Forty years after its initial publication, this volume continues
to rank among the field's most-cited references. One of the
largest and finest available collections, the catalog covers
general properties of curves and types of derived curves. The
curves and the values of their parameters are illustrated by
nearly 90 images from a CalComp digital incremental
plotter.

Suitable for students and researchers in geometry and computer
science, the text begins by introducing general properties of
curves and types of derived curves. Subsequent chapters apply
these properties to conics and polynomials, cubic and quartic
curves, algebraic curves of high degree, and transcendental
curves. A total of more than 60 special curves are featured, each
illustrated with one or more CalComp plots containing curves in
up to eight different variants. Indexes provide tables of derived
curves, curve names, and a 95-item guide to further reading.
