Overview
Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines have become the de facto standard in CAD/CAM and computer graphics. This well-known book covers NURBS from their geometric beginnings to their industrial applications. The second edition incorporates new results and a chapter on Pythagorean curves, a development that shows promise in applications such as NC machining or robot motion control. Includes more than fifty new figures.

Explains how to use the curved Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines instead of millions of triangles to create computer graphics in applications from designing toy cars to making movie special effects. Revised from the 1995 with new research results and a chapter on Pythagorean curves, which shows promise in machining and robot motion control. Derived from material used in a one-semesters beginning graduate course requiring linear algebra, calculus, and some basic computer graphics. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
