Dual-Quaternions and Computer Graphics

A useful guide. The examples assume a particular environment, but that is fixable.

A colleague recommended this and I can see why. It does something that few technical books manage: it respects the reader's time. The author is unusually honest about where the simplifications break down, which I appreciated. Some of the material is available elsewhere, but rarely presented this clearly. There is a section near the end that ties several earlier ideas together in a way I had not seen before. Good value for the price and worth the time it takes to work through properly.

A few useful pages, but mostly material I had seen better elsewhere.

There is a particular kind of technical book that is dense without being difficult, and this is one of them. A couple of chapters felt like they could have been merged, but that is a minor complaint.

The early chapters move quickly through material I already knew, but the later sections were genuinely new to me. Not one I will be returning to. There are better introductions to graphics available.
