1
00:00:00,789 --> 00:00:04,600
“自然的律法只是上帝的数学思想。”

2
00:00:04,862 --> 00:00:07,523
这是欧几里得的一句话。

3
00:00:07,523 --> 00:00:12,655
欧几里得是一个生于约公元前300唸的一个希腊数学家和哲学家。

4
00:00:12,655 --> 00:00:19,691
我之所以引用这句话，是因为欧几里得被认为是几何学之父。

5
00:00:19,691 --> 00:00:22,663
这句名言简洁明了，无论你怎样看待上帝，

6
00:00:22,663 --> 00:00:25,054
不管上帝是否存在，或者上帝的本质是什么，

7
00:00:25,054 --> 00:00:27,516
它都揭露了关于自然的最重要的一些东西。

8
00:00:27,516 --> 00:00:31,649
自然的规律仅仅是上帝的数学思想，

9
00:00:31,649 --> 00:00:35,016
而数学是所有自然法则的支柱。

10
00:00:35,016 --> 00:00:37,802
”几何学“这个单词本身来自于希腊词根，

11
00:00:37,802 --> 00:00:40,983
”Geo“来自于希腊语的”地球“，

12
00:00:40,983 --> 00:00:44,211
”Metry“来自于希腊语的”测量“。

13
00:00:44,211 --> 00:00:47,183
你可能曾经用过某些“测量”系统。

14
00:00:47,183 --> 00:00:50,132
欧几里得被认为是几何学之父。

15
00:00:50,132 --> 00:00:52,802
（不是因为他是第一个研究几何学的人）

16
00:00:52,802 --> 00:00:56,285
你可以想象最初研究几何学的人们，

17
00:00:56,562 --> 00:01:00,024
他们可能盯着地上的两根树枝看着，

18
00:01:00,024 --> 00:01:02,462
他们可能盯着另外一对树枝一样的东西看着，

19
00:01:02,462 --> 00:01:05,178
然后说，这个开口更大。它们的关系是什么？

20
00:01:05,178 --> 00:01:13,654
或者他们可能看着一棵树枝像这样的树。

21
00:01:13,654 --> 00:01:18,274
然后他们会说，“嗯，这个开口和这个开口有点像。”

22
00:01:18,274 --> 00:01:19,737
或者他们可能问问自己，

23
00:01:19,737 --> 00:01:26,123
这个比例是多少，或者圆的周长和直径有什么关系

24
00:01:26,123 --> 00:01:28,352
这种关系对于所有圆来讲都成立吗

25
00:01:28,352 --> 00:01:31,812
怎样能让它绝对成立呢？

26
00:01:31,812 --> 00:01:34,412
一旦你理解了早期希腊人，

27
00:01:34,412 --> 00:01:39,010
他们开始思考更多几何问题。

28
00:01:39,010 --> 00:01:43,259
当谈到古希腊数学家，比如毕达哥拉斯

29
00:01:43,259 --> 00:01:45,535
（他是早于欧几里得的一位数学家）

30
00:01:45,535 --> 00:01:54,511
但是人们之所以认为认为欧几里得是几何学之父（我们常常谈到欧式几何）

31
00:01:54,511 --> 00:01:59,832


32
00:01:59,832 --> 00:02:05,793


33
00:02:05,793 --> 00:02:08,383


34
00:02:08,383 --> 00:02:14,397
但是让欧几里得成为几何学之父的，是他的代表作《几何原本》。

35
00:02:14,397 --> 00:02:21,263


36
00:02:21,263 --> 00:02:24,773


37
00:02:24,773 --> 00:02:31,441


38
00:02:31,441 --> 00:02:37,524


39
00:02:37,524 --> 00:02:40,682


40
00:02:40,682 --> 00:02:44,955


41
00:02:44,955 --> 00:02:47,532


42
00:02:47,532 --> 00:02:51,851


43
00:02:51,851 --> 00:02:55,334


44
00:02:55,334 --> 00:03:02,393


45
00:03:02,393 --> 00:03:05,806


46
00:03:05,806 --> 00:03:14,374


47
00:03:14,374 --> 00:03:18,182


48
00:03:18,182 --> 00:03:24,475


49
00:03:24,475 --> 00:03:29,723


50
00:03:33,215 --> 00:03:37,721


51
00:03:37,721 --> 00:03:43,747


52
00:03:43,747 --> 00:03:51,549


53
00:03:51,549 --> 00:03:55,729


54
00:03:55,729 --> 00:03:58,492


55
00:03:58,492 --> 00:04:01,255


56
00:04:01,255 --> 00:04:04,042


57
00:04:04,042 --> 00:04:06,155


58
00:04:06,155 --> 00:04:11,402


59
00:04:11,402 --> 00:04:14,096


60
00:04:14,096 --> 00:04:17,068


61
00:04:17,068 --> 00:04:23,477


62
00:04:23,477 --> 00:04:30,095


63
00:04:30,884 --> 00:04:39,692


64
00:04:39,692 --> 00:04:42,022


65
00:04:43,069 --> 00:04:47,881


66
00:04:47,881 --> 00:04:55,427


67
00:04:55,427 --> 00:04:59,862


68
00:04:59,862 --> 00:05:01,581


69
00:05:01,581 --> 00:05:04,344


70
00:05:04,344 --> 00:05:07,943


71
00:05:07,943 --> 00:05:09,940


72
00:05:10,525 --> 00:05:16,606


73
00:05:16,606 --> 00:05:19,416


74
00:05:19,816 --> 00:05:23,779


75
00:05:23,779 --> 00:05:26,612


76
00:05:26,612 --> 00:05:29,747


77
00:05:29,747 --> 00:05:35,900


78
00:05:35,900 --> 00:05:38,872


79
00:05:38,872 --> 00:05:40,777


80
00:05:41,207 --> 00:05:43,795


81
00:05:43,795 --> 00:05:48,415


82
00:05:48,415 --> 00:05:53,454


83
00:05:53,454 --> 00:05:59,375


84
00:05:59,375 --> 00:06:02,580


85
00:06:02,580 --> 00:06:08,454


86
00:06:08,454 --> 00:06:13,307


87
00:06:13,307 --> 00:06:17,998


88
00:06:17,998 --> 00:06:23,060


89
00:06:23,060 --> 00:06:28,005


90
00:06:28,005 --> 00:06:32,649


91
00:06:32,649 --> 00:06:35,668

00:06:35,668 --> 00:06:41,241

00:06:41,241 --> 00:06:45,676

00:06:45,676 --> 00:06:55,150

00:06:55,150 --> 00:07:00,467


96
00:07:00,467 --> 00:07:04,345


97
00:07:04,345 --> 00:07:06,806


98
00:07:06,806 --> 00:07:11,868

00:07:11,868 --> 00:07:17,348


100
00:07:17,348 --> 00:07:24,128


101
00:07:24,128 --> 00:07:30,885

00:07:30,885 --> 00:07:32,954

00:07:49,624 --> 00:07:59,812
