具体描述
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.

《我的几何一生》是一本自传体书，由获得"201全球华侨华人年度人物"称号的国际知名数学家丘成桐口述，美国知名科学作家史蒂夫·纳迪斯撰写。书中详尽记录了这位伟大的数学家传奇一生的经历。 传记，尤其是对思维更加理性的数学家，第一感觉阅读其自传是枯燥的，但是此书不然，...
评分##大概每个人都知道，数学界有个名叫高斯的人，被称作“数学王子”。 但是你知道吗，数学界还有个名头在高斯之上的人，被称作“数学皇帝”。这个人，名叫丘成桐。传说中，在哈佛，他一个人就是一个数学系。 最初知道丘成桐的大名，是在上学时读《宇宙的琴弦》，看到关于弦理论中...
评分##亲情总在港台，成就总在美国，恩怨总在大陆。
评分##丘成桐是名声在国内仅次于陈省身的数学大师，本来他获得的是奖给40岁以下的菲尔兹奖，陈是不限岁数的沃尔夫奖，但在陈先生去世后，丘又获得了沃尔夫奖。 这本自传里前面是他小时候的艰难生活过程，丘一开始并没有展现出非常过人的天赋，是后来才慢慢对数学产生兴趣，然后又辗转...
评分 评分人生几何？几何人生！ 丘，孔子的名，数学家丘成桐的姓。他的姓和孔子的名雷同外，也在学习中深受孔圣的启迪。孔子强调“只有努力学习才能获得真知。”他的真知灼见丘成桐教授领悟得十分深刻，并且一生都在践行。 他出生于中国，成长于汕头，成长于中国香港，后卦美国深造并在...
