Book summaryUncle Petros, a mathematical genius who is quite possibly insane, has lost his teaching job because of his loony obsession with proving a theoretical mathematical theorem known as Goldbach's Conjecture. Nominally a monstrous failure, Uncle Petros has inspired his nephew--the narrator--not only to become a mathematician and carry on the attempt himself, but to find the courage to lead his life in an unconventional way. Media reviews"Delightful fun, well-conceived and nicely executed." |
