What is Mathematical and Computer Programming Techniques for Computer Graphics about?

This book provides a concise and fairly comprehensive introduction to the core mathematics and algorithms needed for basic computer graphics applications. The first four chapters titled "Survival Kits" introduce the basic mathematical concepts of 1) Set Theory, 2) Vector Algebra, 3) Matrix Algebra and, 4) Linear Spaces. They present the key concepts in these areas in handbook fashion, with definitions, concise presentations of concepts, and theorems and proofs as needed. The handbook style allows the author to present important definitions and concepts quickly. However, some may find the brief presentations and minimal motivational development needing more expansion. The final six chapters cover key transformation and rendering concepts. The implementation of techniques in C functions and pseudo-code algorithms is a definite plus. The C language's library and pointers are widely used. The author avoids the use of "tricky" coding techniques, so code examples are generally easy to follow, particularly for those familiar with a C-related language. e.g., C++. Fortunately code examples also contain a fair amount of comments, aiding conversion to other programming languages. Althou
