DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF SYMMETRIC SHEAVES? - COLIN...

Why is the Devil thrilled when Hell gets its first mathematician? How do 6 and 27 solve the
diabolical murder of 9? What are the advantages a vampire has in the math world? What happens
when we run out of new math to discover? How does Dr. Frankenstein create the ideal
mathematical creature? What transpires when a grad student digging for theorems strikes a rich
vein on the ridge overlooking Deadwood? What happens when math students band together to foment
rebellion? What will a mathematician do beyond the grave to finish that elusive proof? This is
just a small subset of the questions plumbed in this collection of 45 mathematically bent
stories from the fertile imagination of Colin Adams. Originally appearing in The Mathematical
Intelligencer  an expository mathematics magazine  these tales give a decidedly unconventional
look at the world of mathematics and mathematicians. A section of notes is provided at the end
of the book that explain references that may not be familiar to all and that include additional
commentary by the author.
