This fifth edition has been fully updated to cover the many
advances made in CAGD and curve and surface theory since 1997, when
the fourth edition appeared. Material has been restructured into
theory and applications chapters. The theory material has been
streamlined using the blossoming approach; the applications
material includes least squares techniques in addition to the
traditional interpolation methods. In all other respects, it is,
thankfully, the same. This means you get the informal, friendly
style and unique approach that has made "Curves and Surfaces for
CAGD: A Practical Guide" a true classic.
The book's unified treatment of all significant methods of curve
and surface design is heavily focused on the movement from theory
to application. The author provides complete C implementations of
many of the theories he discusses, ranging from the traditional to
the leading-edge. You'll gain a deep, practical understanding of
their advantages, disadvantages, and interrelationships, and in the
process you'll see why this book has emerged as a proven resource
for thousands of other professionals and academics.
