IL MATEMATICO CURIOSO (THE CURIOUS MATHEMATICIAN)
Book ID/图书代码: 01742010B36727
English Summary/英文概要: From shopping to the motorways, from the algebra of stilettos to the geometry of soccer, the author look at the world from a mathematician’s perspective, and shows us how mathematics is all around us – and how extraordinary this is.
“When I tap into my creative mode I can really see that maths is all around me: when I go to work, cook, collect my change from the café, look up at the sky, when I tie my shoelaces and it moves me every time [...] I hope that all the researchers, intellectuals, philosophers and curious mathematicians, as well as those who work towards the broadcast of knowledge will manage to spread the idea that also in the field of maths ‘where there is a will, there is a way’. I hope that this idea contributes to the improvement of everyone’s lives.
Enjoy reading this collection of notes and reflections on maths and... don’t forget curiosity!”
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 是否好奇為什麼別人樂透都會中嗎?讓數學來幫你解答! 從簡單的超市購物,到計算中獎率極低的樂透號碼;從一對一的擊劍運動到低比分的足球比賽,這中間有什麼共通性嗎?其實這背後都跟數學有關。
作者認為數學並不是一門艱深學問,只是它的外表被隱藏起來,而我們想像它跟日常生活無關,從我們出門工作、煮飯、喝咖啡甚至呆望天空,綁鞋帶,這其實都跟數學息息相關,此外作者還認為只要有好奇心,數學絕對是我們瞭解生活及進步的最佳動力!(VL)
