具體描述
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.

評分##去年在機場閑逛買下的書，為的是他的封麵和名稱。斷斷續續的讀來感覺這本書的內容可能會被嚴肅數學學生深深吐糟，但是對於我這種半吊子工科生來說實在是很適閤當作等車時的閑暇讀物啊。
評分##Frenkel傳奇的半生。這裏麵的科普，行外人是看不懂的吧
評分##Langlands The Grand Unified Theory：基本粒子分類是SU群，辮子群和DNA，歐拉函數和betti數的關係解釋瞭數論和辮子群，從LANGLANDS角度思考共形場論問題，纔能理解場論的本質。黎曼麯麵 數論 有限域上的麯綫三者等價
評分##A quick and fun read
評分##一半傳記一半科普。更喜歡傳記的部分，沒想到蘇聯曾經還對猶太人有那麼多限製。主題是Langlands program，在科普中也是獨一無二的（這東西實在是超級重要）。總體還是挺好的PS：作者怎麼說也是這個方嚮的領軍人物之一，結果主頁的個人照片搞得像明星似的= =PPS：數學和物理的科普的書一直看得不多，因為總覺得那種用生活語言描述齣來的東西，和自己真正嚴格去學是完全是兩個感覺。
評分##澎湃！
評分##goodreads上的人說得對，這書應該分成兩本：傳記和科普。穿插著寫特別不好看，傳記部分略有趣，知道瞭猶太人在蘇聯想受數學物理的高等教育真是難。科普方麵，我真的很努力試圖讀懂，一開始還好，後麵就完全不懂瞭，跳過瞭科普部份。對數學感興趣的人可以一讀，文字很白開水特好讀。
評分##專業的鼕鼕完全看不懂。看完的第一本mobi格式的書。
