Description
"Enter the wildly inventive world of Imaginary Numbers, in which a marvelous roster of acclaimed writers conjure up magical happenings, fantastic visions, and brainteasing puzzles, all based in some way on mathematical ideas. This anthology offers a connoisseur's selection of a special brand of creative writing in which the authors play with a vast array of mathematical notions - from the marvels of infinity to the peculiarities of space-time to quantum weirdness, the relativity of time, and the curious attraction of black holes."--BOOK JACKET
