Abstract
Millions of children and adults are acquainted with the book, Alice in Wonderland, and its author, Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson). It is also a fairly well-known fact that Carroll was some sort of a mathematician. Few people realize, however, the amount of mathematics contained in this seemingly simple book and others like it. Nor do most people realize the effect of Carroll's mathematical mind upon his work. “Alice in Wonder land owes its unique place in our literature to the fact that it was the work of a genius, that of a mathematician and logician who was also a humorist and a poet.”1 In fact, the “Alice” books (Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass) have been described as the “original work of a mathematician and logician, interested in the precise meaning of words, who was at the same time a genius of invention and poetic imagination with a love for children and a gift for entertaining them.”2
