A Fields medalist recounts his lifelong transnational effort to uncover the geometric shape—the Calabi-Yau manifold—that may store the hidden dimensions of our universe.
Harvard geometer and Fields medalist Shing-Tung Yau has provided a mathematical foundation for string theory, offered new insights into black holes, and mathematically demonstrated the stability of our universe. In this autobiography, Yau reflects on his improbable journey to becoming one of the world’s most distinguished mathematicians. Beginning with an impoverished childhood in China and Hong Kong, Yau takes readers through his doctoral studies at Berkeley during the height of the Vietnam War protests, his Fields Medal–winning proof of the Calabi conjecture, his return to China, and his pioneering work in geometric analysis. This new branch of geometry, which Yau built up with his friends and colleagues, has paved the way for solutions to several important and previously intransigent problems. With complicated ideas explained for a broad audience, this book offers readers not only insights into the life of an eminent mathematician, but also an accessible way to understand advanced and highly abstract concepts in mathematics and theoretical physics.

These Lecture Notes are an expanded version of the Fermi Lectures Atiyah gave at Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, the Loeb Lectures at Harvard and the Whittemore Lectures at Yale, in 1978. In all cases he was addressing a mixed audience of mathematicians and physicists and the presentation had to be tailored accordingly. Throughout, Atiyah presented the mathematical material in a somewhat unorthodox order, following a pattern which he felt would relate the new techniques to familiar ground for physicists.
The main new results presented in the lectures, namely the construction of all multi-istanton solutions of Yang-Mills fields, is the culmination of several years of fruitful interaction between many physicists and mathematicians. The major breakthrough came with the observation by Ward that the complex methods developed by Penrose in his “twistor programme” were ideally suited to the study of the Yang-Mills equations. The instanton problem was then seen to be equivalent to a problem in complex analysis and to one in algebraic geometry. Using the powerful methods of modern algebraic geometry it was not long before the problem was finally solved.

This well-accepted introduction to computational geometry is a textbook for high-level undergraduate and low-level graduate courses. The focus is on algorithms and hence the book is well suited for students in computer science and engineering. Motivation is provided from the application areas: all solutions and techniques from computational geometry are related to particular applications in robotics, graphics, CAD/CAM, and geographic information systems. For students this motivation will be especially welcome. Modern insights in computational geometry are used to provide solutions that are both efficient and easy to understand and implement. All the basic techniques and topics from computational geometry, as well as several more advanced topics, are covered. The book is largely self-contained and can be used for self-study by anyone with a basic background in algorithms. In this third edition, besides revisions to the second edition, new sections discussing Voronoi diagrams of line segments, farthest-point Voronoi diagrams, and realistic input models have been added.

现代几何学：方法与应用（第1卷几何曲面变换群与场第5版），ISBN：9787040189469，作者：（俄）Б.А.杜布洛文、С.П.诺维可夫、А.Т.福明柯

本书系统地论述了微分几何的基本知识。作者用前3章，以及第6章共计4章的篇幅介绍了流形、多重线性函数、向量场、外微分、李群和活动标架等基本知识和工具。基于上述基础知识，论述了微分几何的核心问题，即联络、黎曼几何、以及曲面论。第7章是当前十分活跃的研究领域——复流形。陈省身先生是此研究领域的大家，此章包含有作者独到、深刻的见解和简捷、有效的方法。第8章的Finsler几何是本书第2版新增加的一章，它是陈省身先生近年来一直倡导的研究课题，其中Chern联络具有突出的性质，它使得黎曼几何成为Finsler几何的特殊情形。最后两个附录，介绍了大范围曲线论和曲面论，以及微分几何与理论物理关系的论述，为这两个活跃的前沿领域提出了不少进一步的研究课题。
此书可作为高校数学与理论物理专业高年级本科生和研究生教材，也可供从事物理和数学等相关学科研究人员参考。如果从双语教学角度来考虑，它无疑也是理想的候选者。

《数学物理的几何方法(英文版)》讲述了：This book alms to introduce the beginning or working physicist to awide range of aualytic tools which have their or/gin in differential geometry andwhich have recently found increasing use in theoretical physics. It is not uncom-mon today for a physicist's mathematical education to ignore all but the sim-plest geometrical ideas, despite the fact that young physicists are encouraged todevelop mental 'pictures' and 'intuition' appropriate to physical phenomena.This curious neglect of 'pictures' of one's mathematical tools may be seen as the outcome of a gradual evolution over many centuries. Geometry was certainly extremely important to ancient and medieval natural philosophers; it was ingeometrical terms that Ptolemy, Copernicus, Kepler, and Galileo all expressedtheir thinking. But when Descartes introduced coordinates into Euclideangeometry, he showed that the study of geometry could be regarded as an appli.cation of algrebra. Since then, the/mportance of the study of geometry in theeducation of scientists has steadily

《初等几何的著名问题》是著名数学家F.Klein 1894年在德国哥廷根的一个讲稿，主要讨论了初等几何的三大著名难题——倍立方、三等分角，圆的求积。当年作者用简明易懂的方式讲解这个课题，引起听众极好的反响。后由德国数学家帮助整理出版，1930年又翻译成英文，一直流传至今。.
