具体描述
Shing-Tung Yau is the William Caspar Graustein Professor of Mathematics at Harvard University. He has been awarded a Fields Medal, a MacArthur Fellowship, a National Medal of Science, the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, the Crafoord Prize, the Veblen Prize, and other honors.
Steve Nadis is a science writer and contributing editor to Astronomy and Discover magazines.
A Fields medalist recounts his lifelong transnational effort to uncover the geometric shape—the Calabi-Yau manifold—that may store the hidden dimensions of our universe.
Harvard geometer and Fields medalist Shing-Tung Yau has provided a mathematical foundation for string theory, offered new insights into black holes, and mathematically demonstrated the stability of our universe. In this autobiography, Yau reflects on his improbable journey to becoming one of the world’s most distinguished mathematicians. Beginning with an impoverished childhood in China and Hong Kong, Yau takes readers through his doctoral studies at Berkeley during the height of the Vietnam War protests, his Fields Medal–winning proof of the Calabi conjecture, his return to China, and his pioneering work in geometric analysis. This new branch of geometry, which Yau built up with his friends and colleagues, has paved the way for solutions to several important and previously intransigent problems. With complicated ideas explained for a broad audience, this book offers readers not only insights into the life of an eminent mathematician, but also an accessible way to understand advanced and highly abstract concepts in mathematics and theoretical physics.

评分 评分 评分##”对我来说，数学赋予我的，是一本让我在世界各处随意走动的护照，同时也是探索这世界强而有力的工具。几十年来我研究学问，处世为人，屡败屡进，未曾气馁。我一声从未放弃追寻至真至美”。丘公应该就是太史公所谓的倜傥非常之人吧。科学和艺术，一个求真，一个求美，而真和美...
评分 评分##丘成桐《我的几何人生》自传全方位展示了他做学问的方法，同时也展示了家庭、阅读、生存规则等对他做学问的影响。 但是，这些内容分散到了各个章节，本文的任务是将这些内容的要点提炼出来，便于学习和效仿。 丘成桐做学问的方法 （1）注重问题的提出，并且还注重问题产生的背...
评分##在香港的贫穷出身和幸运又不幸运的成长经历十分令人赞叹。。从刚落地美国全身心投入数学研究到逐渐平衡工作生活却依旧热爱科研再到尽力推动数学教育的转变 真的是很完美、很有成就的数学生涯！以及能感觉到丘老因为坚持原则（？）一辈子得罪了不少人 能把这么多结仇的故事写进书里也是蛮八卦的 lol
