New Book, New Art: Everyone's Happy!

I have always thought that mathematics was a colorful, exciting discipline to study, and I want this reflected in the materials we publish at XYZ Textbooks. Our new Algebra: A Combined Course 2/e is our best example yet. The cover art, and the opening art in each chapter, is from the artist Tracy Taylor.  I have knows Tracy for years and I have always admired her beautiful, colorful paintings.  So, I asked her if she would be willing to create some art for this book and, happily, she was very receptive to the idea.  She came into the office and we explained the themes we were developing for each chapter of the book.  She went back to her studio and created a painting for each chapter, specific to the theme in the chapter introduction. It was an amazing and enjoyable process, and I am extremely happy with the results.

We will be in San Diego at the AMATYC conference this month, so come by the booth and take a look at our new book, and Tracy's art. I know you will like what you see.
