Despite the fact that Maple V has become one of the most popular
computer algebra systems on the market, surprisingly few users
realize its potential in the field of scientific visualization. The
purpose of this book is to equip the reader with a variety of
graphics tools needed on the voyage of discovery into the complex
and often beautiful world of curves and surfaces. A comprehensive
treatment of Maple's graphics commands and structures is combined
with an introduction to the main aspects of visual perception. Top
priority is given to the use of light, color, perspective, and
geometric transformations. Numerous examples, accompanied by
pictures (many in color), cover all aspects of Maple graphics. The
examples can be easily customized to suit the individual needs of
the reader. The approach is context independent, and as such will
appeal to students, educators, and researchers in a broad spectrum
of scientific disciplines. For the general user at any level of
experience, this book can serve as a comprehensive reference
manual. For the beginner, it offers a user- friendly elementary
introduction to the subject, with mathematical requirements kept to
a minimum. For those interested in advanced mathematical
visualization, it explains how to maximize Maple's graphical
capabilities. In particular, this book shows how to turn Maple into
an excellent modeling tool capable of generating elaborate surfaces
that conventional modelers cannot produce. These surfaces can be
exported to an external ray tracer (e.g. POV-ray) for sophisticated
photo-realistic rendering. All of the Maple code segments which are
presented in the book, as well as high-resolution pictures showing
alternative renderingsof some of the book's color plates, are
included on the accompanying DOS diskette.
