| A silent, short film which shows intertwined clips of a young girl playing the french horn and answering a question at the board in her algebra class. Reviews of the film that I've read suggest that she is realizing connections between math and music, though it is not clear to me whether those connections are the mathematical structure of music (which surely is a deep subject), the aesthetic beauty of mathematics (at least some people find appreciating mathematics similar to appreciating music), or merely the common aspect of "performing" in front of an audience. Either way, the girl is pleased with the experience and leaves her teacher an apple in thanks.

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!
