The true story of a mathematical mystery, a million-dollar prize, and the fate of genius in today's world.
In 2006, an eccentric Russian genius named Grigori Perelman solved Poincare's Conjecture, one of seven great unsolved mathamatical mysteries, the solution to any of which the Clay Institute, founded by Boston businessman Landon Clay in 2000 to promote mathematics, promised a million-dollar prize. It is widely expected that the first Clay Prize will be awarded to Perelman in October 2009, and it is equally widely expected that he will decline it. Why?
Masha Gessen set out to find out. In the manner of Nabokov's Real Life of Sebastian Knight , or more recently and accessibly, Sylvia Nasar's A Beautiful Mind , or even Elizabeth Gilbert's The Last American Man , Gessen explores the nature of Perelma's mind and the reasons for his unusual, increasingly isolated behavior.
Drawing on interviews with Perelman's teachers, classmates, coaches, teammates, and colleagues in Russia and the US, Gessen has constructed a gripping and tragic tale that sheds rare light on the nature of genius in the modern world.

不错的科普文
评分interesting, gossip, political. be very aware of reputation in small academic community- don't be too showy and aggressive. treat others respectfully and professionally. Females need to justify full devotion/commitment to academic career, rather than pregnancy, etc. Need to contribute REALLY originally.
评分佩雷尔曼,你太有腔调了

评分在读这本书以前一直是很支持Yau的。现在看来好像Tian在此事中更正面一些。但可能也是作者的偏见吧。无论如何让我对某些事有了更新的认识值得推荐。
本人是学数学的,看这本书主要是了解一些八卦罢了。但是我想说,书后半部分对围绕庞加莱猜想的争议及对佩雷尔曼本人的一些判断还是有些不恰当的,正如很多人对数学界、数学家常有的偏见一样,而且里面的某些揣测显得过于恶意了。 八卦部分有:关于柯尔莫哥洛夫与(拓扑的)亚...

评分I highly recommend the book "Perfect Rigor: A Genius and the Mathematical Breakthrough of the Century" by Masha Gessen (2009). After reading it, that was almost a year ago, I had so much to say, I decided to write something for amazon.com. But then I foun...
评分昨天读完这本书,很失望。除了一些细节内容外,如田刚和Perelman良好关系以及Princeton求贤献媚的态度,这本书干货(数学价值)太少了。畅销书作者写的非第一手学术传记还是少看为好。关于Perelman,他是个天才,同时又很精明,本质上与Andre Wiles是同一类型,对自己研究都讳...
评分下面是发在杂志上的书评的原稿。其实,有些话没来得及讲:看这本书,会忽然有点心疼。从数学上来讲,佩雷尔曼是成功地,那些加诸于他身上的磨难,与他的成功应该也有关系吧,虽然这些关系曲折而吊诡。感觉,就如《贫民窟里的百万富翁》,一切都是从一开始就注定了的。性格、行...
