Computer Graphics and Mathematics

Since its very existence as a separate field within computerscience, computer graphics had to make extensive use ofnon-trivial mathematics, for example, projective geometry,solid modelling, and approximation theory. This interplay ofmathematics and computer science is exciting, but also makesit difficult for students and researchers to assimilate ormaintain a view of the necessary mathematics. Thepossibilities offered by an interdisciplinary approach arestill not fully utilized. This book gives
