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.

评分##Langlands The Grand Unified Theory：基本粒子分类是SU群，辫子群和DNA，欧拉函数和betti数的关系解释了数论和辫子群，从LANGLANDS角度思考共形场论问题，才能理解场论的本质。黎曼曲面 数论 有限域上的曲线三者等价
评分##A quick and fun read
评分1. Frenkel 显然在语言表达上相当有天赋，作为非英语母语的数学工作者，能够完成这样一部清晰而有吸引力的作品的确很棒；但是更为重要的是这本书传达的核心观点之一：即应该把数理研究最前沿最震撼人心的部分展现给青年人，大学初期教育甚至中学教育中能够瞥一眼山峰会是很珍贵的体验。 2. 这本书也算是 Frenkel 的自传，了解了更多他的故事后，原来质疑的方面（包括对媒体和大众的过度注意力）消解了不少；另一方面书中提到当初 Frenkel 决定继续留在哈佛时 Borya Feigin 曾对他说在美国会被很多诱惑分散注意力，应该回莫斯科。不知Feigin现在作何感想。 3. Langlands Program 真是太吸引人了，和 QFT 的对偶也许会成为未来的工作方向。
评分##看這本書的時機很對，上學期剛上完抽代，對書中所介紹的內容也大都熟知/有大概認識。不過對我來說最值得看的部分倒不是關於數學本身的部分，而是作者神奇的經歷⋯
评分##A good motivation for studying math.
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##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
