Prime Suspects

The Anatomy of Integers and Permutations

About this book

An outrageous graphic novel that investigates key concepts in mathematics

Integers and permutations—two of the most basic mathematical objects—are born of different fields and analyzed with separate techniques. Yet when the Mathematical Sciences Investigation team of crack forensic mathematicians, led by Professor Gauss, begins its autopsies of the victims of two seemingly unrelated homicides, Arnie Integer and Daisy Permutation, they discover the most extraordinary similarities between the structures of each body.

Prime Suspects is a graphic novel that takes you on a voyage of forensic discovery, exploring some of the most fundamental ideas in mathematics. Travel with Detective von Neumann as he leaves no clue unturned, from shepherds' huts in the Pyrenees to secret societies in the cafés of Paris, from the hidden codes in the music of the stones to the grisly discoveries in Finite Fields. Tremble at the ferocity of the believers in deep and rigid abstraction. Feel the frustration—and the excitement—of our young heroine, Emmy Germain, as she blazes a trail for women in mathematical research and learns from Professor Gauss, the greatest forensic detective of them all.

Beautifully drawn and exquisitely detailed, Prime Suspects is unique, astonishing, and witty—a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience mathematics like never before.

THE
UNFINISHED
COVER
ART
OF
SPAIN
RODRIGUEZ
e
idea
of
developing
a
graphic
novel
arose
after
several
live
readings/performances
of
our
origi-
nal script.
While staging the script at Berkeley,
Jennifer stayed with a long-lost high-school friend,
Susan
Stern,
not
knowing
that
Susan
was
married
to
Spain
Rodriguez.
e
Spain
Rodriguez.
Legendary
underground
cartoonist,
creator
of
Trashman
and,
coincidentally,
the
artist
for
Sher-
lock
Holmes’
Strangest
Cases
.
Hearing
about
our
graphic
novel,
Spain
offered
to
draw
the
cover.
For
Robert,
our
artist,
this
was
his
opportunity
to
“stand
on
the
shoulders
of
a
giant"
but
sadly,
Spain
died
after
only
drawing
a
first
draft.
We
debated
whether
to“finish
it”
for
him
in
his
style,
but
in
the
end,
decided
to
include
his
original
draft
as
a
tribute
to
his
generosity
and
creativity,
which
you
can
see
on
the
