دانلود کتاب Mathematics of Surfaces XII: 12th IMA International Conference, Sheffield, UK, September 4-6, 2007. Proceedings

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th IMA International Conference on the Mathematics of Surfaces, held in Sheffield, UK in September 2007.

The 22 revised full papers presented together with 8 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. Among the topics addressed is the applicability of various aspects of mathematics to engineering and computer science, especially in domains such as computer aided design, computer vision, and computer graphics. The papers cover a range of ideas from underlying theoretical tools to industrial uses of surfaces. Research is reported on theoretical aspects of surfaces including topology, parameterization, differential geometry, and conformal geometry, and also more practical topics such as geometric tolerances, computing shape from shading, and medial axes for industrial applications. Other specific areas of interest include subdivision schemes, solutions of differential equations on surfaces, knot insertion, surface segmentation, surface deformation, and surface fitting.
