4.0 out of 5 stars An entry level book on geometric modeling, July 27, 2000
By Prabhjot Singh (ANN ARBOR, MI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Geometric Modeling (Hardcover)
This book is a definitive introduction to geometric modeling. However, the sections on solid modeling and surface-surface intersection are lacking in depth. A serious reader may consider consulting books by Farin and Piegl for Geometric modeling and Hoffman/Mantyla for solid modeling.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mortenson does it again!, December 17, 1998
I have come to rely on Michael Mortenson's books as my prime resource for programming computer graphics. Most books on this topic expect the reader to have an advanced degree in mathematics. But Mortenson has the ability to talk to you regardless of your prior knowledge of the topic (indeed, you'll feel you have earned a math degree after reading this book without even trying).

This book is so complete that I feel it is the only book you'll ever need to understand the topic of geometric modelling. I highly recommend it (and any Mortenson book) to everyone interested in serious computer graphics programming.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good introduction in GEOMETRIC MODELING!, July 7, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Geometric Modeling (Hardcover)
This is an authorative, first-stage book on geometric modeling. I think everyone who is interested in geometric modeling will find it's beneficial for research as well as for applications.
