具體描述
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.

##比 小說 有趣的書 都沒人翻譯，沒人看，太可惜瞭，丘成桐的書
評分##隨便標記一下封麵
評分相比起中文版的閹割以及字詞上的扭麯，原文提供瞭更為豐富詳實的案例，其錶述方式也更為直接、不著修飾。
評分##許多大師們的另一麵
評分##a fun read. some notes: 1. As Yao suggested during a dinner, be the best in your domain, you gonna be connected to the best of other domains, Yau seems to do the exactly the same. 2. do something fundamental; 3. if you don't feel like bending over, get yourself ready to say f**k off (or the other way around);
評分##丘先生????
評分##The most spicy book I have ever read. But many materials are made up....
評分##私貨太多，不過料也確實很多
