Here are some typos from a first reading.

### the "2d and 3d" and "2-D and 3-D" are debatable. Personally, I
usually use "2-D" and "3-D" and this is the case in Australia.

A general remark --- Page 1 shows a screenshot of a notebook session,
but nowhere in the document is this figure referred to. The figure on
page 3 is captioned and is subsequently referred to as "Figure 1". You
might want to consider numbering all your figures and refer to each of
them at least once. I think this gives an impression that
images/figures are incorporated for a purpose, not randomly scaterred
without purpose.
