An Introduction to Computational Geometry for Curves and Surfaces

By Philip Samuels and Alan Davies

Book Overview

This is an ideal introductory textbook for undergraduates studying the applications of mathematics of curves and surfaces, especially in the generation of computer graphics and computer-aided design. Written by establised textbook authors, the text develops ideas in differential and computational geometry, with numerous exercises, solutions, and worked examples throughout providing the student with ample opportunity to test their knowledge. Only a basic knowledge of vector and matrix algebra is assumed, making it invaluable for those coming to this difficult subject for the first time.
