图书描述

What do pure mathematicians do, and why do they do it? Looking beyond the conventional answers—for the sake of truth, beauty, and practical applications—this book offers an eclectic panorama of the lives and values and hopes and fears of mathematicians in the twenty-first century, assembling material from a startlingly diverse assortment of scholarly, journalistic, and pop culture sources.

Drawing on his personal experiences and obsessions as well as the thoughts and opinions of mathematicians from Archimedes and Omar Khayyám to such contemporary giants as Alexander Grothendieck and Robert Langlands, Michael Harris reveals the charisma and romance of mathematics as well as its darker side. In this portrait of mathematics as a community united around a set of common intellectual, ethical, and existential challenges, he touches on a wide variety of questions, such as: Are mathematicians to blame for the 2008 financial crisis? How can we talk about the ideas we were born too soon to understand? And how should you react if you are asked to explain number theory at a dinner party?

Disarmingly candid, relentlessly intelligent, and richly entertaining, Mathematics without Apologies takes readers on an unapologetic guided tour of the mathematical life, from the philosophy and sociology of mathematics to its reflections in film and popular music, with detours through the mathematical and mystical traditions of Russia, India, medieval Islam, the Bronx, and beyond.

内容大多都是介绍和科普一些有趣的当代数学和当代数学家的内容，许多是关于数论的。里面的 how to explain number theory at a dinner party 值得一看。

评分☆☆☆☆☆

相比于数学本身，数学家的个人生活、数学家群体的社群活动简直太无聊。数学行为与数学内容相比完全不值一提，即使前者因为更易被外人理解而被赋予兴趣。

读后感

This is an exceptionally well-written book about mathematics as an endeavor, or a profession. First of all, this is not a book on mathematics, written by one of the leading number theorist. Second, this is not even a book about mathematics. The topics are...
