• Wilczek, F "Asymptotic Freedom: From Paradox to Paradigm"，2004 年諾貝爾獎獲獎演講稿， 見諾貝爾網站網頁。網站中也有演講錄影。http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/2004/wilczek-lecture.pdf
• "Unreasonable ineffectiveness of mathematics" 維基百科條目。儘管寫得不理想，但大致可看到一些參考資料與想法，其中也引了知名數學家葛爾方德（I. Gelfand）的名言：「只有一件事比數學在物理中不合理的有效性更不合理，那就是數學在生物學中不合理的無效性。」 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unreasonable_ineffectiveness_of_mathematics
• Kasman, A，"Unreasonable Effectiveness" from Reality Conditions: Short Mathematical Fiction, MAA (2005). 這是一篇短篇數學小說，給了一個數學有效性的搞笑理由。http://kasmana.people.cofc.edu/MATHFICT/unreasonable.pdf
