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.

##看到有人說這個書spicy 感覺說得很對...
評分##Lol
評分##許多大師們的另一麵
評分##隨便標記一下封麵
評分##在香港的貧窮齣身和幸運又不幸運的成長經曆十分令人贊嘆。。從剛落地美國全身心投入數學研究到逐漸平衡工作生活卻依舊熱愛科研再到盡力推動數學教育的轉變 真的是很完美、很有成就的數學生涯！以及能感覺到丘老因為堅持原則（？）一輩子得罪瞭不少人 能把這麼多結仇的故事寫進書裏也是蠻八卦的 lol
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##私貨太多，不過料也確實很多
評分##親情總在港颱，成就總在美國，恩怨總在大陸。
評分##The most spicy book I have ever read. But many materials are made up....
