  • ……共产主义/社会主义意识形态。(以前在中国生活的时候,我都是刻意对这类东西保持无知,而且我也从来没觉得它们多有意思。)8. 数学哲学。目前在读《Pi in the Sky》,神作一本,我强烈推荐给那些没有深厚形式数学背景、但喜欢历史和数学的程序员,读起来非常顺畅,而且充满了各种发散性思考……

    …communist/socialist ideology. (Previously, living in China, I have stayed consciously ignorant of such things, which I had never found particularly interesting.) 8. Philosophy of mathematics. Currently reading Pi in the Sky which is an awesome book which I would particularly recommend as a very readable, tangent-laden ponder for programmers without a significant background in formal mathematics who like history, mathematics…

  • 我非常怀念 John Barrows 写的《Pi in the Sky》。它更偏重几何和逻辑。而 Jeremy Kun 的《A Programmer's Introduction to Mathematics》覆盖面很广,如果你对编程也感兴趣的话,读这本很合适。……

    I remember Pi in the Sky by John Barrows very fondly. It has more of a focus on geometry and logic. A Programmer's Introduction to Mathematics by Jeremy Kun is wide ranging and appropriate if there is also interest in programming.…

  • 他的那本《Pi in the Sky》是我年轻时对我影响最大的两本数学书之一;另一本是 Edna Kramer 的《Modern Mathematics》。我之前还不知道他去世了。感谢发帖分享。

    His book Pi in the Sky was one of the two most influential math books for me in my youth; the other was Modern Mathematics by Edna Kramer. I had not heard of his death. Thanks for posting about it.

  • 就在几周前,我收到了一封特别暖心的邮件:> 嗨!这可能显得有点突兀,事实也确实如此,但几年前我在一次图书馆二手书特卖会上买到了《Pi in the Sky》这本书。上面盖着你个人的藏书章,所以我猜是你以前在图书馆义卖买下、后来又捐回去了?在这之前我从没读过任何觉得有意思的数学书,是它让我开始阅读……

    Just a few weeks ago I got an absolutely delightful email: > Ні! This might seem a little out of the blue and it is but a few years ago at a library book sale I got the book "Pi in the Sky". It has your personal library stamp on it, so I guess YOU got it at a library sale and then re-donated it? I had never read anything about math before that was at all interesting and it got me reading…
