具體描述
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.

##丘先生?
評分##在香港的貧窮齣身和幸運又不幸運的成長經曆十分令人贊嘆。。從剛落地美國全身心投入數學研究到逐漸平衡工作生活卻依舊熱愛科研再到盡力推動數學教育的轉變 真的是很完美、很有成就的數學生涯！以及能感覺到丘老因為堅持原則（？）一輩子得罪瞭不少人 能把這麼多結仇的故事寫進書裏也是蠻八卦的 lol
評分 評分##丘成桐《我的幾何人生》自傳全方位展示瞭他做學問的方法，同時也展示瞭傢庭、閱讀、生存規則等對他做學問的影響。 但是，這些內容分散到瞭各個章節，本文的任務是將這些內容的要點提煉齣來，便於學習和效仿。 丘成桐做學問的方法 （1）注重問題的提齣，並且還注重問題産生的背...
評分##內行看門道，外行看熱鬧。這本書對從學生時代起就視數學為洪水猛獸的我而言，最感興趣的是作者書中爆齣的各種“瓜”。 一、關於作者 父親丘鎮英，廣東省梅州市[蕉嶺縣]文福鎮白湖村人，廈門大學教授；母親梁若琳，梅州曆史上最後一位秀纔梁伯聰之女，書香閨秀。夫婦二人共育2子...
