具体描述
In "Love and Math," Berkeley professor Edward Frenkel shows that mathematics, far from occupying a specialist niche, goes to the heart of all matter and unites us across cultures, continents, and centuries. In this heartfelt and passionate book, Frenkel reveals a side of mathematics we've never seen, suffused with all the beauty and wonder of a work of art, appealing not only to the cerebral, but to the human and the spiritual.
"Love and Math" tells two intertwined stories: of amazing mathematics and of the journey of one young man learning and living it. Growing up in Russia, Frenkel was denied entrance to university to study mathematics because of discriminatory policies. Yet with the help of his mentors he circumvented the system to become one of the twenty-first century's leading mathematicians. He now works on one of the biggest ideas to come out of mathematics in the last 50 years: the Langlands Program, considered by many to be a Grand Unified Theory of Mathematics.
While most people are not blocked from studying mathematics, many see it as being impenetrable, or worse, irrelevant to their lives. At its core, "Love and Math" is a story about gaining entry to the previously inaccessible, which can enrich our lives and empower us to understand better the world and our place in it. It is an invitation to discover the wonders of the hidden universe of mathematics.

##Frenkel传奇的半生。这里面的科普，行外人是看不懂的吧
评分1. Frenkel 显然在语言表达上相当有天赋，作为非英语母语的数学工作者，能够完成这样一部清晰而有吸引力的作品的确很棒；但是更为重要的是这本书传达的核心观点之一：即应该把数理研究最前沿最震撼人心的部分展现给青年人，大学初期教育甚至中学教育中能够瞥一眼山峰会是很珍贵的体验。 2. 这本书也算是 Frenkel 的自传，了解了更多他的故事后，原来质疑的方面（包括对媒体和大众的过度注意力）消解了不少；另一方面书中提到当初 Frenkel 决定继续留在哈佛时 Borya Feigin 曾对他说在美国会被很多诱惑分散注意力，应该回莫斯科。不知Feigin现在作何感想。 3. Langlands Program 真是太吸引人了，和 QFT 的对偶也许会成为未来的工作方向。
评分##2014-10-24 在读 2015-02-28 读完 有些传记成分有些科普，书里面的物理解释比某些国产专业书还专业，而且这还是写数学的
评分##我没看懂他怎么解释Gelois Group，没看懂什么是Langlands Program，但是我想我看懂了他想说什么
评分##A good motivation for studying math.

评分##如果不能理解langlands纲领的重要性，在纯数学或是理论物理这种行当，恐怕会被前沿的领军人物越甩越远。
评分##作者毫不犹豫的将自己的研究原汁原味的展现, 因为数学之爱能冲破所有的障碍
