I have never tasted the joy of mathematics, and I have never explored the world of mathematics. What a loss! The articles in this book have recently provided me with some compensation for this loss. After I met Xun Yu, he started writing these articles. Every time he publishes, I read it, and what attracts me to read is their interesting subject matter. I am often unconsciously lured into the world of mathematics—— Famous painter and writer Feng Zikai

From junior high school to high school, there were three sets of books that I really enjoyed reading, one of which was Mr. Xu Chunfang's book about plane geometry—— Li Zhaohua, Director of the Chinese Mathematical Society and Professor of Mathematics at Tianjin Normal University
The book about geometry problem-solving written by Mr. Xu Chunfang left a deep impression on me and was particularly interesting—— Jiang Nianzu, a special grade teacher in Jiangsu Province and a master's supervisor at Yangzhou University

In order to cultivate students' interest in mathematics, he often combines textbooks in the classroom and introduces some Chinese mathematical history in the form of stories... He also holds math tutoring lectures outside of class, presents some interesting math competition questions, and allows students to study and answer them. No matter how many answers are correct, there will be a prize, which is a stationery item he personally bought or a math reading book he compiled himself—— Zhao Kan and Zhou Baocheng's "Interesting History of Mathematics"

In my freshman year of college, I remember listening to Mr. Chen Huaishu's elementary mathematics, Mr. Tang Yanyi's advanced calculus and complex function theory, Mr. Shi Faren's differential equations, and Mr. Wu Chonglin's algebraic equation theory. These were all experienced professors with profound professional knowledge, and I gained a lot from them. First grade is a normal class, with a very solid foundation and a good academic atmosphere. My mathematical foundation was established at that time, and I gradually developed an interest in mathematics—— Wu Wenjun, a famous mathematician and academician of the CAS Member

3 volumes:
"Mathematical Fun"
"Ancient Mathematical Fun"
"A Grand View of Mathematical Games"

The book "Math Fun" is a fun math reading material specifically designed for teenagers. The book analyzes the essence of mathematics in a clear and concise manner, while selecting many common mathematical problems in daily life and presenting them in lively language, making them easy to understand and full of fun.


The book "Fun with Ancient Mathematics" selects the most representative materials from many obscure and difficult to understand ancient mathematical works, creatively recombining them with simple and beautiful words and captivating storylines. This book not only breaks down the barriers between mathematics and literature, but also bridges the gap between ancient mathematics and modern readers.


"The Grand View of Mathematical Games" is regarded as the foundational work in the field of modern Chinese interesting mathematics. The mathematical games in the book are rich in illustrations and diverse in form, including numbers, money, time, age, geometry, algebra, games, mazes, and other major categories.
