(Fiction, 384 p. 2014)
Sasha Karnokovitch and his family would like to mourn the passing of his mother, Rachela, with modesty and dignity. But Rachela, a brilliant Polish émigré mathematician, is rumored to have solved the million-dollar Navier-Stokes Millenium Prize problem, and spitefully taken the solution to her grave. A motley group of socially challenged mathematicians arrives to crash the shiva, vowing to do whatever it takes to find the solution.
