Geometry and Interpolation of Curves and Surfaces

Download or read book Geometry and Interpolation of Curves and Surfaces written by Robin J. Y. McLeod and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1998-07-13 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text takes a practical, step-by-step approach to algebraic curves and surface interpolation motivated by the understanding of the many practical applications in engineering analysis, approximation, and curve-plotting problems. Because of its usefulness for computing, the algebraic approach is the main theme, but a brief discussion of the synthetic approach is also presented as a way of gaining additional insight before proceeding with the algebraic manipulation. Professionals, students, and researchers in applied mathematics, solid modeling, graphics, robotics, and engineering design and analysis will find this a useful reference.
