DESCRIPTION:
PLaSM blends the powerful algebraic approach to programming developed at IBM research, with a dimension-independent approach to geometric data structures and algorithms, This book shows that such geometric code can be surprisingly compact and easy to write. scientific stimulation, robotics, CAD, Virtual Reality * Worked exercises for each topic * Uses PLaSM language (supplied) throughout to illustrate techniques * Supported with web presence Written for Industrial Practioners developing CAD software, mechanical engineers in Graphics, CAD and CAM, undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Computer Science and Mechanical Engineering,as well as programmers involved with developing visualization software.. For each topic, the mathematics is given, together with the PLaSM implementation (usually with a few lines of readable code) and some worked examples. PLaSM is a general purpose functional language to compute with geometry which the authors use throughout their text. Geometric Programming is currently of interest in CAD (Computer Aided Design) and related areas such as computer graphics, modeling and animation, scientific simulation and robotics. The PLaSM language output produces VRML (Virtual Reality Modelling Language) files which are used t
"One Star" according to Olga Kharitonova. Useless compilation of misc topics.
"an ambitious text that covers a lot of groundvery suitable for postgraduate research and teaching" (Computer-Aided Design, 2004)
