The Mathematics Teacher, 1927
It may seem unwarranted to speak of romance in connection with a subject commonly supposed to be as dry and prosaic as mathematics. The dictionary defines a romance as a “fictitious and wonderful tale.” The tale which I am about to relate is indeed wonderful but it is not fictitious—it is true and it is the kind of truth that is stranger than fiction ...
