mi e' piaciuto il metodo della ricerca dimostrativa e la curiosita'delle notizie intorno agli oggetti matematici e ai loro protagonisti.avrei solo preferito che fosse un po' piu' approfondito.Ma capisco gli scopi dell'autore. The Mathematical Universe: An Alphabetical Journey Through the Great Proofs, Problems, and Personalities Very good book for a beginner. The Mathematical Universe: An Alphabetical Journey Through the Great Proofs, Problems, and Personalities 日本でいうとおおよそ中学と高等学校で習う数学を説明している．あとは少しだけ伝記（ラッセルとかコワレフスカヤ（ただしアルファベット表記では異なる））もある．数式による表現は抑えられている．文章は英語を母語にしない人にも親しめるものでないかと思う（英語を仕事上必要としないし，英語教育にも無関係な人間の感想）．初等的な内容に徹しているため私には食い足りなかった．この否定的な感想はあくまで個人的なものである． The Mathematical Universe: An Alphabetical Journey Through the Great Proofs, Problems, and Personalities Fantastic book and so interesting! I would recommend it! The Mathematical Universe: An Alphabetical Journey Through the Great Proofs, Problems, and Personalities The content of the book is absolutely fascinating; I believe that, like Morris Kline, William Dunham is a fantastic writer of subjects related to mathematics;The book is a delight to read: you learn about the Fundamental Theory of Arithmetic and get a proof of why there is an infinite number of primes in the 1st chapter!However turning to the quality of the hardcover my lord! What a piece of garbage!I opened it and the 1st page almost came flying out. All other pages are slowly coming out after turning them once. The pages are glued together, not sewn.Therefore, I extend a very large middle finger to John Wiley & Sons for charging almost 40 EUR for such a terrible product.
