This is a re-post.  I'd really appreciate any and all pointers
to summaries and/or translations of these works.  Thanks.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
I've enjoyed Hans Lauwerier's _Fractals: Endlessly Repeated
Geometrical Figures_ (Princeton Univ. Press, 1991; originally
published in Dutch by Aramith Uitgevers, Bloemendaal, 1987)
off and on the last year, and I was hoping someone could tell
me more about a couple of references he gives therein.

   Lauwerier, H.A.  _Analyse met de microcomputer_.  Epsilon
   uitgaven, 1987.

   Lauwerier, H.A.  _Meetkunde met de microcomputer_.  Epsilon
   uitgaven, 1987.

At the risk of making a foolish mistake, I'll guess that these
titles translate into _Analysis with the Microcomputer_ and
_Geometry with the Microcomputer_, respectively.  Of these works,
Lauwerier says

   These volumes are aimed at use in schools.  The emphasis
   is on making graphic representations, tracing figures in
   the plane, and projections of spatial bodies.

My questions are:

1) Would someone care to comment on the content of these texts?

2) Have these texts been used in Dutch schools, and if so, with
what success?

3) Do English translations exist?

Thanks in advance,
