A math graduate student working in K-theory meets a young philosophy professor who challenges her atheistic beliefs with Blaise Pascal's famous "wager". Mathematics takes a back seat to theology in this Christian novel. However, the reader gets to hear the protagonist's explanation of why she enjoys studying math, and shares her frustration when the result she is working on is "scooped" just before she completes her thesis. Thanks to Hauke Reddmann for bringing this work to my attention. |

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.
