具体描述
Shing-Tung Yau is the William Caspar Graustein Professor of Mathematics at Harvard University. He has been awarded a Fields Medal, a MacArthur Fellowship, a National Medal of Science, the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, the Crafoord Prize, the Veblen Prize, and other honors.
Steve Nadis is a science writer and contributing editor to Astronomy and Discover magazines.
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.

##在数学界，美籍华裔数学家丘成桐的名字可谓如雷贯耳。他的名字，总是跟数学领域的大奖紧密联系，比如菲尔兹奖、沃尔夫奖、克劳福德奖，完成了数学界的“全满贯”，甚至还有物理学界的马塞尔·格罗斯曼奖，演绎了“数而优则物”的美谈，并被《纽约时报》称赞为“数学皇帝”。然...
评分##丘成桐《我的几何人生》自传全方位展示了他做学问的方法，同时也展示了家庭、阅读、生存规则等对他做学问的影响。 但是，这些内容分散到了各个章节，本文的任务是将这些内容的要点提炼出来，便于学习和效仿。 丘成桐做学问的方法 （1）注重问题的提出，并且还注重问题产生的背...
评分##亲情总在港台，成就总在美国，恩怨总在大陆。
评分 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
评分##内行看门道，外行看热闹。这本书对从学生时代起就视数学为洪水猛兽的我而言，最感兴趣的是作者书中爆出的各种“瓜”。 一、关于作者 父亲丘镇英，广东省梅州市[蕉岭县]文福镇白湖村人，厦门大学教授；母亲梁若琳，梅州历史上最后一位秀才梁伯聪之女，书香闺秀。夫妇二人共育2子...
评分##1 不知道是不是大约十年前Yau和Nadis的那本《The shape of inner space》反响不错，随后Yau又和Nadis合作写了这本《The shape of my life》。如果说第一本算是一本关于Calabi-Yau和string theory的科普之作，那么这一本就完完全全是一本关于Yau的自传。当然，以Yau波澜壮阔的经...
