A visual proof that a^2 – b^2 = (a + b)(a – b)
A fun book I have is Proofs Without Words (
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1470451867
). Tons of neat diagrams like this.

Is there by any chance a book that explains what the illustrations mean? I had a quick look and it looks like I might need to know the theorems to begin with?

Proofs is not really accurate. Just visualizing some equations. I suspect this is part of some intuitions.
