The NURBS Book (Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1995)

The book covers all aspects of non-uniform rational B-splines necessary to design geometry in a computer-aided environment.

Basic B-spline features, curve and surface algorithms, and state-of-the-art geometry tools are all discussed.

Detailed code for design algorithms and computational tricks are covered too, in a lucid, easy-to-understand style, with a minimum of mathematics and using numerous worked examples.

The book will be a must for students, researchers, and implementors whose work involves the use of splines.
