a disappointment

the second edition brings a new chapter on the graphics pipeline. Well done, except that it is extremely obscure, for those who already understood the arcanes of the graphics pipeline.
Chapter 5 on "ray tracing": 6 pages on root finding of quadratic, cubic and quartic polynomials;
to compare with Chapter 7: "Visibility determination": The spatial partitioning deserves solely 4 pages.
What's the point on dwelling so much on something that is trivial and botching something that is hard to grasp and of paramount importance ?
