A comprehensive, up-to-date presentation of the indispensable core
concepts of geometric modeling
Now completely updated to include the most recent developments in
the field, Geometric Modeling, Second Edition presents a
comprehensive discussion of the core concepts of this subject. It
describes and compares all the important mathematical methods for
modeling curves, surfaces, and solids, and shows how to transform
and assemble these elements into complex models. Written in a
style free of the jargon of special applications, this unique
book focuses on the essence of geometric modeling and treats it
as a discipline in its own right.

It integrates the three important functions of geometric
modeling: to represent elementary forms (i.e., curves, surfaces,
and solids), to shape and assemble these into more complex forms,
and to determine concomitant derivative geometric elements (i.e.,
intersections, offsets, and fillets).

With more than 300 illustrations, Geometric Modeling, Second
Edition appeals to the reader's visual and intuitive skills in a
way that makes it easier to understand its more abstract
concepts. An extensive bibliography lists many supporting works,
directing the reader to more specialized treatments of this
subject.
