History of science professor Tahir Baturay has been trying for years to unravel the secrets of the Egyptian pyramids. However, despite all his attempts, he could not make any significant progress. On his last trip, he is accompanied by Cenk Demirbilek, who solves codes by smelling the numbers.

As you travel with them, you will learn about ancient Egyptian history and step into a world of mathematics that you have never heard of.

A mysterious journey awaits you on the trail of numbers.

- The book was prepared to break the prejudices of young readers who stay away because they do not like mathematics, and its story is structured accordingly.

Beyond that, I don't really know anything about it as I do not read Turkish, the only language in which it has been published.

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!
