Description
This text on geometry with computer modelling presents some elementary for analytical modelling and visualization of curves and surfaces. The author systematically examines such powerful tools as 2-D and 3-D animation of geometric images, transformations, shadows, colours, and then further studies more complex problems in differential geometry.
