David Salomon is a professor emeritus of Computer Science at California State University, Northridge. He has authored numerous articles and Springer books, including Elements of Computer Security, Handbook of Data Compression, A Concise Introduction to Data Compression, Variable-length Codes for Data Compression, Transformations and Projections in Computer Graphics, Curves and Surfaces for Computer Graphics, Coding for Data and Computer Communications, Data Privacy and Security, and A Guide to Data Compression Methods.

From the reviews: "The book presents a broad overview of computer graphics, its history and its pioneers, and the hardware tools it employs. ... The book is presented in a very accessible fashion, with many grayscale and color illustrations, Mathematica or Matlab codes and examples with solutions. ... The book is definitely a must read for all who are interested in computer graphics in any way." (Agnieszka Lisowska, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1235, 2012)
