Farin writes for engineers, programmers and students, pairing each method w/ implementation notes, exercises and an index. The book opens w/ "P. Bezier: How a Simple System Was Born," Pierre Bezier's own account of the curve system he developed for Renault's UNISURF. Farin then works through points and affine maps, the de Casteljau algorithm, the Bernstein form of a Bezier curve, polynomial interpolation, spline curves in Bezier form, cubic spline interpolation, B-splines and geometric continuity, w/ two chapters on differential geometry by Wolfgang Boehm and later chapters on conic sections, rational curves and surfaces. Illustrated w/ figures and diagrams throughout, the fourth edition is reported to add material on recursive subdivision, surface faceting, stereolithography, triangulations and scattered data interpolation. Farin earned his doctorate at the Technical University of Braunschweig under Wolfgang Boehm, worked on the CAD/CAM team at Mercedes-Benz in Stuttgart, and taught at the University of Utah before joining Arizona State University in 1987, where he worked for 29 years. He served for two decades as co-editor-in-chief of the journal Computer Aided Geometric Design. The companion disk is understood to hold C programs and data sets for the book's algorithms; copies offered today rarely retain it. …
