Abstract
Drawing is not proving. For a long time, this argument has been used to avoid the use of visualization in mathematics. Nevertheless, a number of proofs, concepts, and ideas are easier to understand with the help of a small drawing. In this chapter, the author shows that visualization in mathematics is helpful not only to illustrate but also to create ideas, and this at all levels.
