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.

##A good motivation for studying math.

评分##头一次看到有关于数学的科普书来解释Langlands program, 或者准备一点儿说，是关于geometric langlands program的，很喜欢书里提到的那封A. Weil写给他妹妹的信，记得原来读E.Frenkle的那篇lecture note时候就有提到这个，特别有共鸣
评分##澎湃！

评分##去年在机场闲逛买下的书，为的是他的封面和名称。断断续续的读来感觉这本书的内容可能会被严肃数学学生深深吐糟，但是对于我这种半吊子工科生来说实在是很适合当作等车时的闲暇读物啊。
评分##Frenkel传奇的半生。这里面的科普，行外人是看不懂的吧

评分##独特的数学家作品。作者从早年作为苏联犹太人受歧视讲起，把他走上数学研究道路的过程娓娓道来，以他拍的一部电影收尾。作者很了不起的一点是：他不仅在朗兰兹纲领的研究中取得了很大的进展，而且努力让普罗大众了解数学的美和趣味。
