H.P. Lovecraft was a Mathematical Horror mathematician born in 1890. He made non-Euclidean geometry terrifying — geometry where angles don't add up to 180°.
Non-Euclidean geometry in fiction. This breakthrough changed the trajectory of mathematics at a time when the world was in the 19th century, the golden age of mathematical rigour.
The impact is still felt today. Used n-dimensional and non-Euclidean geometry as sources of horror.
