Her uncle, Pyotr Vasilievich Krukovsky, spoke about mathematics to her. When Sofia was 11 years old, her nursery walls were covered with the pages of Ostrogradski's lecture notes on differential and integral analysis. She recognized parts of the papers that her uncle had mentioned. The papers were her introduction into calculus.
