From the front flap:
"Although mathematics developed along with civilization to help people solve practical problems, many people also found that numbers and shapes were fascinating in themselves and began to play with them for pleasure. Irving Adler's Mathematics helps children to take a closer look at this other side of mathematics - to explore numbers not just so they can solve problems but also for fun. In addition to offering an accessible introduction to basic concepts, this book provides hours of entertaining activities such as simple computer programs, mathematical games and tricks, and much more."
