……到底在讲啥？这会给你学的东西赋予极大的意义。我推荐下面这几本书：- ET Bell 的《数学精英》（Men of Mathematics），还有同一作者的《数学的发展》（The Development of Mathematics）。- Dirk Struik 的《数学简史》（A Concise History of Mathematics）。- Boyer 的《数学史》（A History of Mathematics）。- 当然，还有互联网。3. 同时对照着读几本“大局观”的书。一些建议：- 《数学的基础与基本概念》（Foundations and Fundamental Concepts of…
…about? This will add an immense amount of meaning to your subjects. I recommend the following books: - "Men of Mathematics" by ET Bell. Also "The Development of Mathematics" by the same author. - "A Concise History of Mathematics" by Dirk Struik, - "A History of Mathematics" by Boyer - And of course, the internet. 3. Read a few "big picture" books side-by-side. A few suggestions: - "Foundations and Fundamental Concepts of…
……社会通常习惯使用 20 进制（我瞎猜的：要是你光脚或者穿凉鞋，这可能挺自然的）和 5 进制。我强烈推荐这本书，在当年（1987年）绝对是领头羊，哪怕放在今天可能依然是：Dirk Struik 写的《数学简史》第四次修订版（A Concise History of Mathematics, 4th revised Ed.）。
…societies commonly have used base 20 (my speculation: maybe natural if you are barefoot or wear sandals) and base 5. I highly recommend the book, the leader in its time (1987) and maybe still today: A Concise History of Mathematics, 4th revised Ed., by Dirk Struik
……去应对那个挑战（并最终成为一个更好的数学学习者/应用者）的方法，就是深入钻研数学史。这个领域里有很多好书，但对我影响极深的一本是 Dirk Jan Struik 写的《数学简史》（Concise History of Mathematics）。
…cope with that challenge (and ultimately be a better learner / user of mathematics) was digging into the history of mathematics. Many great books in that genre but a very influential one for me was the Concise History of Mathematics by Dirk Jan Struik
你（或者其他人）可能会喜欢 Struik 的《数学简史》（A Concise History of Mathematics）[1]。通读全书其实挺轻松的。我的另一个心头好是 Stillwell 的《数学及其历史》（Mathematics and Its History），同样非常棒。在我看来，Stillwell 的书更适合用来激发……
You (or others) may like Struik’s A Concise History of Mathematics [1]. It’s also quite easy to read cover-to-cover. My other favorite, Stillwell’s Mathematics and Its History, is excellent as well. In my opinion, Stillwell’s book is better to read as a way to motivate…
D.J. Struik 写的《数学简史》（A Concise History of Mathematics）看起来确实不错（我只看了一小部分），但它毕竟有 70 多年的历史了，内容越来越过时。而且它对数学本身的探讨其实没有太深入；它更多是……
“A Concise History of Mathematics” by D.J. Struik apparently (I have read only a tiny part of it) is good, but being 70+ years old, it is getting more and more dated. It also doesn’t discuss the mathematics itself in much depth; it more…
