Computer-Aided Graphics and Design
Computer-Aided Graphics and Design by Daniel L. Ryan provides a comprehensive introduction to the theory and practice of computer-aided drafting (CAD) and geometric modeling for engineering and design applications. The book covers fundamentals such as geometric constructions, vector mathematics, coordinate transformations, and computer graphics algorithms, while emphasizing the integration of software tools and computational techniques to create accurate and efficient technical drawings. Ryan also discusses the interaction between hardware and software in CAD systems, visualization methods, and real-world design examples that demonstrate how computer graphics enhance productivity in engineering design. Serving both as an instructional text for students and a practical reference for professionals, this work bridges foundational graphic principles with contemporary computer-based design methods.
