Mathematical ideas in fictional scenarios

A collection of fictional short stories uses situations involving AI ethics, logic, game theory, paradoxes, bias, fake-data detection and graph theory to explore mathematical ideas. The topics range across applied mathematics and questions about how information is interpreted, making the book a varied introduction to concepts that can be counterintuitive as well as practical. Its story-based format gives each subject room to appear through different characters and circumstances, rather than presenting the material as a single continuous account.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults interested in applied mathematics explained through fiction
  • Readers curious about logic, game theory, AI ethics and related topics
  • Those who enjoy collections spanning several connected subjects
