When I get round to it I'll also add boxes for:

Perhaps 'representation of mathematics' might be better than visualisation. There doesn't seem to be a proper topic for it currently in Wiki. Basically any way of getting a feel for a mathematical structure or way of thinking. For instance the representation of complex numbers by the Argand diagram. And then again should it be called visualisation when it's haptic or aural? As one who tends to the kinesthetic and can't easily remember the colour of my front door off-hand it's a real question. For instance I believe giving feedback so 4d objects could be touched would make them much more real and easy to think about. Have a look at an ancient device which shows the sort of thing I mean.
