The story

Robert, a brilliant mathematician who used to work at the University of Chicago, startles his daughter Catherine while she watches TV.

Meanwhile, Hal, a former graduate student of Robert's, is reading through the latter's notebooks, which are filled with meaningless notes.

He explains that he wanted to give her the notebook as a birthday present because it "had something written in it about her".
