具体描述
Praise for William Dunhams Journey Through Genius The Great Theorems of Mathematics "Dunham deftly guides the reader through the verbal and logical intricacies of major mathematical questions and proofs, conveying a splendid sense of how the greatest mathematicians from ancient to modern times presented their arguments." —Ivars Peterson Author, The Mathematical Tourist Mathematics and Physics Editor, Science News
"It is mathematics presented as a series of works of art; a fascinating lingering over individual examples of ingenuity and insight. It is mathematics by lightning flash." —Isaac Asimov
"It is a captivating collection of essays of major mathematical achievements brought to life by the personal and historical anecdotes which the author has skillfully woven into the text. This is a book which should find its place on the bookshelf of anyone interested in science and the scientists who create it." —R. L. Graham, AT&T Bell Laboratories
"Come on a time-machine tour through 2,300 years in which Dunham drops in on some of the greatest mathematicians in history. Almost as if we chat over tea and crumpets, we get to know them and their ideas—ideas that ring with eternity and that offer glimpses into the often veiled beauty of mathematics and logic. And all the while we marvel, hoping that the tour will not stop." —Jearl Walker, Physics Department, Cleveland State University Author of The Flying Circus of Physics

读后感
以前我是很讨厌数学的，看过这本书后，开始对数学这门学科感兴趣，然后开始疯狂学习，虽然我现在的工作和数学没有关系，但是，数学赋予了我精确地逻辑思维，我感谢数学，我觉得，现在每个学校要普及这本书，这要比简单的填鸭式学习有效得多
评分数学是我的弱项，虽然初中当了三年数学课代表，但是，考试分数总是在及格线徘徊，不是不努力，而是实在无感。不知道哪天脑子一热，想回炉一下数学。别人推荐了威廉·邓纳姆的《天才引导的历程》。这个书名，看起来有些鸡汤，不能完全地代表本书的价值。 对于菜鸟来说...
评分 评分我认为，要学好数学首先要有兴趣，而有兴趣的前提是要学数学史。我们的同学之所以对数学普遍畏惧，是因为我们的数学教科书往往直勾勾、楞柯柯、冷冰冰地盯着你，把你盯到无地自容。而且只要翻开数学教材，里面全是“奉天承运，皇帝诏曰”一样的定义、定理加证明，仿佛这些东西...

特别喜欢
评分特别喜欢
评分数学史上课的教材，列子很易懂~
评分带我走进数学世界的书。没想到有一天可以成为Dunham的学生，太荣幸了。
评分why didn't i know about this book when i was a high schooler..
