| This novel follows a woman's soul through four reincarnations, beginning in Africa in the 15th century and ending in Europe during World War II. All four are named "Ada", and one of them happens to be the historical mathematician Ada Lovelace. In this fictional telling of her story, Ada has an affair with Charles Dickens. The book also suggests (unfairly, IMHO) that mathematicians like Hamilton and De Morgan refused to acknowledge "Ada's brilliance on even a single point" despite the fact that their work was mediocre compared with hers. |

Exciting News: The 1,600th entry was recently added to this database of mathematical fiction! Also, for those of you interested in non-fictional math books
let me (shamelessly) plug the recent release of the second edition of my soliton theory textbook.
