I have been searching for a book about a mathematician who figures out some math problem that ends up putting his soul into the body of a black dragon. I have never read this book, but the person who told me about it does not know the title or the author. Can someone help me identify it?

1You may need to offer more information for someone to work it out for you. Literally anything you know about the book can be helpful. – James Sheridan Feb 15 '14 at 5:45

2There's a pretty solid list of books where people turn into dragons. Maybe it's one of these; tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ScaledUp – Valorum Feb 15 '14 at 7:52
Could you be looking for The Dragon and the George by Gordon R. Dickson? The main character becomes trapped in the body of a black dragon after going through an astral projection machine.

1Elements of "The Dragon and the George" were also used in the animated film "Flight of Dragons", wherein a college student who excelled at math was accidentally put into the body of a dragon. He then had to defeat the evil sorcerer villain using logic & science vs. the sorceror's magic. – Omegacron Feb 17 '14 at 14:39

There's 10 books in Dickson's Dragon Knight series, of which The Dragon and the George is the first: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Knight Protaganist is a mathematician: books.google.com/books/about/… – Wayfaring Stranger Feb 24 '14 at 18:24
That could perhaps be Tea With the Black Dragon by R A MacAvoy, although it's hard to be sure without more details.

1Aside from the Dragon in the title, I see no match to the OP's description. It's more like the Dragon has become a man than vice-versa. – mpez0 Feb 16 '14 at 2:03
