Interactive Curves and Surfaces

Rating:
Summary: easier than a book to some of you
Review: For those without a strong mathematical background, the software presented here can be useful in developing a good qualitative understanding of curves and surfaces. The interactive nature of the software lets you develop an intuition about such ideas as the parametric curve and surface, basis functions and Bezier curves.

Some readers will take to this much more easily than a conventional text. The coverage of the common ideas for constructing such items, in computer graphics can be very useful in dealing with more advanced graphics packages that assume this prior knowledge.
