Features: This book elaborates on the mathematical models of curves and surfaces in computer-aided design and manufacturing, aiming to help understand the application methods at the core of CAD software. It conducts both local and global studies on Bézier and B-spline curves and surfaces from geometric and analytical perspectives. Numerous diagrams are provided to aid in understanding the reasoning conclusions, with proofs always starting from the simplest special cases. The readership of this book is extremely broad: engineers, technicians, science and engineering students, vocational school students, and senior high school preparatory class students. In short, it is aimed at all individuals who currently use or will use CAD software for surfaces and curves. Readers will also appreciate the spectacular and impressive industrial applications showcased in the book's illustrations. This mathematics book lifts the veil from the "black box" of CAD software.
