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.

##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##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##A good motivation for studying math.
評分##A quick and fun read

評分##獨特的數學傢作品。作者從早年作為蘇聯猶太人受歧視講起，把他走上數學研究道路的過程娓娓道來，以他拍的一部電影收尾。作者很瞭不起的一點是：他不僅在朗蘭茲綱領的研究中取得瞭很大的進展，而且努力讓普羅大眾瞭解數學的美和趣味。
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##講laglands綱領的科普書，穿插著講作者本人的追夢故事。估計有一大半熱愛數學的人都是在陰差陽錯一瞬間從對數學無感到喜歡的吧，而這種熱愛怕是一旦燃起就無法熄滅。數學實在太美好瞭——數學知識如此深奧，精緻，美好，但可供任何人隨時取用，並非那些“受過良好教育的少數人”的專利。
