Lieber (1886–1986) was a Russian-born American mathematician, writer, and educator known for her engaging and accessible explanations of advanced mathematical concepts. She earned her PhD in mathematics from Clark University and later became the head of the mathematics department at Long Island University. Through her books, often illustrated by her husband Hugh Lieber, she aimed to make abstract mathematical ideas—such as Einstein’s relativity, topology, and higher-dimensional geometry—understandable to a general audience. Her works, written in a unique free-verse style, often explored the philosophical and ethical implications of mathematics, emphasizing creativity, freedom, and human progress. Hugh Lieber (1888–1961) was an artist, illustrator, and art professor, best known for his collaborations with his wife, Lilian Lieber. A skilled draftsman, he provided whimsical, expressive illustrations that complemented Lilian’s mathematical writings, helping to visualise complex concepts in an engaging and accessible manner. He taught at Long Island University and had a background in fine arts, bringing a playful and humanistic touch to mathematical ideas. His drawings added a unique charm to Lilian’s books, reinforcing their mission of making mathematics both enjoyable and meaningful.. Good+ with no dust jacket .
