Ask HN: Books that blend math and fiction
2 by sonabinu | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Just finished 'The Housekeeper and the Professor'by Yoko Ogawa. A really nice blend of fiction and mathematics, especially Number Theory. Loved it for it's ease of read, sensitive writing and the math. My favorite line in the book, a thought stream on whether to have a formula explained or discovered by oneself '... but I felt that I would have a much deeper understanding if I struggled it alone for a while'. I am looking to read more books like this one. Any recommendations?
