G. H. Hardy was one of this century's finest mathematical thinkers, renowned among his contemporaries as a 'real mathematician the purest of the pure'. He was also, as C. P. Snow recounts in his Foreword, 'unorthodox, eccentric, radical, ready to talk about anything'. This 'apology', written in 1940 as his mathematical powers were declining, offers a brilliant and engaging account of mathematics as very much more than a science; when it was first published, Graham Greene hailed it alongside Henry James's notebooks as 'the best account of what it was like to be a creative artist'. C. P. Snow's Foreword gives sympathetic and witty insights into Hardy's life, with its rich store of anecdotes concerning his collaboration with the brilliant Indian mathematician Ramanujan, his aphorisms and idiosyncrasies, and his passion for cricket. This is a unique account of the fascination of mathematics and of one of its most compelling exponents in modern times.
▪ 正如哈代在《一个数学家的辩白》中所写的,在他的数学家名单中:"伽罗瓦(galois)21岁去世,阿贝尔(abel)27岁去世,拉 纽扬33岁去世,黎曼40岁……我不知道有哪一个重要的数学进展是由一个年过半百的人创始的。" ▪ 他像年轻人一样充满活力,他网球比以前打得更多,技艺...
评分英国大数学家哈代(Godfrey Harold Hardy)写过一本叫《一个数学家的辩白》(A Mathematician's Apology)的小书,至今亦广为流传,可惜我孤陋寡闻,上了大学才知道:那时刚上大学,喜欢吹水的小舟老师经常会在课堂上大谈数学的好处以及他的个人经历,这就正如哈代在书中所说的...

评分从小读书,所有科目里面最好的一直是数学,直到进了Winchester,身边突然冒出一堆数学天才。从那时起数学课就成了折磨,成天听着APM讲他最爱的概率问题(永远是拿曼联对利物浦的足球赛当例子)却根本不知所云,貌似最简单的数学题要问上身边的NP几十遍还不会做。想起NIPM曾讲过...
评分想看此书的读者最好作如下两个选择:1。看原版(湖南科学技术出版社有,不过那书把目录里的序言作者名字写错了,唉……),体会一下HARDY的英文水平;2。看李文林教授的翻译版本(有个出版社出了系列的数学大家文选),脱离数学大环境单纯阅读文本有些味道就体会不出来了。 ...
