Paperback or Softback. Condition: New. Everyday Life is Full of Math. Book.

Paperback. Condition: New. This book explores how mathematics appears in everyday life. It presents math in a fun and beautiful way using knowledge at the junior high and high school level. It is written for general readers, not for experts. The book avoids difficult math and instead focuses on how new ways of thinking and careful observation can reveal interesting math ideas. It is divided into 33 topics. These include familiar recreational math like tournament games, magic squares, and math tricks, as well as unique ideas like the geometry of origami and toy train tracks. Some of the topics in this book may be unfamiliar to readers outside Japan, as they are based on things the author has observed in daily life in Japan. However, this is also one of the unique features of the book. It offers readers a glimpse into everyday life in Japan. The goal is to help readers feel closer to math, rather than to provide deep academic content.Features Easy to understand with junior high or high school level math knowledge. Introduces math found in real life, like origami. Includes many topics based on the author's popular social media posts (over 23,000 followers on X). Connects math topics with hands-on activities and experiences. Helps readers see the world in a new way through a "mathematical way of thinking". Focuses on intuitive and visual understanding, not difficult formulas or theories. Provide links (with QR codes) to puzzle apps developed by the author.…

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This book equips readers with the fundamentals of 3DCG that support the advanced technologies. The content of this book is divided into four categories: modeling, rendering, character animation, and physical simulation, and each is explained in a separate chapter. In simpler terms, these four technologies can be described as creating shapes, creating images, creating motion, and reproducing the behavior of the natural world. The "Modeling" chapter describes the theory behind describing the shape of an object using surface meshes and then editing and manipulating them. The chapter "Rendering" focuses on the calculation of the luminance of an object's surface, and describes methods for calculating global illumination and generating fast images using precomputation to produce realistic images. Physical phenomena such as light scattering, which is necessary to improve realism, are also explained. The "Character Animation" chapter introduces the skeleton method, a standard technique in animation production, and describes various animation editing techniques for humanoid character models. Finally, the chapter on "Physical Simulation" describes methods to compute the behavior of complex natural phenomena, including not only hard objects but also flowing objects such as water and air. The four topics listed here are the fundamental elements that support 3DCG. The chapters were written by researchers who are active at the forefront of their respective fields. Each of the authors has a remarkable track record and can be said to have led the development of 3DCG technology in Japan with their wealth of experience and knowledge.To understand the mathematical content of this book, basic knowledge of analysis and linear algebra is required. This book is suitable for upper undergraduate and graduate students in computer science, engineering, and other fields in science, and is also useful for practitioners in game production and those who are interested in 3DCG. The "Character Animation" chapter introduces the skeleton method, a standard technique in animation production, and describes various animation editing techniques for humanoid character models.
