我的幾何人生：從貧窮少年到數學皇帝，丘成桐自傳

The Shape of a Life: One Mathematician's Search for the Universe's Hidden Geometry

de 丘成桐, 史蒂夫・納迪斯（Steve Nadis） ...

Traducido por 夏木清 ...

「在哈佛，丘成桐一個人就是一個數學系！」——美國數學家 Isadore Singer丘成桐是當代最具影響力的數學家，成就卓越，獲獎無數，被紐約時報譽為「數學皇帝」。他在27歲時破解卡拉比猜想，30歲即成為普林斯頓大學終身教授，33歲更榮獲菲爾茲獎，是首位華人得主。他的研究為包括幾何學、弦論、廣義相對論眾多領域都提供洞見，也為黑洞理論做出重要貢獻。《我的幾何人生》以直率而真誠的筆觸，紀錄這位傑出數學家與眾不同、充滿意外的勵志故事與傳奇人生。書中講述他如何從貧窮的中國鄉村成長，因父親早逝，由母親一手撫養，度過顛沛流離的貧困童年。而後遠渡重洋，在異國求學，並在27的年輕之姿，在世界數學界一鳴驚人，獲得美國頂尖大學教職，並不斷解決科學上的難題，取得驚人突破。除了舉世矚目的個人成就外，他更投入大量的精力與心血，支持青年學子，培養新一代的數學家。丘成桐也特別撰寫〈我與臺灣〉篇章 ...

String Theory and the Geometry of the Universe's Hidden Dimensions

de Shing-Tung Yau, Steve Nadis ...

String theory says we live in a ten-dimensional universe, but that only four are accessible to our everyday senses. According to theorists, the missing six are curled up in bizarre structures known as Calabi-Yau manifolds. In The Shape of Inner Space, Shing-Tung Yau, the man who mathematically proved that these manifolds exist, argues that not only is geometry fundamental to string theory, it is ... Leer más

重力的幾何：數學大師丘成桐與廣義相對論的百年追尋

The Gravity of Math: How Geometry Rules the Universe

de 丘成桐, 史提夫‧納迪斯, Shing-Tung Yau, Steve Nadis ...

Series series 貓頭鷹書房
當代最受矚目的數學大師回顧二十世紀最偉大的物理發現　　1915年，愛因斯坦發表了他的廣義相對論場方程式，徹底改變了我們對重力的概念。愛因斯坦宣稱，重力不再是一種神秘的吸引物體的力量，而是僅僅是空間和時間彎曲的一種結果。換句話說，重力源於幾何本身。相對論不是愛因斯坦一個人發現的　　但是，愛因斯坦其實透過多位數學家的幫助，才有辦法做出這個物理學史上最大的結論。本書回顧廣義相對論的發現與發展歷程，從牛頓發現萬有引力定律出發，到愛因斯坦以幾何的數學語言重新表述重力，最終完成廣義相對論。我們可以看到數學大師黎曼、高斯以及物理重量級人物狄拉克、費曼、歐本海默，甚至霍金等人探求重力的真相。物理的深處，為什麼是數學？　　除了過程中眾多數學家與物理學家彼此合作或競爭的精采故事，本書也探索科學中最深刻的問題：為什麼我們對物理世界的最佳描述總是歸結為數學陳述？數學推動、甚至預測了很多物理學界的發現 ...

Sembra impossibile che spazi più piccoli di quelli che si possono umanamente immaginare, spazi a sei dimensioni, un milione di milioni di milioni di volte più piccoli di un elettrone, siano in grado di esercitare un'influenza tanto profonda su ogni parte dell'Universo da diventarne un tratto distintivo e caratterizzante.
