Art & a family connection
The banners on this website and the book covers feature details from paintings by Louis Peyré (1923–2012). His landscapes, interiors, and still lifes bring their colors and textures to this collection of mathematical books.
The paintings are part of Gabriel Peyré’s family history. Each banner and cover includes an artist credit; the small resource previews show examples from the teaching material itself.
