About the Book

This book contains various types of mathematical descriptions of curves and surfaces, such as Ferguson, Coons, Spline, BA(c)zier and B-spline curves and surfaces. The materials are classified and arranged in a unified way so that beginners can easily understand the whole spectrum of parametric curves and surfaces. This book will be useful to many researchers, designers, teachers, and students who are working on curves and surfaces. The book can be used as a textbook in computer aided design classes.
