内容简介

　　Recent years have brought a revival of work on string theory, which has been a source of fascination since its origins nearly twenty years ago.There seems to be a widely perceived need for a systematic, pedagogical exposition of the present state of knowledge about string theory. We hope that this book will help to meet this need. To give a comprehensive account of such a vast topic as string theory would scarcely be possible,even in two volumes with the length to which these have grown. Indeed,we have had to omit many important subjects, while treating others only sketchily. String field theory is omitted entirely (though the subject of chapter 11 is closely related to light-cone string field theory). Conformal field theory is not developed systematically, though much of the background material needed to understand recent papers on this subject is presented in chapter 3 and elsewhere.

这个内容的书，不大好找。而且价格都很贵。这个算是比较便宜的了。缺点就是影印的不够清晰。

　　不可否认，美国人学工程及数学的人确实越来越少，学商及法律的人也越来越多，但这并不意味着一个普通的（average）受过教育的美国人的数学水平要低于一个普通的受过教育的中国人。即使是在美国的商学院、法学院里数学好的学生肯定也是美国人。这是因为美国的中学提倡的是通才教育，高中的数学是有一定标准的，并且数学中强调逻辑与推理的训练。而中国的学生初中毕业就开始文理分科，其结果是美国最烂的高中毕业的学生的数学水平也要比中国最好的大学毕业的文科博士高很多。美国的正规学校，初中以前基本放羊，但一到高中，立刻严谨。美国一个正规高中学生受到的学业压力不比中国孩子轻。一个普通的中国人在他（她）受教育的过程中，只有在初中以前，有可能有机会比美国人数学好。

古希腊时，柏拉图学院的门口戳了快牌子“不懂几何的别进来”。柏老师意思很简单：我这儿是讲道理的地方，你丫要是妄想像中国人那样胡搅蛮缠，哪凉快哪呆着去！当然你非要把这块牌子理解成“华人与狗不得入内”，我也找不出反驳的理由，因为普遍地说中国人至今还没认同讲道理是构成文明的一个根本要素。柏老师这种对基本数学和逻辑知识的尊重的传统至今还保留在西方教育系统中。
