Download or read book Vector Analysis for Computer Graphics written by John Vince and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-06-18 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a complete introduction to vector analysis, especially within the context of computer graphics. The author shows why vectors are useful and how it is possible to develop analytical skills in manipulating vector algebra. Even though vector analysis is a relatively recent development in the history of mathematics, it has become a powerful and central tool in describing and solving a wide range of geometric problems. The book is divided into eleven chapters covering the mathematical foundations of vector algebra and its application to, among others, lines, planes, intersections, rotating vectors, and vector differentiation.
