书籍简介

数学的无限奥秘在这个屡获殊荣的数学书的更新版展开。从数百万年前古老的“蚂蚁里程表”开始，穿越时间，到达我们对更高维度的现代追求，多产的博学家克利福德·皮克弗（Clifford Pickover）涵盖了数学历史上的主要里程碑。读者在阅读这本引人入胜的选集时会遇到许多概念：蝉生成的素数、幻方和蝴蝶效应。

每个主题都以丰富的插图呈现，包括公式和定理的实际应用。这次再版包括四个新条目：2013年（质数之间的有界间隙），2015年（Erdos差异问题解决），2016年（8维球体包装）和2023年（Einstein Tiles及以后）。每个主题都以丰富的插图呈现，包括公式和定理的实际应用。

Math's infinite mysteries unfold in this updated edition of the award-winning The Math Book. Beginning millions of years ago with ancient “ant odometers,” and moving through time to our modern-day quest for higher dimensions, prolific polymath Clifford Pickover covers major milestones in mathematical history. Among the numerous concepts readers will encounter as they dip into this inviting anthology: cicada-generated prime numbers, magic squares, and the butterfly effect.

Each topic is presented in a lavishly illustrated spread, including formulas and real-world applications of the theorems. This reissue includes four new entries: 2013 (Bounded Gaps Between Primes), 2015 (Erdos Discrepancy Problem Solved), 2016 (Sphere Packing in Dimension 8), and 2023 (Einstein Tiles and Beyond). Each topic is presented in a lavishly illustrated spread, including formulas and real-world applications of the theorems.
