Murder on the Einstein Express and Other Stories

79 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This collection of stories touches upon many genres:
Normed Trek
 is a clever and witty Alice-in-Wonderland-type narrative set in the realm of mathematical analysis,
The Cantor Trilogy
 is a dystopia about the consequences of relying upon computer-based mathematical proofs, 
In Search of Future Time
bears the flavor of Tales from Arabian Nights set in the future, and – last but not least -
Murder on the Einstein Express
is a short, non-technical primer on probabilities and modern classical physics, disguised as a detective story.

Written primarily for an audience with some background or a strong interest in mathematics, physics and computer science (in particular artificial intelligence), these stories explore the boundaries between science and fiction in a refreshingly unconventional fashion. In the Afterthoughts the author provides some further insights and annotations.
