Introduction

I composed this abecedarium, or book of alphabets, while taking a class in calligraphy, the art of find handwriting.

For each alphabet, there is the name of the alphabet, the alphabet itself, and a quotation written in the alphabet.

Most of the quotations are from famous mathematicians or about mathematics..

After viewing each page of the abecedarium, use your browser back button to return to this page.
