Focusing on dual quaternions and their associated Clifford algebras, this book offers a fresh perspective tailored for the Computer Graphics community. It aims to make these mathematical concepts more accessible, bridging the gap between advanced mathematics and practical applications in graphics.
In this study, first published in 1965, the author explores the implications of research for an alternative approach to religious education. The book deals with the psychological bases of religious development, reviewing the natural limitations as well as the basic needs of the young, and how religious education should be affected by educational theory and practice. The author also examines what content and methods of teaching are consistent with the healthy development of children and adolescents. Teachers in schools, students in training, lecturers, clergy and ministers, and local education authority committees will welcome the book as an important aid to the task of rethinking syllabuses and the need for more child-centred methods of teaching.
Focusing on high-level algorithms, this book offers an engaging introduction to computer graphics and geometric modeling.
