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.

##A quick and fun read
评分##我没看懂他怎么解释Gelois Group，没看懂什么是Langlands Program，但是我想我看懂了他想说什么
评分##专业的冬冬完全看不懂。看完的第一本mobi格式的书。
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##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
评分##独特的数学家作品。作者从早年作为苏联犹太人受歧视讲起，把他走上数学研究道路的过程娓娓道来，以他拍的一部电影收尾。作者很了不起的一点是：他不仅在朗兰兹纲领的研究中取得了很大的进展，而且努力让普罗大众了解数学的美和趣味。
评分##讲laglands纲领的科普书，穿插着讲作者本人的追梦故事。估计有一大半热爱数学的人都是在阴差阳错一瞬间从对数学无感到喜欢的吧，而这种热爱怕是一旦燃起就无法熄灭。数学实在太美好了——数学知识如此深奥，精致，美好，但可供任何人随时取用，并非那些“受过良好教育的少数人”的专利。
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⋯
