Wanting to understand the most fundamental questions of the universe isn't the province

of ivory-tower intellectuals alone, as this book's enormous popularity has demonstrated. A

young girl, Sophie, becomes embroiled in a discussion of philosophy with a faceless

correspondent. At the same time, she must unravel a

mystery involving another young girl, Hilde, by using

everything she's learning. The truth is far more complicated

than she could ever have imagined.

MATHEMATICAL MYSTERIES

BY CALVIN C. CLAWSON

Chronicles the travails of two young friends, as they

struggle with their families, their neuroses,

and their inability to fit in with society. As they grow

up, they rely on each other, and their

they find in living.

THE SOLITUDE OF PRIME NUMBERS

BY PAOLO GIORDANO

When Mr. Ruche, a reclusive Parisian

bookseller, receives a letter from a long lost friend in the Amazon be questing

him a vast library of mathematical book, he is

propelled into a great exploration of the story of math, from brilliant Greek

thinkers, such as Archimedes and Pythagoras,

to the modern-day genius Fermat.

THE PARROT'S THEOREMBY DENIS GUEDJ

The year is 1327. Franciscans in a wealthy Italian abbey are

suspected of heresy, and Brother William of Baskerville arrives to investigate. When his

delicate mission is suddenly overshadowed by seven bizarre deaths, Brother William turns

detective. His tools are the logic of Aristotle, the theology

of Aquinas, the empirical insights of Roger Bacon--all

sharpened to a glistening edge by wry humor and a ferocious

curiosity. He collects evidence, deciphers secret symbols and coded manuscripts, and digs into the eerie labyrinth of the

abbey, where "the most interesting things happen at

night."

THE NAME OF THE ROSEBY UMBERTO ECO

While in Paris, Harvard symbol gist Robert Langdon is awakened by a phone call in the dead of the night. The

elderly curator of the Louvre has been murdered inside the museum, his body covered in baffling symbols. As Langdon and gifted French cryptologist Sophie Neveu sort through the

bizarre riddles, they are stunned to discover a trail of clues hidden in the works of

Leonardo Da Vinci—clues visible for all to see and yet ingeniously disguised by the

painter.

THE DA VINCI CODEBY DAN BROWN

It was almost December, and Jonas was beginning to be frightened." Thus opens this

haunting novel in which a boy inhabits a seemingly ideal world: a world without conflict, poverty, unemployment, divorce, injustice, or

inequality. It is a time in which family values are paramount, teenage rebellion is unheard of, and even good manners are a way of life. December

is the time of the annual Ceremony at which each twelve year old receives a life assignment

determined by the Elders. Jonas watches his friend Fiona named Caretaker of the Old and his cheerful pal Asher labeled the Assistant Director

of Recreation. But Jonas has been chosen for something special. When his selection leads him

to an unnamed man -the man called only the Giver -he begins to sense the dark secrets that

underlie the fragile perfection of his world. Told with deceptive simplicity, this is the provocative

story of a boy who experiences something incredible and undertakes something

impossible. In the telling it questions every value we have taken for granted and reexamines

our most deeply held beliefs

Hypatia, daughter of the mathematician and astronomer

Gods, the last director of the Museum of Alexandria, was born

The five Aemer lives of five pages from the tortured history of Mesopotamia, the five phases

of the discovery of the most mysterious figure, the number indicating the total absence: 0. The story begins during a U.S.

bombing in modern Iraq unfolds backwards, at the time the

those folks who have contributed to shaping the

presumed more illusory concept, the concept of ...

nothing.

Athens, 1929. The mathematician Stephen Kantartzis found dead in his

room. A close friend, also a mathematician, Michael Igerinos be

invited to identify the corpse. Standing in front of a dead friend, reminisces

Igerinos the approximately thirty years of their acquaintance; the first meeting,

in a math conference in 1900, the friendship with the avant garde of the

Parisian intelligentsia, their wanderings in Paris of the Belle Epoque , the

Balkan Wars, the divisions, the Asia Minor Catastrophe. He remembers the stormy mathematical arguments, their loves, their war their adventures. The

sound of a rhombus him back here. The question is urgent? Who Killed Stephen

Kantartzis, mainly because he killed? Police adventure with a strong

PYTHAGOREAN CRIMESBY TEUCER MICHAELIDES

Christopher is a strange novel. He knows all the

THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME

BY MARK HADDON

The history of mathematics can't be properly told without mention of Archimedes of Syracuse (c. 287 B.C.-c. 212 B.C.), yet this ancient

Greek very nearly disappeared from history. His known body of

work was contained in three manuscripts, two of which have

vanished. The third survived thanks to a 13th-century monastic

scribe who copied a devotional book onto a previously used

palimpsest. It was not until 1906 that a scholar discovered that an imperfectly erased mathematical text lay beneath. The Archimedes

Codex tells the story of this discovery, the recovery of seven long-lost treatises, and how they

have changed the history of mathematics and science.

the words, "the first of the series."" "Murders begin to pile up - an old man

on life-support is found dead with needle punctures in his throat -

seemingly unconnected except for notes appearing in the math department, for

the attention of Seldom." Seldom guesses that the murders relate to his

book about the parallels between investigations of serial killers and

certain mathematical theorems. As he and the young student are drawn

further into the game, it is up to the mentor and student to solve the puzzle

before the killer strikes again.

The numbers are not boring and mathematics is inaccessible.

Because involved in all human thought and Creation: philosophy, art, literature, music, architecture,

Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Caroll. It tells the story of a girl named Alice who falls
