摘      要：The third entry in the Jim Blinn s Corner series, this is, like the others, a handy compilation of selected installments of his influential column. But here, for the first time, you get the Director s Cut of the articles: revised, expanded, and enhanced versions of the originals. What s changed? Improved mathematical notation, more diagrams, new solutions. What remains the same? All the things you ve come to rely on: straight answers, irreverent style, and innovative thinking. This is Jim Blinn at his best - now even *** 21 expanded and updated installments of Jim Blinn s Corner, dating from 1995 to 2001, and never before published in book formIncludes deleted scenes angential explorations that didn t make it into the original columnsDetails how Blinn represented planets in his famous JPL flyby animationsExplores a wide variety of other topics, from the concrete to the theoretical: assembly language optimization for parallel processors, exotic usage of C++ template instantiation, algebraic geometry, a graphical notation for tensor contraction, and his hopes for a future world
