Contents:
Introduction to Computer Graphics -- Two-Dimensional Transformations -- Three-Dimensional Transformations -- Plane Curves -- Space Curves -- Surface Description and Generation -- Appendices: Computer Graphics Software ; Matrix Algebra Pseudocode ; B-Spline Surface File Format ; Problems ; Programming Projects ; Algorithms.
Summary: This text is ideal for junior-, senior-, and graduate-level courses in computer graphics and computer-aided design taught in departments of mechanical and aeronautical engineering and computer science. It presents in a unified manner an introduction to the mathematical theory underlying computer graphic applications. It covers topics of keen interest to students in engineering and computer science: transformations, projections, 2-D and 3-D curve definition schemes, and surface definitions. It also includes techniques, such as B-splines, which are incorporated as part of the software in advanced engineering workstations. A basic knowledge of vector and matrix algebra and calculus is required.
