我上过一门用这本书当教材的课（Boyer 和 Merzbach 著，《A History of Mathematics》），读得很开心：http://www.amazon.com/A-History-Mathematics-Second-Edition/d...
I took a course that used this book (Boyer and Merzbach, A History of Mathematics), which I enjoyed: http://www.amazon.com/A-History-Mathematics-Second-Edition/d...
这篇帖子写得太棒了！内容我特别喜欢，大家给的建议也都很深刻 :] 不确定下面这些书之前有没有人推荐过：- Carl B. Boyer - 《A History of Mathematics》 - William Dunham - 《Journey Through Genius》 - Philip J. Davis & Reuben Hersh - 《The Mathematical Experience》 - Martin Aigner & Günter M. Ziegler - 《Proofs from THE BOOK》 - Imre Lakatos - 《Proofs and Refutations》 -…
This is a beautiful post! I'm loving what I am reading and the suggestions seem quite insightful :] I am not sure if any of the following books were recommendation already: - Carl B. Boyer - A History of Mathematics - William Dunham - Journey Through Genius - Philip J. Davi & Reuben Hersh - The Mathematical Experience - Martin Aigner & Günter M. Ziegler - Proofs from the Book - Imre Lakatos - Proofs and Refutations -…
Boyer/Merzbach 的《A History of Mathematics》[0] 就是那类大部头著作。它花了大篇幅探讨古人用来做真正的数学计算（比如用于工程）的那些方法，对受过现代数学教育的读者来说简直不可思议…
Boyer/Merzbach "A History of Mathematics" [0] is a tome in that vein. It spends a lot of time discussing the (mind-boggling, to a modern-mathematics-educated reader) methods that ancient peoples used to do real math (e.g. for engineering)…
…学会了使用六分仪，这让人切身体会到了远洋航行所能展现的“巫术”般的魅力与力量。Boyer 和 Merzbach 在他们的《A History of Mathematics》中介绍了这些工具的部分发展历程。强烈推荐。
…learned to use a sextant and doing that gives one some sense of the "sorcery" and power achievable with blue-water navigation. Boyer and Merzbach cover some of the development of these tools in their "History of Mathematics". Highly recommended.
…等腰直角三角形。在数学上最重要的四部《绳法经》（Shulba Sutras）分别归于 Baudhayana、Manava、Apastamba 和 Katyayana 名下。参见：Boyer, Carl B. (1991). A History of Mathematics (Second ed.), John Wiley & Sons. ISBN 0-471-54397-7。Boyer (1991) 第 207 页写道：“我们发现了一些利用三条长度构成勾股…的绳子来构建直角的规则
…isosceles right triangle. The four major Shulba Sutras, which are mathematically the most significant, are those attributed to Baudhayana, Manava, Apastamba and Katyayana. Refer to: Boyer, Carl B. (1991). A History of Mathematics (Second ed.), John Wiley & Sons. ISBN 0-471-54397-7. Boyer (1991), p. 207, says: "We find rules for the construction of right angles by means of triples of cords the lengths of which form Pythagorean…
