This book-the only one built around this approach-is certain to change the way you think about CAGD and the way you perform it, and all it requires is a basic background in calculus and linear algebra, and simple programming skills. \u003cbr\u003e* Written by one of the world's most eminent CAGD researchers\u003cbr\u003e* Designed for use as both a professional reference and a textbook, and addressed to computer scientists, engineers, mathematicians, theoreticians, and students alike\u003cbr\u003e* Includes chapters on Bezier curves and surfaces, B-splines, blossoming, and multi-sided Bezier patches\u003cbr\u003e* Relies on an easily understood notation, and concludes each section with both practical and theoretical exercises that enhance and elaborate upon the discussion in the text\u003cbr\u003e* Foreword by Professor Helmut Pottmann, Vienna University of Technology\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ron Goldman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1493303554\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781493303557\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Morgan Kaufmann Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/29\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ron Goldman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48995805888767,"sku":"9781493303557","price":142.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pyramid-algorithms-ron-goldman-9781493303557","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
