We were relaxing after supper, my daughter, who was ten, and my ninety-six-year-old grandmother, and I.

...that is, “Let no-one without knowledge of geometry enter:” the inscription displayed on the entrance to Plato’s Academy reminds us how close the relationships between mathematics1 and philosophy used to be.
