ATD and Math/Science

And he also says that this:

http://froogle.google.com/froogle?q=Dover+A+History+of+Vector+Analysis:+The+Evolution+of+the+Idea+of+a+Vectorial+System+(Paperback)+&hl=en&safe=off&sa=X&oi=froogle&ct=title

is the rosetta stone of Vector Analysis and , and hard to find but
I suspect it won't be all that hard to find.

I think this is relevant:

Pynchon takes the science of this period and incorporates 
it deeply into the language and structure of Against the Day, 
more so perhaps than in any of his other novels. . . .   . . . .This
material is not just filler - it's critical to the core of Against the Day, 
a fact which has been underappreciated in early reviews of the novel. 
One reviewer claimed that a new generation of writers has a "grasp 
of the systems that fascinate Pynchon -- science, capitalism, religion, 
politics, technology -- [that] is surer, more nuanced, more adult and 
inevitably yields more insight into how those systems work than 
Pynchon offers here." When it comes to science at least, this claim 
is not true - Pynchon's achievement in Against the Day proves that 
he is peerless as a poet who can mine the most abstract realms of 
very real science for gems of insight, and set them beautifully into 
the context of the humanity that is the ultimate concern of his novels.
