The second edition of the "Essential Mathematics for Computational Design" is now available with free download from:
http://download.rhino3d.com/en/Rhino/4.0/EssentialMathematicsSecond...

Essential Mathematics uses Grasshopper to introduce design professionals to foundation mathematical concepts that are necessary for effective development of computational methods for 3D modeling and computer graphics.

This second edition includes a few new sections, but most importantly it carefully reviews the material to ensure clarity and consistency of all concepts. This edition also includes 31 Grasshopper samples in a separate file (EssentialSamples.ghx).

Please Enjoy!
