另一本神书是从基础讲起、然后探索广泛数学主题的《普林斯顿数学指南》（The Princeton Companion to Mathematics）：http://press.princeton.edu/titles/8350.html 随便翻开一页读起来都特别有意思。
Another great book, starting with the basics and then exploring a wide range of mathematical subjects, is The Princeton Companion to Mathematics: http://press.princeton.edu/titles/8350.html It's fun to just flip it open and start reading.
《普林斯顿数学指南》。
The Princeton Companion to Mathematics.
就深度和广度而言，普林斯顿指南系列已经很接近费曼讲义的水准了。[1][2] 更形式化的内容可以看各类手册。[3][4] [1] Gowers 等著，《普林斯顿数学指南》。https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691118802/th... [2] Higham 与 Dennis 著，《普林斯顿应用数学指南》。https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691150390/th...…
In terms of depth and breadth, the Princeton companions get close to Feynman.[1][2] A more formal approach appears in handbooks.[3][4] [1] Gowers et al., The Princeton Companion to Mathematics. https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691118802/th...

我也觉得这几篇很有帮助：James Gowers 写的《数学的语言与语法》，出自《普林斯顿数学指南》：http://press.princeton.edu/chapters/gowers/gowers_I_2.pdf John Hamal Hubbard 写的《阅读数学》：http://www.math.cornell.edu/~hubbard/readingmath.pdf
I've also found these to be helpful: The Language and Grammar of Mathematics, from The Princeton Companion to Mathematics, by James Gowers: http://press.princeton.edu/chapters/gowers/gowers_I_2.pdf Reading Mathematics, by John Hamal Hubbard: http://www.math.cornell.edu/~hubbard/readingmath.pdf
…去自学。看网上的公开课。在 HN 上连珠炮似地向其他读者提问，问 Haskell、Lisp 宏或者任何东西。订阅一份《自然》杂志。或者硬啃高德纳（Knuth）的巨著、《普林斯顿数学指南》或是《细胞的分子生物学》。[1] 如果你有一份好工作、有朋友、有爱情，还有一个开源项目，不妨试着想想你可能已经既幸福又成功了。--- [1]…
…teach yourself. Watch lectures on the web. Pepper your fellow HN readers with questions about Haskell or Lisp macros or whatever. Buy a subscription to Nature. Or work your own way through Knuth or the Princeton Companion to Mathematics or The Molecular Biology of the Cell. [1] If you've got a good job and friends and romance and an open-source project, try to consider the possibility that you might be happy and successful. --- [1]…
这是本好书，不过我和其他人看法一致，想真正靠它学会东西会很难。如果你喜欢这本，另一本你可能会很爱读的书是《普林斯顿数学指南》。
This is a good book, although I agree with others that truly learning from it would be difficult. If you like this, another book you might really enjoy is the Princeton Companion to Mathematics.
