It tells the story of a young girl called Alexandra Grate (Alex for short), who ends up in a parallel world where both Latin and math are used for magic. She encounters famous historical and mythological figures like Archimedes, Socrates, Aristotle, Plato, and Daedalus, who are powerful magicians there, and has to save this world from a duo of Evil Sorcerers, Diades and Demetrius. Archimedes becomes Alex's mentor in magic: fortunately she learned Latin from her mother, but now she wishes that she paid more attention in school at math classes...

- Alliterative Title: Magicae Mathematica.

- Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: Each of the volumes has a Latin Foreign Language Title.
- Smart People Know Latin: Alex learned Latin from her mother, who studied it in college.
- Teasing from Behind the Language Barrier: Alex and her mother Martha are fond of using Latin as their secret language, and often speak it in front of their husband/father to tease him.This was a game Alex and her mom had been playing since she was a little girl. Martha had studied Latin in college and wanted to pass the language down to her daughter. It was a dead language, she realized, but like any parent she wanted to share something she’d once found special herself with her daughter. They’d often speak in their “secret code” when her dad was home. They’d share secrets and sometimes just talk in front of him to make him suspicious of them. Alex loved Latin. It was her special connection with her mom.
- Teasing Parent: Inverted. Alex and her mom love teasing Alex's dad by speaking in Latin when he's around.
