A Concise Introduction to Scientific Visualization : Past, Present, and Future by Brad Eric Hollister, Alex Pang - First edition 2022 - 1 recurso en línea (VII, 107 páginas) 82 ilustraciones, 61 ilustraciones a color
Preface -- Early Visual Models -- Illustration and Analysis -- Scientific Visualization in the 19th Century -- A Convergence with Computer Science -- Recent Developments -- The Future -- Bibliography.
Scientific visualization has always been an integral part of discovery, starting first with simplified drawings of the pre-Enlightenment and progressing to present day. Mathematical formalism often supersedes visual methods, but their use is at the core of the mental process. As historical examples, a spatial description of flow led to electromagnetic theory, and without visualization of crystals, structural chemistry would not exist. With the advent of computer graphics technology, visualization has become a driving force in modern computing. A Concise Introduction to Scientific Visualization - Past, Present, and Future serves as a primer to visualization without assuming prior knowledge. It discusses both the history of visualization in scientific endeavour, and how scientific visualization is currently shaping the progress of science as a multi-disciplinary domain.
