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##頭一次看到有關於數學的科普書來解釋Langlands program, 或者準備一點兒說，是關於geometric langlands program的，很喜歡書裏提到的那封A. Weil寫給他妹妹的信，記得原來讀E.Frenkle的那篇lecture note時候就有提到這個，特彆有共鳴
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##Frenkel傳奇的半生。這裏麵的科普，行外人是看不懂的吧
評分##2014-10-24 在讀 2015-02-28 讀完 有些傳記成分有些科普，書裏麵的物理解釋比某些國産專業書還專業，而且這還是寫數學的
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##an analogy: geometric Langlands abstracted from algebraic Langlands
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。
