Focus On Curves and Surfaces

Summary: Excellent introduction
Review: This is a first review I am ever writing. I was looking for a book that would give a clear explanation of bsplines and nurbs in an easy and intuitive way and found this book to serve the purpose perfectly. Highly technical books skip these concepts and go into complex mathematical concepts assuming that the reader has a perfect background. This book does not assume this. Along with explanation it also gives why this particular method is beneficial and the weaknesses of it. This is also good for those who are already familiar with the subject but like to teach it to others. I wish the author could take other complicated methamatical topics and explain them also at this level clearly outlining their use in the industry like Fourier transforms, Z transform, Wavelets etc. Computer Graphics and Computer Aided Geometric Design are fields of highly sophisticated mathematics and we need books like these for every topic.
