Despite
its easy-to-understand and graphic-driven presentation style,
this book actually covers most of the mature and relevant
mathematical elements that one would expect to see in a typical,
more advanced book on the topic of CAGD. This demonstrates
that the authors have a profound mastery on the entire field
of CAGD, as well as a unique skill to present abstract, oftentimes
tedius mathematics intuitively. ...
I therefore strongly recommend this book to college students,
graduate students, engineering practitioners, or anyone who
wants to gain a comprehensive knowledge on geometric concepts,

This
book does a really good job at presenting the concepts and
methodologies of CAGD in a manner that is easy to learn from.
You leave this book with a complete understanding of the how
and why of the topics it presents. ...
