本书系近代世界十大数学家之一的美国S.M.乌拉姆的自传, 叙述了他的世界知名大数学家希尔伯特、冯·诺伊曼等人的关系及不为人知的轶事。
根据纽约 Charles Scribner's Sons 1976年英文版译出。译自: Adventures of a mathematician/S.M.Ulam
The autobiography of mathematician Stanislaw Ulam, one of the great scientific minds of the twentieth century, tells a story rich with amazingly prophetic speculations and peppered with lively anecdotes. As a member of the Los Alamos National Laboratory from 1944 on, Ulam helped to precipitate some of the most dramatic changes of the postwar world. He was among the first to use and advocate computers for scientific research, originated ideas for the nuclear propulsion of space vehicles, and made fundamental contributions to many of today's most challenging mathematical projects. With his wide-ranging interests, Ulam never emphasized the importance of his contributions to the research that resulted in the hydrogen bomb. Now Daniel Hirsch and William Mathews reveal the true story of Ulam's pivotal role in the making of the "Super," in their historical introduction to this behind-the- scenes look at the minds and ideas that ushered in the nuclear age. An epilogue by Franoise Ulam and Jan Mycielski sheds new light on Ulam's character and mathematical originality.

最后一章尤其值得一读
评分洛斯阿拉莫斯那一段很有趣。乌拉姆对诺依曼、费米以及爱因斯坦的比较很有见地,尤其是他说费米是rational,而爱因斯坦是irrational。
