A History of Curves and Surfaces in Computer Aided Geometric Design

Original: A History of Curves and Surfaces in Computer Aided Geometric Design [pdf]

A lengthy PDF tracing the history of curves and surfaces in computer aided geometric design is being shared and discussed. The document, hosted by Peking University's mathematics school, covers the mathematical foundations behind splines and surface modeling used in CAD systems. Readers with an interest in applied mathematics, engineering graphics and the origins of tools like Bezier curves and NURBS are engaging with the material.

Why now: The technical history of the mathematics underlying CAD appeals to engineers and mathematicians, driving discussion
