| Kyria despises math and hates the fact that she is required to learn vector calculus at Salem University where she is studying magic. So, she determines to go back in time to learn how the ancient wizards cast spells without it.
This one-page story (not to be confused with the novel of the same name published six years later) appeared in a special issue of Marion Zimmer Bradley's Fantasy Magazine (Issue #09, Summer 1990) which was devoted to "short short stories". Thanks to Fred Galvin for sending me this link that allowed me to read it for free in 2021. |

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!
