Description
This book is a comprehensive guide to geometric modeling, covering a range of techniques and concepts. It is written by researchers who have helped to shape the field, and is aimed at providing a comprehensive introduction to the subject for those with an interest in computer-aided design. The book covers a broad range of techniques and concepts, and is written in a clear and accessible style. It provides a foundation for understanding the mathematics behind geometric modeling, and how these techniques can be used to create designs.
Written by researchers who have helped to found and shape the field, this book is a definitive introduction to geometric modeling. The authors present a broad base of fundamentally important techniques for curve and surface representations in computer-aided modeling with a focus on how the techniques can be used in design. In achieving a balance between mathematical rigor and broad applicability, they show how theoretical properties can be harnessed to drive practical algorithms, how a somewhat more abstract treatment can occasionally provide unifying elegance and implementational advantage.
