Although mathematics has long been considered an arcane, inaccessible discipline, it has maintained a surprising presence in popular media for over a century. In this compendium, contributors consider the role of maths in everything from blockbuster films, crossword puzzles, fantasy role-playing games, and TV shows to science fiction tales, award-winning plays, and classic works of literature.
