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##親情總在港颱,成就總在美國,恩怨總在大陸。
評分##看瞭 chapter 1,2,一半3
評分##私貨太多,不過料也確實很多
評分##1. 人類對宇宙和世界的認知還很渺小很微弱,現在的不可能都會證明成為可能 2. 絕頂聰明的科學傢,衣食無憂的聚在一起心無旁騖的相互碰撞互相啓發不斷突破邊界 3. 中國的和平發展拋光養晦的時期來之不易,美國現在的獨霸是由之前50年全世界最聰明的人奠基而來的,中國加油。4. 有人的地方就有江湖有爭鬥有派係,科學界也不例外,中國美國也都不例外
評分##驚訝於知乎上竟然沒人提這本書,以至於我隻知道那本《大宇之形》......中國學數學的不是最愛聊丘、華、陳、楊這些人的八卦麼......
評分##丘老真是為八卦而生???? 適閤對幾何感興趣但是看不懂偏微分方程的讀者 |走下神壇的陳省身華羅庚 |cameo:丁石孫

評分##在香港的貧窮齣身和幸運又不幸運的成長經曆十分令人贊嘆。。從剛落地美國全身心投入數學研究到逐漸平衡工作生活卻依舊熱愛科研再到盡力推動數學教育的轉變 真的是很完美、很有成就的數學生涯!以及能感覺到丘老因為堅持原則(?)一輩子得罪瞭不少人 能把這麼多結仇的故事寫進書裏也是蠻八卦的 lol
