内容概要

It is often really difficult to trace the origin of a familiar inequality.  It is quite likely to occur first as an auxiliary proposition, often without explicit statement, in a memoir on geometry or astronomy; it may have been rediscovered, many years later, by half a dozen different authors; and no accessible statement of it may be quite complete. We have almost always found, even with the most famous inequalities, that we have a little new to add.    We have done our best to be accurate and have given all references we can, but we have never undertaken systematic bibliographical research. We follow the common practice, when a particular inequality is habitually associated with a particular mathematician's name; we speak of the inequalities of Schwarz, HSlder, and Jensen, though all these inequalities can be traced further back; and we do not enumerate explicitly all the minor additions which are necessary for absolute completeness.   We have received a great deal of assistance from friends. Messrs G. A. Bliss, L. S. Bosanquet, R. Courant, B. Jessen, V. Levin, R. Rado, I. Schur, L. C. Young, and A. Zygmund have all helped us with criticisms or original contributions. Dr Bosanquet, Dr Jessen, and Prof. Zygmund have read tho proofs, and corrected many inaccuracies. In particular, Chapter III has been very largely rewritten as the result of Dr Jessen's suggestions. We hope that the book may now be reasonably free from error, in spite of the mass of detail which it contains.

•   刚买了中文版，再买个英文的照着读
•   G.H.Hardy的经典著作，值得一读！
•   书很好，送货及时，感谢你们的服务!
•   非常好，论证很清晰，文艺范的语言
•   分析方面的不等式没有多少内容，而且其不等式过于经典了，如果想通过看此书而有所突破，可能比较难，还是值得一看。
•   书的内容很经典，但是书中所用的数学符号并不是我们现在熟悉的数学符号；
  
  而且书的排版比较旧，不太适合现在的读者；
  
  可能中文版的符号和排版会有改善；
  
•   没有细节的证明
