From the Back Cover:

The second edition of Fundamentals of Interactive Computer Graphics is completely rewritten to provide the most comprehensive, authoritative, and up-to-date coverage of the field. The authors provide a unique combination of current concepts and practical applications. The important algorithms in 2-D and 3-D graphics are detailed for easy implementation, including a close look at the more subtle special cases.

There is also a thorough presentation of the mathematical principles of geometric transformations and viewing. In this book, the authors explore multiple perspectives on the field of computer graphics: the user's, the application programmer's, the package implementor's, and the hardware designer's. There are over 100 full-color plates and over 700 figures illustrating the techniques presented in the book. Its many outstanding features ensure its position as the standard computer graphics reference for practitioners, and as a comprehensive and understandable text for students of all levels.
