Written by Marcus du Sautoy
From the Simonyi Professorfor the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford Universitycomes a ground-breaking new play: The Axiom of Choice.
Join mathematician Andre Weil as he travels from France to India, to Finland and eventually to a decision that decides not just his fate, but that of mathematics.
Imprisoned in Rouen during the Second World War, our hero, Weil, faces a choice that will determine his fate. And yet his final decision just doesn’t make sense. Is life like a mathematical theorem made up of interconnected logical strands? Does a life always add up?
