Scientific Visualization
Computer graphics makes vast quantities of data accessible. Numerical
simulations frequently produce millions of data values. Similarly,
satellite-based sensors amass data at rates beyond our abilities to
interpret them by any other means than visually. Mathematicians use
computer graphics to explore abstract and high-dimensional functions
and spaces. Physicists can use computer graphics to transcend the
limits of scale. With it they can explore both microscopic and
macroscopic worlds.
