: Re: What's the best way to write (or rewrite) a math book? I've been writing a book that has a fair share of geometric diagrams and equations. However, I am unable to make use of a computer

Here are some suggestions of tools you can use to make your drawings:

GeoGebra: Interactive geometry, algebra, statistics and calculus application, intended for learning and teaching mathematics and science from primary school to university level [Wikipedia].
Inkscape: Can be used to create or edit vector graphics such as illustrations, diagrams, line arts, charts, logos and complex paintings [Wikipedia].
Corel Draw: Vector graphics editor, like Inkscape, but more professional and not free.
Tikz: Tool to create graphic elements in LaTeX, but you have to code. (Examples)

I believe you should try GeoGebra first. It might be entirely suitable for you, and I think it's the easiest to work with.

Looking up video tutorials about these tools might help a lot.

To import the figures to your Latex document, make sure you always save your drawings in a vector format (such as SVG, EPS or PDF); this format will give you the best quality.
Also remember to make a copy of each drawing in an editable format (so if you want you can edit it afterwards with whichever tool you used to create it).
