Visualization and Modeling is essential reading for anyone who wishes to examine expert thinking and current practice in this exciting and fast-moving area.

Visualization and Modeling

A network connection can provide a window to the world of information, where data programs can be exchanged with millions of other users. New styles of virtual and multimedia information are now being developed that will become an integral part of these interactions. "The Internet in 3D" covers this exciting and fast-moving area, discussing techniques and applications of using 3D multimedia on the Internet.

The Internet in 3D

John Vince explains a wide range of mathematical techniques and problem-solving strategies associated with computer games, computer animation, virtual reality, CAD, and other areas of computer graphics. Covering all the mathematical techniques required to resolve geometric problems and design computer programs for computer graphic applications, each chapter explores a specific mathematical topic prior to moving forward into the more advanced areas of matrix transforms, 3D curves and surface patches. Problem-solving techniques using vector analysis and geometric algebra are also discussed. All the key areas are covered including: Numbers, Algebra, Trigonometry, Coordinate geometry, Transforms, Vectors, Curves and surfaces, Barycentric coordinates, Analytic geometry. Plus – and unusually in a student textbook – a chapter on geometric algebra is included.
