具體描述
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.

評分##1. 人類對宇宙和世界的認知還很渺小很微弱，現在的不可能都會證明成為可能 2. 絕頂聰明的科學傢，衣食無憂的聚在一起心無旁騖的相互碰撞互相啓發不斷突破邊界 3. 中國的和平發展拋光養晦的時期來之不易，美國現在的獨霸是由之前50年全世界最聰明的人奠基而來的，中國加油。4. 有人的地方就有江湖有爭鬥有派係，科學界也不例外，中國美國也都不例外
評分##a fun read. some notes: 1. As Yao suggested during a dinner, be the best in your domain, you gonna be connected to the best of other domains, Yau seems to do the exactly the same. 2. do something fundamental; 3. if you don't feel like bending over, get yourself ready to say f**k off (or the other way around);
