Hacker News 上怎么说

  • 如果你脑子里总在琢磨这类问题,《素数之恋:伯恩哈德·黎曼与数学中最大的未解之谜》(Prime Obsession: Bernhard Riemann and the Greatest Unsolved Problem in Mathematics)[1] 是一本很不错的读物。[1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_Obsession

    Prime Obsession: Bernhard Riemann and the Greatest Unsolved Problem in Mathematics [1] is a nice read if that kind of question occupies your mind. [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_Obsession

  • 约翰·德比希尔(John Derbyshire)写的《素数之恋》(Prime Obsession)是另一部深度剖析之作。一部分是传记,一部分是历史,一部分是数学。

    Prime Obsession by John Derbyshire is another in-depth look. Part biography, part history, part math.

  • 约翰·德比希尔的《素数之恋》(Prime Obsession)和《未知量》(Unknown Quantity)里都有很大篇幅写她(在《未知量》里篇幅更多,因为那是一部代数普及史)。两本都是极好的书,不过我更倾向于……

    "Prime Obsession" and "Unknown Quantity", both by John Derbyshire, contain significant sections on her (more so in "Unknown Quantity", as it is a popular history of algebra). Both are excellent books, though I'd have…

  • 我以前一直以为自己学不会数学,直到我在学校之外去学它。像《素数之恋》(Prime Obsession)这样的一本书,对我来说比高中数学课上的每一分每一秒都更有价值。我真无法理解怎么会有人能在毫无背景语境的情况下学会一门知识。我觉得外语教学里也存在类似的问题……

    I thought I was unable to learn math, until I learned it outside of a school. One book like Prime Obsession was worth more to me than every moment of high school math. It's unbelievable to me that anyone can learn something devoid of context. I think there's a similar problem in how second languages are taught…

  • 约翰·德比希尔(John Derbyshire)写的《素数之恋》(Prime Obsession),我怎么推荐都不为过。哈特尔(Hartle)的《引力》(Gravity)不仅含金量极高,而且相当平易近人。如果你微积分基础扎实,也可以去翻翻米斯纳(Misner)、索恩(Thorne)和惠勒(Wheeler)合著的《引力论》(Gravitation)。

    I can't recommend the book, 'Prime Obsession' by John Derbyshire enough. 'Gravity' by Hartle is invaluable and quite accessible. If you have a strong background in calculus, you can also check out 'Gravitation' by Misner, Thorne, and Wheeler.

  • 如果你喜欢这个话题而且没有一直读到文章最底部的话,作者推荐的约翰·德比希尔的《素数之恋》(Prime Obsession)非常切中要害。真是一本神书。

    If you like this topic and didn’t read all the way to the bottom, the author’s recommendation of “Prime Obsession” by John Derbyshire is spot on. It’s a fantastic book.
