Once upon a Prime

In this book, Sarah Hart delves into the myriad connections between mathematics and literature.

She demonstrates how mathematical concepts and structures can provide additional layers of depth and meaning to literary works.

The book is organized into three sections: the role of mathematics in shaping literary forms, the use of mathematical metaphors and symbolism, and the explicit mathematical themes in various novels.

Hart draws examples from a wide range of literature, including works by authors such as Melville, Joyce, and Tolstoy, and discusses topics like geometry, fractals, and cryptography in the context of literature.
