Wntten by writers 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.

 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. Appropriate for readers with mathematical maturity Mathematical maturity is a loose term used by mathematicians that refers to a mixture of mathematical experience and insight that cannot be directly taught, but instead comes from repeated exposure to complex mathematical concepts. .
