书籍介绍
这不是一本教你学数学的书，而是一场关于"美"的展示。书中挑选了44个数学难题，却刻意绕开繁琐的计算与技巧堆砌，只把最优雅、最出人意料的证明端到你面前。读者最深的震撼，往往来自那种"跨领域跳跃"——数论、图论、几何、拓扑看似毫不相干，却被同一个精巧构造悄悄打通，于是有了"为什么我早没想到"的怅然。它适合这样的你：不必精通全部前置知识，只要对"美妙的思路"心怀好奇。当然，它也有争议：部分读者因门槛而失望，有人只读得懂"一小部分"。但正因如此，它更像一扇窗——让你看见数学家眼中"天书"的模样：一个引理若能广泛适用、一眼即明、且足够美，便足以被称为杰作。

精彩摘录
- "一般地，称H为线图若对某个图G有H=L(G)。当然，并非每个图都是线图。一个例子是我们先前考虑过的K2,4，对这个图我们有X(K2,4)<Xl(K2,4)。但如果H是线图有怎样的？通过修改我们定理的证明易见当H是二部图的线图时X(H)=Xl(H)成立。同样的方法也有可能走得更远来验证这个领域里最后的猜想， 对所有的线图H都有X(H)=Xl(H)成立吗？ 关于这个猜想已知的极少，看起来很困难——但是毕竟Dinitz问题在二十年前也是如此。"
- "It has been commented upon that the “Fundamental theorem of algebra” is not really fundamental, that it is not necessarily a theorem since sometimes it serves as a definition, and that in its classical form it is not a result from algebra, but rather from analysis."
- "The essence of mathematics is proving theorems and so, that is what mathematicians do: they prove theorems. But to tell the truth, what they really want to prove, once in their lifetime, is a Lemma, like the one by Fatou in analysis, the Lemma of Gauss in number theory, or the Burnside-Frobenius Lem"
- "For this end we verify the recursion F0 * F1 * … Fn-1 = Fn - 2 ( n >= 1), from which our assertion follows immediately. Indeed, if m is a divisor of, say, Fk and Fn (k<n), then m divides 2, and hence m = 1 or 2."
