This time, I was able to use Mathematica myself to generate about two dozen new illustrations for the updated edition. Computation and computer graphics have provided a wide range of colorful, exotic images to illuminate mathematical ideas and suggest new mathematical questions. These changes are making the forbidding territories of mathematics more accessible than before to outsiders. For the mathematical tourist, a trek across abstract terrain can be both revealing and rewarding. Peeking into the minds of mathematicians, reveling in the intricacies of number and shape, and tangling with intriguing concepts provide much food for deep thought.
Comments are welcome.
