John Vince describes the various mathematical techniques and problem solving strategies related to computer games, computer animation, virtual reality, CAD, computer graphics and other areas. Includes all necessary mathematical techniques to solve geometric problems and design computer programs for computer graphics applications, each chapter discusses a particular mathematical topic before moving forward into more advanced areas of the matrix transformation, 3D curve and surface patches. problem-solving techniques using vector analysis and geometric algebra are also discussed. All major areas covered include: Numbers, Algebra, Trigonometry, coordinate geometry, Transforms, Vectors, Curves and surfaces, Barycentric coordinates, Analytic geometry. Plus?
