computergraphics, user-interface methodology, image
processing, system design, and signal processing.
This volume is intended for readers new to the field and who
require a quick and easy-to-read summary of what scientific
visualization is and what it can do. Written in a popular
andjournalistic style with many illustrations it will
enable readers to appreciate the benefits of scientific
visualization and how current tools can be exploited in many
application areas. This volume is indispensible for
scientists and research workers who have never used
computer graphics or other visual tools before, and who
wish to find out the benefitsand advantages of the new
approaches.
