Small update to ‘Form & Number: A History of Mathematical Beauty’ [https://archive.org/details/cain_formandnumber_ebook_large].

Trivial corrections to the text and index and some minor clarifications and additional citations following comments from others.

Sample pages attached from the two-sided print variant showing a spread about the contribution of François Le Lionnais, a chemist and writer, and one of the founders of the OuLiPo group of writers [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oulipo]. Le Lionnais wrote some important articles about mathematical beauty in the late 1940s.

@ajcain This is some beautiful digital layout and typesetting work. Congrats.

@pkiff Thank you!

Any corrections/specific comments/etc. about ‘Form & Number’ are very welcome!

If you are interested in the typography, I was asked to write an article for ‘TUGBoat’ (The Communications of the TeX Users Group) about it: https://tug.org/TUGboat/tb46-1/tb142cain-setting-form.pdf (open access)
