Reviews

From the reviews: The book does contain many algorithm examples and ... graphics examples, as well as a scattering of data structures but it would have benefited greatly from a chapter devoted entirely to graphics programming. ... A computer graphics specialist who needs to learn how to actually implement the various algorithms would need to look elsewhere. ... This book would be ideal as an introduction to the field for a beginning researcher, or for a graphics specialist who wants ... introductory information on a particular algorithm. (Alasdair McAndrew, ACM Computing Reviews, December, 2009) The book consist of eleven chapters organized in four parts and can be seen as a self-contained tool for graduate students, researchers, and interested practitioners from industry, regarding the usage of implicit curves and surfaces for computer graphics, geometric modelling, computer games etc. ... The book ends with a rich reference section containing more than 400 papers, enforcing the idea that this work represents a valuable source for the reader. (Mirel Cosulschi, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1190, 2010)
