My (non-Python) plug is for "Fractals Visualization and J"
by Clifford A. Reiter.

This is a second edition of a book of math visualization 
explorations using the J language - which is a terse but
interesting mathematically (executable symbolic math) 
oriented language that has apparently been around some time.

Despite the book's name, it covers areas well beyond fractals.

Site is http://ww2.lafayette.edu/~reiterc/j/

I expect it to stimulate some ideas for extending  
PyGeo, my geometric visualization tool created in 
and scriptable with P(ython).
