摘要

A mathematical friend declared: "I don't believe in great theorems, only in great theories." A theorem can be great only if it leads somewhere. I was reminded of this bit of wisdom when I picked up It Must Be Beautiful, because the style and content of this volume speak eloquently and entertainingly to this point. But instead of great theorems we have great equations, the lifeblood of great theories in science. Graham Farmelo has done a magnificent job both of choosing a representative sample of great equations from across the spectrum of science and of assembling a superstar cast of authors to tell us about them. Who could resist reading Roger Penrose describing the story of Albert Einstein's equations of general relativity, or Robert May regaling us with the central role of the logistic equation in the development of the theory of chaos? Then there are John Maynard Smith's account of the game-theory equations underlying modern evolutionary theory, Igor Aleksander's account of Claude Shannon's equations measuring information, and Steven Wein-berg's beautiful concluding essay on the fundamental equations of modern physics.
