Description
Scientific visualization is the art of making the unseen visible, through the use of 2D and 3D computer graphics coupled with high speed computations. It is a field of growing importance to virtually all scientific disciplines. It can be used to understand and solve scientific problems, find hidden patterns in data and create models and visualizations for ideas that were previously conceptual. In this text, each chapter explores one of the many possibilities for visualization.
