Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2000I'm the archivist for the free Graphics Gems code base on the web. I do it for free, because this code is so valuable. Others think so, too: there are 100 hits a day on average at the site. Go look at the online list of what's in this volume to see if it's for you.
Highlights in this volume (for me - everyone's favorites vary) include an implementation of Perlin's noise function, a guide to quaternions, some useful C macros for vector ops (wonderfully short and clever), and view correlation.
