Book Description

Bill Casselman combines a completely self-contained step-by-step introduction to the graphics programming language PostScript with an analysis of the requirements of good mathematical illustrations. The many small simple graphics projects can also be used in courses in geometry, graphics, or general mathematics. Mathematicians; scientists, engineers, and even graphic designers seeking help in creating technical illustrations need look no further.
