This Romanian coming-of-age movie from the Ceausescu era follows a group of high school students. Math class with a strict instructor nicknamed "Isocel" (i.e. "isosceles") is just one of the many adolescent rites of passage they must endure. Students answering math problems at the board occur in key scenes at the beginning and ending of the film. And, as a helpful site visitor points out:
Thanks to Raul for bringing this work of mathematical fiction to my attention. As I write this, one can watch the film for free on YouTube. |

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!
