Murder on the Einstein Express and Other Stories [Paperback]

This collection of stories touches upon many genres: Normed Trek is a clever and witty Alice-in-Wonderland-type narrative set in the realm of mathematical analysis, The Cantor Trilogy is a dystopia about the consequences of relying upon computer-based mathematical proofs, In Search of Future Time bears the flavor of Tales from Arabian Nights set in the future, and  last but not least - Murder on the Einstein Express is a short, non-technical primer on probabilities and modern classical physics, disguised as a detective story.

Written primarily for an audience with some background or a strong interest in mathematics, physics and computer science (in particular artificial intelligence), these stories explore the boundaries between science and fiction in a refreshingly unconventional fashion. In the Afterthoughts the author provides some further insights and annotations.

Well, this was different: A book written in mathematics. lt was divided into four stories, each of which with math (mainly higher math) as its main concept. & if the reader is a mathophile, and enjoys taking reading up a notch, this short romp through the mathematical should be a surprisingly fun read.
