Applied Geometry for Computer Graphics and CAD

by Duncan Marsh

Focusing on the manipulation and representation of geometrical objects, this book explores the application of geometry to computer graphics and computer-aided design (CAD). Over 300 exercises are included, some new to this edition, and many of which encourage the reader to implement the techniques and algorithms discussed through the use of a computer package with graphing and computer algebra capabilities. A dedicated website also offers further resources and useful links.

I love the simplicity and clarity of the text. This is the way math textbooks should be written. But I really take issue with the typos and inconsistent notation used throughout this book. Hence why I'm deducting a star.

The presentation of concepts in this book is wonderfully free of unnecessary details, making it a great choice for a course textbook / main reference, but the amount of mistakes particularly in the example questions is not helpful for students who use this text to learn new materials.

NB: I am using the second edition by Springer.
