Recreational mathematics is math carried out for entertainment, practice, and education rather than as a strict research and application-based trained activity. Even it is not necessarily limited to being an endeavor for beginners; it frequently involves mathematical puzzles and games. Several topics in this field require no knowledge of advanced mathematics, and recreational mathematics often appeals to children as adults, inspiring the further study of the science. Some of the more popular topics in recreational mathematics are fractals, logic puzzles, magic squares, and mathematical chess problems, but this section of math includes the aesthetics and culture of mathematics, including entertaining stories and coincidences about mathematics, and also the personal lives of mathematicians.
