Beschreibung
Baffled by maths? Then don't give up hope.
John Vince will show you how to understand many of the mathematical ideas used in computer animation, virtual reality, CAD, and other areas of computer graphics.
In thirteen chapters you will rediscover - and hopefully discover for the first time a new way of understanding - the mathematical techniques required to solve problems and design computer programs for computer graphic applications. Each chapter explores a specific mathematical topic and takes you forward into more advanced areas until you are able to understand 3D curves and surface patches, and solve problems using vectors.
After reading the book, you should be able to refer to more challenging books with confidence and develop a greater insight into the design of computer graphics software.

From the reviews of the second edition:
“The aim of this book is to give a computer user mathematical tools and techniques to solve problems in computer graphics. It specifically targets non-mathematicians … giving a good overview of what mathematics can do for the computer graphics user, designer and programmer. … the book does fulfil its own promise – to present the reader with the mathematics’ basics useful for computer graphics, and to give the ability to refer to more challenging math topics with confidence.” (A. Ulovec, Monatshefte für Mathematik, Vol. 155 (2), October, 2008)()
