I just recently went to the exploratorium in SF and saw an exhibit there suggesting that the catenary made a good arch, so browsed that chapter and saw a bit of explanation here which helped. Was also interested to see that Jefferson played some part in the history here.
I own the original Exploring Mathematics with Your Computer(Turbo Pascal version).
It’s an excellent introduction to algorithms for people coming from a mathematics background.
Really happy to see it revived in Python.
Very nice. I was looking for something fun to work on over the break. Thank you for this.

However, I don't see the entire book as a single pdf?

Too bad
