Book Description:
Requires only a basic knowledge of mathematics and is geared toward the general educated specialists. Includes agallery of color images and Mathematica code listings. Computer graphics is important in many areas including engineering design, architecture, education, and computer art and animation. This book examines a wide array of current methods used in creating real-looking objects in the computer, one of the main aims of computer graphics. Good foundational mathematical introduction to curves and surfaces; no advanced math required. Topics organized by different interpolation/approximation techniques, each technique providing useful information about curves and surfaces. Exposition motivated by numerous examples and exercises sprinkled throughout, aiding the reader. Includes a gallery of color images, Mathematica code listings, and sections on curves and surfaces by refinement and on sweep surfaces. This engaging text is geared to a broad and general readership of computer science/architecture engineers using computer graphics to design objects, programmers for computer gamemakers, applied mathematicians, and students majoring in computer graphics and its applications. It may be used in a classroom setting or as a general reference.
Formulae, Examples and Proofs
A complete overview of the geometry associated with computer graphics that provides everything a reader needs to understand the topic. Includes a summary hundreds of formulae used to solve 2D and 3D geometric problems; worked examples; proofs; mathematical strategies for solving geometric problems; a glossary of terms used in geometry....
Symbolic Shape Design Using Interval Analysis
Offers a new and symbolic approach to geometric modelling which addresses the problem of how to build shape-defining parametric functions. Operators include arithmetic operators, vector and matrix operators, and integration, differentiation, constraint solution, and global optimization....
2nd Edition
Baffled by maths? Then don't give up hope. 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. 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. After reading the book, y...
