This course explores how literary writers experiment with mathematics to construct narratives and deepen their philosophical and social inquiries. Students will study key examples of mathematical fiction: Edwin A. Abbott's Flatland (1884), Raymond Queneau's "A Story of Your Own" ("Un conte à votre façon", 1967), and Yōko Ogawa's The Housekeeper and the Professor (博士の愛した数式, 2006). Through analysis and discussion, students will examine how these writers use mathematics to construct plots, develop characters, explore themes, and investigate philosophical and sociopolitical questions. For their final project, students will write a short work of fiction that features a mathematical concept or structure as a central element in its plot or character development.
This course will be conducted by a Seoul National University professor, who researches on nineteenth-century European literature and mathematics in literature.
1. Understand the role of mathematics in literature: Explore how writers incorporate mathematical concepts and structures to develop sophisticated narratives.
2. Examine interdisciplinary themes: Connect mathematical ideas with broader literary, philosophical, and sociopolitical questions.
3. Analyze texts: Develop close reading skills and write analytical essays that present evidence-based arguments and precise textual analysis.
4. Experiment creatively: Produce a short work of fiction that integrates mathematical concepts and structures to engage with existing mathematical fiction.
5. Communicate clearly: Express ideas and opinions clearly to students from diverse disciplinary and cultural backgrounds.
6. Collaborate responsibly: Practice active listening and provide thoughtful feedback on peers' ideas and works.
This course develops three key skills from the ACE program's Cubic Curriculum: Critical Thinking, Communication, and Collaboration (for more information on the Cubic Curriculum, see https://clscampusasia.snu.ac.kr/curriculum/).
