Seeking a specific book with graphs of interesting functions, but can't remember the name

131 Views Asked by At

I am looking for a specific book that was recommended on youtube in either a Numberphile or Matt Parker video. it was a visual dictionary of pictures of interesting plots of math functions. the cover was blue and black. I think the name of the book was similar to "A List of Interesting Functions and their Graphs" IIRC. What is the name or ISBN of the book?

EDIT: I already have the NIST book. The book I am looking for would likely be in the category of recreational mathematics or mathematics as art. The video was definitely more than 6 months ago. maybe even a year ago. it was a new video at that time.

I am not %100 sure but I think I found the book. I still can't find the video where Matt Parker suggested it.
