ONCE UPON A PRIME (PB)

We often think of mathematics and literature as opposites but in this insightful book, Professor Sarah Hart shows us the myriad connections between maths and literature, and how understanding those connections can enhance our enjoyment of both. Did you know that Moby-Dick is full of sophisticated geometry? That James Joyce’s novels are deliberately chequered with mathematical references? This book takes us on an unforgettable journey through the books we thought we knew, showing that maths and literature are complementary parts of the same quest to understand human life and our place in the universe.
