Hacker News 上怎么说

  • 这资源看着真棒!我去数据库里查了《数魔(The Number Devil)》[1],这是我最喜欢的适合初中生(以及任何喜欢天马行空的数学表达形式的人!)读的数学书之一。果然在里面,评分很高,老师们的评论也是……

    This looks like a wonderful resuorce! I checked the database for The Number Devil [1], one of my favorite math books for middle school age (and anyone who is delighted by imaginative presentations of math!). Sure enough, it's there, highly rated, and the comments from teachers and…

  • ……不过,它们并没有注水简化。它们切入主题的方式非常干货满满,同时也让人很容易理解。它们涵盖了物理、遗传学等严肃学科。还有:《数魔:一个数学冒险故事(The Number Devil: A Mathematical Adventure)》,跟我儿子一起读这本书时,是我第一次听说斐波那契数,而我高中时学过不少数学。另外还有:《微积分之旅(A Tour of the Calculus)》。

    …However, they are not watered down. They are very meaty approaches to the subject that also make the subjects approachable. They cover things like physics, genetics and other serious subjects. Also: The Number Devil: A Mathematical Adventure Reading this with my sons is the first time I had heard of Fibonacci numbers and I had a lot of math in high school. Also also: A Tour of the Calculus.

  • 对于有娃的技术宅父母来说,有一本书非常合适,那就是《数魔(The Number Devil)》。它是绝佳的睡前亲子共读材料。

    One book that works well for techy parents who have kids is The Number Devil. It's fantastic read-with-your-kid-at-bedtime material.

  • 如果你在找给大一点的孩子(比如 9 到 13 岁)看的书,这里列出的《逆转男孩(The Boy Who Reversed Himself)》、《数算家(The Man Who Counted)》和《数魔(The Number Devil)》都很棒。对于更小的读者,比如 6 到 9 岁,我推荐《数学冒险(Math Adventures)》系列绘本,比如《周长骑士与不可量之岛(Sir Cumference and the Isle of Immeter)》,图文并茂,而且介绍了数学……

    If you're looking for books for older children, e.g. 9-13, The Boy Who Reversed Himself, The Man Who Counted and The Number Devil, which are listed here, are fantastic. For the younger audience, e.g. 6-9, I suggest the Math Adventures books, e.g. Sir Cumference and the Isle of Immeter, which are illustrated and introduce mathematical…

  • 这真的取决于很多因素。你可能会从图解类作品中收获颇丰,比如《看漫画学……(Cartoon Guides ...)》系列。你也可能从适合孩子、有趣的书中受益,比如《数魔(The Number Devil)》或《爱丽丝漫游量子奇境(Alice in Quantum Land)》。或者你也能从相关主题的“章节书”中大获裨益——也就是那些满篇都是正经英文段落而不是无休止公式的书。这可能包括……

    This really depends on a lot of factors. You might get a lot out if illustrated works, such the Cartoon Guides ... series. You might benefit from kid-friendly, fun books, like The Number Devil or Alice in Quantum Land. Or you might benefit enormously from looking for "chapter books" on the subjects -- books filled with paragraphs of actual English instead of endless formulas. This might include…

  • 小时候我经常反复看《数魔(The Number Devil)》。它用一个可爱的小故事给我引入了一些非常酷的数学概念。最后一章还包含一张《数学原理(Principia Mathematica)》证明 1 + 1 = 2 的插图——主要是为了震撼……

    As a child, I re-read The Number Devil constantly. It introduced me to some really cool mathematical ideas, couched in a cute story. The very last chapter includes a picture of the Principia Mathematica's proof of 1 + 1 = 2 -- mostly for shock…
