In the late 1950s, hardware became available that allowed the machining of 3D shapes out of blocks of wood or steel.1 These shapes could then be used as stamps and dies for products such as the hood of a car. The bottleneck in this production method
This book is an introduction to level set methods and dynamic implicit surfaces. These are powerful techniques for analyzing and computing moving fronts in a variety of different settings. While it gives many examples of the utility of the methods t
Product Descr iption Our first knowledge of differential geometry usually comes from the study of the curves and surfaces in $I\!\!R^3$ that arise in calculus. Here we learn about line and surface integrals, divergence and curl, and the various form
This article provides a historical account of the major developments in the area of curves and surfaces as they entered the area of CAGD { Computer Aided Geometric Design { until the middle 1980s. We adopt the de nition that CAGD deals with the cons
Focus on Curves and Surfacesby Kelly DempskiThis guide provides clear, practical explanations of curves and surfaces with the minimum of esoteric mathematical notation, making it far more accessible to work along with the material for a better under
