Review

Review of the hardback: 'The authors have displayed considerable erudition and ability in dealing with a difficult topic. Their practical, step-by-step approach to algebraic curves and surface interpolation is very commendable in view of the complexity of the subject.' J. A. Prescott, Robotica

Review of the hardback: 'This looks like a delightful way to introduce students to the subject.' The Mathematical Association of America

Review of the hardback: '... an elegant and serious introduction to the basic concepts and results of (elementary) algebraic geometry.' European Maths Society Journal

Book Description

This text takes a practical, step-by-step approach to algebraic curves and surface interpolation, motivated by the many practical applications in engineering analysis, approximation, and curve plotting problems. The authors start with simple interpolation and extend this in an intuitive fashion to the production of more complicated curves and surfaces.
