- There are not too many that can even come close. G Papy GROUPS is an
- obscure book, with lots of color to illustrate symmetry. Presumably
- some of the Rubik's cube books may have what you want. A motivated
- high school student should be able to follow Fraleigh's text.
-
- There is also, off to the side, Knuth SURREAL NUMBERS and E Landau
- FOUNDATIONS OF ANALYSIS, and Lang's two Springer-Verlag paperbacks.
-
- And read the introduction to Dieudonne LINEAR ALGEBRA AND GEOMETRY.
