(English) Kim Min-Hyong is a world-famous mathematician who vigorously unfolds the wide world of mathematics that extends into the universe all at once. Kim gained fame in the world mathematics scene by solving a nearly 400-year-old problem generated from Fermat’s Last Theorem.
Kim was the first early graduate at Seoul National University, the first Korean professor of mathematics at Oxford, and a chair professor for the popularization of mathematics at the University of Warwick.
Currently, he works as head of the International Center for Mathematical Sciences in Edinburgh, UK, is a chair professor of mathematical sciences at Edinburgh University, and a master professor at Korea Institute for Advanced Study. He has published When Mathematics Is Needed and its sequel When Mathematics Is Needed Again.
Come to the Math Story Club includes seven of his lectures made especially for teens. The author hopes that Korean teenagers, who are among the most eager to study mathematics in the world, can enjoy studying math and further develop their love of math.
(Chinese) 他是一位坐在座位上可以延伸到宇宙、展示广袤数学世界的世界级数学家。他在“费马大定理”问题上解决了源于数论代数和几何学的400年难题,以此在全球数学领域广为人知。
作为首位从首尔大学提前毕业的学生,也是首位成为牛津大学数学系教授的韩国人,曾在华威大学担任过世界最早的“数学大众化客座教授”。目前担任英国爱丁堡国际数理科学研究所所长,爱丁堡大学数理科学学术教授,韩国高等科学院学术教授。他出版的图书有15万读者喜爱的畅销书《需要数学的时刻》和后续作品《再次需要数学的时刻》等。
《欢迎来到故事数学俱乐部》记录了金珉亨教授和青少年学生们进行的七次课堂中分享的真实故事。他希望全世界数学学习热情最高的韩国青少年能够更加享受数学学习的过程,从而爱上数学。
