Welcome to 笑わない数学者 - Mathematical Goodbye (S&M Vol.3)
This book is part of the Saikawa & Moe (S&M) Series Book Club. Join the Saikawa & Moe (S&M) Series Book Club here!
This is Volume 3 in the Saikawa & Moe (S&M) series by MORI Hiroshi.
Volume 1: すべてがFになる - The Perfect Insider
Volume 2: 冷たい密室と博士たち - Doctors in Isolated Room
These have already been read by the club.
Despite this book being Vol. 3, it shouldn’t be much of a problem to read it without knowing the other volumes. There seem to be some back references to persons we met in the preceding books but it’s probably not too involved. In any case, if you are wondering about anything while reading this book, you are of course free to ask and somebody can fill you in.
