"The Library of Babel is arguably Jorge Luis Borges' best known story. Now, in The Unimaginable Mathematics of Borges' Library of Babel, William Goldbloom Bloch takes readers on a fascinating tour of the mathematical ideas hidden within one of the' classic works of modern literature. Bloch begins each chapter with a mathematical idea - combinatorics, topology, geometry, information theory - followed by examples and illustrations that put flesh on the theoretical bones. In this way, he provides many insights into Borges' Library."--Book jacket.
