Holmes and Watson, I guess.

Yes, I did :-) It was a great book. I cannot recall any similar book now (except for Crichton's books), but I can recommend you "Uncle Petros and Goldbach's conjecture", it's a charming book.

I have just ordered it from Amazon, along with Cedric Villani's "Birth of a Theorem" which I have had my eye on for a while. One of my favourite kids books is Norton Juster's "The Phantom Tollbooth" - that along with some wonderful plays on words - send its hero to Digitopolos - the kingdom of maths. He meets an 0.58 of a child who comes from an "average" family of 2.58 children, and drives around in a 0.3 of a car (because families on average have 1.3 cars). I don't think it will translate at all well, so you need to get an English copy. Norton Juster also wrote "The Dot and the Line" - a mathematical love story with the best mathematical pun ever.

Hi Rosemary :-)
Well, I studied mathematical anlysis and linear algebra, and now I teach courses on calculus, elementary linear algebra and elementary statistics. My research papers deal mainly with a decision theory (often under uncertainty) or some econometrics. I do not use maths in my stories, except for some funny details :-)
