Knihy ktore nas nebudu zaujimat:

• Populárne knihy o matematike
  • ŠEVRIN, Lev Naumovič a ŽITOMIRSKIJ, Vladimír Gabrilevič a BÉZA, Jaroslav-ilustrátor: Geometria pre deti. Bratislava: SNP, 1976.
  • Kjartan Poskitt: Vražedná matematika, Ešte vražednejšia matika, Fantóm X (Tajomný duch algebry), Zákerné kruhy a iné divoké tvary, Podlé a sebecké zlomky

• Knihy - zbierky príkladov, len zaobalené do príbehov:
  • Lewis Caroll: Zamotaný príbeh (A Tangled Tale, 1880), Dokořán, 2009.
  • Hejný Milan, Niepel Ľudovít: Šestnásť matematických príbehov. Mladé letá, 1983.
  • Raymond Merrill Smullyan: Jak se jmenuje tahle knížka? (What is the Name of this Book? 1981), Mladá fronta, 1986.

• Knihy, kde hlavný hrdina je matematik alebo nieco podobne
  • A Girl Named Digit by Annabel Monaghan (A young adult novel about a female high school student named Farrah who has been trying to ditch her maths-geek image. However, her talent for mathematics leads her down a path that includes terrorism and being kidnapped by the FBI for protection)
  • The Housekeeper and the Professor by Yoko Ogawa (First published in Japanese, The Housekeeper and the Professor follows the story of a mathematician who suffers brain damage after an accident and loses his ability to form memories. He does, however, retain his passionate love for mathematics and equations. The plot is based around his relationship with his housekeeper and with her son, to whom he teaches his love of maths).
  • graphic novel called Logicomix, by Apostolos Doxiadis and Christos Papadimitriou, which is about Bertrand Russell and the search for the foundations of mathematics.
  • The Foundation Series yet, by Isaac Asimov. The fictional mathematician Hari Seldon even invents the fictional mathematical discipline of psychohistory.
  • Cryptonomicon is a book by Neal Stephenson. One of the main characters in the WWII timeline is Lawrence Waterhouse, a mathematician and cryptologist.
  • Proof" is a play, but it is based upon a women finishing a proof that her father was unsuccessfully working on as he slips into mental decline. In fact, the play has done quite well, and they even made a movie version with Gwenneth Paltrow, Anthony Hopkins and Jake Gyllenhall.
  • Let's not also forget that Moriarty, the "main" villain from seceral Sherlock Holmes novels, is also a mathematician.
  • Greg Egan is a science-fiction writer that holds a B.S. in Mathematics (and has co-authored a paper with John Baez). He often manages to insert some advanced maths, physics and computer science content in his novels: for instance, listing only mathematics, fiber bundles in Diaspora, Einstein's equation for general relativity in Incandescence, Cantor sets and commutative hypercubes in the short stories The Infinite Assassin and Glory. His story Dark Integers deserves special mention; it is a sequel to Luminous, best read in order.
  • Brazilian writer Júlio César de Mello e Souza, published under the pen name Malba Tahan: The Man Who Counted, an amazing fiction book about a fictitious mathematician called Beremiz Samir and a traveler called Malba Tahan.
  • Isaac Asimov short story "The Feeling of Power", from 1958
  • Rebecca Goldstein's The Mind-Body Problem is set in the Princeton math department, with some of the characters pretty clearly based on their real-world counterparts.
  • Jorge Luis Borges - the notion of infinity is a common topic of his stories: the most well known example is "The library of Babel"

• Movies
  • Good Will Hunting
  • The movie "A Beautiful Mind" is a (beautiful for me) example, where the story of mathematician was mixed with love and spy stories
  • The Man Without Qualities (Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften) by Robert Musil.
  • Uncle Petros and Goldbach's conjecture is a story about a fictitious mathematician who became obsessed with solving the Goldbach's conjecture.

• Knihy, kde by sme matematiku neočakávali a citatela prepadne uplne znenazdajky, zjaví sa tam len tak mimochodom - to je to co nas zaujima

   "And he [Hiram] made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one rim to the other it was round all about, and...a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about....And it was an hand breadth thick...." — First Kings, chapter 7, verses 23 and 26

There is a similar description in Second Chronicles 4, verses 2 through 5.
