    5.0 out of 5 stars Introduction to Graphics Theory
    Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2003
    I bought this book long ago and I have used it more than any other book I own. This book covers the basics of graphics theory. The book assumes some mathematical knowledge (linear algebra), but provides a solid review in the appendix. Beginning graphics student often worry about the technical details of their particular platform (how to put a pixel), and this book doesn't cover those issues; you'll need an OpenGL guide and a C book for that. Hearn and Baker write far more lucid prose than most academics.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good for Reference
    Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    It's a solid introduction to computer graphics. It might be a little dated now but it still serves as a good reference. I used it when I took my computer graphics class in college and I recently bought a used copy from Amazon so I have a fresh copy of it.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Seems a bit outdated.
    Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2002
    Verified Purchase
    This book is in sore need of an update! Much of the pictures and info is from the early 90's and has changed quite a bit. However, the parts describing the non-changing algorithms seem fairly well written.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Needed more C code
    Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2003
    The 3-D concepts aren't explained well. And yes, C code's sure lacking. I will give it 4 stars, because of the good explanations that accompany the 2-D chapters.
    I would have given it 5 stars had it featured more sample code (and yes, well documented too), and had the 3-D sections been more lucidly explained.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Good if you have a strong math background
    Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 1998
    This book really shouldn't be a "C version" for it contains very few C example codes, concentrating mostly on the maths side of CG. It also isn't a book for someone who doesn't have a strong mathematical background, it does not explan why something is that way or anything, it just puts the formulas there and a brief explanation of everything. It's not a book to be used as your only reference, and the Appendix on maths background is not very explaining unless you already know all that(making it useless).
