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.

Store Description

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
