Bøger i Mathematics and Visualization serien

This is the only textbook available on multiresolution methods in geometric modeling, a central topic in visualization, which is of great importance for industrial applications. Other supplementary material and software can be downloaded from the website www.ma.tum.de/primus 2001/.

It offers examples in many basic mathematical fields including polyhedra theory, group theory, solving polynomial equations, dynamical systems and differential topology. For a long time, arts, architecture, music and painting have been the source of new developments in mathematics.

Visualization has become increasingly important for many types of biomedical applications and this book collects the latest results in the development of visualization methods in this field.

This book covers combinatorial data structures and algorithms, algebraic issues in geometric computing, approximation of curves and surfaces, and computational topology. Coverage includes references to open source software and discussion of potential applications of the presented techniques.
