Advances in Geometric Modeling

* Based on the new idea of gathering state of the art topics in Geometric Modeling together with techniques, applications, systems and tools * The first book of its kind in that it incorporates several topics providing a class of practical solutions to problems in mathematical, engineering, and physical sciences * Provides a valuable resource, focusing on interdisciplinary methods and affiliate research in the area

Dr. Muhammad Sarfraz is a a member of the Department of Information and Computer Science, King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia.
