Geometry represented in computer systems is an essential element of numerous things in our lives -- the manufactured objects we use every day, every curve drawn on a phone or computer screen, every character on every printed page, every path followed by a robot, a CNC machine or a 3D printer, every structural or aerodynamic simulation, and every virtual world in a game or animation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is written for:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cb\u003eCurious Students\u003c\/b\u003e of engineering, computer science, or applied mathematics needing a clear account of how the shapes of things can be represented in a computer system, and how geometry is actually used in industry.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cb\u003eDedicated Instructors\u003c\/b\u003e who want to add a real-world flavor to calculus, linear algebra, differential geometry, or numerical analysis courses.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cb\u003eAmbitious CAD system users\u003c\/b\u003e who want to know how their systems work (and why they sometimes don’t), or want to implement add-on extensions.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cb\u003eSoftware engineers\u003c\/b\u003e in need of solid reference materials.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe material should be useful to people developing CAD software, games, animation, graphics, simulation, and manufacturing systems (both subtractive and additive).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome of the book is merely high-school coordinate geometry, presented from an industrial perspective, but the last few chapters discuss topics that will be new to many readers. Geometry can be explained with pictures; this book has hundreds of them to make advanced topics understandable.

He is recognized worldwide as a leading expert in the field, both by academics and industry leaders. He led the development of several new technologies in the NX CAD software, especially in geometric design. His advice and guidance have served to improve productivity at some of the world’s largest manufacturing companies. Beyond his industrial work, George has taught a graduate course in CAD\/CAM geometry at U.C. Irvine, and SIGGRAPH courses on solid modeling. He holds a B. Sc. in Mathematics from the University of Sheffield, and an M. A. in Mathematics from the University of California.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28 December 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCRC Press\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChapman and Hall\/CRC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781041315575\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e536\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"CRC Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63582714953868,"sku":"9781041315575","price":76.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781041315575","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
