Algebraic Geometry in CAD / CAM: The Role of 19th Century Mathematics in Geometric Modeling

Author: Pierre J. Malraison


Geometric modeling is the representation and manipulation of geometic data in a computer. It is the mathematics that is central to Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM). Its central objective in this context is to balance the numerical inaccuracies of digital computations against the need for accurate results and reasonable performance.
