具體描述
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.

##2014-10-24 在讀 2015-02-28 讀完 有些傳記成分有些科普，書裏麵的物理解釋比某些國産專業書還專業，而且這還是寫數學的
評分##A good motivation for studying math.
評分##goodreads上的人說得對，這書應該分成兩本：傳記和科普。穿插著寫特別不好看，傳記部分略有趣，知道瞭猶太人在蘇聯想受數學物理的高等教育真是難。科普方麵，我真的很努力試圖讀懂，一開始還好，後麵就完全不懂瞭，跳過瞭科普部份。對數學感興趣的人可以一讀，文字很白開水特好讀。
評分##去年在機場閑逛買下的書，為的是他的封麵和名稱。斷斷續續的讀來感覺這本書的內容可能會被嚴肅數學學生深深吐糟，但是對於我這種半吊子工科生來說實在是很適閤當作等車時的閑暇讀物啊。
評分##Langlands The Grand Unified Theory：基本粒子分類是SU群，辮子群和DNA，歐拉函數和betti數的關係解釋瞭數論和辮子群，從LANGLANDS角度思考共形場論問題，纔能理解場論的本質。黎曼麯麵 數論 有限域上的麯綫三者等價
評分##講laglands綱領的科普書，穿插著講作者本人的追夢故事。估計有一大半熱愛數學的人都是在陰差陽錯一瞬間從對數學無感到喜歡的吧，而這種熱愛怕是一旦燃起就無法熄滅。數學實在太美好瞭——數學知識如此深奧，精緻，美好，但可供任何人隨時取用，並非那些“受過良好教育的少數人”的專利。
評分##澎湃！
評分1. Frenkel 顯然在語言錶達上相當有天賦，作為非英語母語的數學工作者，能夠完成這樣一部清晰而有吸引力的作品的確很棒；但是更為重要的是這本書傳達的核心觀點之一：即應該把數理研究最前沿最震撼人心的部分展現給青年人，大學初期教育甚至中學教育中能夠瞥一眼山峰會是很珍貴的體驗。 2. 這本書也算是 Frenkel 的自傳，瞭解瞭更多他的故事後，原來質疑的方麵（包括對媒體和大眾的過度注意力）消解瞭不少；另一方麵書中提到當初 Frenkel 決定繼續留在哈佛時 Borya Feigin 曾對他說在美國會被很多誘惑分散注意力，應該迴莫斯科。不知Feigin現在作何感想。 3. Langlands Program 真是太吸引人瞭，和 QFT 的對偶也許會成為未來的工作方嚮。
評分##專業的鼕鼕完全看不懂。看完的第一本mobi格式的書。
