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.

落花人独立，微雨燕双飞，几何人生，人生几何。 有多少人，一生能坚持做一件事，还能把这件事做好呢？应该是很少的，在这些少之又少的人当中有这样一个人，丘成桐。 丘成桐，一个被外国杂志称作“数学皇帝”的数学家，获得过无数的学术荣誉，在这些璀璨光环之下的丘成桐是什么...
评分##惊讶于知乎上竟然没人提这本书，以至于我只知道那本《大宇之形》......中国学数学的不是最爱聊丘、华、陈、杨这些人的八卦么......
