Magazine articles on flat figures
Here we will include downloadable copies of articles on flat figures. If the respective authors or magazine object to these files being available, we will obviously have to remove them. In the meantime, please respect the copyright of the magazines and do not reproduce them in any other publication.

We already have a number of articles to include, but would be interested in contributions to this section. Space on the server may become a problem, in which case we may have to rotate them.

 

These articles are in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format.

Although now somewhat dated they still make interesting reading and you can download them here in Acrobat format.
