Features: This book introduces the theoretical research and practical application achievements of the Computer-Aided Geometric Design and Graphics Discipline Research Group of the Department of Mathematics at Zhejiang University over the past decade. Starting from simple basic concepts, it explains the principles and algorithms of computer representation, interpolation, fitting, approximation, discretization, patching, intersection, differentiation, integration, transformation, deformation, reconstruction, and simplification of curves and surfaces in a progressive manner. It also introduces research findings on subdivide surfaces, interval surfaces, and offset surfaces, which are hot topics in international research. The subject matter is novel and cutting-edge, with rich and extensive content, interdisciplinary focus, and application-oriented approach, providing new tools for industrial product exterior design and graphics software development. This book is suitable for readers in universities, research institutions, industrial enterprises, and software companies involved in Computer-Aided Design/Manufacturing, industrial product modeling, and computer graphics. It also serves as an excellent guide for those aspiring to pursue research in geometric design theory.
