With a straight face, Rudy Rucker asked me for details about the book, such as my favorite story in the collection….After his employees broke the machine and escaped, the mad mathematician repaired his device and soon, new volunteer researchers came.  He resumed his mad mathematician career.  It was a very strange story.

Ja and that was also part of the joke.  That one story didn’t have anything directly math related in it exactly, or no math details.  That one story didn’t feel like it fit with the rest of the Mathenauts collection, and I wondered why it was in there.  

 

Adrian that observation is a great introduction to part 2, which I will post when I return.
