The word problems in Lilavati invoke bees and flowers, kings and gods to describe exercises in linear and quadratic equations, progressions, combinations and geometry. This ancient sanskrit manuscript is now presented in a graphic novel format with 106 illustrated panels.

Nice mix of Math and History
The intertwining of Maths and history is really awesome! That makes the presentation really interesting. Add to that the amazing illustrations. This makes learning really fun. Looking forward to more works for the author!
Colorful and informative
This is a fun book. Some of the material could use more explanation, but on the whole it delivers a lot of information in a colorful way.
