Overview
Contains a carefully edited selection of papers that were presented at the Symposium on Trends in Approximation Theory, held in May 2000, and at the Oslo Conference on Mathematical Methods for Curves and Surfaces, held in July 2000. Mathematical Methods for Curves and Surfaces covers topics such as Bézier curves, conic sections, offsets, and wavelets.

From The Critics
Based on a July 2000 conference, this collection presents recent research on the numerical analysis of curves and surfaces. Topics of the 47 papers include a best-fit algorithm for implicit surfaces and plane curves, approximate implicitization, surface animation for flower growth, knot insertion algorithms and local linear independence, local tension methods for bivariate scattered data interpolation, the numerical stability of collocation by smooth splines for volterra integral equations, and computational experiments with resultants for scaled Bernstein polynomials.

An edited selection of papers from the Third International Conference on Mathematical Methods in Computer Aided Geometrical Design, held in Ulvik, Norway, June 1994. It includes 12 invited surveys on topics of current interest, along with 38 refereed research papers. Among the topics are data fitting, interpolation, and approximation; fairing and shape preservation; geometry of curves and surfaces; multivariate splines; nonlinear and rational splines; radial basis functions; and connections with wavelets.
