From the author of 'The Music of the Primes' and 'Finding Moonshine' comes a short, lively book on five mathematical problems that just refuse be solved -- and on how many everyday problems can be solved by maths. Every time we download a song from Itunes, take a flight across the Atlantic or talk on our mobile phones, we are relying on great mathematical inventions. Maths may...(展开全部)

马库斯·杜·索托伊（Marcus du Sautoy） 牛津大学数学教授、西蒙义讲座教授，英国工程暨物理研究委员会研究员，英国皇家协会研究员。马库斯是一位不按常理出牌的数学天才，他创造了“流行数学”的概念，将复杂的数字和数学概念用形象生动、通俗易懂的语言表达出来，被誉为“百家讲坛”式的学者。他是BBC科普节目嘉宾、TED演讲嘉宾，《泰晤士报》和《卫报》专栏作家，曾获伦敦数学会的贝维克奖、英国官佐勋章，并在2004年被英国《周日独立报》评为英国最杰出的科学家之一，被英国《绅士》杂志列为全英40岁以下最具影响力的百位人物之一。业余时间，他爱好足球运动，目前是英国作家足球队队员。

From the most famous mathematician in Britain comes the ultimate handikit to mathematics. From hopscotch to Wayne Rooney with lots and lots of games to play, The Number Mysteries shows why mathematics really is at the heart of everything we do. 'Mind-bending, fascinating and useful too. Maths didn't used to be this much fun.' Alan Davies. We are all taught how fundamental mat...(展开全部)
