| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc | Baffled by maths? Then don't give up hope.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>Get to grips with mathematics fast - Numbers, Algebra, Trigonometry, Coordinate geometry, Transforms, Vectors, Curves and surfaces, Barycentric coordinates, Analytic geometry.<br/><br/>The book you will read once, and refer to over and over again! |
