我们的数学宇宙?
Our Mathematical Universe?
摘要:
这是对马克斯·泰格马克(Max Tegmark)的新书《我们的数学宇宙》(Our Mathematical Universe)中的一些主题的讨论。这是作为一个评论加杂志,在线杂志的英国国家数学教育和推广项目,数学千年项目。由于一些讨论(关于对称性破缺和数学哲学中的毕达哥拉斯主义)超出了对泰格马克书的评论,这些材料被分成三篇在线文章。这个版本结合了这三篇文章,并增加了一些其他材料,特别是对财产问题的批判主义的简短辩护。它还增加了一些参考资料,其他加文章以及学术文章。但它保留了Plus的非正式风格。
英文摘要:
This is a discussion of some themes in Max Tegmark's recent book, Our Mathematical Universe. It was written as a review for Plus Magazine, the online magazine of the UK's national mathematics education and outreach project, the Mathematics Millennium Project. Since some of the discussion (about symmetry breaking, and Pythagoreanism in the philosophy of mathematics) went beyond reviewing Tegmark's book, the material was divided into three online articles. This version combines those three articles, and adds some other material, in particular a brief defence of quidditism about properties. It also adds some references, to other Plus articles as well as academic articles. But it retains the informal style of Plus.
