It's complete, with high quality content and good prose. It's well illustrated and an interesting subject... QU TalkQu 12:44, 3 December 2010 (UTC)


 * It does have nice illustrations. I can't speak to whether it covers the topic sufficiently or whether its contents are correct, unfortunately.  Maybe one of our mathematics majors can take a look. – Adrignola talk 13:52, 3 December 2010 (UTC)


 * This book could benefit from having some navigational aids added to it, but I don't think that's enough of an issue to keep it from featured status. It's a fine bit of work, and has my full support. --Jomegat (talk) 13:56, 3 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Sure, more content and navigation could be added but this is a useful and informative book. The topic is also original which helps broaden the range of the featured books.--ЗAНИA [[Image:Flag_of_Italy.svg|15px]]talk 22:52, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

until minor issues fixed It is a good book, and very welcome, but it is premature to raise it to featured. These are mostly minor issues in that they are easily fixed, but I think they should be fixed before we proceed. Glad to help with some of this as I would like to see this become featured. --JamesCrook (talk) 11:36, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
 * It lacks navigation templates.
 * As per front-page discussion, it needs to be copy edited by a native English speaker. This is mainly for some slight mis-uses of to/with/by, and for very occasional spelling errors e.g. 'ascrew' for 'askew'.
 * Many pages do not have sub heads making walls-of-text that are off putting to all but the determined. In particular programming details are not set-off in any way from the general flow of the story - which would benefit both casual readers treating it as a coffee table book and hard core graphics programmers like me who want those details.
 * Some LaTeX needs to be made displaystyle for clarity.
 * Many/most pages have review status 'minimal'.
 * Factual errors. W.R.Hamilton was Irish, not English.  Gauss had already discovered Quaternions; Hamilton rediscovered them.
 * The "review status of minimal" is irrelevant. Virtually no book has anything else - it's been reviewed to say there is no vandalism. The Featured Book criteria make no reference to FlaggedRevs IIRC QU TalkQu 21:11, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
