| Fans of Monty Python will recall the joke so funny that anyone who reads it dies laughing. Frazier brings us the mathematical analogue: a number so big that it kills anyone who tries to think about it. This is the only mathematical story in the funny collection called "Dating your Mom".
(To the person who just voted to give this story a 50,000 in "literary quality": I didn't die laughing...but that was pretty funny. Thanks. I'm afraid I didn't count your vote of 5 for "mathematical content" either. I mean, it is quite obvious that this story has a lot less math in it than something like A Certain Ambiguity. Use realistic values next time and I'll count it.) |

Exciting News: The 1,600th entry was recently added to this database of mathematical fiction! Also, for those of you interested in non-fictional math books
let me (shamelessly) plug the recent release of the second edition of my soliton theory textbook.
