Description: This volume provides an analysis and exposition of the theoretical bases for computer graphics and CAD in order to give our understanding and exploitation of them a more rigorous and comprehensive basis. This bridging of the gap between theory and practice in a systematic and detailed way is of great interest at the present time. The extensive and detailed reference material in this volume has not been published previously. The wide range of the material provides the reader with a standard reference book.
