Omslaget viser Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevskii og Josiah Willard Gibbs og en illustration af dobbelt- og tredobbelte sammenhængende flader - se side 409
Indskannet omslag - N650U - 150 dpi
Det er lidt ondt at Gibbs slet ikke er nævnt i bogen, når nu hans billede med rette er at finde på forsiden, fordi han opdagede vektorcalculus.
