So, when I take "A Mathematician's Argument" home, I will stand up and read it. This is a very thin book, but the preface takes up more than 40 pages. I read about 30 pages at a stretch until I had to put the book down temporarily. After watching it several times, I still thought it was wonderful. It is not only wonderful, but also practical. As a mathematician, G.H. Hardy wrote this argument with strong logic and clear thinking. The preface gives a detailed introduction to the mathematician. Compared with some of his knowledge partners such as Russell and Keynes, he himself is a stranger to me.
I'm just a math representative. Although I have been in office for 8 years, the only thing worth mentioning is the simple happiness I got from this math class. I can give myself some math problems when I am in a daze or even dreaming. Although it is simple, it brings me some fun. However, G.H. Hardy is a pure mathematician, and I can only pray that my gratitude for mathematics will help me understand his works.
I have to mention some things, such as the quality of this book and whether it is practical.
The quality of this book should still be guaranteed, but I dare not say that all the names in it have been translated correctly, but most of the names are marked in English, which is more convenient.
As for practicality, I think this book is quite practical. It is no different from that era. Mathematics is still a widely respected and greatly misunderstood subject, and even more problems have appeared. The author only answered the questions at that time, but because these questions have not been fully understood so far, it is very beneficial to look at the answers of predecessors.
