The final chapters look into the three-dimensional human-machine communication and a class of local interpolating splines. This book will prove useful to design engineers.

This book provides a comprehensive coverage of the fields Geometric Modeling, Computer-Aided Design, and Scientific Visualization, or Computer-Aided Geometric Design.

This book is organized in two parts.

A leading expert in CAGD, Gerald Farin covers the representation, manipulation, and evaluation of geometric shapes in this the Third Edition of Curves and Surfaces for Computer Aided Geometric Design.

The volume's dozen papers are organized into five sections on: shape preserving representations of curves, optimality of B-bases, blossoming and geometric approach, shape preserving representations of surfaces, and trigonometric bases for ...

" This book will be of interest to computer graphics enthusiasts, software developers for CAD/CAM systems, geometric modeling researchers, graphics programmers, academicians, and many others throughout the graphics community.

This book will prove useful to mathematicians, computer scientists, and advance mathematics students.

This book will be useful to many researchers, designers, teachers, and students who are working on curves and surfaces. The book can be used as a textbook in computer aided design classes.

This book offers a new system of geometric processing techniques that attain accurate, robust, and compact computations, and allow the construction of a systematically structured CAD system.
