书籍简介

大事记由于数学的主要分支是与科学一起成长和扩展的，所以欣赏和理解数学的较有效方式是在对自然的研究方面。不幸的是，数学与自然研究的关系在枯燥的、以技术为导向的教科书中被忽视了，因此，莫里斯·克莱因教授在这本出色的书中描述了数学与物理科学的同步发展。作者以一种体现博学和热情的方式，对基础数学从算术、代数、几何、三角，到微积分、微分方程和非欧几里得几何的发展进行了令人振奋的描述。同时，克莱恩博士展示了数学是如何用于光学、天文学、万有引力定律下的运动、声学、电磁学和其他现象的。历史和传记材料也包括在内，而数学符号则被控制在较低限度。

这是一部关于从希腊人时代到现代的数学思想的出色介绍。对有数学倾向的高中生和大学生，以及任何想了解的。也许是数学成就的真正伟大的读者来说，这本书会有很大兴趣。

ChronicleSince the major branches of mathematics grew and expanded in conjunction with science, the most effective way to appreciate and understand mathematics is in terms of the study of nature. Unfortunately, the relationship of mathematics to the study of nature is neglected in dry, technique-oriented textbooks, and it has remained for Professor Morris Kline to describe the simultaneous growth of mathematics and the physical sciences in this remarkable book. In a manner that reflects both erudition and enthusiasm, the author provides a stimulating account of the development of basic mathematics from arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry, to calculus, differential equations, and the non-Euclidean geometries. At the same time, Dr. Kline shows how mathematics is used in optics, astronomy, motion under the law of gravitation, acoustics, electromagnetism, and other phenomena. Historical and biographical materials are also included, while mathematical notation has been kept to a minimum.

This is an excellent presentation of mathematical ideas from the time of the Greeks to the modern era. It will be of great interest to the mathematically inclined high school and college student, as well as to any reader who wants to understand ― perhaps for the first time ― the true greatness of mathematical achievements.
