天才之旅

Hacker News 上怎么说

  我几周前读了这篇，然后打算找一本融入了一些历史的数学书。我发现了《天才引导的历程：数学名定理的诞生》（Journey through Genius: The Great Theorems of Mathematics），评价非常棒。我目前正在开发一款 iPad 应用，可以让大家通过这类书籍互相结对指导。它自带视频聊天和共享白板，所以……

  I read this a couple weeks ago and decided to try and find a math book that incorporates some history in it. I found Journey through Genius: The Great Theorems of Mathematics with some great reviews. I am working on an iPad app that pairs up people to mentor each other through books like this. It has video chat and a shared whiteboard, so…

  …我正在读的内容，而且这些建议看起来挺有见地的 :] 我不确定下面这些书之前有没有人推荐过：- Carl B. Boyer - 《A History of Mathematics》- William Dunham - 《Journey Through Genius》- Philip J. Davi & Reuben Hersh - 《The Mathematical Experience》- Martin Aigner & Günter M. Ziegler - 《Proofs from the Book》- Imre Lakatos - 《Proofs and Refutations》- Robert M. Young - 《Excursions in Calculus:…

  …what I am reading and the suggestions seem quite insightful :] I am not sure if any of the following books were recommendation already: - Carl B. Boyer - A History of Mathematics - William Dunham - Journey Through Genius - Philip J. Davi & Reuben Hersh - The Mathematical Experience - Martin Aigner & Günter M. Ziegler - Proofs from the Book - Imre Lakatos - Proofs and Refutations - Robert M. Young - Excursions in Calculus:…

  …对于非虚构类：- 任何讲述你所从事领域历史的书。你需要这种全局视角。对我来说是 Stephen Levy 的《Hackers》（尽管它可能存在一些问题）和 William Dunham 的《Journey Through Genius》。它们引导我进行了更深入的探索并阅读了其他书籍，让我的知识扎根于某种时间脉络之中。- Donald Knuth 的《Surreal Numbers》，一本关于 Conway 超现实数的“虚构”小说……

  …For non-fiction: - Any book that tells some of the history of the field you have a career in. You need it for perspective. For me it was the books Hackers by Stephen Levy (problematic as it may be) and Journey Through Genius by William Dunham. They led me into deeper dives and other books which rooted my knowledge in some chronological perspective. - Surreal Numbers by Donald Knuth, a “fiction” book about Conway’s surreal…

  看看 William Dunham 写的《Journey through Genius》吧。我高中毕业后读了这本书，结果大半个夏天都在用直尺和圆规做几何作图。不过它不全是几何，还有很多……

  Take a look at Journey through Genius by William Dunham. I read it after high school and ended up spending much of the summer with a straightedge and compass making geometric constructions. It's not all geometry, though; there's plenty…

  …我建议买本书好好享受一下。我最喜欢的作者包括：Keith Devlin（看看他最新的《The Unfinished Game》，讲述概率论的诞生。）William Dunham（看看《Journey through Genius》：回顾历史上重要的数学证明，而且不需要太多背景知识）。大学毕业后让我重回数学怀抱的书是 Reuben Hersh 的《The Mathematical Experience》…

  …that I would suggest buying a book and enjoying. Among my favorite authors are: Keith Devlin (check out his latest: The Unfinished Game about the invention of probability.) William Dunham (check out: Journey through Genius: a survey of historically important math proofs that does not require too much background) The book that got me to return to mathematics after college was the Mathematical Experience by Reuben Hersh…
