- 内容通俗经典，适合长线翻阅回味
读了 H. L. Gold 的一段摘录后，我（再次）找到了这本书。他这样描述道：“这一切乃至更多内容，都出自 Simon & Schuster 出版的一部令人震撼的巨著。书名为《The World of Mathematics》，共四卷盒装，逾2500页令人赞叹的篇幅。除了涵盖各类正统数学的章节外，还收录了从古埃及抄写员 Ah-mosé 到现当代最伟大数学家的传记——书的扉页上写着‘致爱因斯坦’，但其内容远不止于此。如果时间旅行存在，我想不出有几个更值得或更”

引荐他去刷 Project Euler 吧。书单：（我童年和青少年时期美好的回忆）《The World of Mathematics》（Newman 编）Suzanne Langer 的《Symbolic Logic》波利亚的《How to Solve it》伽莫夫的《One, Two, Three, Infinity》柯朗和罗宾的《What is Mathematics》。
Point him at Project Euler. Books: (remembered fondly from my childhood & adolescence) The World of Mathematics (ed. Newman) Symbolic Logic by Suzanne Langer How to Solve it by Polya One, Two, Three, Infinity by Gamow What is Mathematics by Courant & Robbins.
给他找几本有趣的好数学书吧。几个建议：乔治·伽莫夫的《One, Two, Three, Infinity》。詹姆斯·纽曼主编的《The World of Mathematics》[全套四卷]，过几年也许还可以看柯朗和罗宾的《What Is Mathematics》，以及 Suzanne Langer 的《Symbolic Logic》，这些全都是我自己童年时就怀着……记忆的书。
Get him some good interesting math books. A few suggestions: One, Two, Three, Infinity by George Gamow. The World of Mathematics [4 volume set] edited by James Newman and, perhaps in a few years, What Is Mathematics, by Courant and Robbins and Symbolic Logic, by Suzanne Langer all books that I remember from my own childhood with…
我挺喜欢 James R. Newman 的《The World of Mathematics》。全套一共四卷，在二手书店经常能以白菜价淘到。
I like James R. Newman's "The World of Mathematics." It's a four volume set and you can often find it at a used bookstore for next to nothing.
James Newman 编的《The World of Mathematics》（四卷本选集）可能会让你对数学产生感觉，并激发你进一步探索数学的兴趣。这是一部极棒的文集，内容从数学趣闻、谜题一直涵盖到回忆录……
The World of Mathematics edited by James Newman (a four-volume anthology) may give you a feel for and an interest in exploring math further. It's a great collection ranging from mathematical curiousities and puzzles to memoirs…
……去理解这个领域、懂得欣赏它的美并将其应用到实际问题中。我对数学的热爱和欣赏，部分就源于一字不落地读完了 James R. Newman 在1956年最初出版的四卷本《World of Mathematics》（Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/World-Mathematics-Four--Set/dp/0486432...）。现在 Dover 出版了平装本，大概46刀就能买到。它可不是那种拿来……读的书。
…understanding the field and how to appreciate its beauty and apply it to practical problems. My love and appreciation for mathematics came, in part, from reading every word of James R. Newman's four volume World of Mathematics (Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/World-Mathematics-Four--Set/dp/0486432...) published originally in 1956. It is now published by Dover in paperback and available at O($46). It's not a book to read to…
二战时期关于运筹学的经典论文，重印在 James R. Newman 的《World of Mathematics》中。用作寻找坠毁飞机的模型也很管用。我记得在1950年代读到它时，觉得太神了。
The classic paper on operations research from WWII republished in James R. Newman's World of Mathematics. Useful as a model of finding down aeroplanes as well. I remember reading it in the 1950's and finding it amazing.
