Curve and Surface Design: Saint-Malo, 1999 (Hardcover, 1st ed)

The series of books edited or co-edited by Professor Larry One of Two new volumes of carefully refereed and edited papers on the most current developments in the theory and applications of curves and surfaces.
These two volumes contain a selection of papers presented at the Saint-Malo Conference on Approximation Theory in July 1999. Each contains several invited survey papers written by experts in the field, along with contributed research papers. They will be of great interest to mathematicians, engineers, and computer scientists working in the fields of Approximation Theory, Computer-Aided Geometric Design (CAGD), Computer Graphics, Numerical Analysis, CAD/CAM, and application areas.
"Curve and Surface Design" includes the following topics:
B-bases
