Computer aided geometric design

This book contains the edited proceedings of the first International Conference on Computer Aided Geometric Design, an important new field that draws on the principles of computer science, mathematics, and geometric design. The list of contributors includes most of the leading researchers in the field in North America and Europe. The papers, containing results that are not available elsewhere, are principally concerned with Coons patches, Bezier curves, and various kinds of splines, with their applications to computer aided geometric design. The book will prove of great value to computer scientists (especially those in computer graphics), numerical analysts, applied mathematicians, mechanical, civil, aeronautical, automotive engineers, and naval architects in academic or industrial positions and government laboratories.
