Foreword

The goal of this book was to assemble in one book many subjects that are needed in modern computer graphics. The area of computer graphics evolves very quickly – if this book was written ten years ago it would have been very different. The next ten years will also bring great changes to the area of computer graphics.

The part which remains nearly the same is the mathematics and basic algorithms. But even in this area there are some changes — e.g. spherical harmonics which are widely used now had little use ten years ago. And in the years to follow some new mathematical algorithms and notions may appear and become very useful.

This book starts with basic mathematics and algorithms. It includes a mathematical background not only on ...
