Description

Book Synopsis
PLaSM is a general purpose functional language to compute with geometry. This book shows that such geometric code can be surprisingly compact and easy to write. It introduces the basic programming with PLaSM and algebraic and geometric foundations of shape modeling, the foundations of computer graphics, and more.

Trade Review
"...an ambitious text that covers a lot of ground...very suitable for postgraduate research and teaching..." (Computer-Aided Design, 2004)
