西濛・辛格(Simon Singh)齣生於薩默塞特耶,具有印度旁遮普血統,曾在倫敦帝國學院學習物理,並在劍橋大學獲得粒子物理學博士學位。在BBC電視颱《明日世界》工作5年後,於1996年為《地平綫》係列節目閤作製作和導演瞭關於費馬大定理的獲奬記錄片。
The extraordinary story of the solving of a puzzle that has confounded mathematicians since the 17th century. The solution of Fermat's Last Theorem is the most important mathematical development of the 20th century. In 1963 a schoolboy browsing in his local library stumbled across the world's greatest mathematical problem: Fermat's Last Theorem, a puzzle that every child can understand but which has baffled mathematicians for over 300 years. Aged just ten, Andrew Wiles dreamed that he would crack it. Wiles's lifelong obsession with a seemingly simple challenge set by a long-dead Frenchman is an emotional tale of sacrifice and extraordinary determination. In the end, Wiles was forced to work in secrecy and isolation for seven years, harnessing all the power of modern maths to achieve his childhood dream. Many before him had tried and failed, including a 18-century philanderer who was killed in a duel. An 18-century Frenchwoman made a major breakthrough in solving the riddle, but she had to attend maths lectures at the Ecole Polytechnique disguised as a man since women were forbidden entry to the school. A remarkable story of human endeavour and intellectual brilliance over three centuries, Fermat 's Last Theorem will fascinate both specialist and general readers.
http://towerjoo.github.io/blog/2014/05/10/fermat-last-theorem/ 作为一个理工狗,对于数学的基础意义还是深有体会的,于是也就不会承认自己不喜欢数学,似乎一个明显的 例子是:哥也经常读数学的著作(虽不是专著),例如刚刚读完的《费马大定理》,还有书架上蒙灰的《数学...
評分以前我就是个不太喜欢数学的人,确切的说是讨厌那些很烦琐的计算。这本书我看的是PDF格式的,其实早就下载好了的,只是没去看,那天拿来一看,看得入谜,一口气看完已是凌晨,但那种满足感却也无法说出。感叹于数学的神奇,感叹于数学家们的天才和他们那坚韧的意志。
評分我数学学的不好,但一开始还没那么差,因为对数字很有感觉,所以代数部分学的还行。但是到了高中,每当做几何证明题的时候,我总是想不出该在哪画辅助线,还有各种函数,搞得我很头大。在几何和函数方面的失败让我对数学日渐反感。与此相反,我对历史和政治的兴趣越来越大,还...
評分那天,当当的送货员将我订的一堆书送来,老公问一本叫《费马大定理》的书是什么,我说是一本数学书时,他和儿子一起嘲笑我:就你?看数学书? 就算人家的数学学得非常糟糕,当年考大学都不曾考及格,也不应该打击人家一大把年纪还上进的积极性不是?何况,这的确是一本非常棒...
評分读罢此书,深深地被作者组织材料的能力所折服。费马大定理向上追溯有2000年的历史传统,问世的300年来,数学中的不同领域被发现、被结合用于解决这一难题。如果说费马大定理是一串项链,怀尔斯的证明就犹如一根金线,将数学不同领域的明珠串联起来。在攻克费马大定理的路上,闪...
當作科普小毒物看看還是蠻有趣的...
评分十年後重讀瞭英文原版,本想隨便讀讀,沒以為能讀完。沒想到一氣嗬成,比記憶中還要精彩!
评分"Es war so unbeschreiblich schön; so einfach und elegant." 那無與倫比的美;如此純粹並且充滿靈性。
评分絕對好看,強烈推薦
评分寫的太好瞭,fall in love with maths & logic
