书籍简介

Infinite Powers : The Story of Calculus - The Language of the Universe 无穷的力量：微积分揭示宇宙的秘密 Steven Strogatz

入围 2019 年英国皇家学会科学图书奖

来自世界上重要的数学家之一的微积分（及其背后的人）的权威历史。

这是数学史上最伟大思想的迷人故事：微积分。 没有它，就不会有电脑、微波炉、GPS 和太空旅行。 但在它赋予现代人几乎无限的力量之前，微积分背后已经经历了几个世纪的争论、竞争，甚至死亡。

Steven Strogatz 教授带领我们踏上三千年的惊心动魄之旅，描绘了这一开创性成就从阿基米德时代到当今混沌理论和人工智能突破的发展历程。 《无穷的力量》充满了从毕达哥拉斯到傅立叶的特殊人物，是一部引人入胜的人类戏剧，它揭示了现代文明几乎所有方面的微积分遗产，包括科学、政治、医学、哲学等等。

Shortlisted for the Royal Society Science Book Prize 2019

A magisterial history of calculus (and the people behind it) from one of the world's foremost mathematicians.

This is the captivating story of mathematics' greatest ever idea: calculus. Without it, there would be no computers, no microwave ovens, no GPS, and no space travel. But before it gave modern man almost infinite powers, calculus was behind centuries of controversy, competition, and even death.

Taking us on a thrilling journey through three millennia, professor Steven Strogatz charts the development of this seminal achievement from the days of Archimedes to today's breakthroughs in chaos theory and artificial intelligence. Filled with idiosyncratic characters from Pythagoras to Fourier, Infinite Powers is a compelling human drama that reveals the legacy of calculus on nearly every aspect of modern civilisation, including science, politics, medicine, philosophy, and much besides.
