Is figure 5.6 really figure 5.8 and
figure 5.7 really figure 5.6 and
figure 5.8 really figure 5.7?


Mathematically and algorithmically, I think this book will be great for
out undergraduate and 1st graduate course in graphics.  I wish
some of the systems references were a little more up to date.
i.e.  Not much on the X window system (especially Interviews).  Microsoft
windows is hardly mentioned (is it?).

This book reduces the load the students have to pay for the course,
currently a 4 book set.  I think this book with Glassners ray tracing 
book will  work fine.
