    Along the lines of "seeing" the fourth dimension, can anyone 
    recommend a really good book that can help in understanding
    the mathematics of mapping from the 4th to the 3rd dimension,
    i.e., mapping of hypercubes to 3-d space and from there to a
    2-d display screen, or going directly from 4 to 2-d.  I 
    understand that Flatland is good for teasing the mind with some
    fourth dimensional concepts, but I would like a little more.
