  • The Shape of a Life

    One Mathematician's Search for the Universe's Hidden Geometry

    by Shing-Tung Yau, Steve Nadis ...
    A Fields medalist recounts his lifelong effort to uncover the geometric shape—the Calabi-Yau manifold—that may store the hidden dimensions of our universe.Harvard geometer Shing-Tung Yau has provided a mathematical foundation for string theory, offered new insights into black holes, and mathematically demonstrated the stability of our universe. In this autobiography, Yau reflects on his improbable ... Read more

  • The Gravity of Math

    How Geometry Rules the Universe

    by Steve Nadis, Shing-Tung Yau ...
    **"A must-read.”―Avi Loeb, New York Times–bestselling author of ExtraterrestrialOne of the preeminent mathematicians of the past half century shows how physics and math were combined to give us the theory of gravity and the dizzying array of ideas and insights that has come from it**Mathematics is far more than just the language of science. It is a critical underpinning of nature. The famed ... Read more

  • The Shape of Inner Space

    String Theory and the Geometry of the Universe's Hidden Dimensions

    by Shing-Tung Yau, Steve Nadis ...
    String theory says we live in a ten-dimensional universe, but that only four are accessible to our everyday senses. According to theorists, the missing six are curled up in bizarre structures known as Calabi-Yau manifolds. In The Shape of Inner Space, Shing-Tung Yau, the man who mathematically proved that these manifolds exist, argues that not only is geometry fundamental to string theory, it is ... Read more

  • A History in Sum

    150 Years of Mathematics at Harvard (1825–1975)

    by Steve Nadis, Shing-Tung Yau ...
    In the twentieth century, American mathematicians began to make critical advances in a field previously dominated by Europeans. Harvard’s mathematics department was at the center of these developments. A History in Sum is an inviting account of the pioneers who trailblazed a distinctly American tradition of mathematics—in algebraic geometry and topology, complex analysis, number theory, and a host ...
