书籍简介

人类起初是如何登上月球的？ 我们能拥有一台针头大小的超级计算机吗？

在这段激动人心的数字之旅中，休·巴克探索了数学如何帮助构建当今的技术，以及它塑造未来的迷人方式。 从绿色能源到 3D 打印，从量子密码学到机器学习，Quantum Leaps 揭示了现代技术中隐藏的数学。

这本书文笔优美，充满了巧妙的例子，它会让你意识到，如果没有我们强大的数学库，现代世界将是不可能的。

How did humans first reach the moon? Could we ever have a supercomputer the size of a pinhead?

In this thrilling numerical journey, Hugh Barker explores how mathematics has helped to build the technology of today, and the fascinating ways it is shaping the future. From green energy to 3-D printing and from quantum cryptography to machine learning, Quantum Leaps reveals the hidden mathematics in modern technology.

Beautifully written and full of ingenious examples, this book will make you realise how the modern world would be impossible without our formidable mathematical armoury.
