Millions have seen the movie and thousands have read the book but few have fully appreciated the mathematics developed by John Nash's beautiful mind. Today Nash's beautiful math has become a universal language for research in the social sciences and has infiltrated the realms of evolutionary biology, neuroscience, and even quantum physics. John Nash won the 1994 Nobel Prize in economics for pioneering research published in the 1950s on a new branch of mathematics known as game theory. At the time of Nash's early work, game theory was briefly popular among some mathematicians and Cold War analysts. But it remained obscure until the 1970s when evolutionary biologists began applying it to their work. In the 1980s economists began to embrace game theory. Since then it has found an ever expanding repertoire of applications among a wide range of scientific disciplines. Today neuroscientists peer into game players' brains, anthropologists play games with people from primitive cultures, biologists use games to explain the evolution of human language, and mathematicians exploit games to better understand social networks. A common thread connecting much of this research is its relevance to the ancient quest for a science of human social behavior, or "a Code of Nature," in the spirit of the fictional science of psychohistory described in the famous Foundation novels by the late Isaac Asimov. In A Beautiful Math, acclaimed science writer Tom Siegfried describes how game theory links the life sciences, social sciences, and physical sciences in a way that may bring Asimov's dream closer to reality.

读后感
这本书没有什么让人特别耳目一新的论点，也不准备在前瞻性方面作出什么贡献，但是作为一本科普书，无疑是优秀的。我学习过博弈论导论，粗粗涉猎过计算机科学，受过经济学科班训练，也对物理有一些兴趣，这本书找到这些领域的内在联系，意图用博弈论来联合这些科学。我不是大牛...
评分最近几天一直在读一部数学方面的书。a beautiful math。 主要讲的是nash 的 game theory及其影响。 Game Theory其实国内都多多少少听说过， 但通常的介绍也就到囚徒困境而己。 这部书的的写法更像是一部科技和文化史。 它上到亚当斯密，达尔文，牛顿，maxwell，高斯，下到...

评分这本书基本是论述了博弈论的发展历史，让读者知道博弈论是怎么来的，又是怎么发展的，简单的说了说会用到哪些地方。 讲了几个科学实验，但是没有具体的博弈论的理论内容，作为博弈论的入门足够了，不难读的译著，这一点比较好。

同样写Nash，Nasar和Siegfried能拿来卖钱，我鸡只能拿来卖逼，还卖不上个好价钱——难道title要冠以“人人网著名意领、豆瓣首页红人、中国华侨出版社签约作家”之名？
评分博弈论发展史呀。。。
