……一本是 Constance Reid 写的《Hilbert!》。这是大卫·希尔伯特的传记，在阐述促使他走向形式主义（Formalism）的底层认识论问题方面，写得令人惊叹地好。另一本是 Davis 和 Hersch 写的《The Mathematical Experience》（数学经验）。
…is Hilbert! by Constance Reid. It is a biography of David Hilbert, and does a surprisingly good job of describing the fundamental epistemological issues that lead him to Formalism. The other is The Mathematical Experience by Davis and Hersch.

关于“什么是数学”，我见过的最好描述就是 Davis 和 Hersch 写的《The Mathematical Experience》这本书了。别被它是一本书给吓退。它很好读，因为它被拆成了关于数学不同领域的小短文。外行人也能读得懂，并能体会到……
The best description of math that I have ever encountered of what math is is the book The Mathematical Experience by Davis and Hersch. Don't be scared by the fact that it is a book. It is very accessible since it is divided into little articles on different areas of math. A lay person can read it and gain a sense…
……传记。这本传记不仅展现了他科学思想的演进，也展现了他个人与思想的蜕变。好书。如果你想读这本，有物理学背景会大有帮助。- Davis、Hersh 的《The Mathematical Experience》是一本非常简明愉悦的数学史著作。值得推荐。- Andrew Hodges 写的《Alan Turing: The Enigma》（艾伦·图灵传）是一本很棒的数学家传记。我还没读完，但是……
…biography. This biography shows the evolution of his science as well as evolution of his person and thoughts. Great book. Background in Physics will be very helpful if you want to read this one. - The Mathematical Experience David, Hersh is a very succinct and pleasant book on the history of Maths. Will recommend. - Alan Turing: The Enigma by Andrew Hodges is a good mathematician's biography. I have not finished it, but…
……希望能有所长进的谈判者。几年前我读了马基雅维利的《君主论》。我喜欢它的程度远超预期。对于任何喜欢数学的人，从泛读兴趣的角度，我强烈推荐 Davis 和 Hersch 写的《The Mathematical Experience》。我的总结是：《哥德尔、艾舍尔、巴赫》（GEB）是非数学家放在咖啡桌上的装逼大部头，而《The Mathematical Experience》才是数学家们……
…bargainer who is looking to improve. A few years back I read The Prince by Machiavelli. I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. For general interest for anyone who likes math I strongly recommend The Mathematical Experience by Davis and Hersch. My summary of it is that Godel, Escher, Bach is the book that non-mathematicians have on their coffee table book, while The Mathematical Experience is the one that mathematicians…
《The Mathematical Experience》对此进行了相当深入的探讨。http://www.amazon.com/Mathematical-Experience-Phillip-J-Davi...
"The Mathematical Experience" goes into this in pretty good depth. http://www.amazon.com/Mathematical-Experience-Phillip-J-Davi...
