35: Visual Representation of Mathematics

Many technical and academic fields have a language system that is unique to them. These language systems allow for the comprehension, progression, and further analysis of subjects within a field. One such example is seen with the emergence of the visual representation of mathematics. With the help of new technologies, these visual representations enhance the mathematical edification of its users and further proliferates the advance of the discipline. The subject of mathematics is separated into many distinctive fields, each of which has been influenced by the recent developments in visualizations. In this chapter, I present some of the mathematical fields influenced by visualization processes and technologies, and develop its relationship to the overarching classification of alternative literacies.
