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.

##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##Lol
評分##驚訝於知乎上竟然沒人提這本書，以至於我隻知道那本《大宇之形》......中國學數學的不是最愛聊丘、華、陳、楊這些人的八卦麼......
評分##第一次讀到如此宮鬥的傳記 罵瞭整本陳省身 軸得讓人震驚
評分##The most spicy book I have ever read. But many materials are made up....
