具體描述
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.

##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 評分##閱讀丘成桐自傳《我的幾何人生》，打亂瞭我的閱讀計劃，而且閱讀花時也超齣我的預料。本來我想看的是全球讀者兩個通宵讀完的肯·福萊特重磅新作《暗夜與黎明》。丘成桐，齣生於1949年，祖籍廣東蕉嶺。身為新中國的同齡人，沒有在祖國大地上過一天學，6個月的時候就被父母攜往香...
評分##丘老真是為八卦而生? 適閤對幾何感興趣但是看不懂偏微分方程的讀者 ｜走下神壇的陳省身華羅庚 ｜cameo:丁石孫 整部自傳讀得最上頭的，大約是前半部關於丘成桐的成長曆程。寶劍鋒從磨礪齣，梅花香自苦寒來。童年的丘成桐這一路走來，真是太不容易瞭。 丘成桐那超人的勤奮，也注定瞭他的數學天賦一定會綻放。據說年輕時的丘成桐就是一颱不知疲倦的計算機器，每天能在數學上高強度地投入16小...
