Third in the classic series

I'm the archivist for the free Graphics Gems code base on the web. I do it for free, because this code is so valuable. Others think so, too: there is an average of 100 hits a day on the site. Go look at the online list of what's in this volume to see if it's for you.Highlights (for me) include an IEEE fast square root, uniform random rotations, triangle-cube intersection, and BSP tree ray tracing. There's tons more.

invaluable collection of gems

It's unbelievable that how they can put those dozens of invaluable gems written by graphics programmer from all over the world together into one book. It's a must for every graphics programmer.
