BTW (off-topic): What is the standard comprehensive computer graphics
text these days? When I was in grad school, it was Foley-Van Dam (and
some of my friends worked for Andy Van Dam so they considered no other
book) but I have heard it is quite out-of-date.
FVD is still a good survey text -- not sure if there is one definitive
book as the field is so large. De Boor's 'A Practical Guide to
Splines', Bartels, Beatty, and Barsky 'An Introduction to Splines for
Use in Computer Graphics and Geometric Modeling' and Farin's 'Curves and
Surfaces for Computer Aided Geometric Design' are a nice trio to have.
I envy your friends :)
good luck!!
