商品描述
Measuring space is crucial to our process of knowledge. Archimedes is a pioneer of geometry, in its most literal sense as the "measurement of the earth." He was the first to measure curved bodies in space and to calculate the surface area and the volume of the sphere. His method was brilliant, and it influenced all the great protagonists of modern science. From Galileo, who would revisit his proofs with a new sensitivity; to Gauss, who extended his calculations with astonishing consequences; to Einstein, who discovered one of the most famous equations in the history of Science, the Field Equation. An expression that can be thought of as the contemporary version of Archimedes' formula. The book is addressed to anyone interested in exploring reality with the help of a measure.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
測量空間對於我們的知識過程至關重要。阿基米德是幾何學的先驅，從字面上來說就是「地球的測量」。他是第一個測量空間中曲面物體並計算球體的表面積和體積的人。他的方法非常出色，並影響了所有現代科學的偉大人物。從伽利略，他以新的敏感度重新檢視阿基米德的證明；到高斯，他以驚人的結果擴展了這些計算；再到愛因斯坦，他發現了科學史上最著名的方程之一，場方程。這個表達可以被視為阿基米德公式的當代版本。本書適合任何有興趣透過測量探索現實的人。

Professor of Geometry at the University of Trento, he is a scholar in the field of Projective Algebraic Geometry. Currently Director of the International Center for Mathematical Research (CIRM) in Trento. He has been a visiting professor at many international research centers, including the Max Planck Institute (Bonn, DE), the Newton Institute for Math. (Cambridge, UK), and the Math.Sc. Research Institute (Berkley, US). He is the President of the Italian Mathematical Society (UMI). Since several years, he is working in the field of scientific popularization, writing historical and popular books (among these, the present one, "Archimedes, the Art of Measurement" and "The Shape of Everything, the Alphabet of Geometry" - Springer ). He was President of MUSE, the science museum designed by Renzo Piano, during its creation and for eight years. He is member of the Academy of Science in Torino, of Agiati in Rovereto and of Pericolanti in Messina.
