| Lady Sarah Pleinsworth and a mathematician who was crippled in a duel are forced to spend time together. Since they despise each other at the outset, we know from the typical plot arc of the romance novel that they are destined to make love and fall in love. Those who enjoy seeing this familiar storyline played out will not be disappointed.
Of course, romance shows up as a feature in most works of fiction, and so I am not at all surprised to see stories about romantic relationships in this database. However, the romance genre is something rather specific, sexually explicit stories in which all other plot and scenery is subservient to the courtship. When I first added a real "romance novel" to this database of mathematical fiction, I thought it was a rare anomaly. After all, it seemed to me, the demographics of these two types of fiction must have very little overlap! However, I must be wrong because I keep finding more and more examples. |

Where are the new works of mathematical fiction?: As you can see from this chronological listing, this database includes many works of mathematical fiction for each year from 1990 to 2025. Strangely, only two are listed for 2026, so far. Either less mathematical fiction is being published than in previous years or I'm just having more trouble finding it. If you know of any works of fiction that should be added to this list, especially recently published ones, please let me know. (Keep in mind that I do not include self-published works or children's fiction that just covers elementary mathematical concepts.) Thanks!
