Algebraic geometry and geometric modeling both deal with curves and surfaces generated by polynomial equations. Algebraic geometry investigates the theoretical properties of polynomial curves and surfaces; geometric modeling uses polynomial, piecewise polynomial, and rational curves and surfaces to

β¦ Synopsis
Surveys, tutorials, and research papers from a summer 2002 workshop examine a range of topics in algebraic geometry and geometric modeling. Papers are divided into sections on modeling curves and surfaces, multisided patches, implicitization and parametrization, topic varieties, and mixed volume and resultants, and papers from both disciplines are included in each section. Some specific topics include polar forms, interference analysis of conics and quadrics, rational M-patches and tensor-border patches, and toric ideals, real toric varieties, and the moment map. A translation of an 1841 paper which foreshadows the modern application of mixed volumes in algebraic geometry is also included.

Algebraic Geometry provides an impressive theory targeting the understanding of geometric objects defined algebraically. Geometric Modeling uses every day, in order to solve practical and difficult problems, digital shapes based on algebraic models. In this book, we have collected articles bridging
