While on the subject of Math, I've been reading The Housekeeper and the Professor by Ogawa Yoko, a charming tale of an ageing Japanese mathematician with a peculiar problem - his memory lasts for only 80 minutes. What gives him some comfort is his abiding love for numbers. Copious quantities of it. This is a sacred bond that runs far deeper than human memory, and it's a bond he extends to his loyal housekeeper. Intrigued? Read it.
