"Abraham Lincoln's Cyphering Book and Ten Other Extraordinary Cyphering Books" by Nerida Ellerton explores the fascinating world of arithmetic through the lens of historical figures and their unique cyphering books. The book emphasizes the importance of mathematical literacy in the 19th century and showcases how these personal notebooks were not just academic tools, but also reflections of the individuals’ aspirations and intellectual journeys. Through engaging narratives and illustrations, the text highlights the role of mathematics in shaping modern society while celebrating the achievement of learning in a time when education was a privilege rather than a right.
