More than three centuries after its creation, calculus remains a dazzling intellectual achievement and the gateway into higher mathematics. This book charts its growth and development by sampling from the work of some of its foremost practitioners, beginning with Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz in the late seventeenth century and continuing to Henri Lebesgue at the dawn of the twentieth. William Dunham lucidly presents the definitions, theorems, and proofs. "Students of literature read Shakespeare; students of music listen to Bach," he writes. But this tradition of studying the major works of the "masters" is, if not wholly absent, certainly uncommon in mathematics. This book seeks to redress that situation. Like a great museum, The Calculus Gallery is filled with masterpieces, among which are Bernoulli's early attack upon the harmonic series (1689), Euler's brilliant approximation of pi (1779), Cauchy's classic proof of the fundamental theorem of calculus (1823), Weierstrass's mind-boggling counterexample (1872), and Baire's original "category theorem" (1899). Collectively, these selections document the evolution of calculus from a powerful but logically chaotic subject into one whose foundations are thorough, rigorous, and unflinching--a story of genius triumphing over some of the toughest, most subtle problems imaginable. Anyone who has studied and enjoyed calculus will discover in these pages the sheer excitement each mathematician must have felt when pushing into the unknown. In touring The Calculus Gallery , we can see how it all came to be.
William Dunham 世界知名的數學史專傢,現為美國穆倫堡學院教授。Dunham教授著述頗豐,較有影響的著作還有Journey Through Genius: The Great Theorems of Mathematics和The Mathematical Universe,後者被美國齣版商協會評為1994年的最佳數學書(中文版也將由人民郵電齣版社齣版)。Dunham還分彆於1992年、1997年、2006年獲得美國數學協會頒發的George Polya奬、Trevor Evans 奬和Lester R. Ford奬。
国内微积分课程的编排实在是糟糕,不和实践紧密结合这点先不说,课程的教学目的给人的感觉就是为了教微积分而教微积分。两个学期的高等数学学下来,除了会用课本上的方法求一些很变态的积分,就几乎什么都不会了。更糟糕的是,我学完了两个学期的微积分以后,根本不知道多项式...
