[comp.graphics] Textbook for graphics course

td@alice.UUCP (Tom Duff) (03/21/89)

I will be teaching a graduate-level introductory graphics course,
starting in the middle of May.  It's been a few years since I've
done this, and I don't have a good idea what textbook I should
use.  Does anybody have any recommendations?

"Fundamentals of Interactive Computer Graphics"
J.D. Foley / A. Van Dam

"Computer Graphics"
Donald Hearn / M. Pauline Baker

I think you will find that no one book does a good job at hitting all
the topics one should have when taking a Computer Graphics course.  I
would suggest other "supplemental" materials be found.

Have fun,
