On: Mystery math whiz and novelist advance permutation problem

[adamgordonbell]

Anyone read Luminous by this author?

It's an action packed short story about math truths. Super good.

    > A truly wonderful story in which two math grad students discover that the things we consider to be "truths" in number theory are actually part of a dynamical system, subject to change over time and in competition with alternative "truths" that are equally valid at other "locations" in the number system.

Surely Permutation City by Egan is more relevant :-D

I mean the title of Permutation City is more relevant. :)

But the one I linked to is an action / adventure story about discovering new something in math. So content wise, it's more relevant. And I just liked it and want people to read it.
