Description - Practical Handbook of Curve Design and Generation by David H. von Seggern
This text presents the basic mathematics of curves in a manner that enables the reader to apply the material to their own work with minimum effort. By knowing how curves are mathematically generated and how their shape is controlled, the reader can more fully exploit available computer tools, modify these tools themselves and provide input for others to modify them. It should also help them to identify mathematical equations required to produce specific curves. Featuring some 300 graphic examples, the book is organized so that early chapters cover fundamental polynomial, trigonometric and exponential forms. The mathematical transformation of curves is then treated in order to give the reader a general approach for modifying known curves. Later chapters introduce complex curves that can be composed from the building blocks presented in earlier chapters. The final chapters cover ideas in space curves and in surfaces.
