Algebraic geometry and geometric modeling both deal with curves and
surfaces generated by polynomial equations. Algebraic geometry
investigates the theoretical properties of polynomial curves and
surfaces; geometric modeling uses polynomial, piecewise polynomial,
and rational curves and surfaces to build computer models of
mechanical components and assemblies for industrial design and
manufacture. The NSF sponsored the four-day ''Vilnius Workshop on
Algebraic Geometry and Geometric Modeling'', which brought together
some of the top experts in the two research communities to examine
a wide range of topics of interest to both fields. This volume is
an outgrowth of that workshop. Included are surveys, tutorials, and
research papers. In addition, the editors have included a
translation of Minding's 1841 paper, ''On the determination of the
degree of an equations obtained by elimination'', which foreshadows
the modern application of mixed volumes in algebraic geometry. The
volume is suitable for mathematicians, computer scientists, and
engineers interested in applications of algebraic geometry to
geometric modeling.
