In April 2019, Sterling will publish Math Art: Truth, Beauty, and Equations, my book highlighting artists who take math as their muse. The book website is truthbeautyequations.com , and I’ll be releasing an associated podcast on Pi Day.

 

 

 

 

My story “The Whole Universe Catalog,” published in Scientific American in 2015, was selected for the 2016 volume of The Best American Science and Nature Writing.

My first book was a young adult biography of Sophie Germain, a French mathematician who overcame the prejudices and cultural climate of her time to establish herself as a prominent figure in the rise of mathematical physics. She also came up with significant insights into Fermat’s Last Theorem, a problem that remained unsolved for 400 years. Read the first chapter here.
