#Maths #fun – great graphics help to understand math

Good visualisations make math so much easier to grasp, so I completely agree with Thomas Mueller (dummzeuch)  who wrote “Why didn’t my Maths teachers use this kind of graphic? Why wasn’t it in the expensive book?”

I like the last picture best (I wonder though what colour blind people think about them).
