| Abstract
|
:
|
Assuming a basic knowledge of coordinate geometry, this book combines an introduction to the graphics programming language PostScript with advice on what goes into good mathematical illustrations, how good graphics can help explain mathematics & a treatment of the maths needed to make such illustrations.
