Ebook: Applied Geometry for Computer Graphics and CAD

Focusing on the manipulation and representation of geometrical objects, this book explores the application of geometry to computer graphics and computer-aided design (CAD). Over 300 exercises are included, some new to this edition, and many of which encourage the reader to implement the techniques and algorithms discussed through the use of a computer package with graphing and computer algebra capabilities. A dedicated website also offers further resources and useful links.

Illustrated Mathematics is the result of 4 years' effort at the Swiss Federal Institute (ETH) in Zurich on the part of this author team and others. It is a collection of graphics and animations which can be directly applied to the teaching of mathematics, from elementary concepts in algebra, through geometry, trigonometry and calculus, to linear algebra and differential equations, independent of additional software. Created with Mathematica Notebooks, this CD-ROM allows for full 4-color visualization of images throughout. It contains MathReader (public domaine software) which enables viewers to run through the contents of the Notebooks without having access to the Mathematica software. It has a built-in print functionality so that teachers, students and other users can readily print out the images, make overheads for classroom use from them, etc
