Visualization in Scientific Computing edited by Michel Grave, Yvon Le Lous, W.Terry Hewitt.

Visualization in scientific computing is getting more and more attention from many people. Especially in relation with the fast increase of com­ puting power, graphic tools are required in many cases for interpreting and presenting the results of various simulations, or for analyzing physical phenom...
