Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This is an introductory textbook for undergraduates studying mathematics, engineering, or computer science, and explains how differential and computational geometry are used to explain the mathematics of curves and surfaces. It assumes only a basic knowledge of vector and matrix algebra, and is filled with numerous exercises, solutions, and worked examples. Ideal for those interested in computer graphics or computer-aided design, this book will be invaluable for those needing to understand the complex mathematics which lies behind these important areas of application.
Bibliography: (pages 201-202) and index.
Part 1: Differential geometry -- Plane curves -- Space curves -- Surfaces -- Curvature of a surface -- Part 2: Computational geometry -- Plane curves -- Space curves -- Surface patches -- Composite surfaces.
