An ordinary text
This is a common secondary level text. Like most current texts of this type, it fails to give the reader any understanding of the breadth of this subject as developed over the last 150 years. There are a number of useful tricks of interest to engineers, computer graphics specialists, and other 3D modelers that this text does not even point to for additional reading. However, for its intended audience, it delivers adequately but still does not entice the imagination much.
