Review: Subdivision surfaces allow a designer to specify an approximate form of a surface defining an object and to define and smooth the form to obtain a more useful or attractive version of the surface. This book aims to provide a unified view of the field and to explain the mathematics thoroughly, but as simply as possible. There are chapters on: B-spline surfaces; Box-spline surfaces; Generalized-spline surfaces; Convergence and smoothness; Evaluation and estimation of surfaces; and Shape control. The book is for mathematically-inclined Ph.D. students in computer science and researchers with advanced graduate-level expertise.
