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.

評分##閱讀丘成桐自傳《我的幾何人生》，打亂瞭我的閱讀計劃，而且閱讀花時也超齣我的預料。本來我想看的是全球讀者兩個通宵讀完的肯·福萊特重磅新作《暗夜與黎明》。丘成桐，齣生於1949年，祖籍廣東蕉嶺。身為新中國的同齡人，沒有在祖國大地上過一天學，6個月的時候就被父母攜往香...
評分##”對我來說，數學賦予我的，是一本讓我在世界各處隨意走動的護照，同時也是探索這世界強而有力的工具。幾十年來我研究學問，處世為人，屢敗屢進，未曾氣餒。我一聲從未放棄追尋至真至美”。丘公應該就是太史公所謂的倜儻非常之人吧。科學和藝術，一個求真，一個求美，而真和美...
評分##【須叔試讀】總體上來說還是要推薦這本書的，其中關於數學的部分並沒有造成很大的閱讀阻礙，而且故事敘述得流暢自然且富有吸引力，讓人很容易看下去。作者的語言，鎮定，審慎，頭腦冷靜，思維有條理，對這個世界常懷積極的希望 。 他得到的結果，不能說是驚天動地，但是他喜歡...
