…我也推荐几个……学校的一位数学老师非常热心地借给我一本詹姆斯·克拉克·麦克斯韦的传记（可能是《改变一切的人》，但我不太确定），还有马库斯·杜·索托伊的《素数的音乐》（The Music of the Primes）。两本都是极好的入门读物，绝对改变了我的思维方式。
…recommendations of my own... A math teacher in school very kindly leant me a biography of James Clerk Maxwell (might have been 'The Man Who Changed Everything' but I'm not sure) and Marcus du Sautoy's 'Music of the Primes.' They were both great introductions, and definitely changed my thinking.
我在马库斯·杜·索托伊写的《素数的音乐》（The Music of the Primes）里读到的关于安德烈·韦伊（André Weil）最喜欢的故事之一：> 他在1940年4月7日写信给妻子埃芙琳，说：“我的数学工作进展超出了我最狂野的想象，我甚至有点担心——如果这只是在……
One of my favourite stories about André Weil from the book "The Music of the Primes" written by Marcus du Sautoy: > He wrote to his wife, Eveline, on April 7, 1940, telling her, 'My mathematics work is proceeding beyond my wildest hopes, and I am even a bit worried - if it is only in…
…一个7岁的孩子（还有一个快要出生了 :)），我发现下面这些书棒极了。它们激发了我的好奇心，希望我也能把这些传递给孩子们。1. 《欧几里得之窗》（Euclid's Window） 2. 《素数的音乐》（Music of the Primes）
…a 7 year old (and another one on the way :)) , I find the following books wonderful. They evoke wonder in me and hopefully I will be able to transmit some of this to the kids . 1. Euclid's Window 2. Music of the primes
…教材：http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/High_School_Mathematics_Extensi... - 里面有很多严谨却又通俗易懂的入门介绍，涵盖了一些相关的数学概念。马库斯·杜·索托伊的《素数的音乐》（The Music of the Primes）作为轻松读物也很棒，能让你了解这门学科的历史（以及一些非常基础的数学概念）。祝好，Tim
…textbook: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/High_School_Mathematics_Extensi... - there's a whole lot of rigarous but accessible introductions to some pertinent mathematical concepts. Marcus du Sautoy's 'The Music of the Primes' is also great as a bit of light reading to give you a sense of the history (and some very basic mathematical concepts) of the subject. Cheers, Tim
我很惊讶竟然没有人提马库斯·杜·索托伊。《数字迷宫》（The Num8er My5teries）、《素数的音乐》（The Music of the Primes）都写得妙趣横生。此外，西蒙·辛格的《费马大定理》（Fermat's Enigma）也让人手不释卷。我最近的另一个心头好是：丽贝卡·戈德斯坦的《不完备性：库尔特·哥德尔的证明与悖论》（Incompleteness: The Proof and Paradox of Kurt Gödel）。非常通俗易懂的传记……
I'm surprised there aren't any listings for Marcus du Sautoy. "The Num8er My5teries", "The Music of the Primes" - are delightful. Also, "Fermat's Enigma" by Simon Singh is riveting. My other recent favorite: "Incompleteness: The Proof and Paradox of Kurt Gödel" by Rebecca Goldstein. A highly readable biography…
他也写数学方面的读物，还主持过一部偶尔在 BBC Four 播出的数学系列纪录片。目前我手头有他的《素数的音乐》（The Music of The Primes），读得津津有味。顺便说一句，这些讨论里的链接都很实用，包括原帖里的链接。多谢了。
He also writes on mathematics, and presented a TV series on mathematics which occasionally appears on BBC Four. Currently I have, and am enjoying, his book The Music of The Primes. Useful links in these discussions, by the way, including the link in the original post. Thank you.
