. . .who could be entertained by a math book! I fell in love with math at age 13, when my algebra teacher explained balancing equations as being like a teeter-totter(seesaw if you took something away from one side, you had to take it away from the other side, too to make it balance. The next year, geometry was taught by a woman who also gave piano lessons. She explained geometry as being an art form. I was hooked forever by those two. (And I had HATED arithmetic before. Still do. Bless the men who discovered (invented?) silicon chips!)
