Ever tried "The Elements" by Euclid?  It should be available from your
local public or community college library.

For a PC based mathematics system, Mathematica or Maple or MatLab or
MathCAD should be sufficient.

There are some free math sofeware on the net, a good one (from ages ago)
is ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/simtelnet/msdos/calculte/cc4_9206.zip

I found Lee Adams' graphics books throrough and in depth (and with
working code too).
