Thank you! I think i have to start using Jupyter more so that I know how to make the best use of it or troubleshoot it when it hangs and even a kernel restart won;t help! But really love how it allows me to show the code and output together. I started using a custom.css file to increase the font size, so definitely improvement for me. > > "Math is an endless source of things to program and programming in itself is > a useful skill-building activity" is my soft sell. > > The hard sell being "programming opens more doors into mathematics than > other media, and aids the imagination more directly". > > Especially true when we add such as Pi3D and VPython, along with ray tracing > (e.g. POV-ray [1]) to graphical equation plotting, thereby getting into > Mandelbulb territory (a kind of 3D Mandelbrot). > > The graphical and the lexical blend together.

[2] Indeed, you add very nice points! I discovered the typography and the ability to zoom in while I was working on this.
