The figures
are not included as window dressing, in fact they play an
important role in bringing the reader to a robust understanding
of the mathematics. However they are not only instructional, they
are also fun!
For example,
on the right is an example of font design. This happens to be the
Chinese character for 'big'. Under this figure is the character
used for creating a curve on a surface (cons).
Below we have
something on the lighter side, a B-spline lollipop!
