JELEÑSKI Szczepan - Lilavati

"Lilavati means charming, charming! Such, probably, was this Indian girl endowed with uncommon mathematical talent; but such, above all, is mathematics itself." Already from the excerpt of the preface the author wants to transfer his own love of mathematics. The book vividly tells in beautiful language about mathematical issues "great and small", giving them in a colorful array of anecdotes, interesting puzzles and games, and even "juggling tricks".
