A textbook introducing undergraduate students in engineering or computer science to the fundamentals of Computer Aided Geometric Design. Assuming students have backgrounds in basic computer graphics and linear algebra, Farin and Hansford (both: computer science and engineering, Arizona State U.) include more applications than the treatment of the technology in most computer graphics books, and less theory and mathematics than more sophisticated accounts.
