这段引言出自哈尔莫斯的“数学自传”（automathography）《我要做数学家》（I Want To Be A Mathematician）。我非常喜欢读这本书（虽然我不是数学家）。http://www.amazon.com/I-Want-Be-Mathematician-Automathograph...
This quote is from Halmos' "automathography", I Want To Be A Mathematician. I loved reading this book (though I'm no mathematician). http://www.amazon.com/I-Want-Be-Mathematician-Automathograph...
Great suggestions! Two more must read books: 1. "The Mathematical Experience" by Davis and Hersh (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mathematical_Experience#cit...) 2. "I Want To Be a Mathematician" (http://www.amazon.com/I-Want-Be-Mathematician-Automathograph...). Probably the key thing for me in helping my math ability was to actively try to prove theorems. Before reading a proof, I always try…
前面提到的一些书我也读过并且很喜欢，我想再补充几本：* 保罗·哈尔莫斯的《我要做数学家……一本数学自传》（I Want to Be a Mathematician... an automathography）：http://www.amazon.com/Want-Be-Mathematician-Automathography-... * 弗雷德里克·莫斯特勒的《统计学的乐趣：弗雷德里克·莫斯特勒自传》（The Pleasures of Statistics: The Autobiography of Frederick Mosteller）：http://www.amazon.com/Pleasures-Statistics-Autobiography-Fre...
I have read and enjoyed some of the other books already mentioned and would add: * Paul R. Halmos's "I Want to Be a Mathematician... an automathography: http://www.amazon.com/Want-Be-Mathematician-Automathography-... * Frederick Mosteller's "The Pleasures of Statistics: The Autobiography of Frederick Mosteller": http://www.amazon.com/Pleasures-Statistics-Autobiography-Fre...
《我要做数学家：一部数学自传》（I Want to be a Mathematician: An Automathography）—— http://www.amazon.com/Want-Mathematician-An-Automathography/... 这本书对我思考把数学当成职业会是怎样一种体验影响极深。……
"I Want to be a Mathematician: An Automathography" -- http://www.amazon.com/Want-Mathematician-An-Automathography/... This was a very influential book for me in just thinking about what it would be like to do math for a career.…
对想看更多哈尔莫斯作品的人来说，他的书《我要做数学家：一部数学自传》很值得一读。另外塞尔的《如何把数学写得很烂》（How to write mathematics badly）也非常值得一看：https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECQyFzzBHlo
For anyone looking for more of Halmos, his book "I want to be a mathematician: an automathography" is worth a look. Also well worth a look is Serre's "How to write mathematics badly": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECQyFzzBHlo
Because Paul Halmos was an exceptionally good writer. (I greatly enjoyed his "automathography" called "I want to be a mathematician", though it will probably appeal significantly less to people who aren't mathematicians themselves. See also his article "How to write mathematics" at https://www.math.toronto.edu/mgsa/assets/teaching-seminar/ho....)…

非常棒的建议！再推荐两本必读书：1. 戴维斯和赫什的《数学经验》（http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mathematical_Experience#cit...）2. 《我要做数学家》（http://www.amazon.com/I-Want-Be-Mathematician-Automathograph...）。对我来说提高数学能力最关键的一点，可能就是主动去尝试证明定理。在看证明过程之前，我总是会先尝试……

因为保罗·哈尔莫斯文笔极其出色。（我非常喜欢他那本名为《我要做数学家》的“数学自传”，不过对于本身不是数学家的人来说，吸引力可能会大打折扣。另见他的文章《怎样写数学》：https://www.math.toronto.edu/mgsa/assets/teaching-seminar/ho....）……
