Geometric Modeling and Algebraic Geometry

The two fields of Geometric Modeling and Algebraic Geometry, thoughclosely related, are traditionally represented by two almost disjointscientific communities. Both fields deal with objects defined byalgebraic equations, but the objects are studied in different ways.This contributed book presents, in 12 chapters written byleading experts, recent results which rely on theinteraction of both fields. Some of these results have been obtainedin the frame of the European GAIA II project (IST 2001-35512) entitled'Intersection algorithms for geometry-based IT applications usingapproximate algebraic methods'.Jüttler, Bert is the author of 'Geometric Modeling and Algebraic Geometry', published 2007 under ISBN 9783540721840 and ISBN 3540721843.
