5.0 out of 5 stars
Great book!
The book is written in a clear and clean mathematical language. It offers an excelent introduction into both subjects - projective geometry and NURBS. It would be great if, in addition to the basic exercises, the book would also contain more advanced problems. Evidently this book is not for programmers or CAD users looking for a reference book on practical algorithms or...

From the perspective of a beginner
I have never seen projective geometry before and the explanation of the basics is very good, in the beggining. The standard quickly drops, some key terms are introduced with scant or no detail and then used heavily in subsequent sections and derivations. Maybe this book would be effective if it were covered in lectures and tutorials, unfortunately I don't have that...

Great book!,
By Igor Borovikov (Foster City, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nurbs: From Projective Geometry to Practical Use, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)
The book is written in a clear and clean mathematical language. It offers an excelent introduction into both subjects - projective geometry and NURBS. It would be great if, in addition to the basic exercises, the book would also contain more advanced problems. Evidently this book is not for programmers or CAD users looking for a reference book on practical algorithms or applications of NURBS. But it is an excellent starting point for learning the mathematical foundations of NURBS.
