为什么值得读
- 揭秘编剧团队大量聘用数学极客的历史渊源
- 系统梳理动画中暗藏的大量高深数学彩蛋与梗
- 行文寓教于乐，还涉及同团队打造的飞出个未来
“尽管许多人试图在Los Simpson中找寻哲学、心理学甚至文学方面的启示，但事实是，如果说该剧编剧们对某一学科情有独钟，那必然是数学。早在试播集Bart, el genio中，就出现过关于微分方程的隐晦笑点。从最简单的概念到复杂的悖论，这部剧在播出的二十多年里涵盖了数学的各个分支。Los Simpson y las matemáticas是一本写给这门学科的爱好者、剧集粉丝，尤其是写给那些……

虽然不是2018年出版的，但我挺喜欢其中几本：* 《黑客：计算机革命的英雄》（Steven Levy）* 《Masters of DOOM》（David Kushner）* 《辛普森一家及其数学秘密》（Simon Singh）* 《倒计时到零日》（讲 stuxnet 的，Kim Zetter 著）* 《人类简史》（Yuval Noah Harari）* 《Coders at Work》（读了其中一部分访谈，没全读，但挺有意思的。作者是 Peter…
They weren't written in 2018, but some I enjoyed: * Hackers: Heroes of the computer revolution (Steven Levy) * Masters of DOOM (David Kushner) * The simpsons and their mathematical secrets (Simon Singh) * Countdown to zero day (about stuxnet, by Kim Zetter) * Sapiens: A brief history of human kind (Yuval Noah Harari) * Coders at work (Some interviews, not all, but I enjoyed it. By Peter…
你可能会对 Simon Singh 的《辛普森一家及其数学秘密》（The Simpsons and their Mathematical Secrets）感兴趣，书里详细介绍了这部动画长久以来雇佣数学极客当编剧的传统，以及因此产生的海量数学内部梗（in-jokes）。
You may be interested in Simon Singh's The Simpsons and their Mathematical Secrets which details the show's long tradition of hiring math geeks as writers and the plethora of math-based in-jokes that has resulted.
这个定理以及一大堆超酷的数学彩蛋都在 Simon Singh 写的《辛普森一家及其数学秘密》里有介绍，我强烈推荐。虽然书名是这样，但里面也包含了一些《飞出个未来》（Futurama）的幕后故事，考虑到两边的编剧团队重合度那么高，这倒也合情合理。里面塞了那么多高深复杂的……真让人难以置信
This theorem and a whole bunch of other cool math easter eggs are described in The Simpsons and Their Mathematical Secrets by Simon Singh, which I highly recommend. Despite the name, it includes some stories from Futurama, which makes sense given how similar the writing teams were. It's incredible how many sophisticated…
这周在读《辛普森一家及其数学秘密》。这本书既有趣又能涨知识。
Reading Simpsons and their mathematical secrets this week. The book is both entertaining and informative.
我自己既是个数学迷也是《辛普森一家》的铁粉，所以挺喜欢作者这本《辛普森一家及其数学秘密》。阅读前需要注意一点：它的目标受众是只对《辛普森一家》略有了解的人，所以很遗憾，书里有相当一部分篇幅都在描述那些你可能早就烂熟于心的剧集情节……
As an aficionado of both math and The Simpsons myself I quite liked the author's book "The Simpsons and their Mathematical Secrets". One thing to note before reading: it's targeted at an audience with a passing familiarity with The Simpsons, so an unfortunate percentage of it is a description of episodes you probably already know…
同一作者写的《密码故事》（The Code Book）和《辛普森一家及其数学秘密》也都是好书。
“The Code Book” and “The Simpsons and Their Mathematical Secrets” are also great books by the same author.
