A Certain
Ambiguity is a novel about the adventures of a boy named Ravi Kapor and his
love for math. It all started during his 12th birthday when his
grandfather presented him a ‘magical equation’ and gave him a calculator as a
gift. He really admired his grandfather and learned to appreciate math more.
Sadly, his grandfather died the next day. He grew indifferent to mathematics
because of his grandfather’s absence.
Ravi got
accepted to Stanford and took a path inclined to economics. He then meets
Professor Nico who specializes in the field same as Ravi’s grandfather. He then
found out about his grandfather’s imprisonment because he was accused of
blasphemy due to his comparison of math to religion.
Compared
to the previous books, this was a good and easy read. It was easy to understand
and fun to read. It felt like Ravi was telling me his story. Personally, I like
novels or stories written in first person because they make me feel connected
to the characters more.
I hope
I can meet Ravi or Prof. Nico so they can make me appreciate math more and
personally teach me or something. They view math as something magical and
beautiful and I want them to tell that to me face to face. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll
learn to appreciate math more. :)
