ideas explained for a broad audience, this book offers readers not only insights into the life of an eminent mathematician, but also an accessible way to understand advanced and highly abstract concepts in mathematics and theoretical physics.

##丘老真是为八卦而生???? 适合对几何感兴趣但是看不懂偏微分方程的读者 ｜走下神坛的陈省身华罗庚 ｜cameo:丁石孙
评分##私货太多，不过料也确实很多
评分##看到有人说这个书spicy 感觉说得很对...
评分##亲情总在港台，成就总在美国，恩怨总在大陆。
评分相比起中文版的阉割以及字词上的扭曲，原文提供了更为丰富详实的案例，其表述方式也更为直接、不着修饰。
评分##惊讶于知乎上竟然没人提这本书，以至于我只知道那本《大宇之形》......中国学数学的不是最爱聊丘、华、陈、杨这些人的八卦么......
评分##亲情总在港台，成就总在美国，恩怨总在大陆。
评分##在香港的贫穷出身和幸运又不幸运的成长经历十分令人赞叹。。从刚落地美国全身心投入数学研究到逐渐平衡工作生活却依旧热爱科研再到尽力推动数学教育的转变 真的是很完美、很有成就的数学生涯！以及能感觉到丘老因为坚持原则（？）一辈子得罪了不少人 能把这么多结仇的故事写进书里也是蛮八卦的 lol
