4.0 out of 5 stars
Great book but some annoying typos and index needs work,
By A Customer
This review is from: Computer Graphics Handbook (Paperback)
This book is a treasure trove of key math concepts, formulas and so forth all having to do with graphics.It is only for graphics! No long winded drill downs into Linear Algebra Theory or Anayltic Geometry or Vector Spaces. Dare I say, it is like a collection of Zen koans for math literate programmers who need a refresher in 3D (oh yeah and 2D) Dharma. However, the publisher could be better about some typos in formulas that drove me nuts. Only a couple, but when you rely on reference materials, that is enough. Buy this book and keep it near you.
