图书描述

Most popular books about science, and even about mathematics, tiptoe around equations as if they were something to be hidden from the reader's tender eyes. Dana Mackenzie starts from the opposite premise: He celebrates equations. No history of art would be complete without pictures. Why, then, should a history of mathematics - the universal language of science - keep the masterpieces of the subject hidden behind a veil? "The Universe in Zero Words" tells the history of twenty-four great and beautiful equations that have shaped mathematics, science, and society - from the elementary (1+1=2) to the sophisticated (the Black-Scholes formula for financial derivatives), and from the famous (E=mc2) to the arcane (Hamilton's quaternion equations). Mackenzie, who has been called 'a popular-science ace' by Booklist magazine, lucidly explains what each equation means, who discovered it (and how), and how it has affected our lives. Illustrated in color throughout, the book tells the human and often-surprising stories behind the invention or discovery of the equations, from how a bad cigar changed the course of quantum mechanics to why whales (if they could communicate with us) would teach us a totally different concept of geometry. At the same time, the book shows why these equations have something timeless to say about the universe, and how they do it with an economy (zero words) that no other form of human expression can match. "The Universe in Zero Words" is the ultimate introduction and guide to equations that have changed the world.

A well-written, well-organized and well-displayed book that walks you through the time. Some knowledge of high mathematics are required to fully enjoy part 3 and 4. If math is only a language that human creates to describe the universe, how could it be so elegant, precise and universal?

读后感

这是一本有关数学的科普读物,这个无言的宇宙优美、复杂、不确定,重新定义了我对数学的理解。作者开宗明义指出了数学的两重性,“首先,它是因其本身而存在的一个知识体系;其次,它是表达宇宙知识的一种语言。”也就是说,我们欣赏数学的同时也要看重它与其他事物的联系,在...

一 很长一段时间,当然这个时间也不可能终止在现在,我都沉醉在存在、意义和永恒这些虚无的话题之中。 像托尔斯泰的忏悔录里面说的,我也一直相信,自然科学无法回答那个终极的问题,它只能告诉你细枝末节的东西。 有个矛盾的问题不时会跳出来质疑我。 “文字,作为信息交...

在我的奥数还有点成绩的时候,对学数学其实是自负又热爱的。课本没有挑战性,就想从其他地方觅点新奇有趣的。 某年暑假路过书城,一时兴起买了本英国人写的《数学史》,回家读了过半就束之高阁。我猜想那应该是本好书,写的是正统数学史,脉络也清晰,奈何对中学时代的我而言...

数学的天空好像永远都那么深沉,那么无底洞。你无法想象里面的时间空间有多大,你只能窥其冰山一角。 而这本书却揭开了那围绕着数学和方程的神秘莫测的面纱,让那些对此感兴趣的人得以窥其真容。 书中所言,我们试图讨论伦勃朗或者凡 高的作品,我们可就必须观看他...
