Through the lively conversations of a grandfather with his grandchildren, this book explores the magic and beauty of mathematics and the genius of the mathematicians of the ancient worlds.

A number of chapters are devoted to the fun and magic of mathematics and include many innovative and insightful derivations of the many interesting mathematical formulae related to various solid shapes. These are of special interest to both new and old learners of mathematics.

The question of whether such amazing mathematics is invented or discovered is examined, as well as the magic of the ubiquitous π, and the importance of mathematics to all fields of science and social science.
