Originally published under the shorter title Triton, this "hard SF" novel uses mathematical concepts as part of its description of life for human colonists on the moon Triton. One of the main characters is an "applied topologist", references are made to "modular calculus" which (as in other Delany novels) is a form of mathematics for discussing analogies, and a rather messy formula (involving semi-infinite sums, integrals, exponentials and trig functions) is displayed as part of a description of a game that the colonists enjoy playing.

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!
