The Essentials of CAGD 1st

Putting the G into CAGD, the authors provide a much-needed practical and basic introduction to computer-aided geometric design. This book will help readers understand and use the elements of computer-aided geometric design, curves and surfaces, without the mathematical baggage that is necessary only for more advanced work. Though only minimal background in mathematics is needed to understand the book s concepts, the book covers an amazing array of topics such as Bezier and B-spline curves and their corresponding surfaces, subdivision surfaces, and NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines). Also included are techniques such as interpolation and least squares methods.

將G融入CAGD，作者提供了一本非常需要的實用和基礎的計算機輔助幾何設計入門書籍。這本書將幫助讀者理解和使用計算機輔助幾何設計的元素，包括曲線和曲面，而無需進一步的數學知識。儘管只需要很少的數學背景就能理解本書的概念，但本書涵蓋了眾多主題，如貝茲曲線和B樣条曲線及其相應的曲面，細分曲面和NURBS（非均勻有理B樣条）。此外，還包括插值和最小二乘法等技術。
