Making Images with Mathematics

Dr. Alexei Sourin got his MSc (1983) and PhD (1988) degrees in Russia in the prestigious National Research Nuclear University MEPHI (Moscow Engineering Physics Institute) where he also worked on challenging research tasks of visualization of complex atomic structures. Back in 1993, Dr. Sourin came to Singapore to become a faculty at the School of Computer Science and Engineering of the renowned Nanyang Technological University. Professor Sourin is working on research projects and teaching in the areas of computer graphics, virtual reality, user-computer interaction and sonification of geometry. Alexei Sourin is a Senior Member of IEEE. For many years, he was a Chair of the IFIP workgroup "Computer Graphics and Virtual Reality". Dr. Sourin has many research awards, and he was invited to give talks at many scientific events. He is also a coordinator of the annual international conferences on cyberworlds-immersive virtual communities that immensely augment the way we interact, participate in business and receive information throughout the world.

"This book is intended for computer science and engineering students and computer graphics practitioners. It can also be used by teachers as a reference material for a one-semester course of computer graphics and visualization. The book is self-contained and presents the theory in a very accessible way with many visual examples." (Agniezka Lisowska, zbMATH 1483.68003, 2022)
