Wiley Geometric Programming for Computer Aided Design Book

Explore the fundamentals of geometric programming through this specialized text from Wiley. This book addresses a field of growing importance in Computer Aided Design (CAD) and its various related disciplines, including computer graphics, modeling, animation, scientific simulation, and robotics. As market-specific CAD applications for architecture and mechanical design expand, and as web-based collaborative design environments become more common, understanding geometric programming is essential. The text provides practical application through PLaSM, a general purpose functional language designed to compute with geometry. By using PLaSM, readers can understand how to produce VRML (Virtual Reality Modelling Language) output, bridging the gap between geometric computation and virtual reality modeling. This resource is designed for those working in computer science, architecture, and microprocessors who need a technical foundation in geometric computation.
