具体描述
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.

评分##第一次读到如此宫斗的传记 骂了整本陈省身 轴得让人震惊
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......
评分##随便标记一下封面
评分##1. 人类对宇宙和世界的认知还很渺小很微弱，现在的不可能都会证明成为可能 2. 绝顶聪明的科学家，衣食无忧的聚在一起心无旁骛的相互碰撞互相启发不断突破边界 3. 中国的和平发展抛光养晦的时期来之不易，美国现在的独霸是由之前50年全世界最聪明的人奠基而来的，中国加油。4. 有人的地方就有江湖有争斗有派系，科学界也不例外，中国美国也都不例外
评分##亲情总在港台，成就总在美国，恩怨总在大陆。
评分##看到有人说这个书spicy 感觉说得很对...
