Good article about math phobia and the scarcity of good visualizations/geometrizations of math concepts. Article would be better if the original magazine illustration (an 1847 color-diagrammed Euclidean proof by Oliver Byrne) was also included.

Dear Trace:

Agreed! We've updated the article to include the illustration at a reasonable size.
