Nobel Laureate Eugene Wigner once wondered about "the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics" in the formulation of the laws of nature. Is God a Mathematician? investigates why mathematics is as powerful as it is. From ancient times to the present, scientists and philosophers have marveled at how such a seemingly abstract discipline could so perfectly explain the natural world. More than that -- mathematics has often made predictions, for example, about subatomic particles or cosmic phenomena that were unknown at the time, but later were proven to be true. Is mathematics ultimately invented or discovered? If, as Einstein insisted, mathematics is "a product of human thought that is independent of experience," how can it so accurately describe and even predict the world around us? Mathematicians themselves often insist that their work has no practical effect. The British mathematician G. H. Hardy went so far as to describe his own work this way: "No discovery of mine has made, or is likely to make, directly or indirectly, for good or ill, the least difference to the amenity of the world." He was wrong. The Hardy-Weinberg law allows population geneticists to predict how genes are transmitted from one generation to the next, and Hardy's work on the theory of numbers found unexpected implications in the development of codes. Physicist and author Mario Livio brilliantly explores mathematical ideas from Pythagoras to the present day as he shows us how intriguing questions and ingenious answers have led to ever deeper insights into our world. This fascinating book will interest anyone curious about the human mind, the scientific world, and the relationship between them.

评分 评分春节间各种饭局与赶路的间隙读完的书。 一个很有意思的问题：数学是客观存在的还是人类发明。但论述远不如标题吸引人。花了近半篇幅在古希腊与中世纪，而近现代数学部分篇幅太少。最后一章总结更是有种“哥裤子都脱了你就给我说这个？”的感觉。 没读过《古今数学思想》（大...
评分引言以罗素的一段话开始总结此书： 因此，如果要总结哲学价值的话，可以说，哲学是用来研究的，而不是用以寻找它所提问题的确切答案，因为没有一种确定的答案可以被视为亘古不变的真理，相反，哲学本身就是寻找问题。正是这些问题拓展了我们对可能性的这种概念的理解，丰富了我...
