A Mathematician's Apology pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
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.
今天读了哈代《一个数学家的自白》,一些想法挺有意思的,记录一下: 1)政治家藐视政论家,画家看不起艺术评论家...;解释,评判,欣赏都是二流头脑干的事情。 2)正如历史所证明的那样,不管其内在价值如何,在所有成就中,数学的成就是最持久的。(巴比伦文明消散,但60进...
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。 ...
评分书读到一半,并没有像一些人说的哈代是个高傲的人的感觉,也许是英文功夫不够没有读出太多的鄙视之“情”,又也许是我本人不是学数学的缘故。 不过讲无理数和工程师的那句话让我感觉到了哈代的幽默感。也的确是看不起我们搞工程的吧,“大概大概就好”,呵呵。 最后,哈代给我...
评分第一次i听说Hardy的这本书是在Du Sautoy的Finding Moonshine。在介绍反证法的时候,Du Sautoy引用Hardy对比数学和象棋技巧的一句话,“It is a far finer gambit than any chess gambit: a chess player may offer the sacrifice of a pawn or even a piece, but a mathematici...
