Reviews
From the reviews:
“The book presents a broad overview of computer graphics, its history and its pioneers, and the hardware tools it employs. … The book is presented in a very accessible fashion, with many grayscale and color illustrations, Mathematica or Matlab codes and examples with solutions. … The book is definitely a must read for all who are interested in computer graphics in any way.” (Agnieszka Lisowska, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1235, 2012)Authors and Affiliations
