Modeling of Curves and Surfaces in CAD/CAM

1 Aims and Features of This Book The contents of t. his book were originally planned t. o be included in a book en­ titled Geometric lIIodeling and CAD/CAM to be written by M. Hosaka and F. Kimura, but since the draft. of my part of the book was finished much earlier than Kimura's, we decided to publish this part separately at first. In it, geometrically oriented basic methods and tools used for analysis and synthesis of curves and surfaces used in CAD/CAM, various expressions and manipulat...
