Praise for William Dunham s Journey Through Genius The Great Theorems of Mathematics "Dunham deftly guides the reader through the verbal and logical intricacies of major mathematical questions and proofs, conveying a splendid sense of how the greatest mathematicians from ancient to modern times presented their arguments." Ivars Peterson Author, The Mathematical Tourist Mathematics and Physics Editor, Science News "It is mathematics presented as a series of works of art; a fascinating lingering over individual examples of ingenuity and insight. It is mathematics by lightning flash." Isaac Asimov "It is a captivating collection of essays of major mathematical achievements brought to life by the personal and historical anecdotes which the author has skillfully woven into the text. This is a book which should find its place on the bookshelf of anyone interested in science and the scientists who create it." R. L. Graham, AT&T Bell Laboratories "Come on a time-machine tour through 2,300 years in which Dunham drops in on some of the greatest mathematicians in history. Almost as if we chat over tea and crumpets, we get to know them and their ideas ideas that ring with eternity and that offer glimpses into the often veiled beauty of mathematics and logic. And all the while we marvel, hoping that the tour will not stop." Jearl Walker, Physics Department, Cleveland State University Author of The Flying Circus of Physics
William Dunham,俄亥俄州立大学硕士和博士毕业,现为美国穆伦堡学院教授,世界知名的数学史专家。他分别于1992年、1997年、2006年获得美国数学协会颁发的George Polya奖、Trevor Evans 奖和Lester R. Ford奖。Dunham教授著述颇丰,除本书外,还著有《The Mathematical Universe: An Alphabetical Journey Through the Great Proofs, Problems, and Personalities》(数学那些事儿:思想、发现、人物和历史)等广受好评的科普著作。
我认为最适合高中生阅读,我敢保证第一遍读完之后你会觉得震撼无比 当然,对数学的源流有兴趣的成年人也可以静下心来好好读一读,你会发现,数学或许真的是这么美好,跟从小到大所认识的静止的,无趣的,枯燥而不可置疑的数学是如此的不同,而开始觉得这个世界是如此的奇妙。 ...
评分以前我是很讨厌数学的,看过这本书后,开始对数学这门学科感兴趣,然后开始疯狂学习,虽然我现在的工作和数学没有关系,但是,数学赋予了我精确地逻辑思维,我感谢数学,我觉得,现在每个学校要普及这本书,这要比简单的填鸭式学习有效得多

评分数学是我的弱项,虽然初中当了三年数学课代表,但是,考试分数总是在及格线徘徊,不是不努力,而是实在无感。不知道哪天脑子一热,想回炉一下数学。别人推荐了威廉·邓纳姆的《天才引导的历程》。这个书名,看起来有些鸡汤,不能完全地代表本书的价值。 对于菜鸟来说...
