“Surface modeling is a fundamental tool of CAGD. It's derived from the aeronautics industry because shapes of airplanes are complex and it is very difficult to express these shapes by using analytical surfaces. ... this book represents an important tool for graduate students, teachers and technical staff using CAGD, CAD and other related fields .” (Antonio López-Carmona, Mathematical Reviews, April 2018)
