商品描述

This collection of stories touches upon many genres: Normed Trek is a clever and witty Alice-in-Wonderland-type narrative set in the realm of mathematical analysis, The Cantor Trilogy is a dystopia about the consequences of relying upon computer-based mathematical proofs, In Search of Future Time bears the flavor of Tales from Arabian Nights set in the future, and – last but not least - Murder on the Einstein Express is a short, non-technical primer on probabilities and modern classical physics, disguised as a detective story.

Written primarily for an audience with some background or a strong interest in mathematics, physics and computer science (in particular artificial intelligence), these stories explore the boundaries between science and fiction in a refreshingly unconventional fashion. In the Afterthoughts the author provides some further insights and annotations.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本故事集涵蓋了許多類型:Normed Trek 是一個巧妙且機智的愛麗絲夢遊仙境式敘事,背景設置在數學分析的領域;The Cantor Trilogy 是一部反烏托邦小說,探討依賴基於電腦的數學證明所帶來的後果;In Search of Future Time 則帶有《一千零一夜》的風味,背景設定在未來;最後但同樣重要的是,Murder on the Einstein Express 是一本關於機率和現代古典物理的短篇非技術性入門書,偽裝成偵探故事。

這些故事主要是為具有一定數學、物理和計算機科學(特別是人工智慧)背景或強烈興趣的讀者所寫,探索科學與虛構之間的界限,以一種耳目一新的非傳統方式呈現。在後記中,作者提供了一些進一步的見解和註解。
