Isaac Asimov 以其通俗易懂、生动诙谐、引人入胜的风格,深入浅出地解释了迷人数字宇宙中的历史脑筋急转弯与数字奇趣。从人类最初的计数行为到高等数学,从最小的生物到浩瀚炫目的外太空,Asimov 堪称“比当世任何人都更善于解释复杂材料”的大师(The New York Times 评)。你将了解到:如何让一万亿显得微不足道;虚数为何真实存在;宇宙以光子衡量的真实尺寸;“0”为何并非“一无是处”;以及 ASIMOV O 中许多其他奇妙发现

……《魔戒》(整部史诗)《君主论》《高卢战记及其他评述》《设计心理学》《河川世界》(整整5本书的系列)《论美好生活》《论友谊与论老年》《阿西莫夫论数字》(Asimov On Numbers)《阿西莫夫论化学》《罗马共和国》,还有好几百本我列都列不完。
…Rings (all saga) The Prince De Bello Gallico and Other Commentaries The Design of Everyday Things The Riverworld (an entire saga of 5 books) On the Good Life Treatises on Friendship and Old Age Asimov On Numbers Asimov on Chemistry The Roman Republic And hundreds more I cannot list.
……像这样:3452 3423 4665 2324 2324 7322,读起来会轻松太多了。有90%~95%的情况在列出一串数字(甚至是字符!)时,根本没人去切分它们。如果我没记错的话,这是我在艾萨克·阿西莫夫的书《阿西莫夫论数字》里学到的。顺便说一句,非常棒的一本书。
…like this: 3452 3423 4665 2324 2324 7322 It is much much easier to read. 90~95% of the time were numbers (or even characters!) are listed, nobody splits them. This I learned in Isaac Asimov's book "Asimov on Numbers" IIRC. Great book by the way.
我记得在一本艾萨克·阿西莫夫的书里读到过这个答案:《阿西莫夫论数字》(Asimov On Numbers)。

感谢!我还没读过《阿西莫夫论数字》,不过我刚淘了本二手书,非常感谢你的推荐。我目前还没专门为这个项目建邮件列表,不过要是这书真做起来了,我一定会发……
