商品描述

This work is closely tied to the renowned mathematics textbook series known as UNITEXT, tailored for university students pursuing bachelor's or master's degrees. What sets this particular book apart in the Springer collection is its unique origin: it has been crafted through a meticulous process involving interviews handled with and by world-class mathematicians.

The content featured in this book revolve around a highly relevant and engaging topic: Optimal Transport. These conversations involve not only authors from the UNITEXT series, but also members of the series' Editorial Board. Additionally, they feature prominent figures in the field, including a Field Medalist. This work provides readers with a snapshot of remarkable vitality and freshness, guaranteed to captivate and engage anyone with an interest in mathematics.

It's important to note that these interviews were initially shared as podcasts and originally broadcasted as online events on the Cassyni platform. Subsequently, advanced AI tools were employed under human supervision to transcribe the audios and edit them for better readability. A human copy-editor was involved during the whole process, and the authors revised the final copy-edited texts before publication. The content in each format - the interviews, the PODCASTS and the book - is self-contained and not a mere adaptation from one medium to another. Instead, it represents an independent exploration of the subject matter.


商品描述(中文翻譯)

這項工作與著名的數學教科書系列UNITEXT密切相關,該系列專為攻讀學士或碩士學位的大學生量身定制。這本書在Springer系列中的獨特之處在於其獨特的來源:它是通過與世界一流數學家進行的訪談精心製作而成。

這本書的內容圍繞著一個高度相關且引人入勝的主題:最優運輸。這些對話不僅涉及UNITEXT系列的作者,還包括系列的編輯委員會成員。此外,它們還涵蓋了該領域的知名人物,包括一位菲爾茲獎得主。這項工作為讀者提供了一個充滿活力和新鮮感的快照,保證能夠吸引和引起對數學感興趣的任何人的興趣。

值得注意的是,這些訪談最初是以播客的形式分享的,並在Cassyni平台上作為線上活動進行了廣播。隨後,在人類監督下使用先進的人工智能工具對音頻進行了轉錄並進行了編輯以提高可讀性。在整個過程中都有人類副本編輯參與,作者在出版之前對最終的副本編輯文本進行了修訂。每種格式的內容 - 訪談、播客和書籍 - 都是獨立的,並不僅僅是從一種媒介適應到另一種媒介。相反,它代表了對主題的獨立探索。

作者簡介

Luigi Ambrosio is a Professor of Mathematical Analysis, a former student of the Scuola Normale Superiore and presently its Director. His research interests include calculus of variations, geometric measure theory, optimal transport and analysis in metric spaces. For his scientific achievements, he has been awarded several prizes, in particular the Fermat prize in 2003 and the Balzan Prize in 2019.

Alfio Quarteroni is Professor of Numerical Analysis and Director of MOX at the Politecnico of Milan (Italy). Formerly he was Director of the Chair of Modelling and Scientific Computing at the EPFL (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology), Lausanne (Switzerland), from 1998 until the end of 2017. He is the founder (and first director) of MOX at Politecnico of Milan (2002) and MATHICSE at EPFL, Lausanne (2010). He is co-founder (and President) of MOXOFF, a spin-off company at Politecnico of Milan (2010). He has been an invited or plenary speaker in more than 300 International Conferences and Academic Departments. For his scientific achievements, he has been awarded several prizes; the last one is CIAM Lagrange Prize 2023.
