Mathematical fiction is a genre of literature that incorporates mathematical concepts, theories, or problems into its narrative. This type of fiction often explores the relationship between mathematics and human experience, using mathematical ideas as metaphors or plot devices. Authors may create characters who are mathematicians or use mathematical puzzles to drive the story forward. Works of mathematical fiction can range from novels to short stories and often appeal to both math enthusiasts and general readers. Notable examples include Flatland by Edwin A. Abbott and The Man Who Knew Infinity, which tells the story of the mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan.
