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.

讀後感
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...
評分作者给每个章节都起了个宏大的名字，使你时刻做着思维被颠覆的准备，但真正读过之后会发现作者所说的实际上都是你知道的，而且根本也没切中要害。整本书给人一种“入宝山空手而归”的感觉，不过空手而归的首先是作者，自然然后是读者。

評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。
評分本来以为这是一本经济学读物，读着读着觉得这是一本社科读物啊哈，就没讲多少经济学的知识，反而更多的是博弈论跟生物学还有物理学之间的联系，前面几张是跟生物进化，到后面跟物理的分子原子还有量子力学那边的，可是又没有详细介绍，对于没有这方面物理知识的人来说，要理解...
用戶評價
同樣寫Nash，Nasar和Siegfried能拿來賣錢，我雞隻能拿來賣逼，還賣不上個好價錢——難道title要冠以“人人網著名意領、豆瓣首頁紅人、中國華僑齣版社簽約作傢”之名？
评分略簡陋……

评分整本書把所有博弈論有關的學科全部扯到瞭，雖然淺顯，但是作為科普讀物，必須給作者點贊啊。最後一部分最精彩，將量子計算、概率學和博弈論結閤起來討論。
评分博弈論發展史呀。。。
