Bessie Irving Miller invites general readers to explore the imaginative appeal of mathematics and its connections with other branches of knowledge. The lectures grew from a college course designed to open paths into a subject that students might otherwise leave behind.
Miller uses examples, diagrams and reflections on scientific ideas to connect mathematical reasoning with curiosity, beauty and intellectual discovery. The book is an invitation to further study, with reading suggestions extending into physics and psychology. This complete 1924 collection preserves its original illustrations, mathematical expressions, prefaces and bibliography.
