Some PhD Theses of Former Students
- Visualization of Four-Dimensional Space and Its Applications(1991)
- The thesis by Jianhua Zhou describes a sophisticated visualization system that was
built for SGI graphics workstations at the time. Applications in Mathematics and in
Engineering are explored. Unfortunately, color plates and animations have been lost.
