Mathematics for Computer Graphics

John Vince explains a wide range of mathematical techniques and problem-solving strategies associated with computer games, animation, virtual reality, CAD other areas graphics in this updated expanded fourth edition. The first four chapters revise number sets, algebra, trigonometry coordinate systems, which are employed the following on vectors, transforms, interpolation, 3D curves patches, analytic geometry barycentric coordinates. Following this, reader is introduced to relatively new topic geometric last two provide an introduction differential integral calculus, emphasis geometry.
