From Library Journal:

This very rich offering of interesting computer exercises contains a large number of brief chapters clustered into large sections such as Simulation, Speculation, Visualization, and Exploration. Each chapter or subchapter discusses one idea, picture equation, or concept and frequently provides a "pseudocode" for readers to generate examples on their own computers. The book is a stimulat ing potpourri for readers with a fair amount of mathematical and computer knowledge, although it will likely prove to be hard going for novices. The author is a specialist in computer graphics and its applications. Computers and the Imagination is recommended chiefly for academic and large public libraries.
