Publisher's Synopsis
Although the main objective of this book is to spread mathematics, it is also to tell a good Science Fiction story. Under certain hypotheses, one might think that mathematics is pure fiction, because we will never see, for example, a triangle walking down the street. For others, mathematics is the art of solving problems; I believe that it also includes the art of understanding problems.In the first two chapters we introduce the story of Elfo Mefedriel and how he knows the mathematician Rafael. Afterwards, the following seven chapters intuitively deal with modern mathematical theories such as non-Euclidean geometry, Fractals, Game Theory, Group Theory and Category Theory. This part of dissemination ends with a very brief introduction to the Mathematical Theory of Music. The book concludes with an adventure of the Elf, who in trying to create creatures with fractal characteristics, ends up designing evil beings called Dark Demons, whose purpose is to destroy the Universe.
