Product Description:

The purpose of this book is to reveal to the interested (but perhaps mathematically unsophisticated) user the foundations and major features of several basic methods for curve and surface fitting that are currently in use.


From the Preface:

In recent years there has been explosive growth in the computational power
of computers, in the ease of access to these computers, and in computer
graphics. The development of some of the techniques used in computer
graphics relies on a wide range of mathematical methods for curve and
surface fitting. Since access to computers requires very little training in
mathematics, many of these methods may not be easily understood by the
great variety of people who are now able to use powerful computing
equipment. The purpose of this book is to reveal to the interested (but
perhaps mathematically unsophisticated) user the foundations and major
features of several basic methods for curve and surface fitting that are
currently in use. In this way, the authors hope to help bridge the gap
between the users and designers of curve and surface fitting methods. The intended readership includes a great variety of users of computer
graphics, such as geographers, cartographers, surveyors, geophysicists,
engineers, computer scientists, and applied mathematicians. For most of
the subject matter, the mathematical preparation required of the reader
does not exceed the level of first-year university courses. Indeed, beginning
with a review chapter of basic ideas from calculus and algebra (written in
a geometrically intuitive way), the reader is brought to some understanding
of progressively more advanced topics. The presentation is such that this
book can be used as a reference and learning source for any of the users
described above. Also, it could very well form the basis of a course for
students in any of these disciplines. In fact, this book originated as lecture
notes for a course given to practising geophysicists.
