Summary:

"This unique text explains the main ideas behind vectors and matrices. The book covers the relationships between vectors, matrices, basis vectors, and barycentric coordinates, and explains how these concepts are applied to produce curves and surfaces, and helps in the understanding of spatial relationships. The concepts discussed extend to CAD/CAM, animation, and rendering, making this work an excellent supplemental text for those courses as well. More than 150 figures and 110 exercises and solutions help bring a hard-to-find insight and understanding of vectors and matrices, highlighting how they are useful in geometric and 3D modeling"-- Provided by publisher.

Mortenson's book presents lessons on vectors and matrices in geometric and 3D modeling - the mathematics at the foundation of computer graphics applications. The lessons appear as chapters, generally organized from introductory to more complex topics. Within each chapter, there is a similar order of elementary-to-advanced discussion.
