Publisher Description

'Multimedia Maths' provides an accessible guide to understanding and using basic software applications including the golden section, co-ordinate systems, collision detection, vectors and parameters. Screen effects and image handling are explained at a complex level using a more detailed outline to build and develop on the basic transformations. More advanced multi-media themes of quaternion rotation, fractal texture, Bezier curves and B-splines are de-constructed and usefully linked to an interactive website. AUTHOR: Bieke Masselis holds a master's degree (KU Leuven and UGent) in mathematics and teaches at Howest University College, West Flanders, Begium. Ivo De Pauw also holds a master's degree in mathematics (UGent) and teaches at Howest University College. REVIEWS: "Achieves a perfect balance between deductive mathematics and broad accessibility, particularly through its Mathematica empowered companion site." Leo Storme (Department of Pure Mathematics and Computer Algebra, UGent) SELLING POINTS: A valuable resource for understanding and using mathematical techniques and applications within everyday working life 20 b/w illustrations
