From the perspective of "an officer and a gentleman"--a memoir of World War II told through letters sent from an Army Infantry captain to his lovely Red Cross wife back home. It is a story of love amidst a heroic war; a love begun in the Army camps of the southern US, and then continued from afar from the jungles of the South Pacific--New Guinea, Dutch East Indies, and the Philippines.
Three Ancient Problems (trisecting the angle, squaring the circle, duplicating the cube) have challenged mathematicians for 2000 years. It's impossible to solve them using compass and straightedge alone, so mathematicians were challenged to create a curve or curve family to solve all three. No one accomplished this feat--until Graef. His curves were verified/published in top math publications.
