几年前，“数学之美”系列文章原刊载于谷歌黑板报，获得上百万次点击，得到读者高度评价。读者说，读了“数学之美”，才发现大学时学的数学知识，比如马尔可夫链、矩阵计算，甚至余弦函数原来都如此亲切，并且栩栩如生，才发现自然语言和信息处理这么有趣。
在纸本书的创作中，作者吴军博士几乎把所有文章都重写了一遍，为的是把高深的数学原理讲得更加通俗易懂，让非专业读者也能领略数学的魅力。读者通过具体的例子学到的是思考问题的方式 —— 如何化繁为简，如何用数学去解决工程问题，如何跳出固有思维不断去思考创新。
第二版增加了针对大数据和机器学习的内容，以便满足人们对当下技术的学习需求；同时，根据专家和读者的反馈更正了一些错漏，并更新了部分内容。
《数学之美》第一版荣获国家图书馆第八届文津图书奖；
入选广电总局“2014年向全国青少年推荐百种优秀图书书目”；

The updated new edition of the classic and comprehensive guide to the history of mathematics For more than forty years, A History of Mathematics has been the reference of choice for those looking to learn about the fascinating history of humankind’s relationship with numbers, shapes, and patterns. This revised edition features up-to-date coverage of topics such as Fermat’s Last Theorem and the Poincaré Conjecture , in addition to recent advances in areas such as finite group theory and computer-aided proofs. Distills thousands of years of mathematics into a single, approachable volume Covers mathematical discoveries, concepts, and thinkers, from Ancient Egypt to the present Includes up-to-date references and an extensive chronological table of mathematical and general historical developments. Whether you're interested in the age of Plato and Aristotle or Poincaré and Hilbert, whether you want to know more about the Pythagorean theorem or the golden mean, A History of Mathematics is an essential reference that will help you explore the incredible history of mathematics and the men and women who created it.

本书是世界著名的数学科普读物，它搜集了许多经典的数学珍品，对整个数学领域中的基本概念与方法，做了精深而生动的阐述。无论是数学专业人士，或是愿意作数学思考者都可以阅读本书。特别对中学数学教师、大学生和高中生，本书是一本极好的参考书。

微积分是人类智慧最伟大的成就之一．300年前，受天文学方面问题的启发，牛顿(Newton)和莱布尼茨(Leibniz)阐发了微积分的诸多概念．自那时以来，每一世纪都证明了微积分在阐明数学、物理科学、工程学以及社会和生物科学方面问题的强大威力． 由于微积分具有将复杂问题归纳为简单规则和步骤的非凡能力，迄今已获得相当大的成功．正因为如此，微积分的教学也存在着危险：很可能将这一学科仅仅教授成一些规则和步骤，从而既忽略了数学本身，也忽略了它的实际价值．由于美国国家科学基金会的慷慨资助，我们以哈佛大学为首的合作组，尝试创立一门新的微积分课程以期恢复它的洞察力．本书是这一努力的一部分．

微積分研究兩類問題：求切線與求面積，分別發展出微分學與積分學。
微積分最迷人的特色是涉及無窮步驟，落實於無窮小的演算與極限操作，所以極具深度、難度與美。
從古希臘開始，數學家經過兩千年的奮鬥，累積許多人的成果，到了十七世紀，終於由牛頓與萊布尼茲發展出微分法並且看出微分與積分的互逆性，從而揭開求切、求積、求極、變化與運動現象之謎，於是微積分誕生。
講述這段驚心動魄的思想探險之旅，就構成了本書的主題。

The Magic of Math is the math book you wish you had in school. Using a delightful assortment of examples—from ice cream scoops and poker hands to measuring mountains and making magic squares—this book empowers you to see the beauty, simplicity, and truly magical properties behind those formulas and equations that once left your head spinning. You’ll learn the key ideas of classic areas of mathematics like arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus, but you’ll also have fun fooling around with Fibonacci numbers, investigating infinity, and marveling over mathematical magic tricks that will make you look like a math genius!
A mathematician who is known throughout the world as the “mathemagician,” Arthur Benjamin mixes mathematics and magic to make the subject fun, attractive, and easy to understand. In The Magic of Math, Benjamin does more than just teach skills: with a tip of his magic hat, he takes you on as his apprentice to teach you how to appreciate math the way he does. He motivates you to learn something new about how to solve for x, because there is real pleasure to be found in the solution to a challenging problem or in using numbers to do something useful. But what he really wants you to do is be able to figure out why, for that’s where you’ll find the real beauty, power, and magic of math.
If you are already someone who likes math, this book will dazzle and amuse you. If you never particularly liked or understood math, Benjamin will enlighten you and—with a wave of his magic wand—turn you into a math lover.

This book introduces the mathematics that supports advanced computer programming and the analysis of algorithms. The primary aim of its well-known authors is to provide a solid and relevant base of mathematical skills - the skills needed to solve complex problems, to evaluate horrendous sums, and to discover subtle patterns in data. It is an indispensable text and reference not only for computer scientists - the authors themselves rely heavily on it! - but for serious users of mathematics in virtually every discipline. Concrete Mathematics is a blending of CONtinuous and disCRETE mathematics. "More concretely," the authors explain, "it is the controlled manipulation of mathematical formulas, using a collection of techniques for solving problems." The subject matter is primarily an expansion of the Mathematical Preliminaries section in Knuth's classic Art of Computer Programming, but the style of presentation is more leisurely, and individual topics are covered more deeply. Several new topics have been added, and the most significant ideas have been traced to their historical roots. The book includes more than 500 exercises, divided into six categories.Complete answers are provided for all exercises, except research problems, making the book particularly valuable for self-study. Major topics include: *Sums *Recurrences *Integer functions *Elementary number theory *Binomial coefficients *Generating functions *Discrete probability *Asymptotic methods This second edition includes important new material about mechanical summation. In response to the widespread use of the first edition as a reference book, the bibliography and index have also been expanded, and additional nontrivial improvements can be found on almost every page. Readers will appreciate the informal style of Concrete Mathematics. Particularly enjoyable are the marginal graffiti contributed by students who have taken courses based on this material. The authors want to convey not only the importance of the techniques presented, but some of the fun in learning and using them. 0201558025B04062001

Now in its fourth edition, Calculus reflects the strong consensus within the mathematics community for a balance between contemporary and traditional ideas. Building on previous work, it brings together the best of both new and traditional curricula in an effort to meet the needs of instructors and students alike. The text exhibits the same strengths from earlier editions including the Rule of Four, an emphasis on modeling, exposition that is easy to understand, and a flexible approach to technology.

Renowned professor and author Gilbert Strang demonstrates that linear algebra is a fascinating subject by showing both its beauty and value. While the mathematics is there, the effort is not all concentrated on proofs. Strang's emphasis is on understanding. He explains concepts, rather than deduces. This book is written in an informal and personal style and teaches real mathematics. The gears change in Chapter 2 as students reach the introduction of vector spaces. Throughout the book, the theory is motivated and reinforced by genuine applications, allowing pure mathematicians to teach applied mathematics.
