Shing-Tung Yau is the William Caspar Graustein Professor of Mathematics at Harvard University. He has been awarded a Fields Medal, a MacArthur Fellowship, a National Medal of Science, the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, the Crafoord Prize, the Veblen Prize, and other honors.
Steve Nadis is a science writer and contributing editor to Astronomy and Discover magazines.
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 评分##阅读丘成桐自传《我的几何人生》，打乱了我的阅读计划，而且阅读花时也超出我的预料。本来我想看的是全球读者两个通宵读完的肯·福莱特重磅新作《暗夜与黎明》。丘成桐，出生于1949年，祖籍广东蕉岭。身为新中国的同龄人，没有在祖国大地上过一天学，6个月的时候就被父母携往香...
评分##【须叔试读】总体上来说还是要推荐这本书的，其中关于数学的部分并没有造成很大的阅读阻碍，而且故事叙述得流畅自然且富有吸引力，让人很容易看下去。作者的语言，镇定，审慎，头脑冷静，思维有条理，对这个世界常怀积极的希望 。 他得到的结果，不能说是惊天动地，但是他喜欢...
