This book focuses on conceptual aspects of computer graphics, covering the fundamental mathematical models as well as the inherent problems encountered in the implementation of those models. The approach assumes only a fundamental knowledge of calculus and linear algebra. The complete C source code for the implementation of all the algorithms can be accessed from the book's website. Together, the book and electronic portion enable readers to understand and practice with the basic techniques involved in the implementation of a 3D graphics system.

Reviews for Computer Graphics: Theory and Practice

The strength of the book is that it emphasizes a mathematical approach and particularly mathematical models in teaching computer graphics. ... An accompanying e-book provides complete working implementations and course-related material. ... this novel, highly mathematical exploration of computer graphics is useful for advanced audiences. Recommended. -C. Tappert, CHOICE, December 2012
