Paul Erdõs, one of the greatest mathematicians of the twentieth century, and certainly the most eccentric, was internationally recognized as a prodigy by age seventeen. Hungarian-born Erdõs believed that the meaning of life was to prove and conjecture. His work in the United States and all over the world has earned him the titles of the century's leading number theorist and the most prolific mathematician who ever lived. Erdõs's important work has proved pivotal to the development of computer science, and his unique personality makes him an unforgettable character in the world of mathematics. Incapable of the smallest of household tasks and having no permanent home or job, he was sustained by the generosity of colleagues and by his own belief in the beauty of numbers. Witty and filled with the sort of mathematical puzzles that intrigued Erdõs and continue to fascinate mathematicians today, My Brain Is Open is the story of this strange genius and a journey in his footsteps through the world of mathematics, where universal truths await discovery like hidden treasures and where brilliant proofs are poetry.

这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
就我认识的大多数人来说,数学是一场噩梦。为什么我要证明这个奇怪的东西?为什么通过ABC的条件就能得出D的结论?你看这个公式,它又长又宽,它能吃吗? 我们痛苦于一系列复杂的公式,拗口的定理,莫名其妙的逻辑。如果谁说数学是非常美妙的,我们一定像看外星人一样,只想离“... (展开)> 更多书评 32篇
