Book Introduction
“Can math be a story too?” The first math fairy tale by world-renowned mathematician Professor Minhyung Kim! “I hope that children will realize the power of stories that permeates both mathematics and literature. I would be happy if you discovered the 'fun of mathematics.' ― Kim Min-hyung The first volume of the first math fairy tale series, “Professor Kim Min-hyung’s Mathematical Reasoning Exploration Team,” by world-renowned mathematician Professor Kim Min-hyung, who boasts a splendid resume including being the first early graduate of Seoul National University’s Department of Mathematics, the first Korean to become a professor of mathematics at Oxford University, and the world’s first professor emeritus of popularizing mathematics (at the University of Warwick), has been published. This project, which began with the question, “Can mathematics also become a story?”, demonstrates that mathematics is not about finding answers, but rather the process necessary to find them, through the power of storytelling that permeates both mathematics and literature. To achieve this, we challenged ourselves with the mystery adventure genre, allowing young readers to develop their mathematical thinking skills by asking questions and coming up with solutions to problems from various perspectives. In "Professor Kim Min-hyung's Mathematical Mystery Exploration," twins connect to their father, a mathematician, in order to find his missing father. They understand the mathematician's way of thinking, discover the principles of mathematics, and find solutions to encrypted puzzles one by one. With a solid narrative, vibrant cartoons, and information pages that reinforce mathematical concepts, this book is sure to keep you entertained. It will lead children who have lost interest in math due to its difficulty and become dropouts early on, as well as those who memorize formulas to find answers, into the new and fun world of mathematics. |

Into the book
“I’m your older sister.
Dad always writes my name first in his letters.
“I am 0! You are 1!”
“Tch! You always say you come first.
“I am a person who seems to be non-existent, so I am called 0, but why am I 1?”
“What? Someone who doesn’t seem to exist?”
“Even though they’re twins, they’re so different! The number 1 means ‘the best,’ and also signifies coming together as ‘one.’
“My father calls me that because he cherishes Suin and Jane the most and wants them to be one.”
--- p.39 From "Episode 1: 'To London in Search of Dad'"
“Stealing Dad’s mind…….
“What on earth does that mean?”
Suin looked at the closed front door and thought about Dr. Chen's words.
--- p.56 From "Episode 2 'Who Took Dr. Lee Min-hyung'"
Dr. Chen leaned on the bookshelf next to the sofa with one hand and covered his face with the other, as if in pain.
To Youngji, it seemed like Dr. Chen knew something but was avoiding answering.
--- p.95 From "Episode 3: Intruders in Beak Masks"
"okay.
This note was definitely left for us by our father.
“It’s a rule that only we know.”
Starting with 0 and ending with 1 was my dad's rule.
But the note was different.
As I thought about the rules, I started to see things that were just passing by.
--- p.101 From "Episode 3: Intruders in Beak Masks"
“This is a digitized image of Dr. Lee’s brain.”
“Is that Dad’s brain?”
"Well, Dad's thoughts are shown here, but we can only see the neural circuits, we don't know what process led to the result.
“Only your father can interpret that.”
--- p.135 From Episode 4, "Is My Dad a Secret Researcher?"
Dinga Dinga was like a guide to the world inside my father's head.
I have faith that I can safely explore this world with Dinga Dinga.
"Everywhere I step, I end up in a different room! A room that exists but isn't there! A room with the number 0! Should we try another room?"
--- p.163 From "Episode 5: 'Brain Contact, the World Inside Dad's Head'"
The joy of finding the answer was short-lived, but “In said with doubt.
“The answer is easy, but the question is what question Pythagoras is answering.” Suin muttered the word ‘question’ and then suddenly remembered it.
“There was another problem.
What happens when you add 0 and 1? The answer can't be 1, which everyone knows, right?"

Publisher's Review
The birth of a 'math reasoning fairy tale' that fosters mathematical thinking through the power of storytelling!
My father, who was conducting secret research, was kidnapped by unidentified beak masks!
Can the Twins' detective team solve the hidden codes and save their father?
The 'language of mathematics', which has become essential in the AI era, is presented as a mathematical reasoning fairy tale.
Professor Kim Min-hyung, who has been at the forefront of popularizing mathematics, has long pondered how to make children, who will become the leaders of future society, familiar with mathematics.
This is because mathematics is becoming increasingly essential language for living in a rapidly developing world with artificial intelligence, chat GPT, and quantum computers.
But how can we show children, who frown at the mere mention of "math," that math can be fun? "Professor Kim Min-hyung's Math Mystery Exploration Team" explores these questions, delving into diverse literary works and paintings, exploring history and the future, family and friends, good and evil, and even life and death. This math mystery fairy tale presents the world with these questions in mind.
The story begins when her father, a mathematician conducting secret research in England, is kidnapped by unknown individuals wearing beak masks. It depicts the process of twin daughters Su-in and Jane finding clues left behind by their father and becoming closer to his world filled with mathematics.
The twins solve problems one by one by recalling the contents hidden in the affectionate letter sent by their father, such as 'the process of creating the numbers 0 and 1', 'the world made of 0 and 1', 'numbers and counting', 'what math and reasoning have in common', and 'the finger numbers that teach the principle of binary'.
Young readers become a team of mathematical detectives through their father's letters filled with mathematical depth, and naturally learn the language of mathematics as they solve clues together with Suin and Jane.
By the time you finish the last chapter, you'll find mathematics embedded in every moment of your daily life, helping you understand the world with clarity and precision.
A detective adventure into the world of 0 and 1
When looking at the equation '0+1=?', it is common to think of the answer '1' without hesitation.
But after reading this book, you will discover another meaning of 0 and 1, which cannot be added to two numbers.
The first volume shows the world of the most important numbers for mathematicians: '0' and '1'.
Just like the indispensable numbers 0 and 1 in mathematics, Dad calls his twin daughters, Suin and Jane, who are irreplaceable in the world, 0 and 1, respectively.
The story of Suin (0) and Jane (1) trying to rescue their kidnapped father begins when the two join forces.
When 0 and 1 join forces, we can read all the meanings of the world that were previously invisible.
The twins' world expands as they learn about 0 and 1 as symbols, including Morse code, binary, quantum mechanics, and semiconductor numbers.
As they solve the puzzle one by one, the twins become convinced that their father has hidden clues throughout the house and is leaving it up to them to solve the case.
And finally, the twins discover a closed subway station connected to their father's basement music room.
What on earth will happen there?
How do mathematicians view the world?
My father is a mathematician who can predict the future.
This means that we will not be able to predict the future with the help of mathematicians with foresight, but with the computational power of quantum computers that are just around the corner.
Professor Kim Min-hyung's Mathematical Mystery Exploration is also a mystery exploration drama that uses mathematical imagination to depict quantum computers, which have not yet reached the commercialization stage.
The father, who succeeded in developing a computer that can predict the future, knew exactly that his cat, Dinga Dinga, would get into a car accident.
He also predicts that strangers will break into his house and take him away in 10 minutes, so he leaves a coded note for his twin.
The twins enter an underground tunnel connected to their father's house to solve the final puzzle written on the note, where they have another surprising experience.
I was able to get into my dad's head through a 'brain contact' that worked in exactly the same way as his brain.
The empty space in my head, where there was nothing, begins to create something as I follow Dinga Dinga's guidance.
Children who have been exploring the world of 0 and 1 experience firsthand the digital signal that creates 0 and 1 simultaneously, and the enigmatic Schrödinger's principle of 'quantum superposition', which is the existence (1) and nonexistence (0).
In this way, the concept of a quantum computer that can compute interactions in two superposition states is naturally incorporated into this book, so that when you reason with your twins, you can learn the principles of quantum computers, which were previously considered difficult, in a fun and adventurous way.
