| As a young woman in Iran, Darya dreamed of being a math professor and proving a theorem, but instead she is an immigrant in New York with a family and a job at a bank. She gets to know an American man who attracts her in a way her husband does not. And, she starts a weekly "math camp" at which she gets together with a small group of friends to work on algebra and calculus. The the plot of this novel follows those story lines (and also her relationship with her daughter), but mostly this is a book about being happy with the things in life that are perhaps not exactly what you would have chosen. |

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!
