Abstract
In order to improve the image of mathematics and spread mathe¬matical culture, this paper offers examples of the relationship and reciprocal influences that ever since ancient times have existed between "recreational mathematics" and "serious mathematics", as well as - more generally - be¬tween these and society in its widest sense. The given examples show how much of the so-called "serious mathematics" (even the one that produces relevant applications) has originated or been developed starting from play or competitive contexts.
