Mathematician
American mathematician about whom (despite her time at Long Island University) few details survive.

Most famous for her work directed at T.C. Mits (The Celebrated Man In The Street). Her husband Hugh Gray Lieber often did the illustrations.

Some editions of her work are credited to Lilian R. Lieber, but most resources have her as Lillian.
