My book “Mathematics under the Microscope” reached the production stage at the American Mathematical Society publishing branch. One of the few last decisions that I will have to make is a choice of a picture for the front cover. Please send me suggestions! I need a nice clean image which acts as a symbol of non-formal, creative aspects of mathematics. Crucially, the image should also be copyright clean. My warmest thanks in advances!
And this is my photograph for the back cover:
Sorry, but thats a pretty vague description. You could just open MS paint and do something that looks like a Pollock and then call it a NC space.
Your book is really good. When will it be possible to get a actual copy in the real world in the UK?
P.S. Don’t make it expensive.
P.P.S. Or you could have a picture of bubbles bursting.

Why are you sitting in front of a “white!?” board instead of a black board. Bad form, my friend.

“You could just open MS paint and do something that looks like a Pollock . . .”
No, sorry, not possible. Only genuine Pollocks look like Pollock.

Why not the same slice of the portrait Luca Pacioli as you are using for this site? I love the idea of just seeing the hands and no face.
