Welcome to the The NURBS Book, a publication of
Springer-Verlag. The book covers
all geometrical and algorithmic aspects of (Non-Uniform
Rational B-splines), commonly referred to as NURBS. Most of
the book contains material never published before. It offers an excellent
mix of mathematical derivations, formulas, algorithms, illustrations and
examples, making the book a valuable source for a broad audience.
Table of contents:
